Interim Report – Sorry to keep you all waiting!

[FrankReynolds]

People crying about PD/Embrava nerf should lose posting privileges. The abilities are stupidly broken, and events will be designed around these stupidly broken abilities or there will be no challenge unless it's stupid cheap things like AoE death moves, instead of adapting to changes in mob behavior like what was done before.

With PD and Embrava getting the nerf, newer content won't be designed around them so much.

Yeah, the problem is that those mobs all still have AoE death moves and people don't want to wait a year or two only to find out that the next event they come out with is just more AoE death moves. Just because SE has nerfed embrava doesn't mean that they suddenly hired smart devs who will make events that don't revolve around AoE death anymore. It just means that they nerfed embrava/PD.

Once again the Devs fixed a problem by taking the easy route and nerfed a couple of jobs instead of making the shitty jobs better. The idea of making content that is insanely hard for most of the 2,000 people on each server just so the other 20-30 people who are really good at this game can go a week or two longer without getting bored is not an economically viable approach and quite frankly it's getting old.

When your car needs new tires you don't pull off the old ones and drive around on the wheels making sparks everywhere for a few months while you slowly buy a full set of new ones. You get the new tires ready first. Same thing applies here. You make the new content that is geared towards the weaker abilities. Then you fix the old content. Then you nerf / boost the necessary abilities. Then you release them in conjunctiuon so that the user doesn't suffer through the entire process. Especially when you do thigs as god awful slow as SE does.

They could take away those death moves and other cheap tactics and leave embrava/PD as they were and the end result would be that 1,000-2,000 diehards got bored (they are bored anyways) while the other 200,000 people playing the game had a more enjoyable experience.

This company has serious issues with prioritizing work. They keep adding more and more broken junk without fixing the broken crap they already added and it's all going to snowball into an avalanche of crap. Working on an expansion and new jobs at this point when so many events / jobs are crap is tantamount to making a road map that says "Quit the game for a while --------------------------> hopefully you'll return when seekers comes out?".
