The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Galand]

As a summoner main, i think the changes are good, they giving smn more burst damage which is needed badly. All 3 dots go up in one GCD so you can dot / contagion / bane / fester faster. Summoner will hopefully no longer be completely useless against adds. I just hope they put summoner a lil closer to the middle as far as dps goes, as summoner is close to the bottom right now.

Would have been nice to get at least one new egi, possibly ramuh with lightning dots or something. But oh well.

Unless dots are all getting their timers increased, how are we going to work this in, or when your in bahamaut mode how do you recast dots

Y'know, I could've sworn they mentioned they were adding Ramuh and Leviathan Egis...
oh well *shrug*

No, he made it clear that they are not adding new egis but the current ones would get new spells. He did go on to say something about Carbuncle for Summoners but the lady did not translate it right and noone has any idea what Yoshi was talking about.

Months ago.

Thing about game development though, especially games which are perpetually in development (eg MMOs): Plans change. Until it's actually out, never expect anything to be exactly as stated - and even once it's out don't expect it to stay that way forever.

Huh, more abilities for the Egis themselves? Are they going to add slots to the bars? There's no room left on the current pet hotbar for anything. I'm loving that Tri-Disaster change though.

I was reaaaaaaally looking forward to get new egis... My guess is that whole "re-desiging" SMN took so much time that they can't give us new egis but... Still.

*insert sad face here*

Do you understand they have been teasing more egis since launch? They directly stated new egis would come at level cap, noone wants to use the same 3 pets for another 2 years. Its like hunters in Warcraft, every new expansion they get tons of new pets to tame, warlocks get the same tired demons.

If they at least would let me turn them into other egis/carbuncle/summons or whatever for visual purposes thats fine with me, i dont need them to have unique spells each because thats apparently asking too much.

If they are afraid to water down SMNs by adding new spells for new egis, I can sorta understand that. Yes, I am aware that they did say they were planning on adding more egis, they chose not to. What can you do? I guess I'm just not as bothered as other people but I'll wait to see how SMNs play out in 3.0 -shrugs-

I'm pretty sure this is what they are doing, the lady just did a bad job of translating it, at least that's how I interpreted it.

The live letter that's been running. http://www.twitch.tv/finalfantasyxiv ; the broadcast is almost finished.

Are there transcripts of live letters someplace for us deaf people?

[Amaret]

Oh come on. Stop saying that they said 100% they will add new egi's.
They only said -IF- they add new Egis it only will be with a increase of the level.
