February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

i'm betting there'll be zero acknowledgement of current healer suffering, and no mentions of healers whatsoever in any slides relating to class or combat changes.

best not to expect more, since that's exactly what the last year and a half or so has been.

Considering this is exactly why they didn't introduce a new healer so that they could address them in 6.0... bit weird to think this will be the case when we've known since ShB launched they'd be doing exactly the opposite of what you're saying?

I'm hoping that, at the very least, it's set on the Source.

Taking into account the towers being built by house Brutus—which is why Fandaniel flaunts his wealth as the "very much alive" "sole heir" of House Brutus in 5.2 to Zenos and says he would "proceed with the plan"— and thus being of Garlean origin, as well as the fact that 5.4 literally spells out that Zenos is going to recreate the final days on the source. I think we can safely say that next expansion, and finale of this arc, is set on the Source exclusively. Which means it'll be Garlemald as they've been the antagonists since 1.0. The Motherland and the Provinces of Garlemald, to be exact, as that's how Islabard is divided.
