Cap was at 75, but you still put experience into merit points. Then when it increased to 99, you could unlock special abilities and upgrades to those abilities with capacity points.

It would be perfectly possible for them to add a story skip later to 6.1, and I think they have deliberately set things to so that that is the obvious point if they ever did it, but I don't know that they ever would. They will need to do a stat squish when the numbers stop fitting again, right? What was the limit last time?

They're doing the stat squish as they go now, only the latest expansion has the big numbers. At least, that's how I understood it but maybe the live letter explained it differently.

That's cool. I wonder how that will change current content at the start of 7.0.

Has the game reached actual silly numbers before the last squish? (in WoW for ex. they waited till players were hitting for millions before squishing)

Mr. Neutron posted:Has the game reached actual silly numbers before the last squish? (in WoW for ex. they waited till players were hitting for millions before squishing) The squish was actually relatively modest. A quick trip to fflogs shows the best players on the higher-damage jobs were doing something like 25k dps at level 80 pre-squish, and now it's about 14k dps at level 90 post-squish e: or is there something wonky about the reporting, that's not consistent with a 440M HP boss Qwertycoatl fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Depends on what you'd consider silly numbers. The highest HP value a boss had in 5.5 was 440,000,000 HP. But the reason they stat squished was because they were starting to get overflow bugs, flying text was getting too lengthy, and they were pretty much at the limit of the Tank enmity formula working at all.

Yeah my understanding was that the limitation was in data packets only having room for 32 bits, so I guess it would be when numbers start to hit 2.1 million that it becomes an issue? Though that still seems pretty high.

Mainwaring posted:I don't think this is true, there's been no indication of any stat squish with Dawntrail. Unless they've changed their minds, that was their plan going forward after doing the first stat squish. Basically, the stats given by each ilvl in the current expansion will be squished when the next comes out, as a kind of invisible process in the background so they don't have to do a big visible squish every X expansions. Of course, they could have changed their minds and are doing something different. Hogama posted:Depends on what you'd consider silly numbers. The highest HP value a boss had in 5.5 was 440,000,000 HP. And yeah, numbers were getting big, but they had ways around that they could have taken if they wanted. The reason they had to do the squish was tank enmity was getting dangerously close to breaking, and not in a fun way.

Has a group ever made enmity overflow on purpose to see what happens? It should be possible even post-squish by having eight tanks go in against a non-threatening boss and provoke/shirk in a circle for the entire fight

You think I don’t know this. You think that some games letting you go past 9999 stops it from being iconic as the damage cap.

It would be cheeky of them if you're softcapped at 99 and the MSQ has you get your potential awoken by Guru or something, allowing you to hit 100 (and beyond).

You get capped at 99, but the cutscene before the final boss causes you to break your limits and hit 100. Then you can set your new capstone ability on your hotbar while you wait in the trial queue.

I’m doing new game plus for all the arr stuff because I don’t remember any of it since I played it so long ago and it’s honestly the best possible way to experience the story. Loving just about every moment and even some of the more roundabout fetch quest bs is easy when I can fly there in seconds and one shot all the enemies. At one point I was thinking “hey what happened to all these old scions at the waking sands, why don’t any of them show up in the expansions so it was a genuine shock when the garleans killed them because I had completely forgotten any of the story

I started ng+ for HW part 4 just so I could hear the Japanese VA for Arbert do his line for we did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and i learned that Aymeric stans have their cake whenever they want because the place part 4 drops you off at is right before the date with him

KoB posted:they should do a level squish just because theres so many useless levels between 1 and 50. Only needs to be like 30 levels with the skills decently spaced out. Yeah, they should have had ARR cap at 30, then add 10 levels per expansion. Level Cap would match Expansion Number. So 7.0 Dawntrail would have a level cap of 70. Too late now, though.

OK, so Paladin gets to keep Gauge when zoning and even logging out, but the other 3 lose theirs? That's just wrong. Either nerf Paladin or buff the other 3.

I think it's moreso that Paladin just starts with gauge at baseline, for whatever reason.

Paladin's gauge is just tied to defense cooldowns. There's no reason to compare them.
