Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I've popped in here and there but not as much since 4.2. Up for a duel whenever though.

I hate the Manderville quest line and everything involved with it. I didn't find a single solitary bit of that chain to be funny, charming, clever, or endearing. The only reason I suffered through it was to unlock the scholasticate chain so I could get my /spectacles emote.

I'm on less too, but if you pop on, search for me. I tend to be quieter in game than here, though. I see winter occasionally, but hvent had him on a team.

people must suck on aether then, because any decent healer could handle a MCH in 3.0. Come to primal some time, we'll show you how to play.

I'm gonna plug this in here from an old thread:

My friend, surely as a fellow healer you should also know that of course if you duel 1v1 someone they can never kill you because you'll have full attention on them and no teammates to worry about. Calling for a 1v1 to test healing prowess just seems silly and even a little conceited.

It just sounds like you've never fought against some of the high level MCH. And let me tell you MCH CC make me want to blow myself up because if they're not doing as much damage they sure as heck are going to make it hard for you to heal from their other teammates' damage. I used to have a similar mindset to you until I fought against a couple of really good MCH players. Or maybe I'm just a baddy healer who knows.

Dark Knight is FINE.

When people rant about DRK, they go on about "being behind DPS, mitigation, and utility." Remember WAR pre-SiO buff? People were not complaining about WAR's lack of utility. It was desirable because it had damage and a great solid mitigation kit. That established, "utility" isn't a deal breaker. By comparison, the only real thing about DRK that is behind is its damage, but it's not by a significant amount. This is no way mirrors Gordian PLD. Remember that? Remember how they were incapable of completing A4S without being 10 ilvls ahead of the other tanks? Not the case at all with current DRK!

You look right now at data from o6s, the most uptime friendly fight, and you'll see DRK only lags behind WAR by less than 8% in dps. From that fight onward, the gap only shrinks.

Anyways, TBN is great and can mix and match with all CDs to get all the mitigation you need. Considering in dps stance, you could very well argue DRK's mitigation surpasses WAR's.

I think housing is fine.

I don't really see this as an "unpopular" opinion tbh. I mean, I disagree with you, as I did enjoy it, but many people don't like the kind of humor used in the Manderville quest line.

SE should have forced players who owned multiple homes to choose which two they wanted to keep (Personal and FC) and opened the rest up. SE should also start putting there foot down on players that abuse the current system to set themselves up with multiple FC houses. The housing situation is far from okay because exactly what SE wanted to prevent is just happening anyways because you only need 4 people in an FC to buy a house, and with houses lingering for so long on FC only purchase, who wouldn't be tempted to just start buying them out to make the most of the new subs?

SE needs to stop playing around and take a hard stance on housing and enforce it.

Actually, they stated a while back Au Ra aesthetic were changed due to how JP players overwhelmingly dislike bestial race options. I believe complications with armour also led to the change.

Which is sad since recent data showed that we have more NA players than JP players and together with EU, the western part makes up the majority of the playerbase. And its not like they already dont have their cute option. I honestly hope that the next race will be something less cute otherwise I just see their introduction as useless..then use your time and budget to increase the options of the existing races. (Not sure if that is an unpopular opinion or not)

*Holds shields up* New unpopular opinion: I hate it when people use threads for their own personal conversation. Its fine if its one post or if you at least have a bit of the thread topic in it but posts full of no usefull information for the thread itself annoys me a great deal because I like reading about opinions on a topic but not about something soo off topic. When you have a thread with one page of good talk and then 3 pages of off topic it kinda wasted my time.

I'd say that it is an "unpopular" opinion in that most people like the Manderville quests - but hardly a unique opinion since a number of people dislike it.
I do think most people think that the 3.x Manderville questline was far less funny than the 2.x one. Better story in some ways, but less funny.
