Atmacites is also something they fucked up. And atma is 50% of why Abyssea was a hit, which means VW in its own has lost half the fun before it even started.Quote:

10-03-2011, 03:04 PMCreeloIt's such a simple fix too; Idk why SE won't budge on it. x.x People aren't gonna be wanting to do old content (Abyssea) forever and Voidwatch already isn't done at all by a majority of the playerbase... Fixing the loot system would greatly help steer people into FFXI's new content, Voidwatch.Quote:

True most atmacites aren't that strong yet, but neither were atmas barring a select few in the beginning either.
I'd certainly hope they end up being much better later, especially given the crazy cruor requirements to upgrade them. -

Oh they communicated with the player base. They communicated with this dumb**** OP's/their supporters:

Atmas are the worst thing ever, I'm glad atmacites are weak cool fun buffs that don't make you into a king behemoth and every other mob is a level1 bunny. -

The only thing wrong with Voidwatch as most say is the drop system, they fix that and Voidwatch is great. They are trying to make people do it for years to cap their groups on the stuff they want and it's nonsense at this point in the games life.
Even if you get lucky and get the drops you want it could take years to get the drops the rest of your group wants, not acceptable anymore. Honestly, considering how little work they put into Voidwatch NMs (almost all are copies of Aby/other NMs) they could just add new ones quite regular to keep people with stuff to do instead of making us do the same ones over and over. If they don't want to add more and more gears from a mass amount of NMs and that is a problem just add a "plugin" system where you can add stats to the main armors these drop with special jewels from later NMs or something. -
10-03-2011, 07:23 PMReturn1My type huh? You know nothing about me or my old LS I created. I never turned people away for lack of skill or gear. I taught and geared so many people it's kinda ridiculous. The only reason I've ever removed people from my LS was a refusal to learn or for being douchebags. I can see however, you're the type I would be removing from my ls.Quote:
Knowing your type, that's the best reason NOT to have that kind of jump. You folks are already consigning Paladins to the scrap heap for not having a level 90 Aegis/Ochain/Almace based on really absurd standards. What makes you think you professional endgamers won't do that to every other player that isn't into Voidwatch?
My group never had an Aegis/Ochain/Gjallarhorn/etc. We also didn't need them. My LS only died because everyone quit playing after they announced a server merger and breaking the 75 level cap.
Knowing your type, that's the best reason to have these Endgame type of events/jumps. Someone like you, might have been you in another thread, said SE should focus on all the casuals first then focus on fringe EG players. Essentially you're consigning endgame players to the scrap heap because we want challenge or that little extra mile to set us apart.
People like you have really absurd standards, your type wants to have everything fed to you by a magical moogle in your moghouse and ATMAS EVERYWHERE!. Just enter your job and level and desired gear and it pops right on, select your gamebreakingly powerful atmas, and look cool soloing your EP-DC NMs and SandColibri. Now you can SOLO everything in this amazing MMORPG you've designed by having all of your whining granted.
"Casuals" like you are a cancer to this game. A big ol lump right on the testicles of FFXI. You're why this game won't have any Testicles left. It's elitist to ask you to not wear a full set of AF3+2 even though it's pretty obviously gimp for most jobs? Why even bother getting AF3+2? Stick with your Pink, Perle, and Teal 5/5 and tell those elitist AF3 having bastards where to stick it man!Quote:
Pretty soon, you'll be putting down people who wear their complete AF3+2 gear. It's no different from high school when it comes to MMO elitists, except for the fact some of you have long left.
Elitist isn't an insult, and tools these days just throw it, and the word troll, around because they want to look cool. Come on, everyone's doing it guys! -

He is right on one thing though, it is slightly similar to high school. You know all those geeks who say they hate the jocks but secretly all want to be one? Sort of similar here with "eletists" and "casuals".....
