[dev1049] New weapon skills

[FrankReynolds]

It clearly shows that the animator of the WS put alot of detail into his craft only to have it immediately become worthless as many of these skills will never see the day of light thanks to his team leaders poor decision making.

There is a video on the SE youtube feed where they show how animations and cut scenes are made. It is really stupid how much time they must have spent making this bullshit.

My personal theory is that they changed design team members when Tanaka came back to FFXI. All the guys that designed Abyssea and the 80~95 level upgrades have been moved over to FFXIV to try to remake it and salvage that mess. They took the people who destroyed FFXIV and put them in charge of doing FFXI. Can't really fire them and need them to do something productive, so here we are. Their doing the same thing to FFIX that they did to FFXIV from it's birth, refuse to listen to the players and just do whatever they see fit to force us to play the way they want us to play. They keep this up and it'll be two games that Tanaka and crew destroyed.

People want new weaponskills that are worth using. Especially if you're going to make us use 100 merit points just to get them to decent. Make these weaponskills worth using, and then if you want us to have other options with other weaponskills, adjust them to be more on par with the level 99 and weapon specific skills. Also make them do level 3 skillchains for crying out loud. Sheesh.

If you can't do that because of "balance", then just drop the merit requirement altogether. Even the people desperate for new content would look at this and think it's not worth their time.

If you want to add balance with previous WS's allow us to boost our other ws's through merits.

Yup another bonfire - and we become the casualties, the players.... Perhaps another public shaming is needed - seemed the one he got last year did not quite works. If you compared the "tone and voice" of the letter from the developers of FFXI and FF14, you will see a massive big difference. And, oooops, we never really got a letter from the developers from FFXI - lol, just to show you that THIS particular group do not care about the paying subscribers, they never do, and they ignore all of our feedbacks and rants. Even if we cancel, they would not do anything, unless the CEO gives them a good spanking. Otherwise business as usual - ignore forum and player base and pretend that the level cap is still 75.

Lets all stand in jeuno at a certain set time and all do the /disgust emote at once . yay.

[Doombringer]

has anybody thought to point out that refresh2 is better than refresh? why was refresh2 not balanced so as to prevent refresh from becoming obsolete? comon' se.. a little consistency here?

or any other spell with a number after it's name for that matter.. when's the last time YOU cast dia? i think for me it was about 6 years ago.. se.. this is a travesty.. dia is dramatically underpowered... how dare you?!

SE I think you're doing it right and lazy people just want hand outs. Don't listen to the haters :-)

[Kalilla]

no my argument is if you want a better weapon skill get an empyrean.

Not even caught up to the bottom of the page but are you really that stupid?

Some people are so dense that they think their job is the only job in the game, and their empyrean is the only empyrean that matters in the game.

Have you heard of Gambanteinn? Do you even know what Dagan does?

Complete. Moron.

100,000 merits is a handout and lazy to do? *3 sure exp is easier to get, but that still takes time and is not lazy. No, Se is not doing it right, they haven't been doing much right in a while.
