Voidwatch Final Chapter

[SpankWustler]

Every time the ticket system comes up, a scenario plays in my head.

Someone in a nightmarish death camp is asking when the gas chamber will be repaired so that the screaming and pleading won't last for two hours, slowly become more gurgle-like over that time, during each and every morally reprehensible mass execution.

I guess you've got to take what you can get, sometimes.

They will put the ticket system - in 2013, when VW is nothing but an "old" content. In the meantime they will do pretty much very minimal adjustment. It's a cheap way for them to hook the player base and a great way to extend the time sink and grind. This is why they will do very little to adjust Legion or Neo Nyzul or Salvage, Einherjar and the new version of them. They probably regret that they made dynamis way too accessible for everyone, hence you get punished with the last stages for magian trial weapons. They already said they will have to draw the line, meaning don't cross the low drop rate or asking useful items to be included in most popular contents - ain't gonna happen, EVER. No way they will us consume the post abyssea content in a faster rate similar to how fun and easy abyssea contents are.

It's in their best interest to give players the illusion of hope that your next chest will give you that item that you want it the most but alas, no such luck, try again for another 200th round. Just be very glad that most of the new gears are alternative gears with only stats bonus but not much job specific bonuses so it won't replace the AF3+2 and only situational.

Please stop. It is neither endearing nor persuasive anymore. We get it. You loved Abyssea.

Happy Friday everyone!

After looking into everyone’s feedback in regards to Voidwatch weaknesses, we will be proceeding with the below adjustments.

• Red Mage
While there is a concern that red mages would lose the ability to exploit weaknesses that only they can execute, we have decided that there are more concerns with merit point spell limitations, so we will be removing the merit point spells similar to other jobs.

• Ninja
As a majority of feedback we received had no problems with removing San-tier of elemental jutsus, we will also be following through with this.

• Beastmaster
Since there were no real objections to this, we will be proceeding with being able to exploit weaknesses without relying on specific pets/abilities.

• Puppetmaster
It seems like there was a large amount of feedback mentioning that Strobe would be good. However, instead of limiting this to Strobe, we would like to increase the amount of freedom, while still keeping the possibility of selecting Strobe.

The above content will be reflected in the May test server update and will begin with the final chapter for now.

no problem, the Devs have killed RDM anyway.

For the millionth time, when the heck are we going to get some word on Blue Mage getting their trigger spell list cut short to alleviate their downtime during a Voidwatch battle?

Apparently never.

RDM and NIN have there's removed with BLU's more or less being told "Tough!"

[hideka]

seriously i dont have a blu that can push 4k CDCs just so i can get stuck freaking swapping spells the entire fight

yes you do

[Fredjan]

Expected as much, indeed.

I've come to expect disappointment when it comes to RDM. SCH saw the same treatment with helix spells being available subbed, and now Red Mage'll offer nothing unique to Voidwatch, this'll basically kill any reason to bring one. The only reason people are bringing SCH main to some VW runs is because of Embrava and nothing else (especially for Provenance). It's either that or they're asking Red Mages to /SCH (or the occasional BLM/SCH request, not that I mind in either way), from what I've seen on my server.
