[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Siiri]

Discussion kind of lost focus in the emp weapon stuff. I think most of us agree that these weaponskills should be better than the lvl 60 weapon skills, and it is very sad that most are not. Also, regardless of where SAM currently falls on the food chain of DDs, it has been consistently a favorite of the developers, and many people are kind of mad once again they are one of the only jobs that got a good weaponskill.

This is my sentiments exactly. These WS are not only level 96, but require a large amount of merit points to upgrade them to their fullest potential. In my opinion, they are supposed to represent mastery over a weapon. To make them equal or in some cases lower in power to WS learned over 30 levels ago is a joke and a slap in the face. I'm honestly getting of the Devs using "Balance!" as an excuse for implementing poor gameplay mechanics that continuously receive negative feedback from the playerbase.

This is not even close to balance. Like many others, I'm starting to lose faith that SE will ever listen. The playerbase wants these new WS to be regularly usable and moderately strong for the jobs that can use them. I seriously doubt anyone is looking forward to spending 100 merits on situational toys that may be used rarely for their favorite jobs. I know I'm not.

Anyone know if this update went live on the test server yet so I can see how much they hate white mage melees everywhere? Or we just gonna have to wait and be surprised when it goes live on the main servers?

Google translate is ALWAYS a hackjob. Seriously, where are our bilinguals who can accurately translate all the stuff we're saying? I know there are some around here somewhere...

lol well when the "bilinguals" open a thread on these forums for us Google Translate dependents to have our thoughts quickly and accurately translated to help the Com. Reps out, let me know! Google Translate is a major pain in the neck, but realistically, one can only hope the Devs are at least a tiny bit partial to us attempting to self translate lol... I would hope...

I honestly feel bad for the Com. Reps on Monday mornings after what... 10-20 pages of Text Wall-to-Text Wall post of feedback to translate to the Devs. Google Translate sux crackers, but I can imagine the Com. Reps get a laugh out of it at least

I can think of 4 off the top of my head. They're pretty easy to spot, they have funny moogle avatars and all of their posts show up in blue.

Don't worry. I highly doubt this is an issue of our feedback not being sent to the Devs in their language. Them hearing us and them listening to us are two completely different things.

I mostly just meant so that people stop posting google-translated nonsense and thinking they were helping at all

I know. I was addressing them as well, lol.

When I put a recent post by Mocchi into Google translate, it transformed some text about Blue Mage and clubs into something else entirely.

The translated post began with a bit of none-too-subtle innuendo about how Blue Mages were lonely for want of proper poles, briefly approached making sense by referencing Trials of Magians and White Mage-only poles (but mentioned neither by name), had a lengthy bit of vague jibberish in the middle, and closed by implying people are annoying.

I suspect the vague jibberish in the middle was accurate in spirit if not in letter, but you get the idea. I will say that Google Translate is much better now than when it first began, only because it is no longer obsessed with fish.

Supposedly on JP forums SE has stated they will be weakening Ruinator to be equal to rampage with 2-3 crits (same for Realmrazer compared to Hexa Strike), they want Rdms and Blus to use Requiescat but not Plds (so keeping the attack penalty), and they want Shijin to be weaker than Stringing Pummel.

Well, thanks a lot for that then.
