Please don't change Viper

[W00by]

I also think it's worth addressing that these changes will be delivered at an absolutely awful time, the day of the launch of the Arcadion Raid Tier. For those of us like myself who play in statics, we will already be on Viper for our teams. If we don't like the changes, what are we to do? Quit our teams because we no longer want to be on that job? Try to find another team the day of? Or just not go into the first tier playing as Viper because we're scared of what the changes might be?

If changes must be considered, I think they should come out either substantially before or a little bit after the drop of the tier, and should ideally be shared beforehand so players have time to make a decision about what they want to do.

Agreed. When people complained about MNK changes in 5.0 that were actually detrimental (having to wait on a server tick in the opener for a resource before combat could even begin), Yoshi-P said not to be hasty or make snap judgments, and we had to wait 2 years only for MNK updates that didn't actually even address the problem. What ever happened to the "don't make snap judgments" Yoshi-P?

I would say that they should've held off on any changes until at least after Arcadion Savage, so they could at least collect some metric data on how the job is performing in Arcadion Normal.
