ATTN DEVS and COMMUNITY REPS: Mythics

[Atomic_Skull]

While it was a stupid move it actually does nothing. Yes you prefer Mythics in all their retarded to get glory, however, you can still get a ton of currency a night without AoE spamming

Yes but not at the "omg currencies are falling like the rain in Pashhow Marshlands" level it was before.

You can bet your ass that "reduced" really means "damn close to zero"

COP dynamis was intended to give people a harder path to get more currencies in a given amount of time, not to make it so easy to get currencies that you can duo a relic in a month. This nerf shows that SE has no intention of allowing the latter to happen. They want the difficulty at a certain level and they will keep on nerfing it till it's where they want it. Tanaka is back and easy mode FFXI is over.

Tanaka never left so how did he come back?

He switched from FFXI/FFXIV producer to FFXIV producer exclusively just before FFXIV was released.

[Kimble]

Hasnt that already been proven to be false?

No it hasn't.

[Kimble]

From everything I've read, he never "left" XI, he was doing both XI and XIV. He then was placed on XIV.

Now maybe one can argue that he is now focusing more on XI and thus this "down fall" players are going on about, but he never was fully removed from XI so saying "hes back" is completely wrong.

Also, he was always just the producer, afaik , the director has more influence on actual game development then a producer does.

Bolded part makes no sense.

[Kimble]

I meant he was was doing both of them, then left/was forced to leave XIV.

to me everything felt rushed and not ready, the lvl cap increase prob should have not happened till the content was more fleshed out the 4 new big events (VW, WOE COP dyna and some new BCNMs) we got with this update that was suppose to carry us over from abyssea just wasn't enuf.

COP dyna is just a repeat of of the older zones no one goes there to do the new fights, people just farm coins /hint if you want people to do new content u have to add stellar new gear thats rare/ex and mobs with meaty lootpools to drag more than 6-12 people anymore to anything

WoE? lolwoe that crap has been a broken mess from the very start and while i admit this last update has finnaly made it more fun and fair, its still not balanced and you can see it as soon as you enter due to the 30 Garuda's attacking things

and now you have this heavy metal plate nonsense it just feels unimaginative and shoehorned into VW to make people do VW. what if you dont like VW? what if your not in a decent shell that can tackle the new fights( didnt SE realize that abyssea broke up alot of the big shells into smaller groups cuz it was counter productive? World of warcraft I believe had this problem when they went from vanilla to burning crusade raids was 40 man and got scaled back to 18?

I honestly thought the lvl 95 emp trials was gonna be sumthing like get 20 wins in WOE then kill 20 of sum new NM in aby then get 50 moogle rainbows from T3 VW, you know sumthing not so dam mundane as heavy metal plates jesus christ !,why cant a smither just get some ingots and make em.. for christs sake .. plates of metal? its sounds like the devs aint even trying to make sh*t up anymore

( didnt SE realize that abyssea broke up alot of the big shells into smaller groups cuz it was counter productive? )

Abyssea and the increase to lvl 99 was originally concocted when SE was convinced that FFXIV was going to be a huge success that would storm the industry and rival WoW in subscription numbers. It was intended as one last big party where everyone got to play on godmode and all the old gear was replaced with easier to obtain stuff in order to sever people's ties to FFXI so that we'd all feel we had "beaten" it and move over to FFXIV.
