Last straw

[NoctisUmbra]

The moogle primal was probably designed with jobs in mind, so we are playing it without some key abilities. I can note at least one ability on each job list that will make that class perform much better.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the Primals are being designed with jobs in mind.

Imagine Ifrit with Jobs. You'd need 1 PLD and 1 WHM. The rest can be DDs and the close range ones wouldn't have to worry about Sear with PLD's ability that grants regen to nearby allies when he is cured. Not to mention MNK with Fists of Wind would probably out-DPS every other DD lol.

Its not just him when the reason you aint winning is because you aint Arc! XD

But it is sad it comes to this, the developers just dont know how to make a well balanced battle lol.

Or its because players have found a strategy that works and havent spent more grueling hours trying to find other ways to beat the battle. A few ppl Im sure are trying but my guess is not too many.

Blaming the devs is just easier

And to to OP, here is an idea... start your OWN pt to fight the mog, its not that hard to get a pt together. You only need 1 gld? Well there you go you can fill that role. I bet in the time it took to pull up the forums and rant you could have had a full pt of 8

Yeah, you'll find the game is full of elitist asses that refuse to have any kind of interaction with the game that isn't entirely meticulous and technical, It's the same issue of no Primals without materia'd gear, no Ifrit without Sentinel, No Dzamael because durr hard, no high NMs because you can't Emulate any more, etc... it won't stop, what i can say is try and find yourself a nice casual LS that cares more about having fun than about attaining perfect stats, or use the party search tool and in your comment field leave a note that you're looking for a casual/fun experience, every game has elitist, this one is no different, you can only really go around them, they tend to seperate themselves from normal people that like to have fun and close themselves in their little circle-jerk and leave the rest of the world alone.

Again, if you make your own party you won't run into not being accepting into one...All you need to do is have a strategy when you invite and don't just /random it.

SE didn't make these battles with just one particular setup in mind, I can assure you that. Its elitists that like to try and "exploit" or "gimmick" the system who make those "rules".

Do what you want I make my own parties, its not like people don't join, a win is a win. Its all how you sell your strategy.

SE has always had a tendency of doing this, making certain jobs excel at certain things. They never seem to be able to balance it either. Ok, BLM's and RDM's getting invites to everything, we will make mobs resistance to spells and enfeebles! Great, now no one wants them, and full zerg time! Ok, zerg's are too powerful, time to make melee dmg resitant mobs! Ok, no one wants melee now. Back to BLM'S!

They seem to have a hard time of making mobs switch it up mid fight and such. If you have a time limit and mobs fluctuate between immune to phys or magic and I mean immune hard to the point where if you don't do enough dmg they won't revert, people would HAVE to mix it up. Do like some abyssea mobs did, make them absorb physical at certain points, or magic, make them immune to spears, or arrows, or whatever. Just make the mobs adapt.

As for people saying shout for a party, be the Gladiator! Then what, make him get more archer's? It's still the same problem, not to mention shouting in XIV is damn painful. You can be there for hours before you get replies on these fights. It's the same old, you have a good shell, great! You have consistently dying shells, good luck. And only a week and half until these problems magnify themselves...fun fun.

I stated that they have discouraged stacking. Each class is unique with crowd control options being split among them, DPS is balanced - ARC does not have the highest ceiling - and melee player's CAN do equal or higher damage in Moogle.

You said it yourself in the end - players will find some excuse to follow the status quo.

Whoops my bad. But I still believe SE needs to do more than what they're doing. Combo system rework I mentioned and class exclusive buffs would be a great start to encouraging more classes.

That will change with the addition of content.

It's only "flavor of the month" because we only get one battle every update. When the game is "complete" we'll have many different battles that will favor different classes. And it's not like Ifrit is gone or anything.

You're not going to be left "behind". You're just not useful for this battle.

lol...

OP get a linkshell, a life or a girlfriend. Or fuck level archer on easy mode. I love this forum

[tymora]

Lol these people aren't getting it. You shouldn't have to change your class to something you don't like just because people want you to. I could understand if there were too many healers or too many tanks, but I mean come on, there are never enough DD's (or no more than 6 in our case).

I'm not changing because people ask me to, I'll play what class I want or I'm not gonna do the run

With that attitude, I doubt any decent end-game LS will want you.
In proper LS, even if you have a preferred class, you go whatever the situation demands.
That's community play.

Your attitude = selfish play.

[NumenarMithrandir]

the game is being completely redone and is still being changed and stuff fixed.. give it time and why not lvl ARC.. isnt point of game lvl everything and have a good time with friends. Anyhow... as many said.. this game is still work in progress, maybe take a break but wouldnt panic over it.

[Alcobrum]

SHUT UP YOU WHINEY BASTARDS! Game is game, dont like it don't play!
