Adjustments to Embrava and Perfect Defense

[Vagrua]

we all want things to change. The problem is that, as expected, they nerf PD and embrava and hardly fix content. They didn't realize yeat that people use PD/embrava because content is impossible without, not because they can.

There's different types of change going on lately though. There is no balance for events that rely solely on Embrava and the adjustments they've stated will make the content difficult if not impossible to complete. They're taking away our tools that allow us a chance at all at their Impossible To Gauge content. They refuse to adjust the content itself to remedy the problems. NNI and Legion probably will take the biggest hit. You would have to be extremely lucky just to hit floor 80 after they implement this. I already know of people that won't even attempt NNI after this. Legion is going to be even more difficult also.

Frankly i don't see the point in this. The nerfs don't seem like they are required at all. As already stated,Embrava's primary use was for it's Regain and Haste, and honestly this seems like lopping the arm off of every scholar that's been enjoying their spotlight slots in NNI and Legion runs.

Not like it needs to be restated over and over again...oh wait, i'm on the forums, yes it does! you don't nerf player abilities when you design content that REQUIRES them to be completed.If you honestly must do such a thing, you nerf the content FIRST, then adjust the abilities if they are still showing signs of being overly powerful. Then again i'm talking to a Dev team that though BST would be head-over-heels excited at the prospect of eating their pets for RR, so I don't see alot of hope in them retracting this idea.

At the end of the day though, do I expect any of what I said to be considered? No, I don't. It's been very clear during the years that FF11 has been in existence that our voices only effect the smallest of details in FF11, and the devs do whatever they want. But I take the time to do this for the same reason people say you have no right to complain if you don't vote in an election; I have said my part before all of this is permanent and will have no regrets in the future.

With enough voice, I think we can definitely make them retract their plans. If everybody here tell your friends and ask them to bring in their friends to voice their concerns, we will be a very powerful force to be reckoned with.

Sorry i don't know sch and not gonna talk out my ass like i do.

NO NO NO NO NO

Do not make it required to have 600+ summoning magic, cap is 417 then you add on some merits and gear and like many others said your only in about the 530's and i have decent gear and i'm around the 120 mark with the proper gear. It would be stupid to have a full set of gear for just 1 ability.

Also i've said it in other posts, you take away atomos and threw it into the wind so we don't even know where it is anymore, you took away cait sith stating that he's not complete (Its our first real update for summoner since the last 2 now completely uselss avatars)

Why don't you do something right for a change, how about you start by making odin/alexander regular summons and their 2hr ability would be the ability's of now?

And for all you rdm's who complain about being dead, AT LEAST YOU HAD A MOMENT IN THE SPOT LIGHT. Summoner never did, and chance and i mean anychance (astral parties and alexander) have been met with severe force by SE.

Dear SE,
I am posting in reguards to your recent announcement with the intent this may reach your developement team. I'd like to say one thing very clearly, thru a short narration of my current ffxi life:

I used to play FFxi alot more than I currently do, I imagine I'm among many new and old players that have to balance fantasy and reality accordingly due to responsibilties and desires for personal and pleasurable growth in the real world. My ffxi life is about 2-3 days a week, and odd hours as lately (past few months) my statics have desolved and I am currently unable to restart a neo-nyzil one. I'm 2/15 Neo nyzil gear, and I desire 10+ from those sets. PD and embava were my hopes of attaining clears from einherjar 2 and neo-limbus, legion; all stuff I looked forward to doing in the future. I had plans to make a ls that was more lax than current endgame ls because like I said I have a rl too, and eventrs can be demanding. People who abused (in SE's opinion) the PD and embrava are ALWAYS going to figure a way around the orginal intent SE has for their whathaveyous. My point is, by nerfing you are FUCKING ME and everyone else in similiar boats as myself, your not hurting the ones you are trying to slow down, instead, your CRUSHING THE DREAMS OF MANY in order to stop the few from going too fast pace for your liking.

In other words, in order to slow down some people by nerfing these abilities you are: 1) willingly making other aspects of the game that were looked at by many as "i cant wait till i can do that, that's why i keep playing so i can do that one day" and taking that dream from them AND and the same 2) time pissing off people who didn't get thier chance everytime they see someone in neo gear that was attained via dataswap or embrava or pd pre nerf.

Do us a faVOR, fuck the next festival and get your priorities in order.

I wont be surprised if people quit over this, my foots halfway out the door as it is, this just feels like a push to get my momentum going. Oh, and fyi, i dont give two szhits about the add on, there was plenty i wanted to do in the current game as it stands now. Sure, I'll welcome the expansion, but I'm just saying I was content with most of the bs from SE (they got fov and gov with different abilities like warp which is totally unbalanced, can't even put a fucking 5 icon on my nin shadow icon, i mean the list is huge, cant ws if the mob moves or u lose tp, i mean come on, this shit is a no brainer for those who play but your priorities are in the fucking clouds)

SE's priorities are in perfect order. They are successfully pissing off that vast majority of their playerbase in hopes of herding them away from a project (FFXI) that they'd rather see go to the wayside, and sending them to another game (preferably of their own design). In this regard SE is succeeding quite well, ppl are pissed, ppl are probably gonna quit, and this will bring the game 1 step closer to inevitable demise.

All systems are working as intended, as they say...

[Concerned4FFxi]

This is what SE thinks and I'm going to disagree I think it's an unwise bussiness decision:

SE thinks the top % of gamers/ls are moving thru content too fast, and once they finish they will quit because they will have nothing to do and be bored and leave- this I agree with, it's true in my book.

SE thinks nerfing PD and embrava are going to solve this, but I say, this is not 1990, people's patience have run out, you can't dangle a carrot, feed us the carrot, then take it all away and feed us shit, we just won't come back.

I say, there's more people going to quit after this nerf's been active 3 months + than have quit in quite some time. I believe once people see how bad the nerf is, a few months after its applied, people are going to quit because they just don't have the time for this shit anymore.

You will always have your people who will stay, will get 250 marrows and do after glow, but really how many people are doing that? One ls that I know of in the game on this board are doing afterglow on relics, for just one afterglow sett of 250 marrow you could buy EVERY relic instead. But hey, they are the 1%.

I say SE, let the people who wanna finish the race first GOOOOOOOO, stop trying to hold onto them
Let the rest of us breathe, let them who want to finish first go and stop sitting on my fucking chest, i've been loyal!
