Why Will S.E Not Uncap Merits

for (exp)
<mp merit 8/8 and hp merit 8/8>
or
Str 5/5
int 5/5
chr 5/5
dex 5/5
agi 5/5

give there {OPINION}!!!! <----- KEY WORD I'm not saying thay should!!

Game balance.

Because otherwise you could give yourself insane STR / HP /MP etc..

Not full uncap them but, so you can cap then like 8/8 on mp and 8/8 on hp

I could see uncapping the merits in job sections... But, they'll never uncap the melee/magic/stat/etc. sections.

Because SE loves making our lives miserable.

But whit the number of ppl that have more then 8 jobs at 75, you would think thay will consider it.

Because there's no such thing as a crm stat. There should be though, mmmm crm...

They need to raise Combat and Magic and that is it.

20 Combat merit's for 20 jobs, 16 Magic merits for 12 Magic slots(In merits)

Cuz that makes sense right?

Especially w/ the 8 Cap of offensive Combat's, I can only max 2 Weapons? ; ; AT MINIMUM it should be 24 Combat and 20 Magic, 28 Combat 22-24 Magic would be very nice, 32 Combat 26-28 Magic would just be *** amazing.

Thank you for pointing that out i fix it chr

SE knows you *** touch yourselves way too much

Being able to do 8/8 MP and 8/8 HP or 5/5 every stat is stupid imo because there is no originality or suiting to your own job, there is 1 way to do it, max it, no choice to make. They can't let you do that.
I think Hp/MP is perfect, I just wish that HP was worth like 20 each merit would be awesome, for Base stats, well, maybe they maxe is 7 cap but even that isn't truly needed.

Have at it

Capped Counter Effect is fun :)

I allready did this


i do this all the time i just dont think thay undersand me lol

I present an alternate theory:

They

Don't

Care

!

This.

One of the most unique things about FFXI is the job system, and how you can change your job at any time. But then the merit system kills this (just a little).

As a career blu, I'm now levelling rdm and blm, and it's impossible for me to merit either of those to their full potential without unmeriting blu.

edit: now, not not <_<

You should be able to litterally cap every merit on any category but then just pick up to cap for certain jobs when you wanna use them..

Ex. cap 5/5 Str 5/5 int I would physically have to merit to cap all that but when I am on sam I can pick Str and then when I hop onto blm I can then change them over to int. when I see fit.

Still keeps the merit cap per job there but then you can have better merits for all your 75's.

Yeah, I've wondered this for a while now. I would personally like to cap GK, polearm, sword, axe, GA, evasion, parrying, and shield... Thats what, 52 merits? I think we can only do 20. lol I'll probably end up finishing GK, Sword and either parrying or evasion. :/

That would be amazing for SAM, PLD and WAR..

I would love to cap STR, DEX and VIT as well.

They do it so you can't have everyone perfect at every job. They'd prefer to keep a mix of players that are good at different things (In theory, but everyone merits the same stuff anyway.)

yay +4emn
yay -4emn

job wise, i think its alright, unless you get a job that has a gazillion merit options and just 10 points to distribute (nin/rdm?) maybe raise the cap by 2 or so?

as for magic/combat, why not get a +1 or +2 merit cap for every job +75 ?


heh, maybe we will get uncapped merits like a week before FF14 comes out =P

but yeah, i know we could use more, but it will break the system, and heck, people are just too greedy and want more, no other option than to adapt ^-^

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to level 2 jobs to 75 and be able to merit them both fully.

Combat and Magic skills should be increased so 3 jobs can have maxed merits on them.

28 Combat merits = 3 weapons skilled up and 1 Shield/Parrying/Evasion/Guard skilled up.

24 Magic merits = 3 jobs (or 2 jobs) (hell, 1 super BRD, since they need Wind/String/Singing magic skill, and they are the ONLY job that uses all 3) with 8/8 merits.

Having 8/8 HP/MP wouldn't break the game, but it would create an unbalanced one. Imagine a BLM with 1k HP.....scary. They would start tanking more often -.-

2 stat skills 5/5? Who would level them outside of STR/INT anyway (except the rare THF only player who would do DEX/AGI)?

Job specific spells? I would LOVE to be 5/5 Freeze/Burst II and have the other 4 AMII spells too... And maybe have 5/5 Fire potency while I'm at it.

They should, however, make a Level 3 Job Abilities and make them powerful, but require 3/6/9/9/9 merits on them to maximize it to its full potential. Just 1 JA that would make it super.

I hate SE to be honest.
Everything in the game is so damn annoying.
<--Off topic yes.
But back to the point, you would be way to over powered.

To be overpowered : Only a select few can, and only can, become more powerful than most.

Nobody would be overpowered, because we all have the ability to become the best players on the game. Only factor that is different is ability.

No matter what SE does, people will want more or want something else. Where they have it at should suffice for now lol.
They could possibly have a great ability u could choose regardless of your job or race specific ability or traits that require and ungodly amount of merits... something like 50-100.
That should keep us quiet and busy for a while lol

But they would have to increase the amount of merits held at once

People like that, are addicted. Need a life, have nothing else to do.
Sorry if anyone here is like that, but theres more to a game then trying to be "overpowerd with a job class in a game"

and whatwould that be. ?
