Class simplifications

Community General Discussion

I am so glad in midnight they are OVERHAULING everything to make it more new player friendly and easier to get into. And less on complexity and or convoluted gameplay. And I seriously hope they STAND THEIR GROUND on simplifying the game in its entirety.

Those who say the one button thing will fix it is delusional. The one button wasn’t advertised as simplifying the game. It was advertised for those who can’t play the game themselves due to certain issues they have in the real world.

And I hope they make the game easier and since people complain about anything simplifying the game will end all of this.

I had my sweaty gamer crash out and you know what?

I’m gonna give Blizzard the opportunity to cook here.

With this last shred of my good will before I descend into becoming a general forum degenerate, I bless Blizzard with the last part of my hope.

I guess it’s a balance. I’ve tried other mmo’s where the classes/rotations were just too simple to be enjoyable at all. I remember trying FF14 and realizing whatever class I was playing was at its maximum complexity just a few hours into starting the game. Uninstalled.

Like all things, I’m reserving judgement until I get to play it.

Lol wut? One of the biggest complaints about 14 is the fact you don’t really get to feel the full weight of your job until max level.

10

assuming he either means at max level or he boosted

One of the biggest complaints about FF14 is that it’s an RPG? That’s wild.

I figured it would be that it’s boring and lame and generic.

:rofl:

Welcome to modern MMO gaming.

I still think 14 is a more solid game, and these class changes (gutting) only supports that further.

I main a feral/guardian Druid, I pray those don’t get gutted.

My other class is this hunter, and if what was done to it is the future, it will be to boring to be entertaining. Only having a 3 button rotation is a good sleep aid.

i dont have a reason to be excited for this expansion braindead specs not a full raid dont care about housing…

Fair. “Solid” among MMOs is a fairly low bar tbh.

16

14 is going to be having their own job redesign in 8.0 so I get to experience it twice over lol.

how do you gut the original obr class?

It depends how far they go. Some specs were really convoluted but many others are perfectly fine. In terms of complexity, Ret, ele, fury, and many others are perfectly acceptable and dont need much pruning, if any.

I’ll be the first to say that rogues should be at the top of the rework list. All three specs and hero talents need a lot of work.

I think it’s a really bad idea. They will add complexity back overtime, just like after the last pruning.

when you get players who naturally select, “i dont read quests, i just complete them”
that kinda means there is nearly no game play to work with in those types of RPGs.

Numbers and mechanic based RPGs are prob more what is being played.

Like if i combine one ability with this other one while wearing this item i get X effect and boom, 1 shot~
