[DEV1234]Lift the delay/haste cap

[Alhanelem]

Good thing Abyssea is over and you'll have to leave to do new things...

Abyssea the place and gameplay mechanic isn't over. Only the story is.

If you every job could cap haste just as easily, it wouldn't make haste any less important or vital.

It absolutely does make it less important. If it's safe to assume that everyone has all the haste they can get on their own, then it becomes trivialized. Everyone having something is almost the same as it not existing at all. Thus, people can focus on other stats, because they are attacking as fast as they ever will.

Dunno about you but I plan to work on bettering myself gear/spells/skill/etc. wise for the new content at 95 and 99 not for Abyssea when I'm 95 and 99.

I dunno about you guys, but all I have left to do in abyssea is work on empyrean weapons for jobs I will never play, I'm only missing 2 or 3 pieces of +2 for all 11 or 12 of my jobs, even though I only play 3, and wish I could only play 2.

It was uncapped and you couldn't reach it until desperate blows.

OK, i'm not kidding- Why does the above quote keep getting appended to my posts in this thread? I didn't paste it there, I didn't click quote on this post, but it keeps showing up...

Dunno about you but I'm sure a lot of people will still have plenty of reason to be in abyssea when the cap is 95 and 99.

Will there be new content after 90? Of course there will be. Will Abyssea suddenly be obsolete? No, it won't. Take a look at Voidwatch, it borrows many of Abyssea's mechanics.

Having a reason to be in there doesn't mean it is what you use as a benchmark for your gear choices.

Who said it was or that I did?

You implied it by saying this:

In Abyssea, nobody has a problem with accuracy. Not even lolmeleeSMN.

And then following it up with this:

After I mentioned Abyssea is done and new content for 95 and 99 wouldn't be in abyssea.

Outside of Abyssea where content for 95 and 99 will be and RR/Cruor Buffs won't be ACC will likely become an issue again and giving up some haste slots for ACC gear might be needed, the same can be said about other stats depending on a given job.

Just because "new content won't be in abyssea" doesn't mean that abyssea itself will no longer be of significance or importance. You say "abysssea is done" as if we suddenly won't be doing it anymore.

It happened to TAU, WOG and COP. But, abyssea WILL always be there as people will always be levling new jobs and getting new weapons and gear for those jobs. It's now what sky/dynamis used to be.

WOTG isn't any more obsolete now than it ever was, and Abyssea REQUIRES WotG. Not that WotG itself is just a single peice of content.

Walk of echoes isn't obsolete (any more than it was when it came out, at least), and will be updated in the future.

Assault was not made obsolete by the next piece of content that came out (salvage), nor was einherjar.

Limbus was not made obsolete by the next piece of content that came out either.

Nothing at all was made obsolete until the level cap was raised, and even then, not everything to do with the expansions you listed was made obsolete. Abyssea will not be made obsolete by 95 or 99, unless and until another JSE armor tier is added.
