Also posts askings for how to download the patch with w/e client will not be tolerated. If your wondering how to do it, read the last 5pages of the 3rd thread

hey, read the OP

Remember that items are damaged during use, and require some item(s) for repair crafting. That level 99 lance being used at level 1 will still degrade - we don't know at what rate - but if it isn't a bug this seems like an interesting way to let players make the choice between:

-buy a new, low level equip and it takes up inventory space, pay a little for repairs
-use their high level, depowered gear, and pay lots for repairing it

Level 1 Lancer. With a Level 99 Lance. No matter how many ways you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

But don't forget it's stupid to not have it that way despite every RPG in existence has a requirement to equip certain things!

No wonder gaming went to shit ~.~

[roippi]

It's stupid if there's no requirements at all to equip high level stuff.

It's fucking awesome if there are stat requirements.

[Slyth]

lol. guess SE still has alot of work to do to fix the servers. http://ffxivlounge.ning.com/page/fflive-1. Live stream of error screens lol

[Kurokikaze]

Ok lemme put it this way... If its NOT a bug:

Why the fuck would they even have level requirements?

Simple. It's a bug. lol

Edit: Someone get that nub some software to stream...

[Alkar]

So you'd rather have to buy a new set of gear every 5 levels instead of saving space and money (as well as time) and keep a good set all the way?
I find it funny that some still think that being able to use level 10 gear at 1 with gear scaling in power as you level up is a glitch.

it wasn't this way in alpha and it is a bug, everyone get over it... and there is no gear scaling.. I got a body piece that gives +15 dex for job lv5, and it gave me +15 dex at job lv1. obvious bug is obvious

[Hyan]

Don't the skills say "optimal level: X" or something too?

Wouldn't that support the idea that this is indeed not a bug?

[mintyice]

servers definitely down again

If its a bug or not we dont know for sure, but Araelus brings up something interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, but that is dumb to think just because it wasn't like it in the alpha it has to be a bug.

<3 sarcasm.

I don't know about you, but every RPG I played since the 80s in various ways you had to upgrade gear which entailed buying/creating new sets.

It's a bug.

Something rank 9 shouldn't be equippable if you're not rank 9 for example..I mean really people I know most of people want to just play balls to the walls with no restriction but c`mon lol.

They do.

FFXI> Level Sync. Check it out.

it might be a hotfix, or placeholder of some other system they are going to develop further, change lev req, to optimal level, have some gears the better ones) have boosts that need stats to work properly or boost the said option

honestly the prob with current system without some type of change, you ll need a shit load of inventory.

but it could just be a stopgap they added for now, because without crafting leves, it will take longer to level crafts, and the only way to get other gear is to get guild leve rewards, which would leave huge gaps in what you can equip for leveling

[Jinko]

Regions were never ever split, only thing that was divided was the testing time. And Tuesday went flawlessly, I'd wager the issues today stem from a lot of the internal changes they made: server selection ability, ect

Call it what you want we weren't playing together so we were split, I would say there is a lot more people trying to get on today than yesterday and many were still trying to download the client etc.

You are probably right about the server selction process having a big effect on it though.

[Hyan]

Honestly to me it sounds like an interesting system =P

I mean I think it makes sense that you can equip anything, but you don't know how to use it properly yet so there's an "optimum level" to each piece of equipment that unlocks their full capabilities.

And the idea Araelus suggested would make sense too.

[Biggie]

That has nothing to do with anything........


In FFXI you can't equip lvl 50 gear at lvl 20..... You can be lvl 50 with your gear and sync down...... Totally different
