Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

[Jeeqbit]

Seems good news for all the people wanting Viera and Hrothgar hats and more customization.

I liked the response that didn't seem to deny that some Dawntrial content can be compared to Eureka and Bozja. But it's vague and all we know of for sure is a different take on deep dungeons and a social version of Island Sanctuary-like content.

As for more inventory space, I just want an explanation of why they can't use Amazon cloud servers for it if they want a scaling amount of drive space for things such as a currency inventory or unlimited glamour dresser space, even if we can only access it at an Inn.

Apparently Yoshi P answered questions.

It's sadly just not the changes we actually need. Like shortening the patch cycle, fixing savage loot unlock, increasing the longevity of content and improving the combat system. Its not what we really need for DT honestly and I can't see this game lasting more than 5 years if nothing is done

Does the average player actually care about healer design enough to make it the one thing they think to ask about?

Ideally smarter inventory space and QoL space, I don't need more exactly.. as much as I want space that 'just works'. Like helping me keep it organized, so I don't have the same material across three different inventory systems lol, or not having to deal with as many tokens and baits, etc.

At bare minimum I would like some kind of system that can run a check through all of your inventories for duplicates, even if it's as brute-forceish as an automated process running an /isearch check on every item in the inventory and then informing the player of any items that were found in multiple locations.

I feel like they could also do some kind of "pseudo glamour log" thing this way that doesn't remember things permanently, just searches everything you currently have and displays it in some kind of interface so you can easily see things like what pieces you own from a particular dungeon.

On a side note, much as inventory management is not good in this game, playing other games can show you that it could always be worse. I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 lately (as have a lot of people) and the inventory is basically all the downsides of this one but none of the helpful aspects. Each party member has their own inventory, you can't search, can't rearrange, there's no armoury chest, the gameplay constantly hands you more items and picking up too many things will restrict your character to walking speed until they lighten their pack. No glamour, either.

Ya serious? This game isn't gonna die anywhere close to 5 or even 10 years from now. Does it have issues that need addressing? Yes. Without a doubt. But it is not in """Maintenance Mode""" like some folks love to believe it is. It's not on its deathbed. It's doing fine. It had a rough expansion, that doubled down on some bad design choices. That is where it fucked up, that is where I hope they learn from. Should they fix these issues? Again, yes, absolutely. Buuuut...the game is gonna keep on chugging just fine for a good long while.

Anyways, onto the actual thread.

Q: YoshiP, I am kind of a cat person

A: Unfortunate, I like wolves

This killed me. It killed me, my FC, my discord group that has people who don't even know who YoshiP is. Just...god damn. Everything else feels...boilerplate. But whatever, I got a hearty laugh. So I'm good.

That's a whole lot of nothing i guess. No gameplay is mentioned at all.

[MAJRIS]

The fact the information has to come back through amateur reddit translators is just rubbing salt into the wound.

As I said to Sebazy – does the average player care enough about the details of gameplay to make that the one burning question they will ask about? I suspect it is not. Certainly it would be low down the list of things I would think of to ask.

That would depend if you consider an experienced, competent healer main that understands the game's systems to a decent level an 'average player'. Sadly the role is so shallow at this point that I suspect the 'average player' doesn't go down the rabbit hole far enough to realise just how bad a state it's in right now.

And yes, I imagine it's low down on your list because you've not gotten to the point of realising it's an issue yet (Even though you have experienced it).
