Can we please delay Savage?

[ForteNightshade]

Content being purposely and arbitrarily delayed results in having to wait longer to experience new content. Isn't the source of disappointment obvious? Have you not ever had some game, movie, TV show, or whatever delayed and experienced disappointment because you were anticipating it?

Experiencing new content is not all about getting the clear. For many people having a new raid simply represents having something new to do in the game, even if they aren't winning it right away.

I imagine you share this opinion with Heaven on High, Eureka, Blue Mage and the plethora of other content that was already readily available but intentionally staggered because, and I quote, "We felt there was too much content and didn't want people to feel overwhelmed."

And those players still get to experience all that content whereas players aiming for week 1 Savage don't. A week delay of Savage does not prevent you from enjoying the remaining content.

Hardcores that want more time to clear MSQ/normal/whatever do not speak for all hardcores, even if that's what they're trying to do by pushing their desires in front of everyone else who (reasonably) wants to see new content when it is actually ready to be released.

You also do not speak for the hardcore raid community. Therefore, it's disingenuous to claim delaying Savage would be a punishment. You can't know that any more than I can. Hence why I offered a suggestion I think would be beneficial. Given the reception, I think it's clear many share that opinion.

Yes, it was. Datamining was used to find all the debuffs in the raid, and one in particular was a key piece in figuring out how to get past true heart.

You do realize this makes no sense given only one group out of the thirty or so racing managed to figure out what the Heart debuff even did. And TPS showed video evidence they stumbled on it by complete accident and simply guessed. If datamines was key to figuring out the mechanic, why did a streaming group with no access to said datamines beat all the World racers except TPS?

The content is already quite shallow, all the delay will do is make it even more shallow.

By this logic, Ultimate should be extremely shallow that not even hardcore groups care about given it has a two week delay following the initial patch release despite there being no cut scenes or gear to halt progression. The mere idea delaying Savage by a week would cause people to lose interest is so laughably extreme, it borders on delusional.

Why respond as an "against this change" when it's almost entirely been met with vitriol? What this boils down to is "my gameplay experience is worth more then yours, so screw yours" on both sides.

The change won't occur because Square hasn't changed the formula in 6+ years, so the entire thread is pointless. But that's why you're not getting more "against" posters.

The current Coffer system would like to have a word with you about that.
