Turialon's Complain about the unsocial EMPY upgrades

Hello,

What i can say about gamebalance ist just that one: lots of Mob in ffxi have 5000-6000 HP. So if lots of peoples would wield a empy on 99, i canot see where the problem with the Gamebalance realy is. Many peoples have not much time to play, and i have see no Problem if a easy pray is slayen with 1 or 2 ws. I personal like the uperhand egainst all sorts of mob. I like to chill in ffxi.

You're silly, you can convert currency to hmp, you can convert alex to hmp. That's why they aren't EX. The only thing stopping players from completing an empy 99 is themselves.

Again, you can FARM dynamis for DYNAMIS.
You can FARM salvage for SALVAGE.
Why then can I not FARM Voidwatch for VOIDWATCH?

It's shoddy design, thats why.

I was being sarcastic earlier ... I hope nobody actually thought I was serious about 10,000 plates.

Honestly 1500 is WAY to fcking much, especially when you compared them to the acquisition of other items. Should be 500 and call it a day.

I took it as a 50/50 chance, I was hoping you were joking, but with how high the levels of stupid are around these forums, I wasn't about to rule it out.

The problem with the HMP trial isn't the number of plates involved, it's the asinine rarity of HMPs in general. If the trial required say, riftsand, it would be easy. It isn't a matter of saving up the gil or even wanting to spend that much on a single trial. If even half the people who have an empyrean weapon wanted to upgrade a single weapon for themselves they couldn't because the supply just isn't there. The only reason the few people that have bothered to blow that much gil to get to 95 is because so few others are willing to do the same. If people want snow-flake status, go for the afterglow. I don't see why players should be punished for wanting to make a weapon they made when the cap was 90 or lower 99 relevant.

I don't understand why people are against lowering this ridiculous 1500 HMP.... It should have been 500 to begin with. Yes I get it that SE wants VW to be valid content for at least 2 years or so. But if that is their intention, then HMP should drop off more events and not just void watch, and the pouches should drop off from all the big bosses from each path of the VW chapters (zilart, cop, toau, jeuno, cities, etc...) this way people will spam these, get a good drop rate, everyone make money and be happy.

Because their sense of self-worth is somehow damaged by people they deem to be beneath them being able to complete legendary class weapons. That's the only thing I can come up with.

I think their main intention was to put a 10-foot thick heavy metal wall between the majority of players and completed Empyreans so a handful of players can maintain special snowflake status. Anything beyond that was secondary.

IMO, VW is already starting to lose a bit of luster as the horrendous drop rates or gear and HMPs wear people down rather than inspire them to keep on trying. I know I'm starting to see less interest in it, even though for many people it's the only viable endgame in town beyond Abyssea.

That is one thing I do not comprehend..... the special snowflake status that is utter ridiculous and bull shit. One thing that is great about abyssea is everyone is entitled if they put some works and everything is achievable even for the casual players. If anything they need more of this. Voidwatch drop rate is low, could be a bit better, but it is not horrendous, I have already got 4/6 most coveted body pieces. None of the super shiny weapons yet but I only do VW spam runs perhaps 2 days a week. But yeah I see nothing wrong with everyone having the same opportunity, and squash these so called precious snowflakes with their imaginary achievement and self entitlement.

The requirements were absurd for emps to begin with, especially when the majority are the most powerful WS' you can get.

1500 isn't that much anyway, I agree increase the drop rate, but the number is fair.
