| Hello! As battle frequency is becoming faster, we recognize that there is not enough time to take a knee and rest like before. With that said, we feel that it’s about time to make some adjustments to /heal. While this is somewhat low in priority, the Development Team will be looking into this when they have the opportunity. | ||||

[Dev] Resting Adjustments
[Dev] Resting Adjustments
Just give passive HP and MP regen outside of combat.
[+]
Would be nice if they made the initial tick a static 10 seconds instead of 20 seconds. Hell, would be nice if they reduced it down to 5 seconds even and give hMP some relevance again. I remember being a bit bummed out when they changed Healer's Roll from hMP (though probably for the best based on current content mechanics) to Cure Potency received. But hMP was a godsend for back in the day; and I'm sure if we simply got over this temp item circle jerk and with /heal adjustments it would be well worth using again.
Actually this would be ideal. Auto-regen and Auto-refresh can just be an additional tick or greater potency than the norm.

like every other game out there. At least regain HP outside of combat.

Thinking something much more potent than that. Slightly more powerful than the current /heal without such a large delay.

While you're at it Camate how bout adding quicken to this since you have to /heal anyway to get it!

As obvious as this fix sounds, SE would never do that in lieu of making /heal "useless." They'll probably shorten the ticks inbetween while healing, if anything.

They could just have combat mode active while you have a monster claimed to you/your group within range, similar to how battle music functions.

This, or, increase the rate it "ramps up," or, even start at a base value - so the first tick is like 50 or 100 and it goes from there.

Why not just give us all perma-brew effect at all times?

Reduce weakness effect over time when /heal.
A nice idea i would agree with.
Although it would be cool to get rid of a command that takes minimal use; unfortunately, i dont see SE dismissing it all together being that they would have to change the VNM spawning system. And since they're busy w/ other sh*t, chances are if they did do away w/ it, probably wont happen til 2015~.
/cheers
Some form of buff gained based off how long you spend resting could be interesting... as they said there isn't much chance to use it during combat so some way for it to give you a boost at the start makes the most sense to me, perhaps some additional regen/refresh/regain capping out at a set potency/duration.

Or unique Regen/Refresh while resting.
Shiva.Dourid said: »
Only flaw, though, is that it might take away the unique traits certain jobs get, namely whm, who can actually merit regen.
On a side note, I think the idea of meriting Auto-Regen and Auto-Refresh would be a really nice idea. They could lump it with "Others" or with "HP/MP".

we dont need any Hp or Mp regen mages can get enough Gear to get a boost on /heal or for a Idle set
Todays FFXI players is to stupid to make a resting set so they have to make even the simple things simpler for todays lazy useless player base.
[+]
Am I the only person who thinks we don't need auto regen/refresh while disengaged? We already have a wealth of regen items to idle in, and the state of the game atm means most players do have idle sets. Shortening weakness is an interesting idea, but it may be difficult to implement without stealing arise(which is still 20m+ in general)'s awesomeness or becoming unbalanced.
I just want 99 active inventory spaces.
(At least.)

lol @ the three posts above Urteil. We have very limited inventory space and if that's not true for you then chances are you're probably not gearing for the important things like TP set, WS set, Casting set, Eva, PDT, MDT etc etc. I'd bring all of those before I consider making a regen set. It's not that gear regen is useless, it's just not the top priority.

If its anything thats short like fodder mobs, dyna, salvage or old limbus you dont need all your sets then you can make some room for idle gear. These days there are a pdt/mdt gear with regen/refresh on them. I normally sit at 73/80 then keep misc stuff in sack like food tools meds and w/e. It would be nice if they let us equip gear thats in our sacks but you know they would rather nerf or change useless stuff.

That's as inane as the "Why don't they just mail people free relics?" nonsense people post every so often.

That makes way too much sense and is far too simple. SE can't work like that. They have to come up with something needlessly complex, convoluted, and kludgey. They'll probably make us face different directions for different resting bonuses. Face N to improve MP recovery at the expense of HP recovery. Face S for the opposite. Or maybe they'll make us carry around lounge chairs or sleeping bags for improved resting.

You gotta understand that they are internet badasses. They are awesome and the rest of us are not. Improving resting just makes things easier for those who don't even deserve to be playing the same game as them.
Wait so hmp sets are not standard anymore?
I know I am lacking on some of my sets, but hmp is always a priority for me

Just be prepared for whatever changes are made to eventually be nerfed, as SE doesn't likely think things through very well and ends up nerfing everything they do anyway. Human beings will always seek the laziest path and way to exploit all systems. It is hilarious to me that SE gets butthurt about this and schedules emergency maintenance. /heal? Why even f'ing bother, imo.
On a brighter note, Thursday is the new Friday for all those players out there that do things other than MMOs, /cheers!
