Those aren't the same thing. The one that Toioiz linked is talking about how people are upset about the scaling. (I can't translate it that well and Google translate doesn't help much.) It seems that many JP players are pretty livid about this too.

If I'm reading what Matsui posted there.. admittedly.. google translate is terribad....

We would get our WS and aftermath unlocked to use to any other weapon of our choosing of the same type? So these awesome new weapons, with the aftermath/WS of the R/E/M? You know what? I'm okay with that. Still get what I worked for, others still HAVE to build a R/E/M for it and I bet you.. still have to go to 99.

Of R/M/E, you must be an E. Most people are angry about R, Relics. A relic WS and aftermath don't make two shits of difference, you don't build Relics or Mythics for the WS. Emps were all about WS and aftermath.

So with the reorganization, SE is taking roughly 80-90% of XI's annual profit and funding console game development. The rest to maintain the game.

"Manpower issues with XI." aka the new "PS2 limitations"

Adjust the percentage then. Since Day One you've had monthly paying beta testers and a Game Engine that's never been completely overhauled.

i feel like occasionally attacking thrice, that can proc on subsequesnt WS's, and lasts 3 minutes... is a pretty big deal.


but it's all beside the point anyway. not all prestige weapons will be even close to equally affected by the rumored change, so it's not an ideal solution whether it's 1:3 or 2:3

It's a big deal, but if I had Tizona, I wouldn't use Expiation over Vorpal Blade regularly, but if you take Death Penalty as an example, it's Quick Draw enhancements seem to give an extreme damage boost.

Yeah, I'm an E. Though honestly, even without my aftermath, just taking Myrkr over to any other staff would be... absolutely amazing for me. Perp- or mab/phys staves and that.. just.. wow.

Thought I can see why Relic holders are upset, Apoc's Ws is cool and all, but without the haste.. why bother.... Then there's Gugnir...

Thought honestly (puts his flame suit on) having leveled these things and kept them "relevant" hurt the game in my opinion. It was time the game moved on finally. I just wished they picked a more... delicate way to move on that AH/Craftable weapons. >.<

What the heck? Mythics are ALL ABOUT THE AFTERMATH.

And Mythic owners have the most right to be upset. Not only can the WS be used by anybody, none of the WS are even worth using at this stage of the game unless you have the Mythic.
