Giving feedback in this game is pointless (Viper changes)

[SophiaDL]

I wonder when will it reach the point of having FFXIV refugees, I certainly feel like DT has been pushing it.

Not gonna lie probably never going to happen. The majority of this community has absolutely no backbone and will defend this company until the very end, its only the minority that truly cares about the game, the majority just accepts anything they're given and are happy that way (and even grateful), which is pathetic really because they have absolutely no standards but this is just how this game's community is

I'm just glad the positionals stayed. They listened to the feedback on that, at least. I'm not too worried about the loss of the noxious debuff. It'll still play the same.

Edit: I do sympathise with those that enjoyed the debuff management. Just putting in my 2c that I don't think I will even notice a change, but I WOULD notice the lack of positional requirements.

Well where is that outweighing feedback? Have you found it?

I have actually, it's called the Japanese forums.
This is the Viper thread in their DPS Forum: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...3%83%AC/page49

Using a bit of Google Translate and my own knowledge, the reactions seems to be more or less positive to the changes.
They applaud the holding off on the positional requirements, and there's a few posts that are sad about the removal of the poison changes, but overall people seems to be welcoming and willing to try the changes at least.
Which feels for me a huge contrast to how our forums are discussing the changes.

I mean, the changes fit the rest of vipers playstyle.

NG was basically auto-refreshed anyway. Plus it was just carbon copy rpr mechanic.

it does not fit vipers fantasy
Viper, has no debuffs or poisons
VIPER

Honestly I agree

I wish they kept it, we went from a Viper to a Ball Python

Not commenting on the changes because I only play Viper casual but…

The entire reason why they didn’t remove positionals was because of the heavy feedback. They write that themselves.

So I don’t agree that feedback is not listened to.

If anything it shows to give keep giving feedback.

Oh so...they only listen to JP feedback? Classic.

I honestly don't know if that's true, or contains any truth.
I wouldn't be surprised if the developers focussed mainly on Japanese feedback, them being Japanese themselves.
The Japanese player base makes up around 1/3rd of the total player base of FFXIV, so it's definitely a huge portion.

I'm fairly sure that the EU/US feedback is collected as well by community managers or something, so I doubt they are ignoring the things we post here.
But it's speculation at best.

Love how they took away the thing people said NOT to take away, but kept the thing that most people said probably SHOULD go away (Coils positionals).

Its literally ass backwards to feedback. Can they even read?
