Please don't change Viper

[RinCv]

Not a single person offered usable and meaningful feedback to this job and this dev team has lifted the curtain on how they listen to feedback by announcing these changes.

The majority of the playerbase does not have the job at level 100. The majority of the playerbase has not done a single piece of meaningful combat content with it.

The changes they are making have nothing to do with the job and everything to do with the nomad crybabies who don't want to learn and take a nibble on every job.

They don't care about the feedback from people who play the job. We've known this for a long time now, but this time they really aren't hiding it.

They can go play RPR, who can hold positionals and has a way slower rotation... or a healer because pressing glare over and over again might be the skill level they are at. Just because you don't want to be arsed to learn a new job or can't play it optimally doesn't mean you need to ruin it for everyone. Might as well make savage and ultimate more accessible/brain dead too. I'm legit going to quit the game if Savage/FRU is bad because the only saving grace of dawntrail is the fight design so far.

I legit quit in 5.4 and only came back for Viper being like 4.4 MNK, so I did absolutely put my money where my mouth is and dropped the game for over four years. At this point I think we need a Melee DPS strike to get some real attention here. Now that the story is disappointing people, and the expansion has a mixed reception on Steam, the people who defended all the egregious lore violations that happened from SHB through EW no longer have a "feelings" shield for DT to hide behind. I say we review bomb the hell out of the expansion directly into the negative until this gets changed and do something to get some real attention on the issue. Might as well get on that now and get at least the kind of attention the Healer Strike did, and get content creators talking about it, rather than waiting for Savage, since the x.05 patches are coming soon with more simplification and we might as well get out in front of that if we're going to have any kind of impact.

I have zero problem quitting again and going back go Guild Wars 2 until and unless this problem is appropriately resolved. They have a better decoration system coming in their upcoming August expansion anyway, which I'm looking forward to. My husband works in game dev so I can ask him how he'd fix issues with this game, and if he could make a video on that.
