Minor issue: Rajas/Sattva/Tamas Rings

Hey everyone :) Sorry for the delay on an update.

While I can't offer any more concrete information, the development team is still looking into this. Please understand that it is not decided whether or not this will happen for sure, but they are working on it.

I lol'd ^^

I'm glad it's still on table.

I must say, though, the Development Bros have mulled over improving three imaginary rings for many times longer than some folks have spent working up the nerve to decapitate themselves with chainsaws and devising a way to do so.

Yeah, the saw cuts into the work and all, but still...

well, it could balance out goldsmith's torques.









































Who am I kidding; an update on them would really give people more incentive to use those rings again.

Easy fix Camate.

Remember this guy? http://images.wikia.com/ffxi/images/...le_(Green).png

He doesn't do much.

Give him accessory trials.

Divine Might earrings
Apocalypse Nigh earrings
CoP rings
ToAU rings
Moonshade rings
Jailer Torques
etc
Instead of kill NM X times or trade in X amount of items like Weapon/Armor trials, make them more interesting. Complete X amount of assaults, Complete X amount of Campaign Ops(some most people have never touched) for example.

Bryth is right, if the issue is you don't want CoP rings to over-shadow the other Expansion Pack rewards... then make them ALL scale up. They really should have already.

OK, that took me about .3 seconds to conceptualize and I don't do this for a living. What, are you guys operating on the "infinite number of monkeys will eventually write Shakespeare" platform? Then start withholding their food, giving back only as an incentive to reward production. Come on, there are several completely viable, non-balance affecting solutions in this thread alone, and this is NOT the only thread.

They seem to be overly hesitant with anything that empowers the players. Though in this case it might be out of fear that no one will pay 200K+ for Aqua Rings or whatever in the AH if Rajas/Tamas/Sattva were able to scale to +6. Might be they care for crafters, whereas I really don't, though. >.>

Make trials like divine might x 5. And you don't have to scale the current stats, just add something.

What balance are they talking about or thinking about... those rings are not instantly given to you, you kinda have to go through those looooooooooong missions and quests to get one. It's not like you can just plop down some gils and buy them at AH. This will give incentives to the pink brigades to actually DO something else other than crowding abyssea, you know, like there are a whole other content that comes with the game they just bought and not just 9 reworked zones.

The ToAU rings were crap back at the 75 cap. If the dev team is going to adjust the CoP rings for 99 (I hope), it would be nice if they'd also adjust the ToAU rings for 99. Even dropping the assault/salvage requirement to activate the latent would probably make them at least semi useful. But whatever. It's not like I did ToAU for the ring anyway.
