I dont think the MCH hear your weak cries about a thether animation over the sound of their glaring issues...

Well one of the main benefits of playing a game over MS excel is that it has visual elements that provide enjoyment rather than just being a bunch of numbers.

Atleast you didn't lose anything..
[cries in dragoon]

The range on your tether was more than doubled and dragoons dps increase(2.45% total) is 270% of the mch increase( .9% total). Idk if i would call the removal of an animation a "loss" to the job. And no Im not saying MCH "should do as much dmg as melee" but with Mch lack of party or personal utility, brd and dnc will outpace mch making it less viable for a majority of endgame content numbers wise.

And visually a majority of Dragoon abilities are flashier than a mch abilities, at least in my opinion. I've heard people talk about how flashy mch skills are and thats why "casuals love it" but as a mch main, our ability animations arent that amazing compared to other classes.

Thats all well and good but the loss of a single tether visual doesn't degrade dragoons visual animations to the level of MS excel nor is it comparable to the mechanical and dps issues faced by MCH. Comes off a bit mocking to tell a group of players that literally got thrown table scraps that at least they didnt lose a tether animation.

Yes, atleast they didn't lose something that they enjoy for no reason. I don't think the game would be destroyed by increasing the range with the animation intact.

Perhaps there were issues with the collisions, maybe the new range just made it bug out and they couldn't get it resolved in time. Who can say for sure to what reason but I can say for certain they didn't just yank the visual for no reason. Just saying, your going to get far less sympathy for the thether visual compared to the problems faced by mechanists.

If the reason was that "some people run off and die because they mistake the tether for a dangerous mechanic." then i stand by my point that it was for no reason. But i'm fine with machinists not caring for loss of visual elements, i have no sympathy for only caring about numbers. Just get better gear :')

By all means, stand by "people running off and dying due to tether" /shrug

It's not about just caring about numbers, its about feeling useful to the party and not feeling like we bring the whole group down by playing a job we like. Its about the fact that compared to the other ranged physical jobs, mch will have a harder time comparing to them.

Keep that MCH flag flying, griefing or no.
