new smn ability ideas

[Soundwave]

I basically said that we asked for changes and got it, I'm not talking about a one person wants...I'm talking about the time everybody was asking for increase Ward size AoE etc. particular changes that was known on community sites and was a problem to everybody. This is a prime example on what said. No offense or anything but just wanted to clear it up.

These are the things that SE will look into more frequently, everybody keeps asking for all these things that are not of the same...granted that there is nothing wrong with that but I feel the community can't find one thing to cling onto with summoner and pick it and keep asking for it. That....honestly goes for anything not just summoner...

The problem is that if you gather 100 people, only a few of them will have any common sense. Favors for example was requested by plenty of people, but they described it wrong and suggested something that would be ignored and useless. And that is what we got in the end as well.

The irony as always is that if SE had had a single community forum reader that passed on my ideas, favors would have been a major success putting Summoner right up there with BRD and COR for party support.

Example:

Had they gone with my favor system, it would not have been linked to avatars. You would have summoned your Garuda as always, then triggered Ifrit's Favor for DA bonus to the party, and everyone would have been happy.

Instead we got avatar centered favors that meant that when we use Garuda we do not touch Favors because nobody wants evasion bonus. And nobody uses Ifrit's Favor because Ifrit has terrible damage pacts.


Quite frustrating really to sit here with all solutions in print for SE, and they just ignore me.

Do I dream too much ?

No, but I always felt these kinds of ideas were very restricting. Some of us certainly have favorite avatars, and we'd prefer not being stuck doing single roles with them just because someone thought it was good to give them classes.

Besides since avatars tank through damage, the stats low damage taken, high damage given, is the ideal tank stats, and ideal DD stats, making it the one and same thing.
