Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

I dont even care about glamour plates primarily, I need more glamour dresser space.

TLDR it's true that your average player doesn't care as much as you might think because they believe healer jobs are intimidating anyway.

I think that's quite possible, although another factor that might lead to low healer numbers is the tendency for "adventurer in need" icons to display tank most frequently (even when actually queuing might reveal a queue for tanks and an instant pop for healers) leading to the general mindset that tank is the job that will get you into duties faster. And of course DPS is both naturally popular and comes in more flavours.

If anything, the simplification of healers is probably the devs trying to balance out these factors and get more people playing the role.

This. As much as some extra plates would be nice, my preferred focus for glamour space expansions is to make space in the dresser so I can store and view everything in one place when building outfits, rather than squirrelling it away in different retainers.

Why'd nobody ask him about unrestricted Glamour...?

I like that even if some things aren't a priority atm that they are on a list and that they are at least thinking about these things. Even if they won't get rid or give us an option to hide the mch lunchboxes I would hope that at least one of them would want to decorate them. Samurai's sheaths and Astrologian's card holders have always had different looks to them that went with the look the weapon they use looked like. Even if it might be that the sheath got more attention than the sword most of the time. They still weren't a plain always the same look that Mch's lunchboxes have been since day one.

Katana sheathes (and handles) do get all the fancy design work because the setup doesn't allow for the actual blades to be ornate, but the card holders have less variety than you're assuming. They're treated as individual to each star globe, but it's always the same model, just with a different colour scheme.

Out of that entire QA this is the only question I feel that matters to everyone.

Q: I really liked Eureka and Bozja, really looking forward to the new big field content in DT

A: Thank youuuu, please look forward to it!


I have 0 faith in the Viera and Hrothgar hat updates. It looks like alot of the resources are being put into the graphics update so I dont expect stuff like inventory, glamor plates, etc will be updated until 7.1 or 7.2 at the earliest.

[Hyperia]

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

The patch cycle length of 4.5 months is what really is messing things up as the content they are providing is still intended for 3 months and not 4.5 months. That means that raids now last 9 months instead of 6, same with expert dungeons, etc. and for those who say it’s 4 months, it isn’t, look at the release times, there averaging 4.5 months.

If we're in "promise the world stage" and Yoshi is saying "low priority this" "can't do that (mch box)" I fear for what the future holds /s



Respectfully, a lot of "healer issues" come down to bad tanks not using their mitigations properly or completely ignoring potions in low level content (which heal for a massive amount on a low 1m CD) especially with how self sustaining tanks are these days.

Who in the flying F uses potions in low level dungeons when everything is such a face roll?

[Atelier-Bagur]

To be honest the answers are disappointing to me. Most important things have no priority? Wow.
Please be patient? For another 4 years? I think people were already patient enough.

And from his answers we also see that they don't plan a real change in the char creator. It makes no sense not to do it together with the graphical update. It just means that they won't do much. Maybe I am wrong, but for me it sounds like this.

And as a main MCH I really don't like this 'lunchbox'. At least they could make it prettier. ^^"

In games like this, where 'collecting stuff' is one of the main activities, it should be a high priority to find ways that people can do this activity. I've lost interest in collecting glamour, relics and housing items years ago just because of the system. I ran out of space. And I already have 3 additional retainers.

If it's really so hard to add things to the game code, then it would be maybe better to hire a team to rebuild the game from scratch and then give the players the opportunity to transfer all their characters and stuff into the new game.

Its answers like these that I seriously wish we all can just commit and to unsub. I bet once they see the money pool go down theyll start actually hauling ass with the changes people have been asking for years.

It worked for WoW during late Shadowlands as well as Throne and Liberty (to an extent)
