Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[Zumi]

To a point almost overnight with the patch a lot of people became disillusioned with the game. Plenty of people were in progress on long term weapon projects in FFXI, r/m/e at various stages. Now all that motivation to play is now gone. Even for myself I was farming gil to buy marrows for Rag99 now that isn't going to happen.

After Camate's last post, I'm kinda wondering...just what are they discussing? The best, easiest course of action is to just plan to increase R/M/E damage. Are they discussing what to raise them to? Or how to do it?

One other question; if Mandau was too broken for DNC to get, why does DNC get a 108 DMG dagger? Why were we told relics would be too imbalanced for post-ToAU jobs, but they all get these new, completely broken weapons?

It was all a part of the Tanaka, balance era. Nobody knows except for him.

This is a joke, right? It's May 1st, not April 1st. Unless AM and ODD/ODT travels with the Weaponskill, this is offensive. More so to people who only recently finished.

I wouldn't find it "offensive" at all. While it's far from the only thing they should do, unlocking the relic and empy WS is certainly a nice perk, such that you get SOMETHING for your effort regardless of whether or not you use the weapon 100% of the time.

Like I said, the weapons themselves should also be updated, but I don't think, independently of that fact, that doing so is a bad idea.

It doesn't matter what weapon you use... even if you're an LOLmeleeSMN and you have claustrum/nirvana/hrvelgmir - the new staves have close to 50% more base damage.

They've reiterated it since he left.

I know what you mean. I have a couple of 90 emphs and a Rag that I'm 45/70 on bronze with and I'm like well if anything I'll finish it to say I farmed a relic. I've seen SE piss off the player base quite a few times, been playing since NA release, but I've never seen them piss off so many so fast.

Always knew id go down with the servers. Pretty shocking that it looks like it may happen right after a NEW expansion.

OH MAH GOD, WHY KIDS WHY MUST YOU ALL BE ANGRY, CALM DOWN HAVE A DRINK, SIT IN A CHAIR, GO PET SOME INVISIBLE CATS (I hate cats.)... My point is, if you're going to voice your opinion please do it in a respectful manner, I seen people telling people to calm down, and they got sandblasted with Insults, /anger messages. This is worse than havoc. If Matsui HIMSELF started posting eradically in the forums, and all of you just continued with this same /ragequit behavior nothing would get accomplished, put yourselves in their shoes; If you just made a mistake at a workplace, what would you do? lets say you told a client/customer/manger/w/e something INCREDIBLY offensive (i'm not specifying although I could, I just want people to listen to my point, and not have it removed) you'd be worried/doing whatever you could to remedy the situation, could you be fired? yes, but we've all been there, so let's try to HELP them, not HURT them, he's even inadvertently ASKING for our help by throwing his ideas out there... as I have stated before whatever happens I'm still going to play/sub, so that's getting that bag out of the way BE NICE WITH YOUR RESPONSES TO EACHOTHER AND DEVS.

Second point: Whatever they do, it is going to make almost all of you angry anyway, the great thing about this game is that devs usually don't care; I"M SOOO GLAD MATSUI ADMITS HE IS STRESSED, however, again we as a community need to learn to support the resolution that they come to, I'm positive now that he is trying to figure something out, because of the out pour of Q.Qing and his various statements that he has given, thanks to you and the community reps for remedying this situation, just please decide on something where it still is worthwhile to make a R/E/M (I don't think I'll count a C yet... seeing as how basically they're a fake empy... or a Fempy ww).

Third point:Those CRAZY damage weapons were created for a reason... now what that reason is, I am not sure anyone has tested out, perhaps it is because the last chambers have wayyyy too much hp, so for devs perhaps just give the 99s just a dps upgrade... it prolly can be a little more than the crafted weapons, but a bit less than the delve wepaons (yes we have seen what they all look like, thanks to .dat miners).


Anyway PLEASE BE MORE RESPECTFUL, I'm sure that they wont take us seriously if we continually don't take eachother.
