Translations (JP to English)

Save a server. Move to Gridania.

Damn, the servers issue will end up killing Yoshi before 2.0.

Sorry WAR....

I knew this was coming and was hoping it wouldn't happen so posted to please don't nerf but adjust other stats to balance it out >< Just got Lv50 on my MRD/WAR too... orz

Producer/Director Yoshida here,

パッチ1.22リリース目前ではありますが、パッチ1.22bでジョブ/クラスバランスの調整を行いますので、
その方針を下記に記載させて頂きます。
We are right behind 1.22 release but we are going to make adjustments for job/class balance in patch 1.22b so going to post that below.

複数のジョブ/クラス間バランスとモンスター/バトルコンテンツとの兼ね合いで、
一部効果については、一般的に言う「弱体」に当る修正も存在します。申し訳ございません。
For reasons of balancing between job/class and monster/battle content some effects will have changes where generally called "weakened(nerfed)". Sorry about this.

■戦士&斧術士の調整■
Adjustments to MRD/WAR

「できる限りの下方修正は行わない」という方針で、これまで調整を実施/検討してきましたが、
戦士に関しては「敵視が安定し、広範囲に高いダメージが出せ、防御力が高い」と、
あまりにも高性能化してしまったため、一部下方修正が発生します。
この点については、本当に申し訳ありません。
The direction is to "try as much as possible to not make downgrade changes" and we have been looking/making adjustments but for Warrior the hate is optimal, at same time can deal high damage and has high defense, it became too strong so parts of it will be down graded. For this one I am really sorry.

性能が高すぎる「スチールサイクロン」の性能調整が行われます。
また「バーサク」の効果上昇と「ワールウィンド」の攻撃力を強化し、
引き換えに「コルーション」の効果が調整されます。
"Steel Cyclone" will get adjustments since it is current too efficient.
Also we will increase effect of Berserk and increase the attack in Whirlwind
and adjust Collusion's effect.

■ナイト&剣術士■
Paladin and Gladiator

まずダメージの底上げを行うため
「ゴアブレード」「ライオットソード」「レイジオブハルオーネ」は、強化される予定です。
また、剣術士からナイトへジョブチェンジした際の最大HP減少特徴を無くし、
結果的に最大HPが増える調整がなされ、加えて、盾ガードの強化を行う予定です。
これ以外にも調整の過程で必要と判断されれば、ステータス/敵視関連にも、
調整が入る可能性があります。
To increase the damage we are planning to upgrade "Goring Blade" "Riot Blade" "Rage of Halone". Also when changing from gladiator to Paladin to make where you wont lose the maximum HP and instead increase the maximum HP, at same time increase the shield guard. Aside from this if we decide more adjustments are required we may adjust the status/enmity related stats also.

■竜騎士&槍術士■
Dragoon and Lancer

竜騎士&槍術士は戦闘時間の長い蛮神/レイドボスなどとの戦闘時に、
今以上のパフォーマンスを発揮できるように調整を検証中です。
基本的にはクリティカル時のダメージ上昇を増大させ、
想定しているジョブイメージに近づける調整となります。
For Dragoon and Lancer for long battles such as primals or raid bosses we are looking into making adjustments where you can perform much better than right now.
Basically to increase the damage when critical hits and to make it closer to the planned job image.

*各修正内容の詳細は、調整完了し次第、パッチ前にご報告させて頂きます。
For details on each adjustments once the adjustments are completed we will announce before the patch.

YES!

It's all about balance. Good job Yoshi.

awesomesauce!

........

Hiir Noivl's eyes brim over with tears.

Regarding the server one small reply from YoshiP on Musashimaru's comment saying all we really need to solve this problem is to have global chat where you can hear the shouts from anywhere.

最後の難関は間違いなくこれなのは理解しているのですが、
別途Community Repから以前ポストさせて頂いた通り、
現状、シャウトを広範囲/ゾーン間で行うと、逆に負荷が増大してしまうのです……。
For the last issue I know this is it, but like the community rep posted previously by making the shout range wider or by zones it increases the process/loads......

Or have people ACTUALLY USE the search feature

They could always put a CD on how long you can shout from your last shout..might discourage people from using that over the search feature.

Currently we are using the high spec servers for 2.0 to try and make this stable but the server process code is still current FFXIV code so this max limit reaches before the 2.0 server code. (Rather than specs more like can't use the threads efficiently)
If more characters concentrate on Ul'dah we can't handle just with server specs alone therefore we have put the restriction on new characters right now.
(Even with 2.0 with much better optimized code/optimized thread if the character concentrates a lot in one zone and hit's the physical limitations it will end up in same situation. 2.0 will have a lot more space for maximum limit)

---

This is their own fault they pushed everyone to Ul'dah for so long now, it will interesting to see if the new marketwards features will alleviate this at all.

Try giving Gridania and Limsa more unique content next time SE :P

One simple solution is to give Ul'dah two channels until 2.0 to spread the population between two instances. (Rokien would love this :P)

I am glad they are nerfing MRD . o/

True, I said this also but problem with this one is you have to constantly check for this one so I suggested on another JP thread although this feature will be gone in 2.0 due to content finder and all that.

1. Make a feature where when new recruitment is put up it will show up on the log - it will show event type, comment, class/jobs needed - and you can click on a section of that log which will bring the PT search screen to send /tell to recruiter or to join that event.
2. Make a text filter for those who don't want to see the recruitment message on/off
3. Make a filter to filter out categories you don't care like OTHER since some JP linkshells post Linkshell recruits using this search feature .... which is retarded imo...
4. To make it possible to search/join if you have that required job even if you're currently on another class/job (like while you're crafting)

But since this feature is going away don't know if devs want to even put a staff to work to make this possible

Reinheart do you know if WAR will still be able to Tank? I'll be cool with them getting nerfed, if i'm not forced to play PLD the entire time. I would prefer having two Tanks as an option instead of continuing with one.

