Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[sindriiisgaming]

This is effectively what the lead designer of this game told Healers in the latest live letter.

Consider if he had said that about your role (tank / dps) for a second and how you would feel.

Forget the leveling experience, it doesn't matter.

Forget dungeons up to 90, they don't matter.

Forget normal raids, EX's, and Savage, they don't matter.

If you want your job to be engaging, play Ultimate, the hardest content in the game that only a few percentage of actual players do.

Engagement shouldn't be either 0% or 100%. It shouldn't be either braindead easy in 95% of content or pull your hair out in the hardest thing the game offers.

The same basic damage rotation from level 4 to level 90 (A 30s dot and a filler spell) is not acceptable gameplay or game design.

Edit:

Yoshi-P's statement is about as tone deaf as the Lead Designer of WoW flat out saying they didn't want players playing a certain DPS spec. (Language warning)

Background: Instead of properly balancing a certain DPS spec, the WoW devs nuked it to the ground so people would play other things.

Sound familiar?

so i watched what he said and youve definetly taken him out of context here.

what he said was
"if you are comparing the 5.4 raid to 6.0 then you are comparing a tier III wing with tier I. tier I is designed to be easier while people adapt to the new jobs and learn rotations, we want as many as possible to clear it.
he said if still after the final fight of tier III you are not finding healing challenging, then yes ultimate is probabbly the next course for you.

to many people in this game play healer wanting to do as little healing as as much dps as possible, but you are a healer.. not a dps green or red. and if you dont enjoy healing, why are you playing it. the amount of dps healers do right now is proportionate to what they should be doing, if youre wanting to see healers doing more dps than tanks and dps themselves i think youre living in coocoo land.

prefix > im not saying the state of healing or jobs rn is ok. sage is a very good step in the right direction with its heals being dps relevant. i want to see all healers functioning that way, not because i want to do gigachad dps... but because i want the job to keep me awake
