>smn begs for new egis
>SE says ps3 limitations
>smn asks for egi glamour instead
>get carby skins

Why do they hate us so much

the summoner job was a failed concept in this game, there is no fucking point If I can't summon ifrit to wreck shit

You're never going to be bigdick summoners that make the raid pause to watch your cutscenes, just give it up.

Every single SMN and SCH should be gassed. Class war now.

I'm wondering what new excuse they will use for things now that ps3 is being dropped

>stop making threads about video games in Sup Forums!!!!!!!!!

we have these 10 times a day, fuck off

I like to pretend it's not actually called Summoner, but like, Dark Mage (sure as shit more "dark" than Black Mages are) or something. Helps me actually enjoy the job, because it's a pretty fun clone of WoW's Affliction Warlock, and the only DPS job I can solo EX primals with.

But then I remember it really is a Warlock clone right down to learning similar skills at the same level and that just drags it back down.

I think the only way they could make SMN worse in 4.0 is if they just gut Resurrection entirely.

How would you balance it in terms of visual clutter within the typical arena? Lore? Gameplay?

It's BLU and that's a fact.

I don't know and I don't care, I just want to be the biggest badass in the group.

It would take too much work to change things due to how the game is coded.

:l

That's what I'm saying, I wouldn't have put this class in the game, you can't really have a lot of dudes summoning a bunch of primals to grind rats or have a thousand of them cluttered in the screen

That's what they got going with the Egi, they are lesser versions of the primals, but you don't actually feel like traditional summoning from FF

I don't know, maybe give Summoners abilities in which he briefly summons the Primal and attacks?

>cant use your fc/ls while in pvp

why is this a thing?

>because people will cheat

how? and i doubt it, id rather talk to people to make this shitty pvp roulette go by faster

imo what they should do is just make egis temporary, like 1-2 minute things, and when they expire you summon a different one. And when they're about to run out you use their special ability that consumes them but makes them become like a small ghostly version of the full primal for a second.

At least then the job would have more summoning instead of just once at the start of a fight.

So you don't get distracted.

so you concentrate in the battle and stop talking to your gay boyfriend cat

Put more emphasis on Enkindle and the similar new abilities, up their presentation (i.e. the egi "transforms" into the real primal for a moment, no larger and longer than Typhon in that GATE). Just keep it less flashy than most LB3s, which most are legitimately visually intrusive.

Lorewise, SMN is kinda cool as is, like XI BLU. I'd just leave that shit and the whole "absorb essences within".

Summoner is shit in this game and they have no intention of fixing it, just accept it and try to forget it exists.

They should have made every attacks summons coming out of portals similar to Yuna in Dissidia or Jojo whatever but I never watched that.

But SMN flopped when the game didn't even release with the main 6, it literally only started with Ifrit/Garuda/Titan.

but im already distracted seeing conversations that i want to reply to but cannot

>strongest aoe
>deathflare
>best in general class for raiding and soloing

It's worse now that you can't chat at ALL in PvP with your team, you can now only use specific macro texts provided.

>best in general class for raiding
Good joke, nobody wants a caster.

>missing the meaning of the post

just by looking at the rest of this thread you should have deducted something bro

no idea, it's only going to make premades even stronger since they use discord/voice chat

Frontlines is a fucking nightmare without at least someone doing call outs to round everyone up. It was hard enough to coordinate people as it was even then.

>cant do bants with the enemy
why?

What visual clutter, there's already a bunch of stupid effects flying everywhere at all times as it is, what would a few ghosts floating around punching bosses fucking matter? It's not like anyone plays this game without having their camera zoomed all the way out.

Please empty your head of speedrun strats. Caster has always traditionally been needed in 1-2 roles. In Gordias, BLM mp regen made them perfect for pentacles, magic damage when that one a2s add wasn't properly stunned, a7s cages. T13 had the magic/phys add, t10 had the square/circle, and so on and so on. You bring a caster into any prog group for safety for when they introduce any magic damage specific mechanics, speedrun strats isn't viable in prog when you need to share aiming gear between BRD/MCH.

