    Are positionals a outdated thing?

    I was watching Xenosys and I been agreeing in that positionals are at this point just dumb and a archaic system. Should they just finally get rid of positionals once and for all?

    The Auburn All-Father is never wrong.

    I find them kind of annoying and don't believe they really add anything, but I generally don't really care if they stay or if they are removed. They do add a level of need to pay attention of when and where to use true north, but at the same time the differences between managing true north on sam and on drg are night and day, though I don't think I'd care as much about positionals on drg if they weren't literally back to back abilities.

    So ya, I'm kind of whatever about them. They annoy me on certain jobs and on other jobs its stupid easy to get around them. I personally don't think they will be around in 7.0 though and mechanics will just add more scenarios to push melee away from the boss instead of just mechanics that make doing positonals annoying.

    I'd be down with removing them in exchange for a different way of making melee complex.
    Mostly because they hamper boss design because the devs have to account for melee positionals

    I actually quite enjoy them, and I wish that there were a few more of them.

    Positionals aren't make-or-break, but I find that they make melee a little more dynamic and mobile in a fun way. I wouldn't add them to non-melee, but I'd much prefer to keep them (and maybe expand them to another ability or two where appropriate).

    Not doing positionals is outdated When they're gone you're going to miss them

    they're kind of the reason melee get's to do more damage than ranged. hitboxes are so big everyone would be ranged without them

    not opposed to removal but what would replace them to keep melee's value?

    I'm sure I'd miss them just as much as I miss TP.
