I assume all tanks will get something like that, the benchmark didn't show all the new additions, only the ones the devs probably considered the flashiest.

Pretty much this. And they seemingly forgot this important point within 2 years.

Back in Stormblood Warrior's healing was limited by both beast gauge for Inner Beast and tank stance for both it...

It might be a side effect, yes, but it still required them to remake all the shapekeys for the different faces. The current retail faces already use shapekeys but they do not use the same base mesh....

I don't think it is entirely wrong.
The WoL is still a bit of a blank slate. We go along with everything the Scions do but rarely is our motivation for it explored. It might look like we're fighting...

For the body and clothes they're not even using shapekeys as far as I know, female hyur, miqo'te, roegadyn, au ra, viera and elezen all just use the midlander body with different bone scaling...

It's that one girl from the conjurer questline who only wants to heal and never anything else. Now adopted as a term for a certain kind of healer player.

New jobs do, which is why we get them every expansion even if their gameplay turns out to be the same bland mush.

All it takes to get the expansion hype rolling all over again is a new job with...

Pretty much, and it has never been a good stance. It always leads to the same outcome, on release the players always find issues that could've been fixed pre-release and the devs have to spend the...

Just like the jagged edges on the bridge of the nose were never intended, but people got used to those imperfections and at that point it becomes "don't fix what isn't broken".

Bones, not polygons. More polygons just means the model is smoother, less jagged edges and, if rigged properly, less awkward defomations on the model. The bones are what the mesh gets rigged to...

The benchmark hasn't impressed me for any of the jobs, we're gonna have to wait until the media tour.
But let's be honest we're already at the point again where if the job preview during the media...

Pass me some of that super copium please.


I have yet to hear that it's actually a "new" engine, unless you mean the Bethesda definition of "new" which is just stapling modern features onto an...

I wouldn't exactly call DrK "infinitely" more engaging.
While Warrior is absolutely the most unengaging and mindless spam job out of all tanks, Dark Knight is 75% spamming your filler and 25%...

I actually like that lipstick is no longer super glossy, always looked like I smeared vaseline over my lips and removed what little detail Miqo'te lips had.

Last time I checked the random highlight is also affected by the character lighting option, having it on adds a noticeable highlight around the outline of your body.

It's not even about being old enough to have experienced previous iterations of the game.
The new player, who is still busy doing MSQ, rarely has any experience with how the jobs really work or...

While the CC lighting is certainly responsible for some of the complaints, it is not responsible for the changes in lip texture/shape on a lot of faces. Female Viera are probably the most obvious...

The significantly better designed version of the skill.

Idk about that one. The highest recorded Bloodwhetting heal in Anabaseios seems to be around 16500 in a single hit, regardless of any +healing received buffs. You're not getting 50k in 2 GCDs with...

Back in Stormblood they still did outright nerfs, can't remember if that stance changed in Shadowbringers or Endwalker.

That would be kinda hilarious, the physical-damage-only reflect is already pretty mediocre on a tank but probably the most useless effect on a non-tank.

While balance certainly plays a role, my primary concern is how all tanks currently play, not how good their DPS is. Warrior got buffed the entire expansion, but more potency can't fix the fact that...

Now if only they could also update DrK's run animations.

It's not even the low res version, it's like they removed the original detail from the lips and made them look incredibly flat.
