#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[1313]

Respectfully, this is rather too soon and a bit silly. Dawntrail isn’t even out yet. You’re comparing the content we have now, to job changes and content that isn’t even out and you haven’t even played, this would be smarter if after DW released and it was the same as now but we have been told content will be harder, more stressful and that we will actually need the extra healing… please remain calm and just wait like 2-3 more weeks. I’m sure half the people in here are the ones who want to Dps more as healer anyway so like… I just don’t get it. I main AST before anyone comes for me

Exactly what my friends and I said when we saw people start losing their minds over stuff they know nothing about.

To be fair, I think so too. But if this isn't adressed in the live letter on 14th, I'll join in earnest. From what I understand moving the goal posts is bad enough.

I've been waiting 2 expansions and have heard the same things from players amd developers alike.

They've added some good abilities and changes to healers, now just give me the things they took away. Give me my dots back, give me selene back, give me useful control over my faire back. Make it feel like I'm an actual contributing member to the party instead of a tag along.

I don't really care how wonderful their content design is. Make the jobs fun to play at all levels and it doesn't matter if you're facing an ultimate or a training dummy.

Tbh as I said earlier this will lead to nothing, and 95% of these people will just default to their class come DT, Gamers are notoriously bad at boycotts and can't wait to get their next shot of dopamine, even most of the redditers agree to this point, there's very few players who say healings awful but they're just changing to DPS which is fine, this lil boycott from a few people will amount to little or nothing.

Unless ALL these healers start cancelling their subs and not purchasing DT nothing absolutely nothing will happen until at least 8.0 when the job revisions is being looked at.

I started in HW. I know what has been lost. It's extremely unsatisfying to me too.

It's not only not a small number of people but when these sort of things crop up, unlike other games FFXIV community actually means it. But the other thing to note that's a bit off with your statement, they've done mid cycle adjustments to jobs. Shadowbringers being one such example. Scholars were boycotting the job and complaining about some of their changes. SE literally did what those players asked and this was in early into the expansion even. But that in itself is a problem, healers haven't been listened to by SE until there's a "gun" at their head. So this is going to do something, it's more how long before it happens.

Engaging in discussion when you have nothing to contribute is what I would consider childish. "The um...akctually kind of child behavior I would expect from an elementary student." But again, you are free to troll, not like there is moderation to these forums anyway. Do note though, that this thread contains several people sharing the same sentiment, and going about it saying their opinions are not worth the time...when this is the forum for said opinions, is quite annoying and disrespectful. Especially since what happens from it is not up for you to decide. So please, if you have nothing to discuss, why are you here?

Putting aside the fact that the media tour had people doing dungeons without a healer in questing gear, it's crazy to think that they are suddenly going to change the healer philosophy they have been working with for the last several expansions. Heck, I remember back during the EW media tour when people were coping with the "Surely this means the battle content will have more to heal right?!"

Tbf you can thank Yoshi for that coping, he said there would be more to heal outright. It wasn't simply people hoping they were TOLD these things would be there only for them not to.

It's crazy that people believe him, cause he said the exact same thing before EW and it was a lie then, so there is no reason to believe him now.

This is an interesting idea, but it would be helpful if the OP contained a brief manifesto of the points that need to be addressed before the strike is lifted.

From the link you could infer that it's related to healers being redundant in Dawntrail content due to excessive tank healing output (read: WAR), but I'm sure that there are other discussion points that you want to see addressed as well.

If it's not spelt out to them with actionable points, then you won't have the impact that you want.
