maybe...people are ok with new Ranged-DPS and new Races (Genderlocked)

[Ilan]

I'm completly fine with the genderlocked races because there doesn't always have to be to genders of something in a FANTASY GAME. It is completly fine in other games and only this com here makes a drama out of it.

Dancer as a ranged dps is a thing that i can't really understand because first of all i would imagine that a dancer is not a ranged class but more important is that we should get another healer instead of another dps class. Its not that i'm upset about it its more that i don't really understand this decision.

AnnaRosa expressing their opinion is one thing but what people do right now, in several threads, is trying to blackmail ("i'm unsubbing because i don't get *insert whatever*) and straight up insult SE. Thats not how you express your opinion.

is trying to blackmail ("i'm unsubbing because i don't get *insert whatever*) and straight up insult SE. Thats not how you express your opinion.

1) That's not blackmail.

2) That's literally the most powerful way you have of expressing your opinion as a consumer.

3) SE still don't have to care. Oh, they lose a handful of subs out of the thousands that are going to continue playing, paying sub fees, paying retainer fees, purchasing mogstation items... However will they cope? /s

4) It's 99.99% of the time hyperbole and people who say it won't actually unsub, they're just salty because they're disappointed in the news they got.

On Topic:

I'm excited about Shadowbringers. I'm very curious as to how the MSQ will unfold and exploring the First Shard.

I'm excited to try out Gunbreaker.

I'll play Dancer some, even if only to level to 80 and maybe work on the ShB Relic for eventually. I'm not particularly a big DPS fan.

Viera/Hrothgar... Aren't my cat gril waifu so it doesn't actually impact me, I don't have any plans to change my race or make an alt. The only way it would impact me is if we got a new free retainer slot as I'd have more options for the race to choose for it (Currently I have a Fem Au Ra and Fem Roe)

But at the same time, there have been some disappointing decisions. Though, this hasn't only been in Shadowbringers reveals (I.e. Genderlocked races and DPS Dancer).

Healers are getting shafted. I can only hope the rework that WHM is getting is enough to make it feel like a new job.

BLU is a half finished job.

Viera and Hrothgar are half finished races.

Eureka felt like half finished content on release.

Of course, the rest of the game has been fun and I'll continue to enjoy it. It's just that this trend is worrying. That they're starting to ship out half-finished content. That they seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on the most played role in the game instead of doing anything about one of the 2 underpopulated roles (More than 50% of jobs introduced since ARR have been DPS with Dancer making that 4 out of the 7 total jobs (Not accounting for BLU which would technically make it 5/8). Oh well, I guess I'll just be glad that Gunbreaker was a Tank and not another DPS.

The most powerful way you have to express your opinion is straight up not using the product anymore if it doesn't meet your standards or communicate with the customer service. Screaming around and threaten to unsub in an open forum is a poor attempt to blackmail SE into doing what this person wants, no way of compromise nothing.

I know that most people will not unsub but i also don't care if they do.

But...
Unsubscribing and stating why is exactly not using the product and communicating why...

It is in no conceivable way blackmail...

most content is released and a half finished state. Thats the style of ffxiv, and most service based mmos. They started with 1.0 which morphed into 2.0, they added and developed the main story over time. They tweaked and changed jobs. They add raids one at a time. The relic was always released in pieces. They alter jobs with every expansion.

its always a work in progress being released one piece at a time

Well dancing right next to a big dragon or whatever doesn't seem to be the best idea ever. So Dancer being ranged makes sense.
