7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[OgruMogru]

When I was in primary school, a boy used to chase me down and touch/cradle my face every playtime - I used to have anxiety attacks because I knew I was gonna spend the next 20 minutes of play time running away from this freak. The inevitability of Wuk is giving me the exact same feeling. Absolute dread.

"You're walking in Kozama’uka
There's no one around And your tomestone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye you spot her..... Wuk Lamat"

Burst out laughing at work reading this, but you're not wrong this is sort of how it feels. I see her in the screencaps and I'm immediately put off.

For the poeople saying that up to 7.3 is locked in, Yoshi-P had an interview this month at PAX Australia where he seems to be saying the opposite.

The other factor was Wuk Lamat. She’s a very complex character, and she even has a bit of a complex about herself. Unfortunately, we didn’t delve very far into the background of why she had those feelings, so it appeared as if she left a negative impression. We accept that feedback. I feel a little sorry that we weren’t able to properly depict her. We may have been able to make her more straightforward, so we’re pushing her in the forefront as this character. But again, we’re going to be reflecting that learning into [content patch 7.1] and onward, we’re hoping that we can show more of what makes Wuk Lamat so great, and I’m hoping that we can regain from there.

Seems like they have decided that the players who dislike Wuk Lamat are wrong and only don't like her because she wasn't given proper development, so they intend to angle 7.1 and onward to correct that by having more of her.

And this is what I don't like, they took lyse out of the way when they saw she was having a negative impact on the reviews but they can't do the same with wuk lamat it seems pathetic to me.

I think that she was always going to become the leader of something, one way or another. It seemed like she would be involved in the leadership of Ala Mhigo, but there was a more experienced and confident individual from Ala Mhigo to do that - Raubahn. We'd probably be complaining about the plothole of not making Raubahn leader if they hadn't done so.

So they made her a military leader instead. And if you consider all the events of Stormblood itself, such as her relationship with Conrad, it makes a whole lot more sense that she continue his work on the military since that's what he wanted. That plot was setup in the expansion itself as if it were planned all along. As a practitioner of the Monk arts it makes a lot of sense that she train at Rhalgr's Reach, the ancient home of the Monks.

She did actually continue being in some of the patches, just like Wuk Lamat is. And just like Lyse, Wuk Lamat will likely not continue being in the story much once we're done with the New World. But we'll see of course.

I don't advocate for people getting fired too often, but... If they truly believe this, then everyone in management in the FFXIV team should be fired yesterday. Once you start treating your customer as if you know better on what they should want and you willingly ignore their complaints, you've lost your place in the circle of business.

Having been on the receiving end of a MMO that did just that in response to something player's practically begged for over eight years, I'm forced to agree.

This post feels akin to those ladies who walk into a walmart and demand everyone be fired because they didn't have what they wanted in the store.
