Drks, its our time to shine in shadowbringers.

Excited and worried at the same time; Obviously Derplander turning into DRK just... OMG I did NOT see that coming. But I have a gut feeling that Shadowbringers is just going to be SB2 because of how Stormblood was handled in terms of content(Pagos can go die Pyros' fire for all I care) though 24 man raids have been the more interesting part at least until you hit burnout level, and Role actions feel like they were designed with a completely different audience in mind that doesn't even play the game at even midcore level, and same can be said for balance adjustments when Stormblood launched(among other issues but that was because of people coming back to the game and expecting things to not break during early access).


The fact that the devs are taking precautions with 5.0 early access into account along with what people have been complaining about for a good while now shows that is hope still, albeit slim... If pre-order gives players a ton of DRK glamour items then I will get pre-order just for that but I will not expect things to work on early access+launch day...


Also keeping my hopes on the down-low...

1. Getting rid of 32-bit meaning less limits = get our dark flames or capes that flow in the air.
2. MP/TP getting combined mean a huge overhaul of the class
3. Prime show of us becoming warriors of darkness = drk knight = might become OP for once

And Warrior, bard, dragoon, monk, Samurai got deleted.

TP is really a useless stat now. There was a time back in 2.0 where you had to be careful using too much of it, but now I rarely see below the halfway point on any class as we have so many regen methods.

On DRK, I hope this means they're putting more thought/care into how the class plays. And brings back most of what they turned into cheap imitation role skills.

I agree with you, I think they should just Rework the TP for each classes, but by doing this they got many possibilities :

1) Keeping the actual TP ressources, but add more powerful attack that will use this ressource heavily or for being able to mitigate damage with tank classes.
2) Rework it completely, making an rechargeable ressource specific to each classes through mechanics of Classes, TP become SP (Special Point), where you can unleash some signature skill after using your primary ressource (Chakra for Monk, Blood for DRK, etc...). Those Signature skill could be selected before the fight and can add some costumisation to your character. TP regeneration from Crossrole skill change for something else.
3) Remove TP completely, and don't care about it anymore. (But if so, Warriors will only play with HP and no ressources, as long with the other Melee DPS and Physical Ranged one)
4) Many other possibilities i haven't think about.


But, I could only agree that TP actually is useless and need a rework.

Being the expansion's posterboy doesn't automatically mean the job will become OP.

Just look at SAM, the fact that they're unwanted got to the point of becoming a meme. MNK is in an okay state, as far as I know, but I wouldn't call that OP.

I don't think there's anything OP about swapping to a class to take down Kuribu and the 2nd boss of TLCoAmdapoor (Hard) and striking a CGI poster-child pose. There is every possibility that any visits to this forum after the expansion is out will still contain the predicted amount of downtrodden disappointment as it usually does.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for the game to achieve that non-existent perfect-balance that would keep everyone happy, if not for all classes then at least for most (or even a few), but do yourself a favour and try not to get overly excited until you see it for yourself.

If anything this expansion is a good enough reason as any for me to start playing Dark Knight more.

Rise Brothers and sisters and embrace the darkness join our cult

It's also time to reconnect with our Dark Knight brother Sidurgu...
