TL;DR of live letter

[Kaurie]

I was going to apologize, but tbh, I just don't care anymore. Nothing matters, does it!? Its just another thing I'll have to get used to to enjoy a theme park.

Apologize for what?

Apologize for what?

I don't want a mess of addons, and as complicated as the game can be at times, add ons taking me through every part of the fight would feel even worse.

I used to be excited for live letters but it's been a while since they've felt anything but a big joke on their playerbase. Every question gets the same vague answer about limitations or lack of time/resources.

Am I the only person that thinks shit like this is basically getting your computer to play the game for you?

Yes. It'd be one thing if the computer moved you away or did something to get you away from harm (see: tool assisted runs for console games). All DBM and Big Wigs does is warn you in a noticeable way. It's up to you to still react and do whats needed to not die.

Going to the Twintania example, yes, it'd be really useful to have an addon like that warn you on divebombs, with the ability to set it to send a raid warning when someone is in conflag, who is tethered to dreadknights and so on. Sometimes you don't have the time to scan the whole battlefield, and if you're like me you're not coming near the mic to say anything on chat because you're too busy trying to not die.

Not mentioning some of the memory game fights (turn 9 comes to mind) would be more manageable. In before "it took me a million wipes to learn T9 so it has to take EVERYONE a million wipes!!!!!1!one".

I still am confused about what you were going to apologize for 0.0

However, that's a fine opinion for sure. I really miss addons personally. I loved that Wildstar, for example, fully embraced addons. It's too bad it failed in many other aspects.

I agree. I feel that they should just not do the live letters if this is the sort of thing we get. This letter seems to be getting a lot of praise for giving so much info - yet I feel we got very little to nothing. One of the drawing features of this game was that the dev team listens to its players, but I feel that it was simply an illusion that we all fell for.

Bethesda is creating add-ons/mods for Fallout 4 so it is either not the addon issue or PS4 is not the problem because addon/mods are possible for PS4. PS4 is getting a major hardware overhaul which may be why they can use the mods and addons for Fallout 4 as well as adding 4k monitor compatibility

GTA5 as well?

Agreed. They we're so nice in the 1.x era. Now it is just excuses and glamour answers...or almost nothing at all. I don't even bother watching them anymore :/

Yeah I found the live letter quite underwhelming. On the one hand I kinda admire the honesty of just saying "I don't know" if you don't have an answer. But it seemed like there weren't answers for 2 out of 3 questions. Everything may or may not happen at some point in the future and we're just being impatient was the general gist of it.

Because divebombs, conflags, and fireball totally don't make a sound and put a huge marker over your head. Dreadknights totally don't mark and stun the person they're aggroed to, either. Seriously, now. You really need the computer to spell it out for you?

If this is what people want, I sincerely hope we never get add-on support.

It didn't take you long to try your hand at villifying me for my opinion there, chief. I could care less how fast other people clear it or don't clear it. You're talking to someone that loves to join learning and clear parties and used to spend Saturday nights teaching content in Party Finder so other people clearing is actually something I like seeing. I just think that the amount of hand-holding being asked for here is pretty far out there. I mean, when you have an experienced player call out the raid, that's at least a player that's sharing their experience and helping others with the timing. That's someone that took the time to learn the fight helping others do the same, not the computer reading the files clientside and calling out every skill 10 seconds in advance.

Actually don't care if you helped people out or not, its peoples own problems imo if they can't get a group running because theres always a underlying reason for it, just to add, I am not a big fan of boss timers however, whats the difference between, a divebomb marker and divebomb timer? In the interest of fairness, there shouldn't even be a marker at all and every one should look at twintania in this example. The player is still getting a handholding in this respect.
