Sooo.... Emps?

[Gokku]

Someone on my server was bazaaring a HMP for 1m. Not that it's worth that much or that somebody would buy, but can you imagine? 1.5 billion for your level 95 empy.

JP's... JP's will pay it... and ill love them for it.

No one is whining about Emps. They're whining about the new upgrade choice, which puts Emps right at where Relics and Mythics are right now (possibly short after Mythics, but before relics in annoyingness).

Ok so help me understand the Emps were supposed to appeal to the more casual player or not?

Right now if this only comes from VW, nobody will be able to get 1500 on their own, which means like alexandrite, you' ll have to buy.

so many people have emps, it will be a long long long time before anyone sells them.

Honestly, I'm more pissed at this point that the jump from 90 to 95 is absolutely trivial in terms of performance gained.

At least the 90's all got decently improved stats, but the 95's are just a complete slap in the face for the effort required. This update just reeks of laziness on SE's part and I for one, think I'm finally done with this game.

I never thought I'd see the day where XIV is looking more promising than XI.

It's pretty much how I called it. The killing part is, people will still do the trial, someone or a few people will get 1500 plates, SE will see this and figured players will do anything they throw at us.

Just like if no mythics were completed, they'd have long adjusted it. While they do have to space content out, I really do think they throw a random number out there for certain things >.>

While Emps are in no way hard, just annoying IE CHORLIS PATH, but there's realistically zero reason to have to collect 175 items. I item from each is enough at the end of the day.

1500 I bet if not serious was just a filler number no one can do in the time it takes them to complete the next set of content, then it will be 1200 plates.

Truth be told, I don't think S-E themselves are sure about this anymore. I sensed the curveball at around the 85 cap rise when they required Scars NM items and then stuck it to Bards and Paladins with the Iron Plate/Colorless Soul conditions for their trials.

Many people keep saying that, but honestly I don't think that's true. I object to the 1500 Heavy Metal plates needed, because that's a completely insane number, but the increase of the stats itself, I have no problem with. I'm pretty sure they did this on purpose to even the playing field between Emps, Mythics and Relics, and in that regard, it's quite a success.

Also, remember that this is just for Lv95. The boost at Lv99 might be quite large again, which means, everyone will try to do this still when that time comes. And I'm still finding it hard to believe that our current knowledge is the only way to obtain the plates. Either there's another way we're not aware of yet, or SE just screwed up on the requirements and will fix it sometime soon, because at the current rate it's just unrealistic.

All the trials of the magian weapons got sweet f*ck all for upgrades this update, it's not just empyreans. Most only got like a few DMG+, cure pot staff got 1% potency, the str/dex/agi/etc weapons only got +2 to the stat and no extra pdt/acc/att etc.

[Sparthos]

Dear SE,

You meant 150 plates instead of 1500.

That's really the strange part of all of this. OK, 40 geodes isn't that big a deal except for Flame Geodes (where's the heat, S-E? At least up the drop rates during the matching days), but it really makes no sense to have so little return for the requirements given. I am dreading to find out the Avatar leg's requirement for Staff Trials.
