More nerfs for War & Ukkos.

[Arcon]

Wait a fucking minute... You mean to tell me that all this bitching, all the fucking crying and moaning swirling around warriors now is about a nerf that NO ONE HAS TESTED!?!?! NO ONE EVEN KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY WILL BE EFFECTED???

You seem to be bitching more than all the WARs in here combined. Also, the degree of the nerf doesn't matter at all for what people are complaining about. Even if they only lowered the critical hit rate by 5% it would still be a reason to complain, because it's not what people paid time and money for. They paid for the weapon we have right now, not a worse version of it. What if someone had to decide between which empyrean weapon to take to 95, and while other weapons weren't as good they would have preferred them. However, in the end they were swayed to go with Ukonvasara, because it was just good enough to overshadow the importance other weapon. Now SE go and nerf it, and whoever spent 200M gil on it basically just got an anal probe. Whether they lower the critical hit rate by 5% or 30%, it doesn't matter. That person got screwed for their decision, even though it was made completely rationally and to the best of their knowledge.

Uh, if it was overpowered, then it almost necessarily follows that nerfing it is not a dick move.

Selective reading much? I said like three times that it's the timing that bothers people, not the nerfing itself. If they realized it was a mistake (which should have taken them 10 weapon skills to figure out) and nerfed it, it would have been understandable. Leaving it like this for over a year, making people invest months and hundred millions of gil in this weapon, not a weaker version of the weapon, and then nerfing it - dick move. That's the difference. I'm not saying they're doing it deliberately to piss people off, but by doing this they clearly show no respect for people who invested major parts of their free time this last year into this achievement.
