I think Roxx commented yesterday or the day before that Artist will likely be one of the last classes released for exactly the reason OP has included in their poll.
The poll may well influence the schedule of classes already set for the next few months by shuffling one up or down but it’s far less likely to get you a class next month that they have planned to be last on the list
I assume you mean this one, she also explicitly said it could change as well nothing is concrete at all. The fact that things can change is apparent with the Glavier release, the fact that sorceress was included over summoner as well.
Regardless of how much the poll may or may not influence decision made for one class or another, to exclude one at all from the poll makes the poll itself disingenuous to a portion of the community. Even if its “far less likely” the probability is not zero.
The point I’m making is simply, that if you want to collect data from the community include all options regardless of personal feelings if it is, or is not “realistic”. It’s not up to us to decide which class to include or not include, all we can do is simply provide a voice and data giving feed back as to which classes we’d like to see.
When you are trying to provide feedback on viable options for the immediate future, it makes perfect sense to actually limit the data you are collecting to actual viable options.
AGS is well aware Artist is in demand, there are many threads about it and it always ranks high in overall popularity. No one is dismissing Artist, OP is just trying to collect useful data for the immediate future.
And to be honest I can also understand them not wanting yet another thread descending into an argument about Artist and derailing the conversation.
I intend to roll an Artist when they come out but be damned if i’m not tired of seeing nearly every class discussion that’s not even about them go south because of people with no sense of perspective
I understand what you are saying I really do. I see many threads myself with it derailing over and over again especially some of the more trolly comments. I genuinely not trying to say one way or another. From my perspective though to exclude the class at all especially when we consider RU has it for sure coming June and JP is a strong chance of receiving her the chance at a global release isn’t out of the question.
The only reason I bring it up at all is the fact the poll specifically is targeting June & July. Far as I’m concerned Scouter could’ve been omitted from the poll my response would be exactly the same. Excluding a class or an option regardless of personal feelings and a singular view angle muddles the data and skews the sample in favor of what may not actually be representative of what people genuinely want because they weren’t even given the option in the first place.
I’m all for a mass community poll on the subjects of what we’d all like to see changed however we cannot omit options as we please just because they may seem “unrealistic”. I am also fully aware that AGS is likely aware that Artist is very desired by the community. But now we have a poll that provides a potential for 10’s of thousands of votes and a set of hard data that isn’t just “appreciate threads” it’s very easy to send this around the community en masse and collect a huge sample size. These hard numbers on this new sample may suddenly show that the community has shifted gears and now wants Arcana instead and that could influence the final release ordering.
Look, I’m just saying give everyone a voice don’t exclude things even if they seem unrealistic we’re providing data and feed back nothing more nothing less. I would like everyone’s feed back to be able to be heard.
I’m not including Artist so it can get 2000 votes of which could’ve gone to another subclass that we for sure can get. My last survey included artist, this one will not.
Honestly i think you should of included artist. Biased vote lol. Clearly a scouter main lol.
I actually think the likelyhood of artist is high due to a need for supports. It makes the most sense to release soon and classes would be designed modular. Meaning it being new doesnt matter. It could easily be the next class if that’s what amazon / smilegate decide.
I’m sorry, but no. AGS showed times and times again that they can switch content up however they want. The most glaring examples being Sorc instead of Summoner on release. If you want to willingly give in to their lies, sure be my guest.
But I reserve the right to call out this poll as biased, meaningless and absolutely disrespectful towards people who have been advocating for Artist and trying their best to fight the corporate lies. It’s the only think they are left with and you, instead of trying to help the community out, are making it just worse. Think about it.
Why would you bring such weird, suggestive and quite frankly, pretty offensive idea into a discussion? Are you not capable of contributing with logic and decency?
Also, I’m Sorc main, I probably won’t even play Artist when they finally release it. It just doesn’t need the personal bias to be able to clearly identify how people are trying to push their own narrative and their own agendas.
These people think i have some sort of agenda lmfao actin like i got some sort of diabolical plan in the works. I decided not to put Artist in the poll because it’s so new that it is more than likely to be the last subclass we get regardless of the votes it has. I’d rather the votes go to classes that we actually know we can get.
