This isnt working, we need to try something else (Kaiten Post)

[TyrAtatoskr]

All of our concerns have already been mirrored in every region, including regions that have not even suffered the effects of 6.1 yet. They are as keenly aware of the situation as we are.

A total of 6 jobs now have sources of guaranteed critical damage. Critical buff synergy has been an issue for a while.

in regards to concerns, i'd love any, like, numerical evidence that people in other regions are unhappy. even circumstantial evidence; an unofficial count. i obviously cant read Japanese, so a glance at the forums does nothing for me. i'd love to take your statement at face value. i really would. i just cant with Yoshi-P's complete silence on the matter, especially when contrasted with the obvious example of BLM's PVP on the japanese forums. people are INFERRING that AST and DRG's changes being delayed are because SAM's was received so poorly. as far as i know, the devs have not gone "yeah we fricked up with SAM's changes and are now too scared to change anything else." this lack of mentioning does not give me faith.

but again, there's the matter of timing with critical buff synergy. i can't honestly hope for better when the devs announce changes to the whole shebang after it's relevant for SAM and SAM only. they clearly didn't think it was worth fixing before. it obviously wasn't on their radar. why now?


but then there's the matter of the last paragraph: "if they don't address the 6.1 changes directly with a full reversion, i expect them to catch a lot of heat, both polite and impolite." why do think that that will work THEN when it hasn't been working NOW? are you simply giving up before the bell's rung?

I'm not sure where you've been but there have been dozens of threads before and after the 6.1 changes, including one I made myself, a few of which have been perpetually on or near the front page. We've done the best we can so far on official and unofficial platforms. The general consensus has been that 6.1 was a disaster for PvE gameplay design across multiple jobs, particularly SAM, and that arguments in favor of the changes don't really have a leg to stand on.

i have been on the English forums. NOT the Japanese forums which inspired them to, quote,

whip up a patch within 5 seconds after Yoshi-P was getting roasted directly on the PvP forums

NOT the Japanese forums. Hence, this post. I legit don't know how you missed the entire point of this thread.
