New Level Cap 99?

It is official. It was posted on the PlayOnline site. Are you living in a hole? lol

always love it, when ppl start to panic and Q.Q when SE is trying to give us something new. ppl always think they HAVE to do something. you CAN play the game. and you CAN play the game the way you like. dont have to play it in a specific order. of course IF you want something special like af3, you have to do something for it. but you know: its the same case like for af 1 + 2. if you want some, you gotta work for it. if you dont want it, who cares?

I think this would work nicely becouse at 99 your bound to have 1300+ hp depending on mage so thats 650mp every 10 min from sj

Then you mean confirmed, not official. Unofficial would mean it's not SE saying they're gonna do it. Hence...

SCH WILL BE ASKED FOR IN PARTIES../dance4

My mistake for 6:31 am /facepalm

yay! astral burn increase....





bleh

Lol srsly guys level 99? The source of this info is a twitter page... You would have to be a total idiot to believe that, why would SE wait until now to increase to lvl 99, and why would they implement such a huge level jump, it would screw up the entire game mechanics, make several jobs and many endgame weapons/items completely obsolete. You can't just *** a game up like that when its so finely balanced (not that FF is finely balanced anymore with SAM and SMN being made more powerful than most jobs put together). Imagine all those people who spent years workin up to relics and endgame gear being told it was a waste of time, surely SE are not that stupid.

ha ha ha

is official man....true...really

I know this is late, but that is so *** epic.

idk, maybe lvl 75 on FFXI-wotg areas and only 76-99 on new (HNM-engame) areas

Blarghlarghlarghlargh some of this is creepy, some of it is nice, but I guess we'll see what comes of it. O|¯|_

o.o

That's what I'm hoping.

Hey, how much does a normal server hopc ost?

Sleep deprivation & anger leads to strange things.

What I don't get is why they are taking such a huge risk that will potentially lose them 1000s of players by making people pay for each level cap, when they have FF14 just around the corner...

I loved what one person on here said "Welcome to the World of Final Fantasy Craft"...Rotflmao.

I did a little unofficial poll amoung people I know who play or have played both FFXI and WoW.

We all know WoW has about 4 to 5 times the player base of FFXI. So, SE is trying to figure out how they can tap into all those monthly fees they are currently not getting. (for the record, I have tried WoW and came back to FFXI)

Here is what I gathered in a nutshell. People prefer the jobs system of FFXI over the single Jobs of WoW. People prefer the fact you dont lose xp in WoW when you die. People also seem to like that money is easier to get in Wow and lastly, folks seemed to like that WoW can be soloed, parties an option not a necessity.

For what it's worth, thats what always seemed to be the issues/preferences.

Rather than tanking a solid game system, why not take a few clues rather than a total overhaul.

I'll will keep on playing regardless of what they do.

So, I was pondering the effects of this update.
I wondered, will it break the game?
Does this actually give me something to do now?
I was almost ready to quit
I had everything I wanted
Will this give me a reason to stay
Then
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said "Fresh", and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought man forget it yo homes to Bel-Air

for me i don't have bad, but, seriusly the new players (yea ffxi still have new players) work for get decent job 75, and on lvl 50 say "yay finally 25 lvl for my first 75!" and noe SE say "no kid you are on half way and no forget the subjobs" (insert troll face)

if lvl are 1-75 for pre-wotg areas and 76-99 for new areas or engame i dont care

Do I:

a) Continue playing as a I currently (mostly EG, a little meriting not much else)

b) Jack in all my EG groups and start leveling my subs to 50

c) Quit as its all to much BS for me to care about

I know WoW goes through this process once every year or so, but that's a very different game. They don't have to deal with subjobs.

Also WTF is SE gonna do abou the EG? We have a whole bunch of events that are going to become worthless over night. Again this is fine for WoW, they have a large enough player base to afford developing a whole new EG every few years. FFXI doesn't... They are announcing this at the same time as mergers. So I can't see them ever developing enough EG content to keep any one @ lvl 99 happy for very long.

On the face of it, it seems to be an attempt to rejuvenate the game, but the more I look at it, the more I think it is a killing blow as they simply won't develop the game enough (Low populations and FFXIV taking dev team) to make it work.

Playonline.com then go to the Vanadiel fest page, its official, they announced it and showed pics :P

For all of you lost souls who risked/banned your lives playing FFXI for the Salvage dupe, render this gear now obsolete and smack yourselves in the head. <3

On the one hand I kind of see where SE is coming from. If their making me pay for level caps then *** this >.> But I really doubt will have to pay..will we? >_>

I dunno if it's been mentioned before or not...
But fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck more leveling

I will quit if they raise the cap

my guess is that they make the new parallel land of abyessea a lvl76-99 only and anything WoTG or prior is capped at lvl 75. i dont think they going to let us use our lvl 99 characters in current areas thus the cap at 75 for current areas, or else every lvl 99 would go solo charby and everyone would have joytoy <.<

Soooo... If our traits upgrade with our levels, we might see some interesting new playing styles...

1 Hit build anyone?

and why dont just continue with the game like you allrdy did without lvling? just an idea

This, I hope

for SE "the biggest engame event and we can got money from this"
