I'm Frustrated with FFXIV's New Direction

[Havenchild]

Not all bad decisions of SE are because of feedback. That’s just defending their bad decisions.

Really? Cause I can point to a lot of complaints about job design that go all the way back to HW, especially Healer role and people wishing for them to simplify it. I can point to several threads on people saying they should get rid of positionals. Hell we even had a thread saying Viper was too hard compared to the other melee.

All feedback that lead to oversimplification of jobs that guess what, a good chunk of the community doesn't like. So yeah, SE does take player feedback but while there is good feedback, there is also bad feedback. And they tend to take on alot of the bad feedback from people who have no conceptual knowledge of literature or game balance. Even YoshiP has voiced his frustrations with the community on feedback they requested being implemented and still getting blowback for it.

Most people don‘t say Stormblood was good now.

Uh?? Any thread post DT launch that compares Wuk/DT to Lyse/SB have people definitively defending the latter.

If you want to hate DT, go for it. It's all subjective. But the presense of DT and Wuk Lamat does not suddenly undo 6-7 years of the forums dogging on SB MSQ and Lyse. You can literally look up MULTIPLE THREADS on this in the search results on these very forums.

It's still wild to me that people find Viper too hard compared to other melee classes.

All I could think was, "Didn't people have that same opinion of every NEW job that got added to FF14 throughout its entire life?" --- "Isn't Viper simply new?"----- "What is hard about it? Sliding left to right just a hint to hide those positional like a Dragoon player or using True North that a chad?"
