I learned how to play my class by just a general understanding of damage and trade offs. Parsers help keep me "driven" to do good DPS. The reason they are not going to make a third Ultimate for Stormblood is because the prog time for the top players was too strenuous on them. Yoshida: We were originally planning to have an ultimate fight for each "odd numbered patch", but after observing the reactions from the community, there were a lot of opinions saying "Having an ultimate fight every 2 patches is too rough", so we changed our minds and thought 2 ultimate fights per expansion might be better, so i think the ultimate series will be on hiatus for now. This lines up with some of Blizzard's resolutions for DBM. So it sounds like the server told the players about the targets of a mechanic before it should be available information but they already know how to solve that issue. They want to change the timing and how they send the packets, and also improve how the effects/animations allow you to detect the mechanics, in order to confuse those 3rd party tools. To counter this in future content, they will need to add another layer of protection. They don't think it was that crucial of a problem, because that phase takes place early on in the battle. And that's not even considering when you use the tool for triggers you couldn't even have seen in the fight to this time. It's still a significant advantage over people not using it. It may not be cheating on the level of using bots in other games. The guide isn't telling you for every try of the boss what is happening at each point in time. If you read a guide prior to the fight you still need to execute and remember everything you read in the guide during the fight, at the exact time it is happening. So yes you are cheating if you use a (non official third party) tool to not have to do that. You are supposed to memorize the mechanics happening in the fight and reacting accordingly to it. It may not be the perfect analogy, but it's still kinda fitting. It shouldn't matter if I write it down from memory or read it from this letter, right?" There is a difference between u having to learn the mechanics and a third party tool telling you when what happens and informing you about debuffs in other forms the game is providing.ĭid you all cheat in the school by saying: "Hey teacher I know I should have memorized the facts you were teaching me, but it was so much easier to write the small letter down to use during the test. There are many more ways to design bosses in MMOs, and I am hoping that the proliferation of timer mods will push them to be more innovative. IMO, XIV suffers from binary boss mechanics: Dance or Die. If you want that, I don't think we can agree on anything regarding MMO boss design. If players have tools that mark targets of mechanics, then why doesn't the mechanic show an overhead marker as well to convey it? Along with the debuff symbol in the party frames? That is what pushed Blizzard to convey mechanics in a clearer way, and make mechanics that are less binary.Ĭontinuing to design boss fights where the mechanics come in the same order every time with limited deviation will only make the game worse. WoW bosses have much clearer conveyance and diversity of mechanics than it did in prior expansions in part due to the information that DBM provides to players. "It's stupid" isn't an argument for or against addons. It's actually stupid that a game is designed around add-ons.
