[PaccO]

KO23L: Tak to proste je uz FF 11 byla placena a to to vyslo na PS2(Xbox,PC) :) Toto je hra od Squere-Enixu kdyby byla od Sony MOZNA by byla zdarma bo jak pises platil bys za predmety apod. ale u klasickych jako je Lineage,Aion WoW (nepocitam free mega zabugovane servry) tam to proste snad ani nejde strasne by prodelavali.Navic je pravda ze kdyz JA jdu na pivo tak bych si mohl predplatit za ty prachy na 3 mesice dopredu (ze SHITE :)) takhle usetrim protoze si dlouho jinou hru nekoupim pac kdyz uz ji budu platit tak se ji budu venovat na 100% coz u MMORPG snad ani jinak nejde :) Vim ze pro konzolisty jsou mesicni poplatky trnem v prd....ale nenadelas nic podivej se trreba na takovej DC-univerze nechapu jak za takovou SRACKU muzou chtit stejnej poplatek jak za FF14 xDDDD

Tak nevím, ale můj zájem o FFXIV se právě dost propadl. Tak trochu doufám, že se jedná o vtip, ale bohužel, asi ne.

Balancing Character Growth in Beta 3

Once again, we would like to thank you all for your participation and support during the Closed Beta. We will continue to take your valuable feedback into consideration as we develop the game during Open Beta and even beyond the official release.

Now I would like to take a moment to respond to the many questions and opinions regarding the manner in and rates at which experience and skill points are obtained in Beta 3.

Firstly, the concept for FINAL FANTASY XIV was to design a system of character progression that offers meaningful advancement for those with limited time to dedicate to playing. We did not want to create a game that forced people to play for hours on end to see their efforts rewarded. To that end, in addition to the Guardian's Aspect and guildleve systems, we introduced a means of apportioning swifter advancement to shorter periods of play.

In order to achieve this balance, we calculated a value for the amount of skill or experience points that could be earned in a one-hour period. This theoretical value represents an hour spent engaged solely in combat, levequests, or any other activities that earn skill or experience points, and sets a threshold delimiting how many of these points can be earned in a period of play.

Based on this, we have implemented a “threshold value” concept. These thresholds are regulated by a one-week timer that begins counting down the instant you earn skill/experience points. After a week has passed, the thresholds will reset, and the moment skill/experience points are earned again, the timer begins counting down anew.

For the first eight thresholds during this week-long period, players will receive skill/experience points at the maximum rate possible. The actual amount of time spent reaching these thresholds is not significant. That is to say, a player who exceeds eight hours of gameplay will still be rewarded the maximum amount of skill/experience points, so long as the total amount earned is below the eighth threshold value. For the subsequent seven thresholds, players will earn skill/experience points at a gradually decreasing rate, eventually reaching a rate of zero.

It is worth noting, however, that the reduced rate will also gradually recover while players are engaged in activities that do not yield skill/experience points. In this manner, it is possible for the threshold value to reset completely, even before the completion of the one-week timer.

Any skill points earned in excess of the threshold maximum—that is, at a rate of zero—will be stored as "bonus skill points." These are specific to each class, so players limited to earning bonus skill points still have the freedom to change classes and begin earning skill points again at the maximum rate, allowing their reduced skill rates to recover in the meantime.

The experience point threshold, however, is unrelated to class, and switching classes will have no effect on the decreasing rate of earnable experience.

This is how the progression system currently works.

This system was not introduced in Beta 3, but has been in place since the beginning of beta testing. There are several reasons why many people believe that these features were only recently implemented:

- Leading into Beta 3, operation hours were extended, making it possible to play more often during the span of a week.

- To encourage players to form guidleve parties in Beta 3, skill and experience point rewards for guildleves were significantly increased.

- The process that reduced the amount of skill/experience points awarded for weak enemies attacking in groups was unintentionally removed at the start of Beta 3. (This issue has been addressed.)

That last reason in particular was the biggest cause for players running up against the threshold penalty, with characters earning far more skill/experience points than we anticipated. We also faced an issue where we were simultaneously unable to adjust the amount earned for guildleves as well as the effects of crossing each threshold.

We sincerely apologize for the lack of explanation and our failure to make the necessary adjustments in the game.

The threshold values are being reexamined, and we plan to further adjust the different rates of earnable points based on feedback from our testers. One of the top issues we are looking at right now is fixing the excessively rapid drop after crossing the eighth threshold. We also plan to improve experience point reduction rates, even more so than for skill points, considering the threshold is unaffected when changing class.

At the very least, we can promise that players won't be running into the threshold penalty in the same short time span as they did in the beginning of Beta 3.

We would like to take this opportunity to also explain the following issues.

The diminishing results experienced during gathering are a function related to that class alone, and have no connection to this progression system. We are in the process of adjusting this system, and plan to make changes based on tester feedback.

We are currently in the process of considering the means in which bonus skill points can be used. There have been suggestions for various types of incentives, but as encouraging people to play with that in mind defeats the purpose of this threshold system, we will be examining this issue very carefully.

