Media Tour MCH issues: MCH is now 4 times more punishing

[Hussain]

Can't wait to play a job that only 1% of the playerbase can play optimally , always a good design to have jobs being dependent on ping
good job SE

[Arkenne]

A job for the chosen 1%

You know, funny thing is that lore wise this is supposed to be a job for everyone to have power. So that even the weakest can fight... yet the job seems way more selective than Ishgard's Royalty and its Heavensward :v

Trying to recall if we had this much support and concern over the stormblood machinist changes when we brought attention to those. xD oh well all the changes for expac are dialed in

Time to just wait and see what we get and return with feedback! 12 days til early access

As I remember it people were very vocal early on, and then it kinda got quiet as expansion went on and people realized nothing major would happen until 5.0, and mch just became the background meme you'd bring up every now and then.
As much as we can criticize it on paper I can't wait to get my hands on it and actually try how it feels to play

They bowed to every whim of Bard after a controversial 3.X, so hopefully they'll be as swift and decisive with Machinist this time.

[Arkenne]

hopefully they'll be as swift and decisive with MCH as they were with BRD on 3.x

BRD got stuck as bowmage the whole 3.x expansion tho O_o;;;
and MCH as a gunmage cuz BRD was a bowmage =-=a

MCH's castbars were more fun than anything in SB, I wish we'd stuck with them.

I meant in early Stormblood, it seemed like bards problems were addressed unusually fast, which I saw as a sign of... repentance? :P they were, granted, more easily fixable issues. But I like to think it's our turn for special attention.

Thats my point, tho, bowmage thing got addressed one whole expansion later...

[Rivxkobe]

I mained MCH in HW. When it was revealed I knew I wanted to play it and main it. However, I dropped it immediately with the release of SB because of the changes they made. And while I REALLY like that they are getting Edgar Tools I just don't think I have the time or patience to learn MCH and KNOW that I am never going to be able to use it as effectively as I could. Mainly because of how weaving works and how strict it is. Weaving in more than one oGCD without clipping with my connection is almost impossible, depending on the fight.

Edit: Its why I don't play NIN, and MCH feels much more punishing than NIN.
