Carbuncle for Summoners!

[Malamasala]

So...if we start new threads asking for it every week, maybe there could be plans in the future? Carby is the pet we use for 30 levels, on our way to smn. So we just dump our first love? >:P

Doesn't work. I did that in FFXI for spirits. Took 5 years for them to act, and when they did they completely ignored the problem and solutions presented and just changed it randomly to see if it helped, which it didn't.

Sometimes I wonder if any English feedback actually reaches them without being garbled to something else in the translation process.

Hello,

We confirmed with the Battle team that there are currently no plans to allow summoners to call forth carbuncle.

Thank you for pointing out that the summoner in this game has nothing to do with the actual Final Fantasy series at all and making this game more of a theme park run of the mill off of World of Warcraft. At least classes in that game actually relate to the series that it came from originally.

I've said it before and I will say it again:

I really don't mind the "Egi" designs as much as other people do. What really bothers me is that the job isn't even a Summoner. The pets are just a little helper that does some additional damage or tanks when solo, while the main job is keeping up and manipulating DoT spells. We're Warlocks from WoW.

I use titan when I solo. I would like to use ifrit when there are no other melee with the tank but then again it's not the dev its the players that are doing this.

This could be achieved by adding a passive buff to each primal that affects all party members within X yalms of the summon. Thus way certain primal would be more appropriate for certain situations or certain party compositions.

For example, Ifrit-egi automatically adds a 5% physical damage increase to all party members near it. This would make Ifrit worth summoning in a melee-dense party.
Likewise, Garuda would grant a 5% magic damage buff and Titan would grant a 5% defense buff.

the Egi's are so screwy in this game. Because there is no longer that 'elemental wheel' the Egi's are so limited and restricted to Dps/tank class instead of just being elemental power. They plan to throw in a couple more Egi's in the future, but how different are they going to be? I'd rather not replace my pets but be able to use them all.

This.
They really are just different skins for dps. They decided the elemental stuff doesn't matter in this game and that's a shame. Especially for blms.

Oh well this sucks. Would've loved more variety in terms of what I can summon. That and carbuncle looks cute and like an actual summon.

[Blackcanary]

I'm Sorry that is some ball crap right there Carbuncle is a damn summon so as a summoner we should be able to summon him. You need to listen to ur player base on this. Stop screwing up the Summoner and the egis I hate to think what Shiva egi will look like i think at that point i will stop using summoner altogether because of this pulley thought out class when it comes to the look and ability's of the summon and the use of them in party's..
