Disappointed Dragoon.

[nezumiku]

I feel as if I was conditioned to believe that the developers of this game listen to their community, so I wasn't really worried about the future of this game. But despite all of the new amazing content I am looking forward to from the Live Letter, I am now at a loss for if I will even be able to enjoy it as I would like to.

They have decided to move forward with a dragoon rework and I was personally really caught off guard. Previously they stated they were considering major changes to DRG but when the entire DRG playerbase said that the job was in a perfect or near-perfect spot, I assumed DRG would be left alone or only given some small tweaks centered around DH/Crit and Battle Litany/Life Surge. But they recently announced a full rework IS coming in 6.2

As a DRG main, I also personally felt that dragoon is perfect to play and the only things that have ever annoyed or bothered me was things that were at the end of the day, me as a player failing in that moment, and not actual problems with the job (like jumps locking you in place and perhaps because of this you eat a p4s sword).

So what is the deal here? Are the developers really just ignoring the entire playerbase of this job and changing it despite protestations?

A lot of people are saying 6.2. I read DRG and AST adjustments as being postponed. (~1:10:30 on the video)

[nezumiku]

they will be in the scope of 6.2 as a whole, but not at 6.2 launch.

Aren't they supposed to be struggling for resources right now with some of the team for 14 working on 16? Why would they make more work for themselves if the community said that everything was fine?

They're definitely not struggling. They're continuing to create the usual content AND clean up the old AND add new stuff like the Variant Dungeon.

its because its perfect. i mean i love it so much right now. wouuldnt mind if it stays like that forever.
but they think its too busy with too many ogcds. thats one point i love about dragoon so im worried anout it too.
the second point is.... its at a point wjere they cant add something new to it without button bloat (i wouldnt care i have enough buttons, but many disagree with that).
what will they add in 7.0? people wanna have new skills... and for some its boring to play the exact same job for years.

i mean these players could just change to another job but thats not how they think

I agree. They've probably got their eye on the single target rotation for a little condensing of buttons. There are also 5(?) different damage buffs.

Machinists warned everyone. Then the healers spoke up. Crafting was hard nerfed. Tanks said things were getting homogenous. Summoners and monks started to realize things were wrong. Samurai was lucky it wasn't butchered too much. Dragoon is next. Ninja might be in trouble, if this keeps up.

We are all doooomed....

Seriously. Get a grip will you?

How about you WAIT , then see what is going to be done, THEN you may grab sackcloth and ashes. Or not.

PATIENCE.

Oh good GRIEF...

This forum IS NOT THE ENTIRE PLAYERBASE and never will be.

It's a review of what is happening, not a doom and gloom scenario.

This is a video game. If it fails, people will simply do other things.
