Please don't change Viper

[lKing]

I agree Viper is really fun as it is please don't make it easier or slow it down. If people want to play viper I feel it would be good for the players to adjust with the job instead of vice versa so people can grow, their capabilities instead of dumbing everything down.

Agreed, it's really not difficult at all and it's basically a game of whack a mole with how you just need to hit the buttons as they light up. The game tells you what you need to press so you don't need to use your head at all. The only fun part about it is how "busy" it is, which gives it the fast pace that is literally a part of the job fantasy. Taking out the quickness of the job would make it unbelievably boring and not enjoyable, and also detract from what little job identity it seems to have.

Viper is suffering from success.. that's why they need to simplify it

I like that VPR is more fast paced it's actually a refreshing change from the other jobs with the long GCD's, its finally a job that has good involvement and feels less like a traditional ffxiv class but more WoW like, we need more of this, NOT less!!

SE please leave VPR alone!

I hope they don't change it. It's really sad to me that the game's direction is always decided by the supremely unskilled Japanese community

In case this changes anything, just want to put my voice out there and also say please don't change viper. It is solo carrying all the enjoyment I am having in this expansion. After years and years of job rework, I don't really jive with any of them anymore. Now I finally clicked with viper, not because it resembles things that I liked, but rather because it feels so different to play. I love it because of how busy it is and how I'm juggling its rotation to try to optimize it on the fly. Being busy is what makes viper fun. Having simple things that you have to do really fast also makes my subway surfer brain happy.


So please, don't change viper. At the very least, leave it be for a bit and let people feel it out. We haven't even had a week to play with it yet, and I'm sure many players were focusing on the MSQ and have not leveled viper yet. Those people wouldn't even know how great viper feels at this rate!

The jobs braindead easy, what could they possibly change? Okay that's not entirely fair, it's not Nu Summoner easy but my point still stands. What issues are people having that CBU3 feels the need to fix?

I believe they mention positionals, the positionals are not that bad once you learn them.. I think they may keep the positionals at the ends of the main combos but revoce the other 2 which is not cool really as they dont take much effort to read and do.

Fun? In MY FFXIV? That's preposterous!

[AnnRam]

I absolutely love this job and you're already going to simplify it? maybe just add another ingame tutorial? its really easy and super busy its so fun it feels like a dance. the positionals and speed is what keeps it from being braindead.

please dont gut it. i dont want a slower class. we have a million of those already.

Sorry to disagree but seeing viper players and movements gives me lots of anxiety and that's something SE needs to take care and resolve immediately.

Probably giving it the 2 min window meta sill solve the issue for us.
