Relax Or DIE posted:Maybe they'll eventually give up on trying to force players into the 'field.' The cool thing is that Diadem/Eureka is not even part of the "field", instead you have to dedicate your playtime to those specific instances - no questing, no "normal" fates or hunts, no queuing for other instances.

Improve Diadem/Eureka by stealing the WoL from Smash so you can be the WoL in the WoL while you WoL the WoL. Also

Vermain posted:Did you use a free trial on the Steam version beforehand? If so, I'd honestly recommend just registering a new service account if you're interested in playing. Level 15 doesn't take that long to hit again, especially on your second time through, and it's less of a hassle than trying to resell. Nope I played all through ARR/HW on Steam, and decided I could use the 50% discount to pull my account off steam since it was the same price as Stormblood. But no, if your account is flagged as Steam at all then you will never be able to be not-Steam even if you rebuy the entire game. You can't move your character(s). So, I have a Complete Edition that's useless to me.

They could also keep the FFXI style game modes in FFXI and give us more cool dungeons, raids or trials, and relic steps that incentivize people going back to old content to keep the world alive rather than sticking them in a massively pointless instance where they can't even queue for poo poo, lol.

I feel bad for whoever has to design the new BLM because the class is perfect right now and you can not improve on perfection. But on a personal level, I would like some bigger fires please. e: maybe more flares too

The most important changes to make to BLM are at its low levels. You should get some version of Enochian and Fire 4 (“void fire”) or something really early, like at level 15 or 20. It would also be cool if you unlocked Umbral Ice III upon switching from THM to BLM to better fit the flavor of black mages being able to pull endless aether from the environment rather than their own bodies, but that would call for some really drastic changes to low level gameplay so I can’t in good conscience demand it. As for new high level stuff I want to see Freeze and Burst become serious, raid-applicable attack spells. Also Foul upgrades to Ultima.

i can't contribute to BLM skill discussion but i can share a funny BLM related tale in a recent HoH run i queued in as MCH and was partied with 3 BLMs. i got poxed on the very first floor. we had no pomanders to deal with it. we spent the next several floors having every BLM cast Erase on me on cooldown to try and stave off my impending death i still died several times, but i laughed the whole way thank you for listening

You explode, and then a Summoner comes and channels TeraFlare on your corpse to mock you.

Oxygen Deficiency posted:Okay everyone Nah, check it: 72: Flare Mastery-- Casting Flare advances the Polyglot timer by 5 seconds. 74: Fire Mastery-- Fire 4 now grants Astral Fire/removes Umbral Ice, as appropriate, and does not require Enochian. The new Fire 1. 76: Five 5-- Deals fire damage, does not grant Astral Fire, etc. The new Fire 4. Probably requires Enochian. 78: Ice Mastery-- Upgrades Blizzard 4 to Blizzard 5, which grants Umbral Hearts and a 30 second spell speed buff 80: Foul Mastery-- Casting Foul grants Calamitous Aether, transforming Flare into Quadflare. Quadflare-- It's Flare, except it has an instant cast time, doesn't eat your MP, and the Flare Mastery benefits are doubled. I expect my check in the mail, Yoshi-P.

I want to see an Ultima spell or something that has a bunch of requirements and also a huuuge, not-swift-castable cast time, like 5s or 8s before spellspeed. But of course it would also deal like four Fouls’ worth of AoE damage.

For 5.0, we have responded to player feedback (drawn entirely from players who paid the maximum sub costs during 1.0) and re-implement elemental damage types and resistances. Fire/Blizzard/Thunder will be replaced with Attack1/2/3 lines and you can choose which elemental damage type each line uses while out of combat! No we didn't let any other job change their elements why would we do that. Also Flare is locked to fire damage.

You joke, but when BLU was announced to have elemental weaknesses, one guy in my LS was really hoping they would do that for everyone. When I mentioned how it would utterly screw BLM out of any fire resistant fight, or WHM out of earth, he told me that was good and some jobs should be intentionally awful for X content in order to promote leveling multiple jobs.
