Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

180 pages... Would it help if YoshiP came and kissed each of you individually on the forehead? Would that make you feel better?

You've used that line in another thread; do you think about YoshiP kissing people on their forehead often? I sure do. ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡♥

I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is a video game—play it if it's fun for you, or go do something else if it's not.

Y'all need to chill.

This is a place where feedback should be presented. Square Enix can decide to ignore it or listen to it. Either way, people will make up their minds and unsub the moment they feel the game is longer worth their time and money. People here are trying to prevent the game from becoming worthless and meaningless software that nobody enjoys using. This will happen inevitably happen if the game no longer satisfies the needs of people who play games. Current healer design do not meet the needs of a significant amount of dedicated healer mains and you can barely come across a skilled and versed in healing player who will not agree with most of the criticism against the design. There is no point in having healer jobs continue existing in the game if those who have mastered it oftentimes end up boycotting the role. This is not a normal path to mastery nor is healthy for the player base.

I stopped having fun when my role became boring to play so I cancelled my sub and went back to ESO. That game is a hot mess but at least healing is engaging.

I'm glad you can have fun with ESO's healing. I hate it.

Honestly at this point I think all MMOs and healing is just straight up dying. ESO? Drove me away before the... we'll call it talent changes and haven't gotten me back since. It doesn't help that the healer I want to play was still underclassed.

GW2? Same issues with balancing that made me leave the game over 6 years ago.

WoW? Even before the mess with Activision I couldn't go back (why oh why did you get rid of TOTEMS)

Here? I wish I came in during SB. I'd have had a ball. Actually, no. I change my mind. No I don't. If I played during SB I'd hate the game more than I do now.

Where else is there to go?

Don't get me wrong here. I honestly hate how imbalanced ESO is in terms of their class/skill design, with some classes clearly favoring specific playstyles, nor I'm not a fan of their "smart" targeting either and trying to manually aim some skills has always been problematic but at least it gives me more to think about than FFXIV healers and I get the Druid Healer that FFXIV teased me with for years only to blue ball me in ShB with Glare mage.

Fair enough. Much like AST here I'm still waiting for them to commit to the HoT style of healing with NB healer. Especially since they can play with using your own health to do it. But noooooo. Eh. I beat that horse dead enough.

It feels like healers in general have lost a lot of identity compared to other jobs. Scholar (Dot/dps healer) lost its identity to Summoner, to differentiate the two and to make them feel like 2 completely different jobs. White mage lost all of its druid theme and is now basically a Lilly/light themed job - which for me at least was such a drastic change aesthetically that I can‘t identify myself with anymore.
Astrologian lost all the skills that made it cool to begin with, like different cards giving different buffs and also the time magic to extend buffs, which made it engaging and you had at least another useful skill to use…

Where else is there to go?

I'd like to know this as well.

Where else is there to go?

I spend more time in PSO2 than here, and even act more as a combat medic there than I do here (despite only having maybe 4 support abilities for healing, even as a TEC).
I've also gone back to Granado Espada, and I feel so fresh making frogfishes disappear again. It's been nice being able to play a game where I can feel viable while having fun.
