Is anyone particularly happy with the new gear from New Salvage?

[Arcon]

Why would you even bother using those teleports when everyone is given a set of fireflies, anyway?

Wasn't that how you got the win during old Salvage? I thought just killing the boss itself wasn't enough.

[Caketime]

Sometimes I think they set this sort of thing up on purpose just so some poor soul will be cheated out of a piece and have to go back for it (probably multiple times). Either that or they just don't know what the hell they're doing.

It's got to be on purpose, given that these sorts of shenanigans have the potential to happen during most events in some form or another. Being completely screwed by asshattery is part of the play experience.

Nope, I'm pretty sure to this day there are teleports down at the bottom of those areas that remain unused for me. You get the title (and thus the "win" in any relevant sense of the term, IE mythic quest) just by killing the boss chairot. Why walk all the way to the side room to exit if I can just use my fireflies or get a warp II?

I'm on the fence with the gear, need to go back and build the original piece's to get anything I'd benefit from. That's a bit of a tall order seeing that most of the guy's I'm running with don't need too.

The new set up I love. Thank god the horrible cell's are gone.

Haven't tried the old salvage since the update, does it use the cell system still? (If it does, can it be converted to the non-cell system?)

No cells. The new salvage is a lot of fun but there is the problem of NO INTEREST. I find it really hard to make groups. Most people still want to do NNI since salvage is work without the gear being vastly superior like it should be. Not only that, but I just realized that once you run out of assault points, you would need to use tags to get more and NNI uses tags too. I think NNI should have its own tag system separate from the tags you need to assault. People shouldn't have to pick between NNI and Salvage because the way things are right now, NNI will win every time.

No cells.

He was talking about old Salvage, and old Salvage still does use cells.

[Schrute]

Really missed the ball on this one. NNI fun and great gear. This could have been awesome and breathed more life back into this game but the rewards are just, yuck. few pieces in every set that looks good, and the rest is just meh. All they had to do was make the gear on par with NNI gear and then let us pick our poison. I was huge on salvage back in the day, just because the gear was amazing back then, gave me something to shoot for. After having 15/15 NNI gear and still helping other people when I get the chance, starting to get bored.

Hopefully when seekers of aduline comes out they will have fixed the enmity system, other jobs, and maybe, just maybe release some gear that would steal my heart once more O-O

[Taint2]

The gear in general is pretty lack luster. But so was the original Salvage gear. There are definitely some must have pieces like Usu Feet for a SAM or Usu Head for a MNK.

The nice thing is a good 4 man unit can plow through most zones in an hour and complete atleast one +1 item a week.

Uggh, that's horrible. I hope they change it.