These are not the only adjustments we have planned for Open Beta. As mentioned previously, we are looking into increasing the amount of skill points earned when fighting in a party, and we look forward to seeing your input on these changes.

Last of all, I would like to apologize for the delay in releasing a developer's comment due to my recent attendance to Gamescom. The article based on my interview during that trip, coupled with conjecture, outdated information, and some misunderstandings on overseas websites, only added to the confusion. In the future, I hope to avoid similar problems by responding directly through official developer's comments as often as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

See you in the Open Beta Testing!

FUCK THIS GAME !!! Jako platit ze hru a levelovat pouze 15 hodin TYDNE tudiz vlastne ji vlastne hrat.Porad je to RPG kde podle me je hlavni napln grindeni a qestovani za ucelem level postupu.Tak si myslim,ze ju ani nemusej vydavat :) :) Ve SQUERU se docista zblaznily

[KO23L]

Koukam ... podivne smysleni u Square Enixu :D .... Nechaji si za hru platit mesicni poplatky a nenechaji lidi aby si za sve penize uzili zabavy dle libosti .... navic to ze si clovek muze vyexpit s jednou postavou libovolnou classu na max akorat snizuje moznosti vyvoje postavy (jako ze bude daleko mensi pocet variant buildu pro char ... oproti treba WKC kde si clovek musi sam zvolit do ceho ty bodiky ktere ma k dispozici nacpe ... a muze je po vuli davat do vsech stromu)

[PaccO]

Tahle hra me naprosto prestala zajmat a verim ze drtivou vetsinu hracu opravdu nechapu tenhle krok.Sem zvedavej s jakou pohadkou prijdou,aby to vysvetlily.

[Nanaki]

Vysvětlují to tím, že v reálu se unavíš také. To sice pravda je, ale já například hraju hry proto, abych z té reality občas unikl. Nic se nemá přehánět.

Prostě nepochopím, že když si platím hru a ne nijak levně (nechci rozpoutávat debatu o výši poplatků, ale je fakt, že za roky se to nastřádá), tak bych chtěl hrát, jak já chci, ne jak mi někdo řekne.

Tohle je IMO velice špatný nápad.

[Marwa]

Tady tenhle krok jsem taky moc nepochopil, spíš bych počkal jak to ve skutečnosti vlastně bude. U WoW je tohle vyřešené líp - nehraješ, máš rested = 2x XP za kill... Snad se nad tím ještě zamyslí!

[Nanaki]

Ano, to bych také pochopil. Ještě bych pochopil, kdyby se XP snižovaly, ale zůstaly na nějaké hodnotě, ale na nulu.

[shit]

a co rikate na tohle?:)

[Nanaki]

Pěkné vysvětlení, ale pořád to nezměnilo můj názor, že to celé je na prd. Proč bych měl expit povolání, která já nechci? Jasně, dal bych si něco jiného kvůli skillům, abych mohl kombinovat, ale aby mě někdo nutil, abych hrál něco jiného, protože nemůžu svůj oblíbený class...

FF14 sem hral v bete. Neuveritelna sracka co nesaha FF13 ani po kotniky. Debilni ovladani, horsi grafika a celkove jako MMO spatnej vtip. SE nepochopili ze nemuzou vzit starou FF11 a jen zmenit grafiku.

[rodier]

Tahle hra me naprosto prestala zajmat a verim ze drtivou vetsinu hracu opravdu nechapu tenhle krok.Sem zvedavej s jakou pohadkou prijdou,aby to vysvetlily.

Vysvetleni je jednoduche. Oni vedi ze nemaji dostatek obsahu pro hrace kteri hraji hodne. Pro ty, kteri to do mesice dohrai na mx level a potom budou rvat jeee tahle hra nema dostatek obsahu, dungu a raidu. Tak si to touhle prasanou pojistili (misto aby radeji najali vic lidi a udelali vic obsahu)

[shit]

[Marwa]

[Nanaki]

No, pokud je XIV horší než XIII, tak potěš koště. XIII byla pěkná #$%#%$

No, uvidímě, co bude, začít hrát se dá vždy. zatím asi zůstanu u jiné MMORPG.

[shit]

Uz mam par dni hrani za sebou. Hraju za Hyur female, discipline of WAR a zakladni class Pugulist(hand to hand). Beham tam s dalsima 2 cechama (doufam ze po 30.9. jich jeste spousta pribyde). Hra me fakt bavi a za tech par dni sem zatim nejake omezeni nepocitil. Pug stridam s Botanistou (sekani stromu a travy) as Minerem(mlaceni sutru ze skal) Jeste sem si koupil prut na ryby , sekeru a kopi.

Kdyz na to prijde tak SE mohly udelat ze by za moby bylo min bodu a bez limitu a vyslo by to vpodstate nastejno :) Kazdopadne ten kdo hru nehral tak na to muze nadavat jak chce ale stejne "nevi o cem mluvi" :) s XIII se to srovnavat neda...XIV je uplne jina kategorie.Nevim co bys musel mit za pc aby ti v grafice XIII mohlo behat tolik lidi jako v XIV.vic uz toho psat nebudu...nemam cas...musim hrat :D

[shit]
