Thank you all so much for participating in all the many polls I've been posting recently! a lot of interesting information, even with the memes and so on on top! Due to the upcoming Fanfest I will have a bit of trouble with doing some stuff for some days of this week, so there will be a bit of a cut in specifically that. However, I am planning to perhaps also bring up the conversation of "What is the hardest role?" or "What is the hardest job?", with the latter focusing on the 5 "winners" of the many polls so far. What I think would be the funniest outcome of something like this, is if one role came out on top as the hardest ROLE, while the job representative of a completely different role came out on top as the hardest JOB!

What's a bit awkward about both, is that with 5 roles, it means that making all of the comparisons as we have done so far, it would take 10 comparisons for each set! I had briefly considered trying a more "tournament style" way, which could cook it down to like 4, but then specific comparisons that might be interesting to know would be missed, so I decided against doing that.

Anyway, as I will have a bit of trouble looking over the data as it would come in this week, I will wait a bit with starting on these kinds of polls, but I do think it would be interesting to see what you all think! :-)

POLL: WHICH JOB IS HARDER TO PLAY IN YOUR OPINION?
Round 15/15 of Melee Comparisons: Samurai vs Reaper

Yesterday's poll: MNK 28% vs NIN 72%. All things considered, I am once again a bit surprised by how big the split was, but then again, this was the result I had expected!

Same explanation as before (If you already read it):
Near the end of Endwalker, I did a similar set of polls to try and determine what the playerbase felt were the hardest jobs to play in FFXIV. An important point that was brought up was that with only having one vote, it was quite difficult to determine the nuance between several jobs in difficulty.
Essentially, such a poll would only be somewhat decent at determining the HARDEST job to play, but rank 2 and below would be guesswork. To try and change that, this time around I'm doing it in a sort of 1v1 sequence of polls, with about one poll per day, and then maybe we can get some data, whether that data turns out to be a proper ranking from first to last, or something more complex, is for us to find out!

For anyone thinking "You could have done this much better with a more complex poll where everyone could just put their priority". Correct, however, unfortunately that is not an option on YouTube, and by simply moving the poll off-site, I imagine I would already lose a huge amount of entries. So we're going to do it like this! (Also these kinds of comparisons can also sometimes lead to revelations that would not have come about otherwise!)
I'm also perfectly aware that we will of course only get a slice of the playerbase that happens to see and interact with these polls, but that's just how it be sometimes!

Next weeks Schedule is ready!
Due to me being somewhat occupied later in the week, the streams this time is very frontloaded!

Monday, we have a Relic Grind and Talk discussion stream! A stream where I casually work out the ARR Relic farms on the OCE Data Center so you can come hang out if you like! We also talk about stuff, maybe check out some clips, and have a good time! I hope to see some of you there!

Tuesday, we are doing LIVE Mentor Roulette once again! Let's see what happens! And I hope to see you there!

And finally Wednesday, we continue Fellowship, a game entirely focused on challenging, infinitely scaling, dungeon content! Last time we reached Paragon, the fourth league step as a duo tank and healer team! I hope you will come check it out!

Remember, Fanfest is this week, and if some of you go to it in person in Berlin, have a look around, you just might see a smol lizard in a big hat! (That's me, but I won't be in costume, it's just me!)

I wish you all a lovely week!

POLL: WHICH JOB IS HARDER TO PLAY IN YOUR OPINION?
Round 11/15 of Melee Comparisons: Monk vs Viper

Yesterday's poll: DRG 39% vs SAM 61%. I have a pretty solid idea of what I think the result is going to be for the various polls, but we of course do them because hey, I might just be wrong, and sometimes I have been surprised! This one was one where I had no idea what to expect, so it doesn't surprise me that the poll was this split!
