Fix Summoner Once and For All in 6.0 Please!

Guess we will find out in a few weeks then. For all we know we could become Terra Branford and become a Primal temporarily in a true trance mode.

Or maybe they will make Titan Egi great again, evolve into Sephirot Egi and out tank all the tanks.

I'm glad they halted work on glamour since ultimately it does very little for the job.

Honestly, I'm humbled the devs have taking my ideas and put them in the game. But at the same time having Egi Glamour kicked down the road again is frustrating because I know Egi Design has been a key topic with the SMN community since Beta. It's long past time this gets address.

I think they need to be more transparent on their plans for Egi in general and should provide a roadmap for summoners.

There is really no excuse for not having Ramuh/Shiva/Levi glams.

If you have time for making minions of every Eikon out there there is not much reason we don't have these egi's by now.

Sephirot Egi's in the Fiend fight and the little Ramuh's in Ramuh are big offenders.

I would not be happy for summoners if all the new stuff for egi's just turns out to be a Silver and Black Carbuncle.

How do you know what the changes are, let alone where SQEX got the ideas from?

No, but the person I was quoting seems to and I'm confused.

I'm referring to suggestions and ideas I've posted in the past that have made it in game, you're welcome to search my name but be warned it goes back 10 years. I have no clue what they are playing and that is what has me worried. I know Egi design is a hot button because I've seen it posted over and over and over for the past 8 years.

Mr. Happy put out a video with a brief interview with YoshiP and the topic of Egi glam was asked.

Naoki Yoshida:
Currently summoner as a job is reaching somewhat of a breaking point when it comes to the overall play mechanics, so we’ve halted work on Egi glamour for the time being in order to shift focus. There is a reason behind this, but we can’t share the details with you at the moment. When the time comes, I’ll be sure to properly share that information with everyone.

I mean... I've been saying this (and got flamed for it) for quite a while now, that they didn't shed any news on the topic like an ETA because they are reworking - heavily - SMN, and implementing a glamour system would be wasted work if 1 expansion later everything changed.

This statement near-confirms this. Not saying that Egis are going to be removed altogether, but I really suspect the way they function will be nothing like they do nowadays..

I read this differently I guess. I'm taking it as they have too many "systems" on SMN that just didn't work in 5.0 like they hoped and I agree with that. You have Trance, Demi, Egi, DoT, Aetherflow... It was just too much to try and keeping piling one of top of the other which is what they tried to do. I don't think it was too much though, just not revamped to work well with each other. But's I'll say that if you remove pets from a pet job, the forums will erupt with very negative feedback.

Oh...
So you don't actually have a way to verify SQEX is taking your feedback then.
Dang.

No, sadly SE doesn't believe in players actually Beta testing a job for the drop the ball on us so to speak.
