Request for Better Dev Communication Regarding Job Balancing and Adjustments

[Ravor]

More Class mean more stuff to balance around, the dev probably need more member for the class design and balancing along with more quality assurance which include Q&A with players, in my opinion, they should add more member on that aspect but knowing the dev, they would rather have more member to work on new content rather than existing content

You should look up AST's opener. FFXIV's crappy coding and the poor servers + netcoding makes double-weaving aggravating.

Draw and Play should have been consolidated. Same with Minor Arcana and Crown Play, but I'd rather they remove Minor Arcana since it adds nothing to the gameplay but RNG trash.

I main Ast. I know the opener and I have no issues with it.

I think that part of the problem is that being able to design something doesn't always mean that you're going to feel comfortable or personable talking to thousands of people on camera to Twitch/YouTube/Nico. Yoshi/Foxclon have been doing this for years so they can discuss the subject matter comfortably while being entertaining at the same time. When you think about how long some of these Live Letters go on for (upwards of 4+ hours), it's probably an incredibly stressful experience and I'm sure that they'd love to have someone equivalently charismatic and knowledgeable on the subject matter stand up and talk instead. But they're eventually going to have to train up more of their team members to sit in front of a camera.

What I would like to see them eventually do is actually make use of their channels and host more frequent, more focused, and shorter segments on topics of interest, be it job design philosophy and current balance issues, housing/glamour stuff, or whatever. That way you can tune in to the stuff that you're interested in, rather than wading through a lot of fluff to get there. Even if they did it in something like an interview/Q+A format it would work, because then really only the show host has to be a good conversationalist. Even a podcast might be nice if it's a less intimidating format.

but you also have to remember a few months ago YoshiP called out people who were being blatantly rude to the devs in the forums.

which was, I remind you, exclusively about japanese people sending death threats and insults over the samurai 'buff', which, of course, meant that a ton of people in the english forums went on and virtue signalled about it here to bully people into silence and to not criticise the poor, multi billion dollar indie company that is sparing no expense and cares so, so much about feedback (lol).

I implore you to re-read that thread and see the difference in attitudes and behaviours of the posters in there, you'll notice that those 'nice' people were constantly attacking, insulting and insinuating things against any kind of critical person, hell, this happens in every single damn thread where some kind of criticism is present.

One change that I think flew under everyone's radar is BRD's DoTs no longer interacting with songs. I would like to know more on what happened between the Media Tour and EW release that made them decide to remove this interaction and give songs a flat 80% to proc, because as far as I remember nobody was asking for that kind of change back in ShB. I can guess maybe people were complaining about the RNG at which point they just simplified it but we may never know for sure. Just feels bad because I feel like giving feedback on jobs in this game has an equal chance of either being ignored, monkey paw'd or actually getting a good fix.

Good point to bring up about being comfortable sitting in front of the camera, I only thought about the scheduling issue that comes with getting them on the liveletter. That being said, I agree it is important to get them comfortable communicating with the community.
While I can definitely see some unfiltered vitriole being thrown when they first show up on camera, hiding behind Yoshi-P all the time and sticking their head in the ground against many valid criticisms and concerns will not help.

Man it's slowly turning into the WoW forums.

[Atelier-Bagur]

If you arent on the JP forums ....then your opinions are close to irrelevant imho.

Just like with ffxi, SE has a history of jp feedback > everyone else.

We try, and we should!! We sputter about here on the NA forums but ultimately they react to please JP.
(this isnt meant to be negative at all, just facts , (which can be difficult to face sometimes)

So what you're saying is.................we should all be Japanese.

Time to hit the duolingo fellas! No more of that 'Murican speak!

The best you can do is submit your feedback to the devs in a polite manner. Then they will silently look at the feedback given, consult their peers about it, and brainstorm what to do with that information and whether its actually worthwhile.

At this point in time the devs do read and care. The more barbed the discussions get, the less they are likely to listen. Simple as.

where was that when healers gave their feedbacks and got ignored in every possible way or did they read feedback and the answer they gave healers is whm who suffer from mp issues have thin air, his core mp management skill, nerfed and never adjust his high mp cost due to that change cause that makes it "better"?
