I'd like to point that the color blind issue is also a no Brainer. Thats the kind of thing you assign one person from the art team and tell him to change colors on a very specific aspect of the UI.

It has no impact on balance or anything. It doesn't involve new game components that need to be tested.



This is why this has been addressed quickly.

it is a nobrainer, that it's needed and easier to imply blind colourness

but the blm dps/gamplay issue is older in the forums and neither devs, nor any interviews have yet suggested, that the issue has been take seriously.. or an issue at all

wonder if we ever gonna get a qol change to make transpose 10s cd instrad of 12s. with 12s it only give u a 1s window to reuse it during some fights that have lengthy transition like in o4s. but i rather wish af/ui is 15s timer instead of 13s so that using lb3 wont totally kill af/ui/enochian.

To be fair, I never saw any Dev or Mod actually reply to threads like this. Doesn't mean they don't read or acknowledge it.
If we get any reaction it'll most likely be in a live letter and not on the forum.

oh....ok, good to know (fingers still crossed)..

but still (very) disappointed that 4.18 brought zero for blm ... and no interview or yoshi comment up to date indicates anything

[Remedi]

They announce every changes to the jobs before they are released as a way to not surprise ppl, so you should not expect anything from a patch if nothing about class changes have been said before

[Shiroe]

still could have hoped for something as easy/small as slight potency increase

[Remedi]

A slight potency increase pushed SMN over BLM, as much as we believe it otherwise there are no such a thing as easy fixes in game balance, especially here that, despite what's all said and done. all the jobs are somewhat fine, which means that small fixes are all that is need to tip the scale

[Lina_Slayer]

In a sense 4.1.8 was the best thing to happen for BLM players, since it is now super easy to gear a proper job...

[Lelila38]

I wouldn't expect anything before 4.2 honestly. As others have said, it takes time to work out and test these things. I'd rather have a well thought out change to the class, than a bandaid fix. Even if it's just a potency increase, I'd rather they balance it properly, seeing how Se has a history of overshooting these things. Being op might be fun for a while, but the inevitable nerf after isn't.
