#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

Hey! I apologized!

/em sticks out tongue

I wasn't trying to dig at you for that again. I was pointing out the general state of the community discussion.

Some raiders blame RPers, some casuals blame raiders, some RPers blame the hidden modders.

It would be nice if people just admitted that we're just not being given enough content longevity rather than tearing into each other for scraps.

Anyway, as for the healer situation, I'm apathetic to it. I've already basically quit healing anyway. If they manage to surprise us in 8.0, great, if not, then it is what it is.

8.0 job identity isnt even real

8.0 job identity isnt even real

It's a little microcosm of why I think they're so silent about the Healer Strike.
Yoshi'p merely hinted that they'll try to focus on Job identity in 8.0, and suddenly it gets Telephone-Game'd into people thinking we're getting an every job full rework in 8.0 where they'll consult with fans across the world to make every single class perfect.
I think they'd rather just keep things close to the chest and figure out a way to help us without setting any expectations. Just have it come out of nowhere so our first impression is just what we get. If they tell us "we're working to make healers more interesting in 8.0" then you'll start to have all sorts of brainstorming on everything they do. To the point that anything less than everyone's wildest dreams is just a disappointment.

IMHO that's just a smokescreen. Something to get players off their back before they continue to remove something else yet again. What would that be I wonder? :P

Instead of radio silence or complete transparency why not have fake leaks? Show them ideas of what your thinking, but be able to completely deny it.

I can already know in my heart that 8.0 is gonna be a lie. I still haven't seen anything worthy of them saying they're enhancing the fight design

The devs got a lot of love and trust from all of their openness and engagement from 1.x through the 2.x series.

All of that is being burned with a proverbial flamethrower ie. silence, corporate style messaging and no engagement.

Really, just think about it, we get more engagement from politicians than the devs at this point. If I send a politician’s office a question, I’ll get an answer. I may not like the answer but I will always get one.

Dropped to page three? Not on my watch.

Well, at this point it doesn't really matter anymore : 6 month old thread with 988 pages and 9879 response (well 9880 with mine).... And still not ackownlegment from SE/CBU3

The answer is clear : they don't give a sh*t about healer. period.

And i don't think this will change soon...

At this point, I just want the thread to get to 1000 pages just to break headlines again.

And now we've got the mobile game to further distract Yoshi-P's attention when it sounds like his time was being stretched thin as-is.

Oo?
The mobile game is dev by a Chinese Studio... It has nothing to do with SE/CBU3, it's only business (you know, giving the right to use licence and assets for a part of the money earned)
