I never said that “nobody wanted slayer first”, I said that they provided no data to back up their claim that a majority of players wanted slayer first.
Your examples are not representative and are biased a fact which you refuse to accept
Again, streamers posting surveys on twitter with maybe 1k responses is not accurate, it’s a biased population sample and a small one.
So the burden of proof is on me alone? Look at the posts, look at reddit look at the amount of people that are complaining about this.
As I have already stated the most “accurate” of all the pools would probably be the reddit post, which does not even have 50% of the votes for slayer, so not a vast majority
You would think the letter would be more urgent, more so than the raids. You can release raids, but if no one is doing it, and everyone feels like their missing out. They will miss out, in fact at least the large majority will miss out. They nerf shards, they need to nerf materials and gold as well. Were 2 years behind in the grind, it’s nice were catching up, but one reason for mass burn out is were moving way to fast to begin with. Why not just give us 300% more materials? Why do we need to constantly push for content every 2-3 months, we did this 5 times already at the 20k concurrent tells you people are tired.
Literally nobody cares about Zeals, he is rude and literally insufferable, no surprise that his viewership is always declining, only time he has a decent audience is when he is the only one streaming with no competition from other big streamers lol
Not to mention that his entire personality is based on being a coomer whale, with little to no skill in actually playing the game, only way he can clear content is by over gearing the shit out of it
But the die hard coomer fan boys will always be around to defend their master idk
I care about Zeals as much as any other streamer, it’s just second monitor content when I am bored. Sometimes they have useful information, sometimes they are turnips. I value the information they provide but I fact check what I care about myself over just assuming some Streamer knows wtf they are talking about for the na/eu client.
Just like the forums, it’s simply second monitor content. The biggest difference is i don’t have to pay some random dude to not watch ads on the forums
The Community Managers arent the CEO from either SG or AGS so they dont decide what happens. They at the very least forward the “Current State of Things” that are being discusses (i suppose by weekly meetings), so you cant take what they tell us here as 100% what they say will happen, still we should thank them for their work and forwarding of info.
This choice came from above, leave the CMs out of this.
I think moving slayer up is understandable, but it really does feel like a stab to the gut for aero enjoyers because not only do they have to wait, but they have to wait all the way until august.
I feel that if you were going to swap them the least you could do is move aero up a bit. It’s also even worse for them because they have 0 time to prep for Akkan since it releases simultaneously. They now first have to spend at least 3-4+ weeks doing older content to get relic set/brel gear etc before they can even start considering looking at akkan normal.
It’s very strange that you would leave July as such a dead month (yes hell raid is still content but it’s only for a very select group that does it) and pack August as full as it can get with class, new raid, new guardian, new chaos and more.
With a 6 character, 1520+ roster, you will generate about 1.8 million gold between now and the Akkan release. It costs 950k gold just in honing cost not including materials. The total cost in materials is 4 million gold at current market prices on US East.
Assuming you farm all the materials needed, you still need 16000 Superior Orehas, which costs about 120k gold to make. This cost also does not include:
Buying blue crystals for pheons
Buying ancient accessories
Buying gems
If you wait until you have farmed Akkan NM for all your pieces, then the cost is almost 1/4 - 1/2 of the cost to hone Brel HM ancient gear.
The mistake people make honestly is thinking that it is that people believe that it is feasible or supposed to be possible to have all 6 of your chars always on the new content. The later we get the less feasible it gets. But people expect this to be still Brel Normal somehow where you easily get 6 chars ready for everything.
That’s not how things are supposed to be in end game get your main to 1580 and park it then work on the rest. The stuff you get there cool the ones you don’t you don’t. People need to stop FOMOing and thinking everything has to be their way while forgetting that we know exactly that things exponentially take longer to reach… People in KR also just had 1-2 chars ready for Akkan they are now at the point where they got their 6 chars at it 6 months later.
Stop expecting these full rosters needing to be there for the new content it will only hurt yourself and in reality it’s not doable for the majority.
if they wanted to give the western players the unique chance to play a new class, they would do so with the new souleater coming out later on the KR server. slayer/aeromancer are not the new class when august comes. souleater will be.
