Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[Phogg]

Seems my decision to quit and not purchase the expansion based on being banned from these forums for no reason other then discontent worked out better then expected, while my confidence in the Dev team was lacking before, now its pretty obvious they don't play the game (Matsui was lvl 40 last time I heard) and have no idea what they are doing. Money well saved.

My Mandau would be livid at the idea of being stored away and some other weapon using its skills. In fact, the last time I talked to it, all it wanted to do was kill things with me, now Matsui wants me to cheat on my trusty mandau with and onion dagger. For shame, SE.

I say once you hit level 99 (not afterglow) you are rewarded with the upgraded the new higher base damage one.

Mr. Matsui,

Please don't kill the game I love. My ultimatum is simple: proportion REM to what makes it compete with these new items and maybe, when I'm at my next duty station, I will continue to at least maintain my account. If not, SE will never receive a penny from me ever again thanks to this idea. I hope wisdom finds you and causes you to make sound decisions from here on. 감사합니다.

I think the idea that is being thrown around is not a very well thought out. Example: Death Penalty has QD V at 99 on it. What do they plan on doing with that? Just make the weapon stronger

What they now have a problem with is when they made the upgrades before so few had relics/mythics to compete with emp. Now A LOT more have the relics/some mythics/ and a whole lot of emp players are pissed. Would it be safe to say about 50% of the player base has a R/M/E (most of the percentage being E). That is whole hell of a lot of pissed off players.

You know how our initial reaction was we are all pissed that they outclassed our relics by like 100 damage. But after thinking about it for awhile does it even make sense in a MMO to keep upgrading the same weapon you used since 2004 to be the best almost 10 years later?

I don't think any other mmo does that.

Thanks for the response.... I will not be renewing my subscription until this is fixed. If it is not fixed. This will be my first cancellation of FFXI in over 10 years... I've never stopped playing. I'll just filter that money to another source.

Thanks for the reply all the same.

I agree to a degree with your statement Zumi but they made it more doable for those that just recently upgraded them and obtained them. I might reserve my thoughts until something more concrete comes out than just ideas they are throwing around.

I feel like I'm going to get an ulcer

I feel like I'm about to jump off a very tall building, if that makes you feel any better.

I've cancelled my subscription until you guys get this figured out. Don't expect me to restart my FFXIV service either.

Good luck, looking forward to better news.


PS- I've had ulcer's my entire life, it isn't fun - and I wouldn't poke at them lightly. If you really are giving yourself an ulcer you need to see a doctor ASAP.

I got my Excalibur back when dynamis was hard took 64 people. The rest I got recently after dynamis nerf. I use to be mad at how relics were getting replaced but now after some time. I am kind of indifferent to it.

Now if I can't find more people to do new stuff with I won't be keeping my sub, but ill hold out a month or two to reserve judgement.

I noticed some people not even logging on anymore after the news the past couple days. Pretty much no reason to play the game if I don't know anyone to play it with.
