About Positionals

[noelregnard]

Oh yeah having to waste yet another precious hotkey to deal with a bad system totally makes it better. I also know how the circle hit boxes work, my point was you have fights where you can't even do them at all so why are they in the game? Fights should be consistent with how you deal your damage. So lets break this down again...

Just like we have swift cast to ignore cast time, arm's length to ignore KB, invul to ignore mechanics. Also LMAO at "precious hotkeys", this is hysterical.

We have some melee jobs that don't have to deal with them.

The go play them. Different jobs are made for different people. How is it so hard for you people to understand this?

We have bosses that don't even allow you to do them.

Different fights are different. Crazy am I right. We should all make every fight the same just with different visuals! Oh wait, that's already 90% of the game.

We have what feels like a vestigial ability still in the game to ignore them.

Already addressed

The new class put into the game is having a patch within the first month of launch to remove them.

Because of some crybabies wanting to ruin yet another job

Why are they even in the game? To have something that people say "Well you can ignore it if you want anyways" so again... why is it in the game? People shouldn't feel like their damage is getting gimped by not participating in this "optional" and outdated part of the game. It doesn't matter if you aren't forced to do them, the feeling is still always there. You also shouldn't have certain classes just locked off forever if you don't want to deal with the system by just avoiding those jobs in the first place. It just feels so outdated and unfun, if they were so good then combos would still be required to land your positionals.

You can ignore pretty much everything in this game. There are people who only RP, people who only do fishing, people who only play mahjong etc. I don't recall these people calling for the removal of parts that they don't enjoy. Why CAN'T you be like them?

It's the least fun part of any job that has them. They're arbitrary and don't make sense at all. Outside of a few outliers like a ninja's trick attack which is probably the only one I'd keep in the game. Also when you're doing them efficiently you are barely moving, since you'll be in the center of the flank and rear so you have to take one step at most to trigger them. Like at that point are you really hitting a full rear, or a full flank? No. So why have them? You're just gaming an already gamey and niche system not at all playing it the way it was probably originally intended.

Once again, don't do positionals if you don't like them.
