Beastnaster feedback post-release

[Kisshu]

I wonder if it would have helped if we'd be able to "take" Crucible equipment out with us as some kind of offhand weapon.
Say you get equipment there that hastens TP generation and equip it.
Could have made for some really fun combinations and would have made for a nice goal to grind.

BST still has much potential and I hope they don't ignore it like BLU. Both need bigger updates far more often.

They could have done this with the upgraded BST gear, even have different upgrade paths so people could design the type of gear they wanted. But instead we get the most generic STR and VIT increase.

Damn that would have been a good idea. Make it so you can switch before you go to a floor. Adds another layer of strategy.

My 2 biggest problems with BST is
1. Forced Instance that is no better than Masked Carnivale. I don't want to do it.
2. If I don't do it I'm stuck with lower level weapons.

It honestly makes me not want to play the job. like at all. I don't care how much fun capturing beasts is.

If I had to rate this job, I would give BST 1 star.
Neither of BLU nor BST justify them being limited jobs. Not even a little bit. you could stand to take a better look at FFXI for why I believe that.
at this point I wish I didn't unlock BST.
Yeah I know some, probably most of you are loving this job but this is a feedback thread so. there is my feedback.

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about because you spent 2 paragraphs being factually incorrect. So yes, the audacity. If you wanna form an opinion on something the bare minimum would be to actually inform yourself as best you can and you clearly didn't do that.

So yes, the audacity. And yet here you are yapping some more instead. Somtimes it's best to just say nothing. You don't *have* to have an opinion on everything lol.

Ooh, looks like I struck a nerve somewhere.

Explain to me where I've been factually incorrect. About how BLU was at launch? Or how people find fault in BST as it is now and has room for improvement? Or how factually incorrect I am about how I feel regarding the RNG and whether or not the rewards felt worth it for me? This may come as a shock to you, but people are fully capable of forming an opinion on something when they see enough discussion and shared experiences describing it (kind of like how BST is the biggest topic of these forums right now), and bad RNG on instanced beasts is something I've seen brought-up by several other players. So there's a pity system to grind for individual beasts? Great. They're learning. Still sucks that bad RNG is still a thing at play. Is that your only complaint? That I was factually incorrect in my opinion about the potential RNG of the capture system? That everyone who experienced it must have just imagined it?

Would it take me hopping-on and playing BST and likely still coming to the same conclusions as other players here regarding it's gameplay to shut you up? Or are you just here to yap to someone with an opinion you don't agree with? Maybe take your own advice and decide that it's best to say nothing if you have nothing to actually contribute either. "lol"

After playing around with BST (collected all the critters, working on crucible) I.... don't think this needed to be an entire job, limited or not. The primary focus of the job is on the crucible, and solely the crucible, to the point clearing it is required simply to progress the job's storyline. They could have easily just put in the crucible as its own thing, especially since they are so intent in their focus that the entire design of the job revolves around crucible to the point it doesn't even have role actions. Or any form of aggro management - aside from in the crucible. Or any healing worth actually using - just the potions and such you get... in the crucible.


This did not need to be a whole job.

In Crucible there really needs to be a warning\confirmation box for "Are you SURE you want to enter the battle with NO PETS ASSIGNED?"

It does? If you try to go in with fewer than the maximum monsters allowed for the Crucible and if you try to start a combat encounter with no Battlehorns assigned, it gives warnings you have to say Okay to before it'll send you in.

Just more yapping from someone who doesn't know what he's taking about lol. Uninformed opinions are useless and not worth reading, bye.

It does, but I really wish there was like a second confirmation cuz my dumbass keeps mashing through and not realizing I don't have my pets until I am in. I want to stress, I know it's on me, and at times I just tanked it and did the fight petless, but damn I could use a secondary confirmation or five...

How many confirmations would be required before a person will fully accept that they were given prior warning?
