The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[Kyuuen]

I don't think it's really all that important. We didn't have the 'original' design in the first place, so to me this is a non issue.

And one can make the same statement about the thread originating the request. So there we have it.

I read through that thread a bit thanks to my browser auto translating things. It's basically the same as this one but with less anarchy. Some were for it. Some were against it. Some didn't care one way or another, and others were a bit confused as to why it was necessary. Again, like this one. The general consensus seemed to be as follows (paraphrasing of course)..."If they want to change it that's their call. We get it, since it's something that would be seen constantly on the player's screen". If it wasn't overall in favor of the idea I doubt they would have acted on it.

I asked someone who suffers from it and they told me it’s 100 times worse so…i’m more willing to take their word for it considering they actually suffer from the damn thing.

It probably affects different people differently. But I don't know if there was ever a thread about the leatherworker icon being gross that got over 150 likes.

By the gods, yes.

Go ahead, no one is stopping you?

I kinda see a problem, though. If the devs decide they don't want to make changes based on other phobias, would that be considered favoritism or outright bigotry?

This was a simple edit for something not in game yet. I think there is a bit of a difference, but...

So as long as something's easy to do then it's fine? Screw those other people with phobias, they're too difficult to cater to?

He asked if "we're" open to talk about other phobias, he's free to talk about and ask for whatever he likes and the devs are free to act on it. Or not.

And you're free to consider that favoritism or bigotry, or not.

And so on and so forth.

No one said that, but some things are easy fixes, while others arent.


Plus, some things are just intrinsic to world design, like oceans, water, etc.

I have arachnophobia, and hate winged insects also to the point of a phobia. I flinch at house flies. The insects in game don't bother me. That's just me tho.

I also have an intense fear of falling. The first trash pull of the bunker freaked me out the first time it dropped me. I was fine after the first run though.

When I was younger I suffered severe to crippling anxiety. And still have some effects, yet I've never had issues being a tank in mmos, and yet there are people who suffer "tanxiety" that I will never understand. But I dont make fun of them or complain in those threads.


And people are free to make requests, any time, here on the forums. It doesn't mean every one will be worked, but they are free to ask.

I think it's great Square Enix took the input of players into consideration with the latest icon design.
