Yes, and to be clear my speculative statement is in no way indicative of my opinion on the matter of the handling of this game’s development cycle. I have been highly frustrated about the game’s direction and the appearance of a lack of priority at SE on this project.

That said, I do not know categorically what decisions were being made behind the scenes; all I can do is speculate from the perspective of somebody who works in project management and has had projects that involved challenging decisions regarding the scope of work, the schedule, or the resourcing decisions.

If SE has designed Healers to only feel engaging (to some players) in high end content (hence the 'go play Ultimate' comment), then it'd be best to wring out the small drops of 'fun' from the role while you can (ie week 1 prog), before gear and such increases and the role trends back towards 1111111

Then, once it does trend towards 1111111, you've already got a headstart on gearing the 'actual main' job

That's a neat idea!
Though I hope I can afford not using the gear for my healer, since ilvl/BiS help with clearing fights and I don't want to be a deadweight.

I am highly critical of SE, I think SE is a company that has no idea of how to run a MMORPG they just throw stuff at it and see what sticks, if it doesn't stick, they don't alter it they just throw something new at it down the line, at the same time I'll give credit where credits due. So my dislike of her approach has nothing to do with being defensive of the company, she literally wants to dislike everything about the game and thats her target audience.

Are you sure you're not just mad because she's prettier than you?

It literally doesn't matter unless you're going for a week 1 kill where your DPS is important. Just cast an extra GCD.

Actually, scratch that it literally doesn't matter anymore because Savage basically does not have anymore real DPS checks ever since M4S, where you can kill week 1 with 5 deaths and not even see enrage LOL.

I used to be excited for his liveletters, but his obsession for content consistency & dumbing the game down so much has made not care much what Yoshi P. has to say.

I know what to expect, and its more slop.

He also just flat out lies, constantly. I just love how everyone has already ignored that they're supposed to present their "improved encounter design" for 7.2.

I'm going to yell if their version of "improved encointer design" is just making combat mechanic more flashy DDR (which is very confusing when doing it the frist time because you have no idea what the telegraph supposed to mean)

I can't be the only one that remembers that the glamour dresser being limited to inn rooms was meant to be temporary, right?

They said it was to curb initial server load... well, they never actually removed the limit.

They gave up because putting one in a house crashed the server. All the best devs just stop trying after something fails once.

And I still don't understand the explanation they gave for that.

Opening a UI should be fully separate from anything else. The UI should be enough to store new glamours not the dresser object.
