DT-gear seems bringing players' stat back to pre-squished ShB level?

Hope CBU3 team has figured out how to resolve the problem that required stat-squish to happen in EW in the first place. Don't want to see another stat squish next expansion.

Pretty much to be expected with a gear treadmill.

The numbers keep going up with every new level cap and every new tier of itemlevels. So yeah, there is likely another stat squish down the line unless they find an alternate solution til then.

Wait till they will start talking about level squish not just ilvl

This squish resulted in very small delay, now jobs are reaching 200k hits already and we will get above 30k dps at the end of this expansion.

Same issue as for wow. One idea would be to keep a fixed max level, and every expansion anyone within the last 10 levels gets reset down. So if max is 100 then everyone between 90-100 get's reset. Along with all gear being downleveled.

That way they won't have to re-adjust the scaling or constantly pile new stuff on top of the jobs.

They already have lol

[CamuiKushi]

They absolutely did not squish enough tbh

[CaptainLagbeard]

They were always going to reach the same levels again... But there's probably going to some more squishing at some point in the future because as much fun as it is seeing numbers go up in an MMO, when the boss Healths start reaching into the trillions things may have gone too far.

From what I understood, the stats squish was mainly done because 32 bit systems started struggling with the high numbers. That being Microsoft already dropped support for 32 bit systems for a bit, Creative Studio 3 also announced that FFXIV will no longer support 32 bit systems a while back. There may still be some changes in the code required but to me it looks like we can keep bringing stats further up.

So I don't know. We may get another stat squish going into 8.0 in 2 - 3 years but we may just be fine without it.

We already close to the ShB Dmg Numbers and not even the Tier is out yet after the Expansion we will be atleast at 30k so im hyped for it xD
