Dev Tracker: Discussion

[PSOfanatic]

Just enjoy the game the way you want to enjoy it. The game has always had major flaws...many of which were already stated in regards to "Job of the Month".

This game is impossible to balance. I accepted that and stopped caring about it a year ago. There is always going to be a top dog job.

The game just doesn't have the community to do a lot of these events so people are resorting to tactics where they can manage a win with less effort/work. Don't most people play jobs they don't care about to gear jobs they do care about? (Specifically the DD realm).

Did a JP really ask about NM's resistance to geomancy? Because the way google putting it, seems as if they're considering future NMs and content resistant to Geomancy..

[vivbiibasjiu]

SE did originally say certain NMs would be flat out immune to certain geomancy debuffs on occasion, before GEO came out. Like if an NM is 100% completely immune to any form of poison, it would be immune to Geo-poison.

Who the fuck only has one job leveled in this 10+ year old game?!?

People that went super casual 2-3 years ago and only cared about 1 job like myself!

[Vathris]

Its usually they day that the previous login campaign ends that we get all the info about the next campaign, correct? No info on other campaigns either, like double CP (please be double CP again...).

It really isn't that hard to get something like GEO up to a usable level.

including nuke/debuff/cure gear or just for bubbles? if for bubbles i agree if for rest nope needs a bit more. and geos only useing bubbles without some nuke effort meh :/ (which is 90%+ of the geos out there)

[Kyte]

No, I mean just bubbles and an okayish DT set.


As far as bubble-onry GEOs being meh- Yeaaaaah, they are- but when I try to get shout GEOs, I'm not really expecting much and I go in under the assumption that they aren't really going to be contributing direct damage.

I don't wanna be usable I want to have some fun, there is zero reason to be "usable" when you know the game is dying in 2 months.

[Kyte]

Sometimes you have to play jobs with lower gearing thresholds in order to get stuff for the things you actually want, which might have higher gearing thresholds. This includes intrajob functions, such as nuking on GEO, as well as for other jobs.

Except this game was alive for 10 years, and by your own words, you were still a one trick pony back then.

So it's fine to nerf a job that isn't the best at anything beside solo and aoe kill old content 2 months before the end because the game is 10 year old ? The only thing that REALLY need a nerf is what make everything broken( mage setup, ranged magical ws setup or pet ready move), it's geomancer / the ability to get 100% def down/malaise.
I'm pretty sure most thing would be balanced right now if geomancer did not exist.

[NynJa]

No where in my post did I say anything about nerfing anything. My original statement was pertinent towards only having one job in a 10 year old game designed to allow multiple classes per character, nothing more.

[Sechs]

He doesn't have only one job, he was probably talking in general.

[NynJa]

Sorry, my original comment was to barber.

Either way, its not hard to level a job. How "fun" is it sitting in your mog house because you only have one job in a game that has 22 jobs and is designed to be multi-class per character?

Some people do random solo stuff on their one job. I have had many friends who are what we'd call a 'casual', in that they play maybe 3 times a week on one job.

And they would just go out and do random solo shit all the time, and that was that. Not every player is hard as fuck and aims for pimp gear and to rock the latest content. Hell Ive got LS members who still don't have any delve clears because they just don't care about post adoulin content. They'd much rather go farm dyna/salvage and solo nyzul isle, shit like that.

Yeah but as it is, no PUG or LS will welcome those other jobs, even once you do gear it. So you better enjoy soloing or have friends who will tolerate it

Although this was always the case with certain jobs, when it's been so unbalanced that you bring ONE dd job to all events, those who aren't interested in that job will just quit

Personally i don't give a damn about someone soloing VD battles while i can "only" solo D. What i find frustrating is my LS could always do these events before BST was jotm, but now we bring bst onry because it makes things just a little faster. I mean is that really worth excluding 14 other jobs? But i have no say in the matter until it's nerfed

Nerfing bst will just lower the variety in job/strat even more, the root of the problem is geo debuff being too strong.

Yeah this half CP campaign needs to end. Especially with this 1200 goal and it actually being nice for a lot of jobs to have those gifts

[Kanriel]

Bubble-only GEO's are meh, but there is some content where being more than that is extremely tough (see: Sinister Reign). I have a fairly geared GEO and honestly I contribute more meleeing than attempting to nuke/debuff on most of those bosses.

Also, the month-long campaigns are being weird. In June/July the campaigns were announced on the 2nd of the month. In August they waited until the Rhapsodies patch to put them up. So I'm guessing maybe they're doing the same for this month. But they do not have a "regular" cycle for the campaigns just yet.
