Thread: 3.2 Patch Notes

So SE took an opportunity to make Shuffle "Redraw" unique and amazing.... and instead just made it so you can't draw the same card again.... Yay? Then buffed Ewer an Spire which still don't matter..... SO good job... I guess... (if you ever think those cards will be amazing SE, ask a BRD or MCH how often outside of savage they use Ewer/Spire.... Spoilers, the answer is 1% if you're team is awful)

Then MCH.... We see you'r having issues so lets buff your Hypercharge. SWEET! So if they are going to buff it they gotta buff the duration or CD RIGHT?! +5 more seconds.... nothing done to CD... BUT GAUSS ROUND!.... +20 DPS..... riiiigggghhhhttttt. So basically you guys did nothing to improve MCH, got it. TY for leaving my main in the dark still, really appreciate it.

Well at least they saw potential in Diadem, and said they would give it more rules and adjust it to become a more interesting event, so thats awesome!.... Right? Time Limit Nerf, now when you blow 5-10mins on people trying to get currents, then 3-5 mins farming mobs for star tracks.... you'll have essentially enough tim for 1-2 Star Mobs..... WOW I CAN'T WAIT!.... Not only did you guys do NOTHING to define this system, you made it discouraging to go into HM due to time limits. You couldn't of put in a NM Tier Spawn method where track mobs drop a Key Item that you can use to pop a chain of NMs... ANYTHING MORE THEN JUST KILL MOBS LOTS!? Seriously you guys could of done ANYTHING, and instead, insignificantly tweaked it. I maybe have hope that the changes to star mob spawn conditions will save this system for me, but even then... NOTHING mentioned about ~i230 gear being added? Still bing i210? Waita kill off a system that is a patch old. Now it's worthless to do HM, you might as well farm hard in Easy/Normal to farm materia....

I don't get what you guys are thinking AT ALL anymore. You get a system that finally breaks away from the garbage tome treadmill trash, and 1 set of raid gear from 1 type of raid content that arguably isn't even raid but final dungeon boss fights..... And completely make it irrelevent. Guys wake up, or give the job to someone else, because your community is getting bled out from inconsiderate changes or just actions of doing NOTHING to improve the game.

Don't even get me started on the worthless Training Dummy system, that literally gives you no idea how to improve your rotation AT ALL, and simply says "Pass/Fail" but doesn't even give you an idea if you're extremely optimal, above average, passable... any of that. Doesn't even give you a number and is simply a gesture of saying "See we tried to give you guys something for measuring DPS..." which does nothing and still won't replace player means of measuring DPS and excluding players. Instead of embracing what is already happening, you chose a middle of the road stance that won't be used by raiders anyway when there are better tools to measure more accurately.

Here's to hoping that Sephirot, MSQ, Dungeons, Midas, and the Treadmill won't get boring in 1 month, and if not.... Guess I'll hope SE gets their heads on straight for 3.25/3.3.

If I remember it right, that you can get the same card again with Shuffle was the only complain about it.

Nope here is an example of the complaint is that you get 30s to draw a card, say you roll a Spire, obviously R.R. get AoE. Wait 30s Now you roll again, you get a spear.... meh, roll again, Bole... either drop it or spread it. Wait another 30s, you roll a ewer, obviously you re-roll it, get a spear.... So you eat it because ultimately you want that balance card, given that spear is best for tanks to get their non-GCD cast times down. So you wait another 30s, get Ewer..... reroll it, get an arrow.... now at this point that you've wasted 2 mins of content to do what makes your class unique and why you get a nerf to the amount of healing spells you get in your kit, you can either eat the arrow and hold out for a balance, or just accept your losses, dispense out an arrow and hope people like that GCDs are coming up faster....

That sucks. There are so many other RNG based drawing methods that are far better then this one, and still maintain RNG but keep it useful. If we look at League of Legends, Twisted Fate has a roll system where it cycles through the cards and it is up to the player to reinitialize the card select to choose a card. This way it's still RNG, but it also has a control that the player can be skilled enough to utilize and greatly benefit the party.... Instead.... lets just make it so that the cards can't be redrawn a 2nd time.... waita play it safe and worthless SE, because AST will still continue to be the healer not brought to content because the buffs still don't matter nor can be controlled enough to be useful to a raid.... NICE!
