#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Lorika]

Over 6 months and almost 1k pages later, plastered all over social media for a good while, barely anything has been done in terms of healer adjustments or affect queue times and inconveniencing other job mains in DT. I'm in favor of healer improvements, but this "strike" was definitely just all talk since the very beginning. Looking back, it all feels like one big joke that nobody was actually serious about.

The lack of healer is not due to people doing the strike but, people quitting healing and even the game... Because.... Like you said 6 month old thread with near 1000 pages and nothing done at all (even something as simple as saying : "Healer, we hear you")

:slow_claps:

People don't miss it, they just disagree with it.

A strike is intended to disrupt, otherwise it is just hot air. Nobody is taking this serious, not even the "strikers".

NGL I find this post extremely funny for one reason, doing savage for 3 raid tiers and progging a lot in PF, I can safely say, that most of the player base hardly handles what they have now.

Doing re-clears this week and last week has been pure agony especially.

People always "barely handle what they have now"
MMO players always do the bare minimum. This is just something you learn to realize if you've played these games long enough.
If what they're doing works, then all thought stops there. Most people don't care to self analyze or try to improve past "I didn't break any combos, or die to any mechanics."
This was also the case back in Heavensward and Stormblood, and content still got cleared. People adapt or be filtered out of the game. This is just how gaming in general works. But when you appeal to the bare minimum of people who just want to succeed without actually putting in the thought or effort to do so, you have a playerbase with lower investment, meaning it takes far less time to lose interest.
And that's not even pointing out that competent healers are off playing other roles because Healer feels terrible to play unless you're still brand new at it. For me, Healing got old before I even hit max. I think the moment I started to realize that was the fight with (solo duty after beating the final Endwalker Boss)
That was the first time I regretted playing healer.

(solo duty after beating the final Endwalker Boss)

Big climactic finale for a 10 year story arc

SE says 'press Glare/Broil/Dosis/Malefic like 80 times'

Very cinematic and hype-inducing gameplay

We just get to pretend it ended with a Seraph Strike

While it's true that some people can barely handle the current design (saying most players can't handle it is a huge stretch), that doesn't mean that they should keep going with uninspired job design that bores a lot of players.

We shouldn't have 'baby's first healer' design slapped onto every job in the role because Jimmy Freecure struggles with clearing savage with full tome gear 2 months after the tier released.

In theory, you should know how to play your job after playing it for 100 levels worth of content. Too much to ask for some people, I guess.

The playerbase basically becomes exactly as skilled as the job needs them to be. When difficulty is on the floor people will play to the floor. The game gives you no incentive to improve beyond a functional baseline (hell healers as reverse incentive as it’s more fun to play a healer when either you or your party sucks)

If you are a casual healer main/common healer player what incentive do you have to improve beyond medica 2 spam. If you are a savage healer your incentive to improve is to press broil more often, it’s why I stopped healing in savage
