The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

1. who cares about 8vs8
2. use the "focus tank" one ppl will know why cause they see the amount of medals etc.
3. if a mch/brd dont give mp they wont do it most likely even if u use a macro or type it also typing as healer is bad
4. detect in feast? ninja in feast? lul
5. use the "focus healer " command

1. My work doesn't allow me to catch the prime times for 4v4 ranked queues most days, so 8v8 is generally all I get. So, I care about 8v8s. Pretty sure some others do too.
2. If right now I can mark a tank and say "X player has 10 stacks, focus them" and no one does, how well do you think that'll work when I CAN'T say why I'm marking a tank?
3. As a MCH main, I got no problem providing MP, but I'm not always on-the-spot with it, especially if I'm being focused or going in for a kill. There's nothing bad about communicating what you need, and the bigger picture implied there was that there is now no way to communicate that particular need from what I've seen.
4. Yes, some people play NIN. Some use Hide for setting up surprise attacks. It actually works. NIN may not be a favored job in the Feast, but in the hands of someone who knows how to use it well, it's no less of a threat to deal with, and many people don't use Detect, even when they see a NIN hide right in front of them.
5. The bigger picture again is that yes, I can say to focus someone, but if a teammate by chance is tunneling or switches your mark, or won't focus the healer or whoever you mark, there's no way to explain WHY to focus that one, and while typing in combat is a liability, sometimes the why of it is important to getting people to notice what they might not otherwise. It's all about communication, or lack thereof now.

And while all of what I said was based on actual experiences, it was satire to a degree, if only to perhaps make others think and see the potential slew of issues this new "feature" creates rather than solves. I very much have already considered solutions and workarounds of my own, but it does little to solve the core problem now at hand. No, I'm not only going to do Frontlines, but I pretty much have no choice but to accept the soon-to-come lack of effective communication in the Feast, considering we never even got an acknowledgement that they heard our concerns ahead of time, and they simply pushed the change we didn't want.

But hey, at least I can still get the top 10 minion later even though I'm not even in the top 100 (see #1 on the above list). How about them earrings though?

Explains it all I guess. Ninjas itself are rare already in 4vs4 and hide is not good in feast either for several reasons its basically usless like detect.
