All that BLU hate is just absurd

Or, you know, all PvP content. There's already precedence for jobs changing abilities depending on the content.

Logic and sense

I find it slightly baffling you only have 6 likes.
The good thing is no one is arguing with what you said.

It’s refreshing to see someone post some sense. Unfortunately you don’t have over 1,000 likes for this.

This isn’t sarcasm either. This is the best post on BLU I have seen so far. Keep it up!

I am really excited for BLU it will add a breath of fresh air to the stale system we have now.

This is probably the best case scenario that a lot of critical people are hoping we end up with and are trying to get the devs to consider. I still find it objectionable to beta test jobs on paying customers.

Was Eureka beta testing?
How about omega raids, were O1-4 beta tests for O9-12?
Woukd you rather we didnt get Blue Mage at all until 5.2?

Its not beta testing, its just staggered content, a fundamental of MMOs.

You've taken a reason for disappointment and replaced it with a reason for disgust.

As Reinha said, BLU being in extended "beta-testing" until 8.1 or beyond would still be the best case scenario. If it's not a testing phase, then the only intent to remain is that it always be staggered behind real content, that it will never be a real job and will never make a positive impact on the existing roster or core content.

Sadly, dev responses so far suggest you're correct. It will probably be staggered side-content, and nothing more.

Nothing about what i said, or the term 'staggered' implies it will never catch up. Just that it isnt all released at once.

"Dev responses". Are you a dev?

I did not say it would be side-content because it's staggered. The two are separate. It will be staggered. It will be side-content. It will therefore be staggered side-content. Nothing I said implied a connection between the two. I never implied you, or even the devs, made a connection between those two qualities.

Sometimes I wish that Eureka was beta tested and then they could have realized beforehand half of the stuff that was complained about for good reasons.

I think the disappointment for me about BLU comes from the fact that it isn't so much a job/class but SE is using it as an actual content filler for the next patch and is possibly considering following this idea for future patches with the mention of Beast Tamer and Puppet Master. I'd rather have them just release the job as they normally do and let players use it freely in all areas of the game than have it released as it's own thing that people will forget when they get to level 50. Another issue with that is that it will ALWAYS restricted to old content because it's capped 20-30 levels behind unless SE is serious about keeping it up to date. (Which worries me because SE has been known to abandon content in this game - i.e Golden Saucer, PVP, HoH/PoTD etc.)

I feel like they should have just ignored the worries of "the meta" and just went ahead and released it like they wanted. Eveyone doesnt savage raid and everyone doesn't care about having "best in slot." I know most dungeon runners don't and I know most casual player could probably care less.
