FFXI Interview August

2-3 Ancient Beastmen coins a kill. Now everyone is happy.

We need to add ways to USE them. Limbus adds enough beatcoins.

Oh and 2-3 for an ix or a tier 1, 8-10 for a tier 2, 10-15 for love would be better.

[BRP]

Max, there can only be 10 items in a pool at once.

And there is A LOT of uses for them already... 15(soon to be 18)x5 armor pieces + 10 or so other pieces.

Forgot about that...maybe drop coinsacks or 10 piece coins. And though there are a lot, the AF+1 is limited by other item drops and by now many lses doing limbus have all the coins they ever need for those. The earrings\capes are good but people have them.

Joe(or maxx is it?) i would really like to see you put a pic of a Platypus in your sig, please?

[BRP]

10-15 coins a god? Cool, yeah, that'll keep the RMT out.

Max, you are not allowed to be in BG's "fantasy game designer club".

Its still not even close to sky god profit.

[MisterBob]

Would be awesome if they made Jailer organs... you take a Jailer Organ and some shitty matertial, like a scorpion claw, and get a V. claw from In the Name of Science. Maybe Jailer belts too...

I was really close to post this, but I realized 1 sec after we would see gilseller with deed in their bazaar, or 1st virtue.

Honestly, I can live without money drops in sea because it will keep the vast majority of gil farmers out. But that means that the designers have to compensate by having the drop rate increased and adding in new EX gear drops too. Like add in a few new items like "Prudence Slops 75 WHM/BLM/RDM/other jobs INT+10 AGI-10 Magic Attack Bonus +5%" or "Justice Mail 75 WAR/RDM/THF/PLD/other jobs STR+10 MND-10 Attack+10". Give each Jailer a unique piece of gear that increases its stat and decreases its trumped stat.

You're hired!

That is a pretty damn good idea. I like Sea now, but it could definitely use a few more items, especially on Tier 2 Jailers. Also, armor in MMOs should always have -stats of some kind, to allow for greater customization and equipment variety.

Doesnt add variety, it just clog your inventory with macro swap gear.

Nah, when designed right it doesn't become your typical macro gear. If set up correctly, SE could design different sets of gear that would be more useful in different situations. To an extent, this is already the case. For example, when fighting Jorm as a BLM, I tend to load out on -enmity instead of +ele or +damage. A PLD/NIN will use a considerably different gear setup than a PLD/WAR as well. When done well, it won't be macro gear, but instead different sets that you keep in your MH for different types of gameplay.

[Kaylia]

Your pld/nin will change gear when Jorm is flying/walking.

If you want to make set of gear you don't swap, they would need to cover every task your job is doing in one fight. You would end up with gear you equip all the time, because if they cover every aspect better.


Every BLM you see will rest in errant, than stand up and nuke with weskit, followed by an AF1 enfeebling. That's not diversity.

Of course the PLD/NIN will change gear like that. However, you didn't read all of what I said. A PLD/NIN will be using a largely different gear setup than a PLD/WAR, for example.

[Siatdiat]

I stopped paying attention when you said you were in for damage on jorm and wearing -enmity.

[Kaylia]

Of course the PLD/NIN will change gear like that. However, you didn't read all of what I said. A PLD/NIN will be using a largely different gear setup than a PLD/WAR, for example.

Every pld/nin would use the same freaking gear setup, same with pld/war. Only time there is difference if when 2 gears do the exact same thing for the same situation.




What you said:

Also, armor in MMOs should always have -stats of some kind, to allow for greater customization and equipment variety.

Give me an example of the kind of gear you want that would not end up being a macro gear or over used in all situation.

The only thing I can think off atm are elemental resist gear used to fight certain NM, but it still fall in the category of "situational/macro item that clog your inventory"

I'm going to make a political statement.

Rajas Ring, o snap!

[epigram]

Sniper +1 > rajas for meat, next.

[MisterBob]

Where did I say I was in for damage on Jorm?

You still haven't read it. PLD/NINs and PLD/WARs use gear DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER. PLD/NINs focus heavily on haste, enmity, and MP setups, while PLD/WAR will ditch the haste for increased HP.

Rajas Ring, o snap!

His point was:

to allow for greater customization and equipment variety.

When 1/3% of the end game equip the same ring, I wouldn't call it "variety" or customization, you just wear it 100% of the time.

Ninja with suppanonimi and ninja without suppanonimi isnt really variety either, the system just forced them to pick one of many situational gear.

[epigram]

I really wish they extended the Byrnie line to 70ish like they did with Hauberk, It would be nice to have +5 str +5 vit +30 attack or something similar, with that and maybe some +7 -to- +10 attack rings maybe sushi might be a bit more desirable.

[Siatdiat]

I stopped paying attention when you said you were in for damage on jorm and wearing -enmity.

Where did I say I was in for damage on Jorm?

Well, explain to me what other purpose there is in using a -enmity set up on jorm for blm. I guess to make the other blms manaburning bombs and eles die first? lol
