Hardcore Raider Accused me of RUINING The Tanks in FFXIV

mattallen6690: how you stretched like 3-4 minutes of another video into a 36 min long video is truly astonishing.

Jay-mx5ky: Blaming a streamer vs blaming the developer is such a braindead take.

FreeHughes: Xeno looked older during stormblood

Xyrenos: Thumbnail made me think that Req had come back for more

PersonaMC231: This raid tier made me feel that Heart of Light and Dark Missionary should be changed to be what the current Addle/Feint is. More mitigation on magic damage, but reduced mitigation for physical damage.

alaineninmah7040: THis dude is probably the same type of person that will say cover is a broken ability even though its 50 oath guage and 2 minute cd.

infinidragon: I'm so glad the "what am I supposed to do with 8 rage" part got into this video as that made me die laughing back in the day, and was still funny now.

TheTrev5000: "he wants to remove the one unique thing of living dead in which is you die which is a benefit." nu-uh you cant tell me this is some form of bait i refuse to believe he actually thinks like this

shiznaztm476: I am 7 minutes into the video and the only thing Xeno has let the video guy say is "piss baby"

Edit: I have finished the video.

As someone who played since launch day and has not been unsubbed since the start, I personally think the devs HAVE leaned too far to one end of the pendulum in terms of homogenization. For context, I used to be more hard core, I now consider myself casual.

I for one see Heavensward balance as extremely overblown, jobs being "excluded" stemmed 100% from Resistance-Down debuffs, as well as Paladin being awful against magical damage. That's it, that's why jobs were excluded, not because they were shit, but because party optimization was rigid and necessary unless you were over geared.

Both of these things are, and were, easily fixed by things they implemented in Stormblood, removal of the debuffs, and fixing block (I think that was Stormblood?) The problem is, they kept going, slowly picking piece by piece from jobs that weren't the golden child in the role.

Every job back in the day DID have an identity, and felt more unique to play. Were they harder? Yes. Were some TOO hard? Yes. These things can be fixed without ripping the soul from the job. I main Machinist. It's not even remotely close and has gone through 3 massive transformations since it's inception, and it's inception was in my opinion peak design for a gun/proc based job.

The issue is we've moved a bit too far in one direction. Yoshi P has admitted this in recent interviews. Now, Yoshi P is a PR man, he's going to say things to eat your subscription, he doesn't have to say things that are true, but Dawntrail has shown the design is moving in a slightly better direction with some of the mechanics in this tier.

Through EW and a good bit now, everything is on a strict timer, and the only way the Devs can make things feel difficult is if they glue your two minutes with an obnoxious mechanic.I will say it feels rewarding if it is difficult to execute. But in essence, this does not feel fun, and it will never feel fun.

Even more recently like Shadowbringers where 2 minutes were slowly disappearing. Even small optimizations of "oh, the MNK has Brotherhood at 80 seconds, let me save x y z to get a bit extra out, or help out his chakra stacks" is completely gone. Jobs on 60s rotations used to get to experience more instances of having to optimize and prepare for mechanics, not "oh the whole raid gets to do the obnoxious 2 minutes at the same time!" which only benefits mobile jobs. (Lol 7.0 Black Mage)

All I'm saying is, these things that they have fixed, and our boy Xeno has "theoretically" gotten implemented for the game are good, but now we have it too good if you ask me. Nothing makes me want to get out there and learn or optimize my job more, because it's handed to me on a 2 minute timer.

Niles_Ism: Xeems had a glow up worthy of inspiration

grandruby5343: The easiest possible changes that can be done to DRK and GNB in terms of their mits is to just give Dark Mind, Dark Missionary, and Heart of Light a 10% damage reduction across the board and keep the magic damage reduction. That way, they aren't completely useless for full sections of fights. I personally like the idea of having something excel greatly when it's niche comes up, but when it's unusable

AlvinY4kitori: why so scared of saying a name? xeems rebranded to lord baldemort or something?

elizadfera3556: As someone who has mained WAR as my tank of choice since 2.0, I can tell this person 1, did not play back then. 2, did no research on this other than read a video title. To me they are just coming off as 2 button casual looking for 15 minutes of fame riding your jock.

nathanswanson21: "You should never have a job in a game that gets excluded"

I'm looking at you ESO. That's exactly the reason I quit that BS game and came back to FFXIV because ESO only wants Arcanist parsers in raids. If you're not bringing a support dps in then you're an Arcanist or you will be denied. It's ridiculous

KinkBaron: This guy should just go and play WoW, class design is so unique there, to the point that either you'll be instant invited to every group for certain tiers/raids, or people won't even look in your general direction, all depending on the class you play.

