Imagine a game with no levels

[Shai]

At first when they said "there will be no level" I thought this gonna be like "The last remnant Online"

but well... I hoped too high.

Heh. Well my first thought was "How would that ever work in an MMO? How will they have character progression?" Skilling up your weapon ranks is fine, but I didn't know about that when I first heard "No levels." The level grind compromise, though, really isn't a big deal compared to all the other hype that wasn't delivered. Some of that stuff I really wanted in a game and got me really worked up to play XIV.

They are not smart enough to do what they had in mind and fell back on what they knew and the risk they took trying to do something good has caused this massive fk up they're now fixing. By going back to what they know best. And old system that works.

Well said.

That game sounds so good. It gave me that warm exciting feeling I had when I read about FFXIV pre-release...

I wonder why that could be

Imagine a game with no idiots
Where no one played like 12 year olds
where no one put on r50 gear at r1
where the babies didn't get spoon fed
where the game is actually fun without these people ruining it

This is the game I signed up for, but people like gifthorse cause so much grief ; ;

Although I've disagreed with gifthorse in other forums, its been mainly on his tone, lately though he's been making a lot of sense. There is a lot promised to us on the website (which I check religiously before the game came out), that we don't get in this game. They should take that information off the website. Honestly if I want to play an mmo the first place I go is a wiki or mmosite, and then I go to their main website. The XIV website is misleading.

yeah i actually wondered about that, i guess they have an asterix somewhere that says is subject to change, but if you have already changed, do you have a responsibility to tell people? Going off that site, your going to get a very different experience for a number of classes.

and combat where position mattered

a game where linkshells could band together and make houses and ships

a game with a rich story

where you are free to play your own customised class

whatever happened to that game?

Its called EVE online
