February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[van_arn]

Removing all nuke damage buttons from healers and putting all their damage into their DoT spell

And they’ll still not push that button.

but I couldn't imagine ever going back. May it rest in pieces.

"Back in my day, most players cleared coil on ps3! All you gamers with your FRAPS and RAMS don't know tru struggle"
(I actually did coil up to T5 on ps3. No clear though hehe)

Realistic expectations:
- No Matter whats talked about, we will see handfuls of threads complaining about it
- People Chanting Male Viera in the Chat

Unrealistic expectations:
- The Forums wont fill with tons of people complaining about something
- Male Viera & Female Hrothgar Anoounced

Double Jeopardy:
- Hrothgar and Viera Headgear and Hair announcements

Did anyone make our bingo?

Zanarkand-Ronso's "someone will be upset" will be the freebie in the center lol.

Shots fired. I'm just somewhat hyped. I WANT THE INFO SO BAD. Tho I stand by my statement. We're getting 2 fanfest of informations. Like the CGI movie. I'm betting it'll be the full one if not a longer one then the first we would've gotten. One job reveal and 2 clues.. or both jobs revealed. The name of the expac. News on XIV coming to Xbox since the live BS is gone. New areas and lots and lots of changes to the combat system and everything we would've gotten by now if Tom clancey's The division didn't take over the world last year. And so much more.

I am expecting the PS5 upgrade will be announced along with confirmation it is finally coming to Xbox Series X|S. I know that has been in the works for a while. I am guessing when 6.0 released there will be a complete collection released for Xbox. I would love some new hairstyles for Hrothgar/Viera but not sure SE even cares about those two races anymore since we've had 2 years go by and nothing.

I think a really important (or at least useful) thing with these sorts of announcements is to be eager but non-specific.

I'm looking forward to it but it's just "they're going to show some upcoming things that I haven't seen before".

If you go into it expecting or hoping for a specific announcement, the event will be disappointing because it failed to announce the thing you wanted rather than because of what content was actually in it, even if the actual reveals are good.

Would be really nice if we got any information about more UI options, would love if i was able to disable the "healing received" numbers as it does close to nothing for me but take up more screen space.

Info on how Hrothgar female and male viera are coming along would also be nice.