...Whatever

>doing relic quest
>realise Im just going to have my hard work cucked out from under me in 4.0
>Trident of the overlord looked shit anyway

No, go change to MCH and give me hypercharge, you fag.

pic related when?

go talk to a wall...

gunblade job soon

>Spend hundreds of hours of /playtime playing this game
>Reach the endgame point after completing everything
>"wahh I'm bored this game has no lasting content"

Why do MMO players do this?

How the fuck do I level up other classes in this game? No one does fates. Is it really just duty spamming all day?

>females get my gear

deep
dungeons

POTD, bonus duty roulette

Palace of the Dead
Hunt board
Beast tribe quests
Hunting log
Solo FATEs
Dungeon roulettes

Already have a MCH

More to the point, how do you level up 50+ craft/gather at a reasonable pace ?

>Boring genre introduces boring content that's quickly invalided by bored developers to annoy bored NEETs

I dunno dude, your guess is as good as mine.

Because they think that MMOs should last for thousands of hours without you getting bored and they never play JRPGs where the game is over after 50 hours

Because they're subscription based, people think that means they need to be able to play 24/7 without ever running out of things to do, or it's not worth their money. Doesn't help that the genre is populated with autistic NEETs who use the game as a surrogate for their own shitty life.

Beg in a big FC for someone to help craft items you need for leves in heavensward area's.
Moogle Quests

Worst patch trailer yet. Not because theres really less content, but the content they showed and the music were low energy. There was nothing to get excited about except the 24 man raid design being interesting.

The old 3 primals are pretty fuckin huge. It wouldn't matter if people zoomed out because if TItan or Ifrit is there, its going to make it difficult for any melee to see what's going on no matter how much they zoom out.

>tfw too intelligent to play bard

You don't have to make them as big as they are in the boss fights, or even look the same, dingus, but you have to make them a lot less shit than the stupid garbage Egis everyone hates.

Even the director of the game told people that this game shouldn't be the only thing you play. It's okay to take breaks and play other games when you get bored or tired. Playing a single game nonstop is not healthy and it shows with all those Korean people dying in Internet cafes playing MMOs and MOBAs.

People like the game and want more, duh.

It's not surprising. The surge of MMO animes where the protag is transported into a fantasy would is kind of ridiculous. Everyone wants to live out their database lives, the saddest ambition of any NEET.

They are obviously saving up the music and hype for Stormblood

>break through Baelsar's Wall dungeon to get to Ala Mhigo

>have to wait 6 months to actually go to Ala Mhigo

It sure did, but 3.5 will release the final look.
Someone data mine them already

>people like the game
But the NEETs who bash it seem to imply otherwise. It's a "dead game with stale content and yoshi is a hax

Because everything in the game is literally time gated to artificially extend game time and keep you paying a subscription

why do you break my wall user

It's really no different from XI where NMs that drop important loot are on fixed spawn timers that are camped by bots and JPs while the drop rates are fucking terrible.

>Zenos is a fuckboi
As expected of a "samurai"

PotD DF for floors 100+ yet?

All correct assertions

When I was at fanfest he almost instantly switched to "maybe when ps5" to a lot of questions.

>More tools

99% chance they'll be red scrip bullshit, 1% chance craftable.

>we'll never know how handsome he really is

He wields a gunblade, not a katana you idiot.

The Sohm Al music was great.

its a gunsheath

>Implying you're put into Ala Mhigo the first minute you get Stormblood
Ala Mhigo is Garlean territory. Stormblood would be about liberating it.

Only viable methods you posted are potd and duty roulette

Maybe when they make floor 201+ and have to remove ranking for 101 - 200.

Ranking was a mistake.

They are rumoured to be part of the new Wonderous trails, which will be about crafting andgathering.

If anything they'll be easier to get than current shit, since it's just for catchup to people who are too gay to meld ironworks. Unless they plan on adding 5-star crafts.

