Things that need to change for the better

[Dubont]

You guys need to understand, that the devs will make their own work and not what you expect. Some of the players are happy with the changes, because the game is now much more playable. Each class is a lot more challenging to play. Like the game or stop playing, but please stop to spam the forums with your nonsense whining. Nothing changed about the DoM classes but you have to handle with MP now, what the heck is wrong with that?! They cant create a perfect games for all users and what you do will only bring them out of their concept.

just letting you know...the "nonsense whining" is what got Yoshi-P in the job position that he is now. Our "nonsense whining" is what gave us content. Our "nonsense whining" is what is going to bring this game from a 4.0 to a decent 7.5-8.0 Without "whiners" this game would still be in terrible shape.

Do you honestly think without the "nonsense whining" these updates wouldn't have happened? You think they would have left the game without content forever?

i wonder if some people have ever read what yoshi claims the game shoulda had at launch
i don think any ammount of whining dictated that opinion he had, its just what he believed we shoulda had, and what hes working on giving us

The player survey was a strong indicator they already knew in what direction they were taking things. Their questions were very specific and gave the impression that they had already decided on a course but they wanted to know what possibilities within that general scope that the players would like to see.

I'm sure the initial complaints and reviews were a strong push to change the game but, when it comes to the actual specific changes we are now seeing, I agree with Vedis. Yoshi-P already knew exactly where he wanted this game to go.

Without the whining, Tanaka would still be in...the combat system wouldn't have change, we wouldn't have jobs incoming, stats wouldn't be in the process of being changed, SP would still be on a point per hit basis and the art style would most likely still be as bland as it was in beta.

i'm pretty sure he hasn't been reading responses...

oh I've been reading them yet no one has given any explanation as to how you can get 10 rebirths in a hour =)

Are you serious??? I didnt even ask anyone and I hardly ever play DoM classes. I figured this out in about 5minutes.



This is what I mean when you have to re-evaluate your skill sets. The fact that even with the jobs that you have leveled up you can actually achieve this. C'mon Dubont lets just think a little harder now!

I've noticed from clearing the r50 raids 10+ times is that the emnity algorithm Is a bit off. For example the enmity on the ogre boss is completely different than Batraal using the same abilities/spells. Doing cure I on the ogre after that tank provokes and taunts should not make a healers hate meter go from nothing to yellow period... Cure II yes, cure I absolutely not and cure III obviously red. I can do a SacIII or a CureIII on Batraal right at the start and it will only be green which should also be adjusted.

It's not balanced, however it's easily possible to kill the bosses. You just need to adapt to the changes. I'll give you a hint on what will help on the Ogre if no one else already said this. If your whole party has contagion.. The THM ability.. Have them all equip it. It will transfer all the enfeebling effects from the ghosts onto the boss weakening him.

So you got enfeebling from contagion. You should also have a true enfeebler/dot caster. That's double enfeebles right there. Also THMs absorb spells/initiation transfers those spells to the tank giving him even more def,eva,acc,atk etc. That's less heals for your healers. May I also suggest you use roaming soul sacIII on your tank right before the portal spawns the boss. That should help a bit I would think.

As for if you were to wipe and run back. I would suggest having the tank run down the right ramp with sacIII on him as well as any type of magic def and physical def buff. He should have his cureIII button ready. As for the rest of your party, they should run down the left ramp with all their buffs. Have one of your casters chainspell stoneskin back to back while the other focus on heals. If you need to use Curaga, I would suggest using soughspeak beforehand. Then just get back into your positions. There's many ways you can do this and trust me it's completely possible but it's best to take competent players.

If you're having a mp management issue. Cast what you need to then go passive, it's not hard. Rinse repeat.

Hope that helps you. Good luck!

Distant and challenging goals.
I'm talking about stuff like:
Chocobo license.
Airship license.
Advanced Jobs.
AF armor.
Zones and dungeons restricted by long quest line.
Secret bosses.

It's what really bothered me about the game on its release in the first place. No physical goals. Nothing to work towards.

[Dubont]