I don't see a problem with that since you only have to press accept once to refresh the search results. They could make it autorefresh itself every few seconds, but i think that would raise the load on the server too much.

To clarify, I mean the new search system, not the one from party menu.

He didn't post anything after so we won't know yet. If the adjustments are done right I say WAR will still be able to tank as good, will depend on player skills too imo.

They should have removed that one imho, most people still think about this one when someone mentions party search, not the new one.

Would be nice now if I could decently parry without Foresight so I can use my freaking Overpower.

IMO player search on the other hand is much harder to use, or I'm missing something.

• Party > Party Recruit can make auto parties with job/class you want - People join from Party > Party Search
• Player Search - Can only search for players currently with that class/job at specific level, can't join events people are recruiting etc. (or can you??)

Marauder/WAR issue is simple, all the combos do the same amount of damage about(from what I saw when fighting Ifrit) but the front combo is the most efficient in recast and TP cost.

Front combo is a simple recast of 10/30/30 second, side combo is 20/30/60 and back combo is 30/80. Then the TP cost to start each combo is 1k/1.5k/1.5k. What makes the back combo even more horrid is the ridiculous animation lock you suffer when using the ability, it just doesn't make it an efficient AOE like Steel Cyclone currently is.

I think one adjustment that might be interesting but it may be asking for to much is if they made Steel cyclone a front and back combo, however the combo only works if you have the proper stance active

-Change Steel Cyclone to a 45 second rest-
Front Combo=Rampage active:increases enmity gains lowers dmg and decreased recast by 15 second
Back Combo=Berserk Active:Increases Dmg/Crit hit rate resets Berserk effect increase recast by 15

So perhaps combo wise the recast should be
Front:10/30/30
Side:20/30/60
Back:30/40/60

Have the back attack Steel Cyclone do the amount of dmg it does now with a front attack combo and make the front combo one a means to gain AOE enmity rather then something that deals heavy dmg. Paladin have War Drum so they can easily gain AOE enmity whenever they block and it's up along with AOE flash, so if it's possible to make Steel Cyclone both a DD/tank ability depending on which combo you use it from I think it would balance them out properly.

Whatever changes they make though, I just hope it doesn't make the idea of a War tank obsolete.

Party recruit is the free player looking for a group to join, Player Search is for a leader looking for members, so you can't directly join anything through the player search.

On the WAR adjustments, they will still be able to tank because that is their main function, but it looks like they are making the DD side more enticing as well as maybe increasing the recast on Steel Cyclone? (Which is understandable, that WS is just too good). WAR just really has no downsides at all currently. It looks like both PLD and WAR are getting boosts to their DD side, PLD apparently getting more than WAR since they need to remain competitive.

PLD is getting more HP, which they really needed, as long as better defense/blocking so it will be a bit more balanced as PLD won't be too far behind in damage but will be able to take more of it.

It looks good so far, though, I have a few LS people that would like to PLD and a few WARs that would like to DD or play another class on occasion.

Ewwww, global chat...

It's not gonna happen per YoshiP so don't worry, even if it did if you don't like it you can filter it so it shouldn't be an issue.

It's pretty odd I thought the chat servers were separate from the game servers, thats why you get chat even when you are R0ing.

Oh well, too bad they can't get zone chat up and running at the least, I can't say I'm a fan of global chat either.

to be honest i don't think the "filter it out of you don't like it" works with something big as a global chat, if everyone uses it to form a group for any kind of content and, like now, mostly ignores recruit and search you will cripple yourself severely if you filter it out, so its not really an option by then...

1 Weaponskill being marginally nerfed, and a buff to Berszerk and a minor adjustment to Collusion?

I mean the implementation of these adjustments will determine the answer, but all logical conclusions = yes, I don't think that these minor adjustments will break Warrior as a tank. Combine them with the buffs to PLD, and the question becomes which will be better and by how much? We'll have to wait and see.

Yep agree with you but LlenCoram seemed to not like global chat so for those type of people can just filter them out... but they will have to rely on their linkshell, friends. Majority would most likely keep it up imo.

Yeah I also had bad experience from another MMO that was annoying as hell. - Once you log in that game all you see is wall of text of people chatting on global chat channel... lol
Maybe just add the douche bags who abuse the chat to blacklist and keep the good people in or something.

If all they do is nerf Steel Cyclone, WAR is not going to change much as far as end game tanking goes. It will most likely be a significant nerf to WAR's ability to mow down large groups of enemies, though, so better farm those tapers, keystones and AF chests before 1.22b hits!

If they did add a global chat, there should be a time limit for posts. For example, you can only type something in global chat every 30(?) seconds after your post. Anything to deter people from using it as a regular chat channel.

I feel /shout doesn't need to be brought to a global scale.

Dear gods, what is so hard about using the search function?

it's just 2 types of recruiting, the Party -> Recruit is passive; you set up who you are looking for, fixing the party setup. Player search is active; you have to poke players to ask if they want to join. I usually just set it to 1-50, status:searching for party and go from there.

No one uses it, so no one uses it.

Besides, it's not really explained anywhere how to even set your search. Clicking on your name to open a new window is not really something anyone considers when there's already an entire "search" interface on their screen.

You're right.... got to the testers and say "ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE FIRED"

Not even being mean... they are clearly just not needed