So do we know anything about the patch?

>keep you paying a subscription

Oh my god just leaaaave.

>only show 2 and 3 hair
They will look 6 inside diadem won't they

It's the Thanalan 1.0 battle theme.
Thanks Uematsu.

>dun scaith
>beat scathach
>expect ending
>instead of exit, portal appears
>new objective: ???
>with no explanation, it's fucking necron

>reusing 1.0 music again
>great
Yeah, no, maybe.

>Guy has a slightly curved sword
>SAM CONFIRMED!!!

Fuck off SAM people holy shit. SAM might happen but dont act like you predicted it with any real evidence. I guarantee you theres nothing special about this guy's class or weapon.

Wow those are some of the worst cutscene animations I've ever seen. What the fuck could possibly excuse that shit?

can anyone explain why necron appears in the end of ffix?

If yoshi admitted he is using a katana that would be telling us that he is a samurai

Actually there might be a surprise because they only showed 3 bosses in the trailer when 24-man raids have 4. It's also weird that Diabolos barely appears when he's arguably the most important villain of the raid.

It's gunblade.

F: You also said that Zenos will have a unique personality compared to the previous generals. Is there anything you can tell us about that?

Y: I will just say that he will be a character which no one sympathize with.

F: It seems like he holds a katana. By some chance, does he…?

Y: His weapon has nothing to do with his personality, but if you’re asking if it’s a gunblade then yes, it is. Try to look at his art again (laugh). We received a lot of thoughts from players that they wanted to work for Gaius because the 3 cities were “brown noses” so they couldn’t bring themselves to like them. In case of Zenos, I think no one will think of him like that. (laugh) He’s a type of villain you haven’t seen so far.

The "1.0 failed and we're on a tight budget so we can't do cutscenes as good as before" excuse.

FFXI players only do this

they should do better
ffxv is finished

It's the weekly lockouts/caps for sure. There's an undeniable psychological pressure to keep subbing and playing just to fill out tomestones or get that weekly drop, no matter how fucking boring and routine roulettes/PotD gets. Or if you're a stupid goddamn faggot like I am who owns a Large manor and two Mediums houses, now you HAVE to stay subbed just to keep them.

Once one gets over stuff like that, then it's easy. My problem with Yoshi-P's statement about taking a break from the game to play others, is that nothing in the game actually supports that.

There's also the assumption that every single hour spent on the game is meaningful. I run PotD with my friends to 150+ runs for whistles which takes up a substantial amount of time that seriously adds up in content that's fairly boring and mindless, and none of us can really bear it without enjoying something outside of XIV to keep us focused (shooting the shit over discord, streaming something else).

Scrips were a mistake.

Gathering/Craftings have been ruined with 3.0 with this specs and scrips bullshit.

I don't want to. Ala Mhigan scum forced me to do it.

literally the will of the planet, that sees how the fuccboi Kuja wants to destroy everything and determines that all life wants is death, so he wants to wipe everyone out of Terra

then Zidane and the party fight against him and teach him that they want to live

that's the general explanation

Nah, cause where the hell are my gunshield, gunhammer, gunbangnahks etc?

>They are rumoured to be part of the new Wonderous trails, which will be about crafting andgathering.

Wow that's... much worse.

>"Wow, this game has LITERALLY nothing to do"
>What about [All non-raid content]
>"Lol as if anyone gives a shit about that unfun garbage. Only content that raises ilvl matters"

It's like ordering a chocolate milk and complaining it's not lemonade. Why would you even keep playing a game if you absolutely hated 95% of it?

>There will never be a moment in stormblood or any patch where Alphinaud just says "Fuck it, we have the WoL." And send you into a trial/dungeon way over your head
>There will never be a real threat to you
>Murdered all these world threatening primals, and you just keep getting power scaled back for some reason.
I don't get it, we are immensely powerful by the end of Heavensward, we are becoming more of a threat than anything else.
