Thoughts?

They don't know if they have the man power to make our relies competitive with AH junk?

Thoughts? We need a new director to fix this, that's my thought on this.

I can only speak for myself - but what I need is for SE to tell me when the R/E/M upgrades are coming (and it better be soon!), and that the upgraded versions will be comparable to these new weapons.

I just wanted my beloved RUN to have a use, but it's still more of a dirty little secret than my beloved.

At least now we know why they said don't throw away your old R/M/E.

The Apoc I'm working on will make a nice Mog Garden mower, I guess. Anyone got a Mandau I can use? I need a hand-shovel to plant all the weed I'll have to smoke to still play this game.

Also, anyone able to read Japanese? Are the JPs as pissed as the rest of us are?

It's hilarious how all the skirmish and wildkeeper reive gear is obsolete now...

If the damage on these new weapons is real, pet damage and elemental magic damage and blue magic damage and any other kind of damage not based on a weapon is going to take a relative nosedive. That is just how strong these new weapons are; they march over to take a swing at things not related to weapons in any way after they're done obsoleting other weapons.

They will have to stat mage stats and buffs the same way to even the playing field. I do see +71 MAB weapons already. The other way is insane pdt on mobs that these weapons just tickle...

Don't throw them away so we can make them totally obsolete, add a new helmet equip called the Gond Tarag, and the graphics of it will be that of the Troll face (or in SE's tactic of reskins it will be the pumpkin head just with a new skin)?

And I came back to the game for this? There is no pic to adequately relay my reaction to all this...there just isn't. It is a mix of "I guess that is cool" "/facepalm" "when you see it...." and the "Double rainbow" song combined together all at once.

I'd really like to see how the JPs are reacting to this. I'd also like to hear something from Matsui.

I'd ALSO like to hear that Tanaka is coming back.

I also did ADL 3 days a week for almost a full YEAR, getting marrows for my ls friends and myself. And as it seems, you just made all that time and effort a complete and utter waste and totally worthless.

You better give us the R/E/M upgrades FAST, and they better be damn good too.

Edit: and yes I know nobody cares if I quit or not, least of all SE, but I'm actually really upset.

I'm with you on this. Blade and Soul is looking mighty sexy(er) right now.
