Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[CelestiCer]

these changes, lol. lmao even. i mean sure, it's a .11 patch so personally my expectations were low on them actually doing anything of substance, but damn you'd think they'd at least give some indication that they're paying attention to the actual issues that people have, and not just try nerfing a meme rotation by giving back some potency.

hell, didn't the director say sam and/or nin players would have their issues addressed? where the fuck's that message on the lodestone? housing got like four within days. and even shitters in pvp got talked about.

I mean wasn't Kaiten removal a tiny change? so a tiny re-correction shouldn't be to much to.... oh wait! no they can't cause it's to big of a change to revert a tiny change that meant a lot. Yup, that don't fly around here. I mean Square is after all a Indie-Company.... Quick changes to everything else is possible though that's for sure definitely. Gone start saying " We got Fk'd over... As is tradition ".

This right here is what drives me up the wall. They give us a band-aid in 6.11 because "we can't make bigger changes" and all it really does is make the meme rotation less viable next to the intended rotation. Midare still doesn't feel powerful. Why can't they just roll SAM back to 6.08 and come back to it later? Absolutely nothing was broken. Shinten spam is still a thing though, and I remember SE saying they didn't want that several times over the years. That's why Hagakure no longer converts Sen to Kenki at such a high rate, and even why it was temporarily removed.

So Shinten spam is bad, but it's never gone away. Meanwhile the rest of the job is basically dumpstered and the given reasons why range from "frustratingly vague" to "laughably contradictory."
