Live Letter LXXXVI 86 Discussion Thread

[Luca_]

My favorite part of patch 7.2 is that it's going to bring content to the game by adding nothing but a wait for patch 7.2x to patch 7.2 to bring content to the game.
Is it so hard to just release something to do already...?

"Well this is how they've always released things."
"You just burn through content too fast."
"It would be overwhelming if they gave us more than one thing to do at a time."
"It's not SE's fault you're not a (raider/crafter/whatever single piece of content they added), you're only playing half the game so don't complain."

I feel like I'm going insane. Do people not realize this MMO takes $12.99 out of their bank account every month or that they paid for this expansion?

What are the devs even doing with the average class balance

It’s so obvious the devs have no idea how EN players play this game. Buffing melee then “making up time harder” won’t make melee more rewarding, it’ll make EN players come up with even more elaborate melee uptime strats biasing the melee further and with their unrestricted dominance with the nerf of PCT we will be back to “melee do more damage because……….”

Like was PCT that much of an afront they have to lobotomise BLM again and nerf it nerf PCT AND buff the melees

And it will make melee players whine because they're dropping a handful of GCDs over a whole fight and complain that they should be able to have 100% uptime like a rphys job.
Rphys jobs of course, that they also spend time crapping on because those should know their place as they have no uptime constraints to play around and are by definition definitely no effort, and more effort should be rewarded in more damage.

They should add expert crafting during an Any Way the Wind Blows style event. How long you have to finish crafting the item is entirely based on RNG.

Reminds me of an idea I had during ARR about letting crafters enter a Navel instance: Titan for All, Craft or Fall.

i know im the minority. but as a melee im looking forward to it.

[Gember]

Occult Crescent sounds like it will elaborate on the war of the Magi's lore. I was always interested in that part of the lore's history, so I can't wait to see what its all about.

[Luluna]

The new FFV outfits looked really nice. I am hoping that they are not locked behind jobs we have a long wait to see. I am looking forward to the old FL map coming back.

[Akephalos]

It was to be expected, but I'm very disappointed that the Occult Crescent is releasing 2 months later with 7.25. That feeling has pretty much superseded my thoughts on the remaining news.

they overdo it lately though. cant we decide for ourselves which content we wanna do first?

i guess the savage delay is a wish from the players, but it really feels like they stagger EVERYTHING

[ElysiumDragon]

Live Letter looked pretty good, can't wait for all the new content.

And, because I'm not a 1-game Andy, I'm grateful that the content's staggered. Day 1 for Normal raids, then back to other games until Cosmic Exploration, no-life that for a bit, back to another game, then return so I can no-life Occult Crescent.
