If doing content with the current action rotation is considering boring, it isn’t an issue with what we have. It’s YOU that’s bored. Yoshi-P won’t reveal any of the changes until the Fan Festival. I’m fine with the job rotations we have now as it gets the job done. I have 0 issues with it.

Cool, others have issue with it though.

YOU is part of WE, mind you.

Players have different perceptions of the content. This is in any kind of game... now, if there's a growing number of people dissatisfied with the status quo, it may be a problem for them. It's up to the company to see if they want to act upon it which may be a change of paradigm, like... talking (not revealing) about the changes before the Fanfests, for example, which can be seen as some sort of damage control.

Yoshi-P is going to talk about 8.0 in the future, and will not mention it before a 8.0 reveal because that WILL steal the thunder for the rest of the Patch 7.x cycle. For the graphics upgrade, we were shown that before 7.0, but it was a necessity because it affects everything in the game. Job identity is an aspect and feature for future game content, but it’s not in the same category as how the graphics needed to be upgraded.

Spoiler: 8.0 was already in the planning stages before 7.0 released, because that's how live service game development works. By the time they start actually showing any part of 8.0, the majority of the bones will be set because they need to get to work on finalizing the concrete details for the rest of the patch cycle.

How much is he paying you so we get once more presented with done deals even if they suck?

I don't want to see what is the PLD new shiny gauge or how BLM will get a fourth polyglot stack because that's going to be the main resource for a new void rotation...

I just want communication on a more philosophical level. Let us know what issues you think the game has, let us know what kind of direction you plan. Nothing concrete, I just want to understand what those game designers are thinking.

They can do such a thing without spoiling anything, and if they're good with it, people will actually look forward to something in 8.0.

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Didn't they also used to speak about jobs way more prior to implementations? If so, where's that degree of communication nowadays? Do they need people to praise them for creating StB Lilies to go back to that? Lmao.

Hard not to be bored when you can clear a fight on, say, SCH and swap to any other healer and have zero learning curve to clear again.

If you're fine with the kits as they are right now, good for you, but not everyone is happy with everything that has been removed from the job kits over the years.

"just wait until fanfest" "just wait until launch" "just wait until next patch" "oops cant make any changes now because that would steal the thunder of the rest of the expansion so just wait for fanfest"
