DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[DRKoftheAzure]

Maybe we would get a response if we went to all the main cities and cast Salted Earth around the aetherytes.

Doubt it...

The only way we will possibly get a response is to keep threads like this going. It hasn't been too effective so far, but giving up and shutting up DEFINITELY will not get a response.

The thing with these devs is if you want a response they only look at statistics. The devs here just can't be bothered to feasibly communicate with their community on the official forums they made. Sad.

Well if they're looking at statistics we're in luck because the statistics show us being in the gutter. Hell you could make a whole thread breaking down the statistics from 4.0's launch to now. I never wrote anything down, but I remember looking through fflogs for the exact moment at which WAR started surpassing DRK in usage, and I believe it was around the first week of August? DRK started out being used more than WAR, but was never far ahead, but maintained its lead up until late August. This was looking at 2-week intervals snapshotted from individual days, i.e August 15th and the preceding 2 weeks, August 16th and the preceding 2 weeks, and so on. At that point not only did WAR continue to in usage but DRK usage also saw a marked downward turn. Both were seeing about 20K+ parse uploads, and WAR continued to trend upwards of that, and DRK fell to about 18K over the next few 2-week intervals.

Just dipping through the forum pages, the last few weeks of July and into August was where we saw the biggest surplus of WAR feedback threads and replies on them. IDK, make of this what you will. Fix DRK SE.

For Omega Savage... Here is the period where people started using WAR more:
Warrior Aug 21 - Sep 4 65.3 68.7 24,690
Warrior Aug 20 - Sep 3 65.2 68.5 24,422
Warrior Aug 19 - Sep 2 65.1 68.5 24,252
Warrior Aug 18 - Sep 1 65.0 68.4 24,166
Warrior Aug 17 - Aug 31 64.9 67.8 23,988
Dark Knight Aug 21 - Sep 4 62.2 65.2 24,345
Dark Knight Aug 20 - Sep 3 62.2 65.2 24,215
Dark Knight Aug 19 - Sep 2 62.1 65.2 24,235
Dark Knight Aug 18 - Sep 1 62.2 65.2 24,201
Dark Knight Aug 17 - Aug 31 62.1 64.9 24,199

And leading up to the patch...
Warrior Sep 30 - Oct 14 66.6 70.9 25,408
Warrior Sep 29 - Oct 13 66.8 70.9 25,594
Warrior Sep 28 - Oct 12 67.0 70.2 25,729
Warrior Sep 27 - Oct 11 66.9 69.9 25,882
Dark Knight Sep 30 - Oct 14 61.9 65.5 19,281
Dark Knight Sep 29 - Oct 13 62.1 65.5 19,441
Dark Knight Sep 28 - Oct 12 62.2 65.1 19,506
Dark Knight Sep 27 - Oct 11 62.4 64.9 19,934

Not so sure about that, we've got this ignored neat and tidy package of feedback compared to front pages being spammed with little complexity other than being upset. Seems like recognition is only out of a necessary response to outrage, the devs feel more like they fix things as a PR move than anything.

Just becuse I have seen a few people say that dark knight complaints are only recent I went back to find the earliest complaint post I could find: June 1st found my answer. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-in-Stormblood

[Chrono_Rising]

We are over a week past 4.1; how frequently is dark being brought into raid settings compared to the other tanks in the past week?
WAR: 12,770
PLD: 16,117
DRK: 8,790

Every week it seems like we see less and less dark knights running savage content. Something needs to be done.

[DRKoftheAzure]

New raid is out and conditions for unlocking are going to be very difficult for DRK mains... Well DRK playerbase is definitely going to drop now because of the pre-requisites of unlocking Unending Coils of Bahamut in 1 week, ESPECIALLY if some DRK mains are trying to get into the Savage mode content...

[TabrisOmbrelame]

I was expecting much from the 4.11... Just a few bug resolved and a new raid... Don't know what to think... It seems that the difficulty is higher and higher but Drk stand still... We need some serious power up if we want to be a match for other tanks
