What BLU got this Patch

[Zephera]

While they had marketed BLU with that, I think it was meant to be solo because of the masked carnivale. All skills that you need to complete can be learned from overworld monsters. BLU being able to do instanced content is just extra fun and content, and optional. All the extra stuff if actually just optional collectibles. So I don't think they had contradicted their initial marketing.

At least it is what I understood. While not necessarily agreeing with them. I'm all up to more group BLU content. I mean, what's the bad thing about doing group content with BLU? It's fun, and it's what we do with other jobs.

I agree with the benefit of a dedicated DF. But I can understand why that would not work, players would just get tired of waiting hours of queue and would go to PF intead. But I think a BLU roullete for every intance would be good, excluding extreme and savage of course.

You can't learn all the skills needed for carnivale from the overworld though? You need mind blast and glower to pass quests to unlock it, and I'm pretty certain you need diamondback to clear some missions of it, can only get those from instances.

I do agree that it should have an auto-matching feature like the DF though, would at least make grouping to do content as BLU a lot easier and more convenient.

EDIT:

I'd rather appreciate Blue Mage for what it is than complain about what it's not.

As it is, I don't feel like there's much to appreciate right now in regards to BLU which is disappointing as we all know the devs can do a lot better with it than what we've received.
