WHUT?!weaponskill animations gone ? Another ARC pigeon hole content.

[Hikozaemon]

WTH did my unique weaponskill animations go ? Thanks for taking a huge step backwards. Why did u add them then remove them a patch later ? DUH? Again flashy light effects dont make a game good.
Only got a chance to play after they patch was released then i lost my internet for a few days and didnt notice until today that gla/lnc/mrd are missing some of the new animations that where recently added. Not to mention ARC gets buffed thru the roof and lnc/mrd/pug get nerfed BIGTIME. Its not a matter of learning to play a new way and adjust to the combo system. Now where back to Darkhold days where ARC is the bee's knees and everything else is lackluster and unwanted. Do these developers even think about how each class can contribute to aa endgame fight before they make it? THM burns thru its mp so fast its not relevant in a Timed battle. LNC MRD and PUG suffer in mog fight cus chasing down moolges that wont stay the hell still makes it impossible for them to DPS reliably . Solution throw 5 Ifrits bow ARCs at them cus its the easy way out; not like some of us would prefer to actually play a DPS class other than ARC?!
Can you developers please think crap thru before implementing it or get some more level-headed QA people w/ balls that will tell you when u create some bogus content.

Relax bro. We're getting it in 1.21 as part of the "new" content, lol.

So what your saying is they need you to run the Q/A team so you can taylor the game to your needs because your incapable of adapting to a game that is changing to meet the broad strokes of the majority feedback?

Your funny. Do you do birthday parties? I hope so, cause after that generic rant I could definently take you much more seriously if you had clown shoes or an eye patch on.

i think its funny when people just accept anything thrown their way. is it really wrong to bitch about things randomly out of the blue changing when they by no means needed to change at all? hes not the only one that feels this way. there are tons of posts about them re-downgrading the weapon skills and THM being irrelevant in long term fights due to annoying MP conservation.

we all know they are adding those animations back in 1.21, what we dont know is why they couldnt leave the newest animations in tact and just add more even cooler ones for jobs in 1.21
we also dont know why they think the new MP system is super fun happy time gameplay or why they added those animations in the first place if they couldnt come up with even newer/cooler JOB specific ones. this is why the majority is bitching.

I agree with OP and Dreadnought.

Yes, it is saddening that they killed some of the best animations that were added to the game. Yes, a lot of the classes got nerf'd down to where archer was in 1.19. But I would disagree that archer got buffed at all. I am still doing the same ammount of damage on my archer as I did in 1.19. All's that happened was that other classes cannot dps as well at moogle because they're moving a lot. Thus it seems like archer is the best because of their range. I have heard of many people fighting moogle with a full lnc party. Lnc is still easily viable it all depends on how you play your class and how well you can play it. Sorry that Lnc cannot do an ungodly amount of damage like it did before on a target that cannot move cough cough ifrit. The pgl class did not get nerf'd they changed the play style it can easily do fantastic dps with it's weapon skills, as for mrd oh I'm sorry you cannot aoe up the ass with storms path please let me kiss your feet and apologize for that because that wasn't rediculous? I think your just looking to complain isn't the whole point of playing archer is that you have the range? If anyone has the right to complain it is thm/cnj/gld users. Thm got nerf'd hard with this patch and cnj/gld are pigeon holed into healing/tanking.

This. Same. Thread. Again.

What's new? Get over it, yes it's a drag but pick up your crud and move on to bigger and better things other than animation skills. Remember they said it themselves, they are changing a lot of stuff.

I hope Bard gets an Arrow Helix-like ability. I miss that graphic, it was one of the coolest in the game. (Yes cooler than Doomspike II get out of my house) I understand though since none of the new ARC skills are "radial AoE 8+ malms from you" that the animation couldnt have been retrofitted to any of the 1.2 skills.

Just watch for patch 96 and it will all be still broke.
