New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[Asymptotic]

Depends on your resources.

I said it wasn't a status symbol to me, but something I worked hard on and was proud of. it wasn't so others could envy, but so i could feel happy with myself.

Plus, You should really look at the weapons and their augments, It'll answer that question for you... While few of them come out Clear 100% on the top, A lot of them crush the crap out of the 90~95 Empyrean, and even some of their 99 Relic counterparts.

Asymptotic Showed a particular good example of the Dagger that makes me cringe when i see it, and also the same one i said I would be more than happy to obtain. At least go back and make an effort to read my posts, I'm getting bored of speaking in circles about how I'm actually not disappointed in this so much as I am sad for my Mandau and the work i put into it.

I should have been more clear I didn't mean you thought it was a status symbol to others or over others but one to you yourself. That symbolism will never change no matter what weapon is released.

Perhaps someone needs to call the Naakuals and ask them if they can be defeated with sentimental value.

If there was no sentimental value in obtaining X item people wouldn't care about Y item. You'd get Y (might even use X to get it) and forget about using X.

Alternatively , people can be annoyed over wasted time/resources/capital. Is that a difficult concept to grasp ?

Complaining about wasting your time doing something designed to waste your time, I love it!

I don't think it's so much that their time was wasted as much as their investment has lost value. The time was not wasted. My empies got several years of use out of me. Even if they get replaced, they were not wasted. However, they have lost value, and compared to other weapons, they required more work to complete.

Completely missing the point , I love it!

And someone working on a mythic with 80000 Ichor and 27000 alexandrite turned in that they've slowly accumulated? Also , since you used empies in plural, I assume you are talking about LV90 and below Empyreans?

[Yinnyth]

I have everything for my mythic except alexandrite. I'm only 1/3 done with alexandrite. Still not sweating it.

And yeah, most of my empies are still only 90. Does that completely invalidate my opinion on the topic?
