On a scale of 1 - 10, how disappointed are you so far with Stormblood news?

[Arutan]

For people like me, the minority that only focuses on crafting content, playing the market board, glamour/character content, this doesn't exactly make a huge appeal, ya know? As you know, the expansion falls short in that, which is why I give it an 8.

Then do something else than crafting? Crafting doesn't represent the game and should in fact be easy for everyone to enjoy doing their gear, food, furniture and everything else. It's a little aspect of the game, not minor but not main either. If you're locking yourself in one content above all that is in game then I don't see why you're whining.

This is something that we do not know yet. We may or may not end up going to Kugane first.

Rewatch the presentation

I think you need to rewatch it because there was no confirmation of anything, in fact, the smart assumption is that Ala Mhigo/Kugane is how they're gonna split the playerbase to ease server stress like how they added Channels in 3.0 and had you choose between SoC or CWH. So, until Yoshi P himself comes out and says "You have to clear Ala Mhigo before you can access Kugane", I'm gonna have to ask you to stop making false statements.

I'm usually the first to drink the haterade, and who knows, maybe the patch cycles will end the same way they do now as with many MMO's.

But I'm glad they only did 2 jobs instead of 3 if that means they're going to take a hard look at retooling abilities and balancing jobs, especially like when they singled out PLD that needs help. When they instituted 3 the first time, AST was pretty shit compared to the other healers and it took a long while (before now, overbalancing, literally) to get it where it is. I'd rather have 2 well-implemented jobs compared to 3 eh ones.

Not even gonna use a score cause I think it's sill. I am so happy for stomblood not disappointed at all. And I can finely be the RDM I always wanted to be can't wait to see what I can do with that job.

yeah after hw i feel like they need to spend a bit more time on those 2 roles. But I think pld deserves a shield charge/shield tackle. Anything to make the job a little more fun. Then they need to work on healer/tank synergy really hard and determine how best to implement it to where any combination of the three will synergize just well with the other two, or at least more feasibly without monopolizing a slot no matter what. Hope theyve been looking at the suggestions and debates on how to improve that on these forums.

Hmm. I don't know why you put the high score for bad and low score for good, but for me it would be a 1 since I'm really excited about all the new things coming. Only disappointment is the lack of customization. Was really looking forward to that since they dropped PS3, but I knew not to keep my hopes up on that one. Overall, I think we are getting a sweet expansion.

[RubyCirha]

To be honest my hype is off the charts lol I think storm blood has the potential to be the best expansion to 14 and yea I meen I am kinda disapointed at not getting new charicter customisation and no new race that is disapointing but to be honest let's fix some of th qol stuff and the battle system before we wory about races and the like idk for me there a want not a need and right now we need so spice added to the battle system

[XSamsaraLotusX]

They did say it wont be a remake .
All thewy will do is take some "bad" akills.
Then some more skills like provoke and add them to a role poll of skills.then combine some skills. Then add new skill. In the end you will have as many skills as now.
Pal will be the MT he is now and WAR the ot.

10, if those people threatening to leave the game are still here around stormblood.
