Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[Wilford111]

Healers offered hundreds of pages of polite feedback for years. The gameplay is now 11111111111111111. If you want polite feedback, don't respond to persistent polite feedback with "nope, you're getting 11111111111111 and you're gonna like it or get out". You wouldn't accept that BS on YOUR main job, so miss me with that plea for genteel criticism. You guys don't play any classes other than DPS and it -shows-.

Play AST then I suppose? It's super busy right now I can barely keep up with all its systems and responsibilities.

And you're gonna have to be more constructive with your feedback. You can't just say "1111111111" over and over and expect something different. imo the devs have done everything they can to spice up the different healers while still keeping some of them simple (WHM).

Healers can't have dps rotations because the vast majority will just do their rotation and forget to heal. I imagine the devs have done a ton of testing with all kinds of different abilities and skill sets and the test player response/performance has led them to design healers the way they are today.

Feedback is fine, calling the game shit is fine (if that is what you think), ranting about a part of the game is fine.
But going after devs is not fine, making it personal is not fine. The playerbase of some games even go after voiceacters if they do not like the character they voice and bully them from social platforms.

Yoshi-P and the devs are more open then pretty much every other mmorpg team out there, I for one hope that continues and is not ruined by childish bs like this that risk creating a hostile relationship.

Honestly I’m more frustrated I can’t thank someone, so I’ll just offer my thanks to the aether.

I do not think we can teach some people that wording statements or feedback in a certain way will actually get their point across and maybe even read or relayed to the dev team. So the only things we can do when someone comes into a thread and decides to be insulting and is not providing any feedback other than calling a dev lazy should be if ignored or called out for not being constructive.

I've been on these forums for years.

1111111111111111 is all I have to say now, because I've *given* constructive feedback. A lot of it. In many ways, about several systems. I outlined exactly what was poorly designed about Stormblood lilies before they came out. In return, there was an entire expansion of "eh whatever, just try them out you just don't understand how good they are".

I've outlined what constitutes good game design, including paragraphs about what a reward system is and why current lilies aren't a reward. Explaining that the best kind of rewards encourage skillful play, guide players toward improvement, etc.

Current healer kits do NONE of these things particularly well, and move ever further away from them with every expansion. There's barely anything to heal. The downtime activity is less interactive than an idle clicker game. "If healers had more to do they'd just focus on damage and never heal anyone" is a massive crock of BS. Healers have more solid and entertaining design in all of gaming fiction, and people somehow manage to stay alive when their healers aren't spending 80% of their casts going Glare Glare Glarw Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare until they want their wrists to fall off.

This community could really benefit from cutting this high school drama theater production about healers being soooooooo wicked haaaaaaaard to play that anything more than Glare as downtime is too coooooooooomplicated maaaaaaaaaan.

Stormblood was the peak, and it's been all downhill ever since. They focused too hard on narrative and have been sacrificing gameplay ever since.

You guys do realize the target group that Yoship is referring to are those Japanese extreme players who mailed knife blade as threat right?
These guys are the worst and can even go as far as burning down an anime studio.
These are the group that constantly making verbal threat and stalking.
He is not referring to the snowflakes who always using subscription as threat, those are just sheeps.
He is talking about the real wolves here.
