FF14 team has the means of communication to create hot fixes. They chose not to and then they simply brush it off in a Live Letter by saying 'well it's just not popular enough'.
That excuse is just not good enough. You've implemented a brilliant new mode but you're not supporting it as you should.
It ended up being way more popular than you envisioned but now you're letting it die by not hot fixing blatant bug abuse, not even job balance.
If you don't support your players then of course a project will lead to a failure and the hype will die.
- The end game experience is WHM in every group who still play like bronze.
- Literally pointless rewards
- Literally zero communication from the PvP team
- A large wave of wall exploiters in frontlines, mostly MCH who use turret to keep people from capping as they cap from within walls.
You're a multi-dollar company, so start acting like one.

I'm going to assume PvP is doomed to remain an afterthought if at minimum they don't address the known bugs like the BRD perma slow, WHM's infinite cure IIs and ability to remove ground AoEs with Miracle of Nature, and the erroneous English tooltips in the coming 6.11 patch.

04-22-2022, 08:27 PMBuredaI love the new mode and the new PvP they are trying to bring to life. I am doing my duty by giving some feedback after gaining experience. There's just so many hotfixes that need to be done that shouldn't sully the experience. I understand server tick is an issue for them, but then again that can easily be solved by letting cc removal and guard be used during CC or something. There's many ways. It's just there's no way they can be excused for literal neglect.Quote:

I wouldn't expect any major balance changes until the end of the season sadly.

Balance discrepancies are expected in newly released content. The game mode is doing just fine currently and it'll get balanced in due time.
The housing issue was not expected and is an objective failure by whoever coded it. Because of the bug, some players aren't able to enjoy the content that they might have been able to if it was coded properly.
It's not hard if you think about it for a bit. -
04-22-2022, 10:47 PMNanneWhen I started to PvP around Stormblood there was only 1 season in the 14 seasons I played where WHM wasn't the top healer :p Also out of those 14 seasons Scholar was viable in maybe 2 seasons and in one of those 2 they got hotfixed within a week cause they were too strong. Balance wasn't good with years of changes so how will they fair with it now with more complex jobs?Quote:

I would just like a response from the dev team.
" we noticed there are some bugs and unbalances in pvp and we are working to fix them." Would be comforting to hear.
Anything is better than silence. Even if no exact eta. Can let us know it will probably be weeks or be honest and say probably not for some weeks.
Tell us something.
