#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ASkellington]

It basically has been from the beginning when the strike didn't start on early access but official release, when people wanted to join the strike, except when they were healing for their FC, static or leveling other healing jobs. When the live letter before DT release came and nobody was flooding the chat with the #healerstrike.

This never was a strike because nobody wanted to commit to it.

This thread did what it needed to do: which was get media attention because the dev team wanted to ignore these issues for years hoping it would go away. Plenty of people have brought up not only the Strike when it first happened but even after the hype died down still made a few videos afterwards.

And its not like it hasn't made an impact. A lot of veteran healers have left - either to go back to WoW, to quit the game entirely, or to pick up a class from the other roles that they enjoyed more and said screw the healing role. Those that would queue for DF for randoms have stopped and only do so for friends/static. Those who would help with PF clears, the same.

People have stopped playing healer and it was noticable enough to get attention. Just not enough for the dev team to make a comment on it. Big whoop, nothing new.

For my part I haven't even cleared 7.0 (on this character) because I need to level a class I'd like to play to finish the final trial cause I can't do it with trusts. I've played AST maybe twice in PvP since DT dropped and the only reason I'm considering to drop my own personal vow is to heal Chaotic and see if its worth it (it probably isn't).

At no point was it agreed upon we'd wall queues across the board and flood the live letter with #HEALERSTRIKE (it was strongly DIScouraged actually) to be a disruptive force. This was basically a peaceful protest where people could commit however much they wanted to not unlike a donation.

Well we will just see what happens now. They are kind of at the same situation they were last expansion with the fitst tier recpetion per say and now are they gonna go the route of abyssos again or save that for the last tier? Or do Anabaseios first and then abyssos for difficultly in the last one?

And I'm they taken noticed. Remember they were silent on whm lilies in stb for 2 years before shb. I'm sure it's more they don't know where to go.

The way people in this thread are still lying to themselves. There was zero media attention that would make any dev go "huh, maybe we should change something".

You're lying to yourself if you think that no one noticed the strike. It's been covered by many gaming journalists and youtubers. Yeah, it's probably not going to get the attention of the dev team as much as we've hoped, but that doesn't make it a lie to say that people are talking about this.

We definitely know that the dev team is aware of the strike, because the streamers that Yoshi P says he watches have touched on the topic.

What's uncertain though, is whether or not the dev team cares about the growing discontent.

1001 pages without any comment from SE... You have your answer.

Don’t they say ‘No news is good news?’

Just because the devs haven’t formally acknowledged the issues publicly doesn’t mean they aren’t aware of it. I mean, we have absolutely no evidence to suggest that they’re fully aware and simply don’t care.

For all we know Yoshi-P could be working those two guys in his basement to the bone trying to resolve the feedback. But then, there’s not exactly evidence for/against the inverse either, so it’s not like there’s no probability of that being true lol

*look at the last Job Skill update*.
Nope they don't care.

I mean, at least they got something during the last update; phys ranged didn’t even get mentioned in the notes section lol. A whole 100 MP off aoe shields! It’s what we always wanted (sarcasm lol)

Addendum: not to suggest that what they have done isn’t woefully inadequate but like they might be doing something lol

I would be surprised if they aren't aware of it. As you say there's no evidence to say that they don't care and it's silly to say --->last job updates "guys hey they don't care". They're very slow to doing major changes to healers and tanks and they don't communicate their plans until they know what they're doing, so in this case IF they will make changes, we might not know for , what, another year?

I would take it as a positive sign, in a few months we get some indication of plans for reworks, and at that points I don't even expect details.
