Do the devs play this game?

[hideka]

Wonder is any Dev team member has DRK unlocked?

if i remember correctly tanaka and/or sundi both had their hands directly in DRK1-75's development, moreso then any other job in the game

Some of the OPs of threads that the devs respond to on these forums seem suspiciously right on the money. Like what are the odds that someone just happened to create a new thread that revolves around something the Developers were JUST about to add or consider? I suspect some of the OPs on those threads are actually the community reps themselves on other accounts, made to setup scenarios and environments for them to respond accurately to. After all if the dev community team plays this game, I'm sure their own input has some weight.

P.S

I hope it wasn't Camate that recommended Gravity II for RDM though. That spell is going to suck if as many NMs are immune to Gravity I are still immune to Gravity II(which is EVERY NM 75+ besides Cirein-Croin and Itzpapalotl.) Gravity I's movement speed reduction is already so amazing and the duration is fine, why bother with Gravity II when RDM could have gotten Haste II, Poison III, Refresh III, and a magic def down enfeeble?

Yes, they are all pimped out and I took many years to do this lol

So you don't have a favourite? :<

Such a hard question...I like all of my jobs. But as I mentioned above, tank roles are probably my favorite.

well not to be an ass, but your hand in development is simply just passing along information from side to side correct?

i would be interested to know if the actual Developers, the people who have their hands Directly on developing this game acutaly have as many Man hours invested in this game like us the players. im over 1700 days played amongst my accounts and ive been an active player since the game launched NA side, how many do they have?

i think it is a valid question to ask how many man hours of testing and balancing is spent on each individual job.
i spend quite a large deal of time on all jobs, and an equal ammount at that, aside from PUP BRD RNG.
some days it really feels like some jobs get looked at for a total of 1% of the total time spent towards job development.

............................................everything inbetween


why am i still having to kill 50+ T1 AVNMs to get a convert?

theres a whole lot more "why" and i think people should speak up more often :/

oh and by no means was this meant to be a " my job needs more ubar-ness, plz halp!!" post. this is just regarding the generaly poor balancing in this game.

Staff Limitations.

Bear in mind that he may not be allowed to get any more specific than he already has been :P Devs wouldn't want him putting a specific job out there as people could theoretically start to perceive things and jump to conclusions that really have no impact on development. It's cool to see as much socializing as Camate does though

Not to mention SCH is getting Aspir II @ 97 and we still don't even have one. What do we have to look forward to: Gain-INT (96), Gain-DEX (99) and Gravity II (98)

I wonder if Camate has ever considered off-tank roles, like using Thief or Samurai as a tank, as opposed to standard Paladin and Ninja (Yes, I threw Sam in there because if properly geared and merited for Seigan it can be an interesting tank in low-man situations).

Literally any job with a PDT/MDT set can tank [insert video of BLM tanking Byakko @75 here]

WHM is particularly amazing on nuke heavy mobs
