#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Shialan]

I’m still waiting for literally a single person to offer an alternative

We knew the strike wouldn’t impact the queues, but now I’ve dumped my healers and am happily maining PCT, if the devs ever decide they need feedback there is a mountain of it on the healer forums already

We got people talking. There is little else we can do

Unsub? Stop playing the game? Make it count where its important for Square? They don't care about this post. But what they care is money. If they earn less money because people (healer mains) don't like how their classes play and leave the game, they will see it in their statistics. Their revenue.

You people in for the "strike" still playing, even when it is other classes, does nothing. You are still paying them money.

2 points

1) a “feedback” system that amounts to “unsub or your feedback is deemed unnecessary or inconsequential” is a completely broken system and will benefit nobody in the long run

2) if I unsub now they don’t ask for why I’m leaving the game, how do they know it’s because I’m sick of healers, they don’t track me his a healer main and who isn’t, if I unsub now they could easily pass it off as “oh they didn’t like the DT story” or “guess they are taking a break”. Unsubbing only works to give feedback if they actually ask for feedback when you unsub. In the 14 years I’ve played this game I’ve only been actively subbed for 6 years or so of it, if they look at my internal data they will just assume I’m on a break

Untrue. Its been shown SE does listen to forum feedback(i mean, feedback suggestions literally redirect you to the forums).

Theyve rolled back certain class changes, and have even implemented buffs over feedback threads less expansive than this.

So no, their only concern is not exclusively money, because if it was we as subbers would never have gotten the plethora of qol updates as we have been asking for over the years.

Such as but not limited to, as its atlesst a big one for me, flying in arr zones. And they absolutely did not need to give it to us, its something the playerbase actively voiced and asked for lmao.

So, shockingly contrary to your argument, talking about stuff , including contributing with uninformed posts like this does infact help a ton! 616 pages going strong

Having a blast "griefing" Dungeons and Trials by playing as "the worst" tank.
Apologies to everyone for not being able to solo a boss from 50% to 0% if healer dies. And with everyone playing Picto and/or Viper the chances of actually having an extra rez in a party are pretty slim. =)

I'm genuinely fascinated to see how many other ex-healers (and specifically ex-ASTs) switched to DNC. I suspect it's a popular job for a lot of us, because its proc-heavy kit and its emphasis on buffing/support provide the exact sort of reactive and support-oriented play that drew most of us to the healer role in the first place.

That's exactly it, yeah. The proc-based, semi-random rotation scratches the itch for every fight not being exactly the same, like EW Ast did. It still has plenty of support options and is acceptably high APM with its OGCDs, so I always feel like I have something to do other than press my filler buttons.

EW AST is horrible I don't want to get back to that.. playing that job feels bad

Again, this is only if we want to hit back at the company and the investors, but we don't. The main company and the investors aren't designing the game.

We want the attention of the development team, and the best way to get that attention is to hit their metrics, something you can do more effectively when you're subbed to the game.

I really don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

I am new to ffxiv,

I want to understand if I can send a message to devs for potential improvement is that a thing?

Debatable, since the devs pay a lot more attention to the Japanese side of the forums than the English one... Our best bet is probably making enough noise that someone in charge of forums brings it to their attention.

I think the same about DT Ast. I loved the high APM, busy job that it was. Sure, Astrodyne sucked and Lord/Lady being random, too. But now it just feels slow and clunky + the support cards are basically useless.

I really want healers to move a little away from healing..
I know it is counter productive but let me explain:

Healers have alot of kit that is situational and not being used on most of the content which other jobs don't have this problem

Just get rid of it!

Why healer have this much healing? Give healer kit that standout..
I wish this could happen
Astro should focus more on cards buffs
White mage should focus more into "mage" aspect this job isn't Conjourer anymore.
Scholar should focus more on pets and Dots
Sage need a little modification and it is already in a good state
