Buffs to dragoon

You're kidding, right? Just transfer to a data center closer to you? NA servers are on the West Coast, people on the East Coast can already have ping issues due to the distance, are they supposed to move cross country? What about people in Australia, closest data centers are in Japan which again, huge distance away and so their ping sucks. The developers should absolutely keep ping in mind when designing animation locks because it's not easy for people just get close to a data center for a really low ping.

No I’m not kidding.

The game is designed with distances in mind. If your ping is so high animation lock is causing you severe damage loss, then you should get a new provider. Or something like a VPN or take other steps to lower ping like Whitelist the server, change to Ethernet instead of WiFi.

They really don’t need to make changes because you refuse to.

packetloss on the other hand is another story. But the topic here isn’t packetloss, it’s animation lock.

So no. No I’m not kidding.

Are you kidding when you ask Square-Enix to change the game for everyone else because you refuse to make changes? That’s a bit of an ask.

Being realistic though, I probably am in the wrong place for logic and things making sense.

Im just gonna assume you've never lived in/ played on EU, you can do your damnest to minmise your ping but its almost always gonna be noticiable and you're gonna get a tonne of packet loss. The game is clearly not designed with distance in mind if it took them so many years to make ninjas design more ping friendly, and they thought the abomination that was SB mch's design was okay (inconsistent flamethrower ticks haunt my nightmares). You're also making a bunch of assumtions here about players not putting in effort, a lot of players in EU and AU make active effort to lower ping and still can't do anything about it outside of literally moving.

No. It's not. They've literally said it was designed with Japans internet infrastructure in mind. Which was one of the main reasons they changed how Ninja's Mudras worked.

clearly no one has played old FF games and dont know what a Burst DD is.

Burst phase is not burst DPS.

back in the old games when you get a DRG in your party he was a heavy hitter.
even in FFXI DRG was a heavy hitter.

It's definitely possible that every single other person who plays MMOs and has widely decided what "burst DPS" means is wrong, that's true. It's also possible that your pointless arbitrary definition of DRG being a "heavy hitter" in the other games and not a "heavy hitter" here is wrong.

I know which one I'm voting for.

Losing a turn to deal less damage than mashing the "Fight Button" isn't a great example of doing "Burst".

In fairness, that depends on which final fantasy game you're playing.

In FF3 from about job level 50 onwards jumping is damage neutral to fight, and scales further to be more powerful than fight

In FF4 it dealt more damage with the right setup

In FF5 when using a spear its damage neutral to fight, however lets you attack from the back row, and ignores enemy blocks.

In FF6 it is potentially the highest damage you can do with a physical fighter when using the dragon horn and dragon boots, as one cast of jump executes jump multiple times like a pogo stick decimating enemies (especially in the imp setup)

You get the point, but its certainly not less damage than fight in most of the cases I can think of.

I'm sorry but can someone explain to me what they mean by

Fang and Claw/Wheeling Thrust durations being shorter than the combo durations

[Beddict]

I'm sorry but can someone explain to me what they mean by

You have 15s to execute the next action in a combo, but the Enhanced Wheeling Thrust and Sharper Fang and Claw buffs only last for 10s. These buffs should see a duration increase so they properly match the combo duration.

Thank you. I understand the complaints now.
