View Full Version : Emp level 85-90 fairness.
I would like to know if SE plans on putting more Key Items in boxes like they did awhile back? I think it is unfair how some weapon upgrades can get Key Items in boxes to pop NMs while others are forced to camp/kill nms for items, or purchase them from Auction House. How about leveling the playing field and put more Key Items in boxes.

IDK how that would go with the playerbase in general....the list is already pretty long and causes frustration as is when people are going for specific things from gold boxes.

i wouldn't complain, SE usually nerfs things instead of improving them...

I would rather complain about the jump from 75 items WILL get 1 of each fight, to 1500 items you MIGHT get 1 each fight at like a 20~40% drop rate... But thats just me. As for the KIs I think its weird but I also wont say anything because those zones its not a big deal. Now in Scars with time pops, and Visions with 8 NM fights to pop Chloris... That, I would have complained about before the change.

Mean how Fistule Trials are so easy compared to Glavoids?

Or worse yet, Chloris!

Depends on your perspective. For a lot of people out there, something like Orthrus or Apademak is preferable to Azdaja. Yeah, the triggers aren't free but the tradeoff is you can pop at your leisure and spam the NM if you want.

Is Vacant Bugard Eye gold chestable? If not that's pretty lame considering that the other two Heroes of Abyssea Wyrms' KIs are(Bloodied Dragon Ear and Bregrimed Dragonhide)

I'm still waiting on them to add multiple ??? for the KI NMs so I'm not stuck waiting on some NIN & WHM 2box take 10 years to kill a basic NM.

You would think there would be like 2~3 ???s for Amarok and the other lesser NMs seeing as it makes body seals a pain to get when people are KI farming. Also that the Emp Trial NMs have 3 sets of ???s each, does make it seem odd.
I would think you would want the challenge of collecting KI's and Upgrade items to be balanced with how potent the weapon is. The more potent Empyrean Weapons would come from the more challenging KI sets & NM's.

Look, no matter how you look at it, it is not a challenge, IT IS A BIG MASSIVE GRIND. Simplifying the KI sets would help to remedy this grind to be more bearable. And yes a lot of these empyrean trials in abyssea are unbalanced, some are very easy, and actually quite powerful, example samurai and ranger/corsair path. While others are saddled with NMs with excruciating paths that will take you much much longer to complete. I don't think this is balanced. Unfortunately, the current team is done with abyssea contents, I doubt they will revisit or tweak it, even if we continue asking for this. Abyssea is a grating reminder that the previous team lead by Yoshi did a greater job at creating a successful content. But one should never give up hope :)

I can kinda see where they tried to balance the different paths at different stages. While Vere is hell to get to the 80 stage, the 85, and 90, trials are much simpler. Kannagi starts out easy as pie but Apademak is a pain in the rear. Except for Guku, Sobek is pretty standard difficulty for Abyssea. It's still stupid and unbalanced, don't get me wrong, but I can see where they sort of tried... a little.