TajinQ: Some mfs don't understand clunkyness is never good difficulty

KainZC: Thanks guys, thats exactly what i need, to know someone out there who is more stupid than me to make myself feel better

NastyMick: It's very funny to me how much sway people think content creators have over the game. Bruh, I WISH the devs listened to Xeno on this sht. Then maybe DRK wouldn't suck so much cok.

wmolockjr: Thank you Xeon for that PLD blocking magic change. I played PLD and MNK since 2.0 and i remember Heavensward. I reluctantly changed to DRK during raid and i hated every time i had too. But i did it for the raid and i we got thru the encounters. The time where i could play PLD i was so happy. Unfortunately for the dude you are reacting too, he is objectively wrong about DRK and it needs a rework.

aiu941: tbh i think both the other guy and xeno have a point. there shouldn't be a tank that's strictly worse than everyone else in every area, xeno is right. but xeno does also tend to just want things to be easy cause he's constantly advocating for removing difficulty in jobs gameplay, or when he looks at tanks in dungeons he's like "no actually warrior being unkillable is good, the other tanks is unpowered war isnt op" or "gnb needs to have nm buffed so everything fits in" instead of letting players figure out what's worth. although im not sure calling him a pissbaby is very productive lol

also kinda funny seeing xeno and the other guy both completely misinterpret each other about living dead lmao, truly gamer moment

Nora-rb6tr: "Pve shouldnt be balanced" yeah we're talking to a really smart fella here

RElNHART1: Remember when Paladin could only block physical damage?

nicolasbily1868: The guy is just upset because Xeno is right about tanks.

LuminateTheWorld: Talks about oblation being so unique when half the other classes in the game have the same exact ability

naruheme5268: I think if they made Carve and Spit and Abyssal Drain a 30 second move that gives a Blodwhetting style self-heal buff it'd make a world of difference.

mjrxciv1661: you know what Xeno i used to absolutely hate you and your content and mentality years ago but once i started raiding more hardcore i came to understand your views more & that it might be cool and unique but actually making the jobs and skills viable is way more important to the game is alot better tbh, big respect to you man

coalsome: Why is this guy fighting so hard for DRK to not be better…you should want your job that you love to be better, not stay trash

blooddazeddevil: "at some point balance becomes boring" yeah cuz i was having so much fun back when i played wow where no pug groups would let me in because i was playing a shaman for 3xpacs

Yoonoh: personally I think this guys take is insane, but I do think that your changes you suggest typically lean into hominization a little too much for my liking

antonytomas1: Nah, the pathetic FF community ruined the game. Xeno is too good a streamer to be stuck on XIV.

denixboi8004: I cant fart Sludge

jarekIM: I'm impressed that xeno has been on the design team for so long without telling anyone.

AngelMeteor: When we want all jobs to have similar-ish performance and applicability isn't us wanting "job homogenization", it's called wanting job consistency

linkpwnsevery1: He just making shit up and throwing shade to piss someone else and making accusations for being trash himself. He literally has no clue what he's talking about.

DoktahDoktah: I'm new to the game and still a sprout but when I got Dark Mind my first thought was "that is not going to get alot of use." And if I had to make a change to Living Dead it would be a better visualization to display it. Because I wish people knew more on the fly, I don't want to be healed.

Ullyr: TBN would feel 10x better if netcode wasn't god awful AND if it lasted a few more seconds so you could preempt it better to combat the shit netcode.

herosmashyumi: as im watching this im staring at his "welcome to paladins job gauge" icon on his video

Sayuury: You guys remember when mch wasnt alowed to go in p8s because they was to bad for the dps check such a good time

Jon_the_Wizard: Whoever that "hardcore raider" is, I'm sorry to hear about him being an unrepentant idiot and I hope he gets the help he needs.

thegamemattster: Bloodfest on 1 Minute

WantonSky: jeez I really hate how ppl say fucking dark mind only mits magical is fine

how bout we make other tanks only mit physical and see how "unique" it is xdd

Greed540: I love darkknight but this guy is on some serious drugs man

YoSoyConando: I hadn't really touched PLD since Heavensward fucked it so bad. I finally came back to it and am having so much fun with it.

objectionablechione: HE'S ACTING LIKE XENO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE DEV DECISIONS
