#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aword3213]

Why do I check this thread every so often? Well, since you know my posting history so well, you should know that I've already answered that question!

It's hard to know if you really answered anything since you're posts are very confusing for me to read and understand. Oftentimes the flip flop positions and the inconsistency behind logics make it really hard to deciper the meaning behind them.

like this

There's simply nothing to be "challenged" to begin with. Making things up to have a reason to challenge someone just isn't worth the time to bother with.

However, I did specifically challenge someone in another thread to prove something they said about me and then stuck around to see what response I received - the result? Yeah, none...

-----

Look at how large this thread is. I'm not reasonably going to go back and try to recall what page I last posted something on just to see if someone responded. I hope you don't seriously expect people to watch every post they made into eternity on the off-chance someone eventually says something in response.

ikr. How convenient, isn't it?

Always missed out the well-constructed disagreement, even when it's right above or below your latest posts

This is the first thread where I specifically challenged two people to directly respond to a claim they made. After a few days, one of them is yet to be seen, and the other refused (aka couldn't). If you're wondering why I don't actively follow every single post I make to see who responds

You reversed the cause and effect though.

The reason I quoted your post in other thread because you brought your disputes to other places. I intend to lure it to the right place. I think if you wanted to debate ""you must be bad at healing" part, you should do it here.

I gave a logical reply to that and provided someone new to this thread with information.

logical? That's your personal opinion, and I believe it's up for debate

Out of curiosity...should I end with a challenge? What makes you so attached to my posts that you keep coming back and replying specifically to me, attempting to track my post history, and so on? Why not just use the block feature and be done with it? See how that goes?

Like I said, bury your head in the sand.
No, thanks. I won't block anyone because no one can hurt me online. I'm well protected by the anonymity graciously granted to me by the internet. I was just wondering what's behind the mask of a person who constantly claim disagreement as attacks and then pull out victim card. Anyway, I’ll rest my case for now Since I already got the answer I wanted out of you.

For what it's worth, though, most of the comments I make have no reason to follow up on. Practically everything I post is my personal opinion, and I openly describe it as such.

[Revash]

Oh look, another oracle who can apparently predict the future and also read the devs' minds. This "reading between the lines" is completely made up because they have never made any "stance" clear. Hell, they have recently openly admitted that they went too far with job simplification. Unless they come out and say something, all we have is speculation, so please stop treating said speculation as fact just because it fits with your opinion.

That and their minds clearly change. Remember how they told us they would never release 2 DPS in an expansion again? Yeah, about that...

Of course nobody can predict "accurately to 100%" the future. But you can analyze the trends. This strike didn't pop up from nowhere and some healers have been writting the same old feedback for what? Years?
So if in 5-6 years(or however long people have been unhappy) and SE still hasn't budged. Well "An absence of an answer is also an answer" and people will get the hint eventually...

The failure point can be avoided while designing healing as an interesting role but SE is going about it in the wrong way.

Give healing potions their own cooldown separate from stat potions.

Give parties a way to resurrect healers in group content. Healers would retain the ability to resurrect any party member. Just as Dynamis is the explanation for LBs, it can be the explanation for being able to rez a healer when tanks and DPS shouldn't have that ability.

Then when the healer goes down, the healer can be brought back up right away. DPS would have their healing potion on hand to sustain them until the healer is able to resume healing. Tank mitigation continues to be their form of sustain.

If the party can get the healer up, tank and DPS don't need any powerful tools for self healing. Tanks would naturally retain their mitigation abilities. DPS would retain other utility to buff party damage or debuff the boss but would not infringe on the healer role beyond the very minor self-healing of Second Wind and Bloodbath.

The healer role can be made interesting without putting undue pressure on a party as the only guaranteed failure point in the event of death.

Personally would go for giving Healers their own emergency buttons like tanks have, with varying levels of flavor. Let White Mage just rez themselves every once in a long while.

That said, the suggested duty action or LB style action for everyone may be easier to balance- content wise. You can have it enabled in lower end content where you don't want fights to be overly stressful for any one person and their individual skill level (or turnip level)... and then totally disable it for higher end content where it's the expectation that every party member will be fully capable of handling math problems while juggling assorted fruit and reciting Mark Antony's speech.

PLD didn't have a single ogcd/inherent heals for a decade. Look at it now.

Things can change.

I think the PLD issue could be covered because the other tanks were not that bad? the issue for healers infects virtually the entire job class.

The PLD example was meant to illustrate how things can change in FF, even after they were unchanged for years. As a counterpoint to suggestions the devs have long since made up their mind about healers.

Im sorry for all the disabled players i see posting around, but no video game can survive catering to a small minority when it is at the expense of a majority.
You should expect that you will not be able to enjoy most of the game's content. That's just how it is and no one can fix it.

Im glad that you can and have enjoyed the game to the extent that you can. Later content will naturally be harder, and not exactly more of the same striking dummy difficulty.

I totally disagree with you, devs should just put accessibility options for them. While I understand it's not possible to do it for higher end content, I don't see what harm it would cause for 99% of the game if it existed. I don't see how someone whould mind at all in normal content if you could use some options to make the game more accessible with a simplified rotation mode for example.

The danger with a system like this is that a lot of players would end up walling themselves into casual content by crutching the simple rotation mode and being unable to leave their comfort zone. It would create a much larger gap to bridge between casual content and high end content.

I think a better solution would be to add a dungeon "story mode", playable with duty support, where you essentially have hallowed ground up for the entire duration of the dungeon but receive 0 EXP, loot or tomes. If people are only here for the story and don't want to engage with battle content in any meaningful way, they could do that, and just do a few sidequests here and there to make up for lost EXP.

With all respect possible to disabled players, there are tons of single players options that cater to their specific needs. Let's not destroy a multiplayer game with those kinds of things. I do NOT want someone who can't perform the basics of their role to be carried through terrible systems, and end up in dungeons with other players.

If you are not disabled I don't think you should decide in their place.
