Elements to be Implemented in the March 27th Version Update

[Vivik]

There is a difference between what you said and what I am saying. I am not saying go back to how the game was 5 years ago, I am saying change your strategy to where its not just a never ending zerg against enemies. Right now no one can dispute the fact that 90% of content relates to killing whatever it is you are fighting in the least amount of time, because of this there is little real strategy involved, no tanking, and no coordinated teamwork. If this update changes things as much as it sounds like it might, then this will flip, we will not be mindlessly zerging things, they will stomp us down, we will need more defensive measures, for instance, a PLD tanking the mob, defense on gear not being pointless, more PDT/MDT/Haste Hybrid sets. Right now we are to offensive centric in how we play this game, everything is more damage, thats all people gear for, its all people want to do, this sounds as though it will make defense actually part of the game again, which is in my opinion a good thing. If you cant stand the idea of actually backing off of the mob once in a while, then I don't know what to tell you, Final Fantasy has always involved a level of strategy, which this game had more than any other at a time, and now lacks massively, this sounds as though it may bring some of that back.

Actually PLD was my first job to 75. I know exactly what it takes to manage hate in a large fight. I'm just saying and are willing to bet that 90% of the people still playing today are not gonna go for it. I can see it now "Yeah guys I know you have Ukons and Rags but just turn so the tank can get hate back, ok?" Riiiiiight, not gonna happen.

Kind of pointless to debate about it though. We will see...

True, and I know the kind of people you mean, they are the same kind who wipe in Legion to the behemoth because they get cursed by spikes then hit by AoE spells that kill them in one shot. Hopefully this will just be a bit more widespread and forced of a learning experience for people.
