Thread: Patch 4.5 is Unacceptable

Solo content:
Main Quests, which includes cutscenes, overworld quests, story battles. I want to be able to play through them as Blue Mage, and access story dungeons either as blue mage through a preformed party or with whatever other job I have leveled.
Hunts
Most mini games in Gold Saucer
Learning spells in the overworld, which will doubtless take a long time because we won't have the same luck they showed in the trailer where they learned spells on the first hit.

Not solo content:
Dungeons (we can access them preformed or party finder)
Raids (the raid itself, not the story around it)
Trials
Deep Dungeon
Roulettes

Also remember that you couldn't have played any story past level 50 anyway since BLU is locked to 50 for now - which we knew from the start. I don't know why this particular limitation is such an issue...

This limitation concerns me because I wanted to do the New Game + on Blue Mage. I understand that since I've finished the main quest, Blue Mage can't redo a quest that was already completed, but in the future I want to be able to replay the main story using that class.

If blue mage isn't gonna tickle your fancy then simply don't play it. There is multiple things I don't like that other people do and I allow them to have their enjoyment. Blue mage isn't even out quite yet. We have patch notes and a short video. That's it. For all we know it could be fun. Or, se in the future could add things that make it more fun but what I am certain of is that they cannot please everyone.

Don't get me wrong, I wish it was a traditional class. But I'm fine with se experimenting. Like I don't get this community sometimes. One day y'all whine on how se never breaks from its mold then the next day y'all whine bc a new experiment is not to the traditional standards.

Maybe because "break from the mold" usually doesn't correlate to "can't do content we want to".

Can't do content we want to? What on earth do you even mean? Do you not like it? Is that why you don't do the content? Well then, not all content is gonna appease everyone. Not all content is gonna be considered fun. I can say this, no matter how much I find something boring in this game, se hasn't produced any side content I cannot do, but merely what I do not want to do.

Some people might absolutely love what they are doing with blue mage and it is something new se has created. Sure it is recycling older content, but at least they try to keep older content relevant in way, which most mmos don't do.

I want to do raids with it, plain and simple, in challenging end game content.

At no point has SE said that Blue Mage will ever get to do this. It will only get its level cap raised with the standard patches released through an expansion.

So it's not a mater of want.

I -cannot- do whatever raid drops with Shadowbringers with Blue Mage. No amount of 'breaking the mold' will replace that for me.

Coil is pretty challenging if you don't do it unsynced, y'know.
