New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[CrystalWeapon]

I can't stop laughing.

The new one-handed axes will be like wielding an Ukonvasra in each hand while on Beastmaster. A level 99 Ukonvasra in the main-hand with a level 90 Ukonvasra in the offhand, to be specific.

I don't know if I'm happy or sad or need to poop or what. I don't know anything anymore.

Yeah... XIVs looking better everyday now

Because it's not run by the same company, so there is no risk of the same shit happening in that game.

Dear SE.


For the first time ever you have managed to make me angry to the point where I actually consider quitting. I worked my ass off, 99-ing my Ukonvasara a year ago and I finished my 99 Masamune less than 2 weeks ago. I also did ADL 3 days a week for almost a full YEAR, getting marrows for my ls friends and myself. And as it seems, you just made all that time and effort a complete and utter waste and totally worthless.

You better give us the R/E/M upgrades FAST, and they better be damn good too.

Edit: and yes I know nobody cares if I quit or not, least of all SE, but I'm actually really upset.

Why do I have a feeling "Adoulin" is some long lost ancient tongue term for a deathblow? It's like they are trying to kill this game. It's not that there are new weapons with pointlessly high base damage, it's 1. How they released weapons that render Relics obsolete, 2. They release weapons that makes THOSE weapons obsolete within a month. and finally 3. They completely screw over the loyal, dedicated players who worked on, and put time, effort, and gil into their Relic by not having an immediate way for these weapons to stay relevant. What Matsui said wasn't offensive to anyone, if he thinks that offended anyone he must thing the Relic-wielding community is so thin-skinned that saying anything to them will make them cry. He knows he didn't simply offend anyone by undermining them, he apologized because he felt remorse.

They add 2 new jobs and encourage us to use them so they can set stats on Job Specific Equipment, but the simple fact is that you can't, they don't have a place yet because they don't have the merits, the JSE buffs, or the equipment draw to contribute to anything more than a Worm party. If the Devs intend to give gear for GEO/RUN based on how they are used, expect alot of "Vs. Worms:" effects.

I've honestly done and lost every single reason I've had to log on. This is just stupid. Like pure stupid. this new Director has pretty much just took the game and Jumped the Shark.

There is no returning from this, What joy can I find in this when by the time I'm able to access the content that drops this stuff, they've already sh*t on it? If i wanted that tired played out MMO Design, I'd bandwagon one of the 800 "WoW Killers" released a week and play it for its 4 day life span.

God 99% of the population hasn't even entered Skirmish and they've already gone and obsoleted the reason for even looking at it... Bah, IDC how hard these weapons are to get, a D:108 Dagger is just, while simultaneously making a few fever induced FF Related dreams oddly possible... is making my head hurt really really bad.

Probably due in part to the DMG:175 Club, meaning at the rate they keep "upgrading" Daggers, WHM will be a better DD next update... I mean, part of me is ever going to keep an eye on FFXI, but, for the time being, f**k all this noise, no interest in playing a GrinderClone, i chose FFXI because of what it was, not because i wanted.. whatever the hell its turning in too.

I know that feel. LS mate got his Ragnarok a few days ago, and just yesterday got the 95 version, I've been helping because I wanted to watch it unfold, I wanted to watch the process step by step, but mostly because I consider him a friend, I was happy for him and it was another relic in the LS. I don't own a 99 R/E/M, but I feel I have a place to be pissed along with you guys just because of how this is being done. I don't consider the time, effort, and deaths a waste, my friend got his relic to 95, something he's wanted and worked on, but now he'll be easily outdamaged by the new weapons even at 99. The most fair thing SE could do right now is make these new weapons inaccessible until they add a way to raise the damage of relics.

Not if they paid me.... When I am done I am done... Greatest troll ever in gaming listening to the /ragequit and /wrist has me rolling. I will take a wait and see approach myself...

[SpankWustler]

My main concern actually has nothing to do with other weapons being obsoleted.

If the damage on these new weapons is real, pet damage and elemental magic damage and blue magic damage and any other kind of damage not based on a weapon is going to take a relative nosedive. That is just how strong these new weapons are; they march over to take a swing at things not related to weapons in any way after they're done obsoleting other weapons.

[Zumi]

Well 99 R/M/E is dead, AH crafted weapons beat them now, not just beat them totally destroy them. With even bettter ex weapons coming from delve.

Thoughts?

They don't know if they have the man power to make our relies competitive with AH junk?
