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

This is becoming an issue with low level content, as the smaller the margin the more random and unpredictable is the result. Try good king Moogle Ex on min ilvl no echo - his meteor cast can kill even on full hp with shields, only because it can either crit or direct hit. It’s currently the matter of trying your luck if majority of your party survive that randomness or not. I am sure it was not designed to be uncontrollable.

They already have lol

We haven't had our class levels in a squish yet.

The keyword was “talking”

[LilyPendragon]

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

I'd be fine with a level squish tbh. Would give them the impetus to fix the godawful low level experience

Honestly when it comes to levels half of them are all ARR. At this stage if they decide to do a level reduction I could see them reduce ARR from 1-50 to 1-20 and just squish the stats in the 1-20 range where 20 = the current 50. Then the current max level would drop from lvl100 to lvl70 instead. That would level out the game ranges somewhat. As for levels and stats in future I think the real problem is that they need to reorganise several jobs abilities and not prune but make them better organised so that lower levels aren't as severely crippling without higher level abilities.

For level squishing, I still say ARR could probably taken down from 50 to 30 as it's not like all the Jobs get enough skills and traits to NEED 50 levels... It would drop all the max levels of all the expansions by 20, creating some more room for future expansions. Also give them a reason to go properly rebalance most of ARR as all the dungeons still kinda feel like they're designed for skill potencies as they were back in around 2014.

As a dumb monkey brain caveman I see big number my brain happy.

pls do not squish again

[elioaiko]

I knew the squish wasn't enough even in EW.

Did they adjust/fix the formula to handle the increase? Idr.

I do like seeing massive numbers tho.

Imagine if our numbers got knocked down to 1000 as our crit number?

It would be comical.
