Follow-up: Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and Walk of Echoes Weapons

[Karbuncle]

I dunno, I kinda think they need to make it scale from 75/80. I don't think a guy who has a 95 relic and 4 umbril marrows should do 100 less damage per swing than a guy with a 99 relic.

I actually agree and rate up pretty much all of your posts on this subject, this, I'm a little "no" on.

Personally, I think it should. I'm not getting a Delve weapon because I'm 29k/30k, Just not how it works. They want to buff the 99 Versions because buffing the 90 or 95 will just make it more of the same problem. They want people who worked the stupidity of 99's to be able to use them, not that 90/95 Emps are still > Every non-RME.

And essentially, what they're doing is making the 99Relics go up the gear ladder like the rest of gear/weapons which are level "100, 110, and 120" or such, so they're making 99 Relics "Level 110" or so, which i think is a good idea. Saddly that means if they release level 130/140/150 weapons later, we might just be back at the same problem... but its whatevs TBH, I think It'll be easier for me to let my Mandau die now that I've given up on THF Entirely... since TH is useless, Despoil/Steal don't work on new mobs, Nothing's dropped gil since WoTG so Mug/Gilfinder are more useless... Just a dead job, and I'm liking PUP and MNK more cause i got the shiny Delve h2h :3

I guess I see what you mean. I just hate the idea of such a huge performance gap on anything.

On a related note, I have all the currency to build a Mandau now, but I'm on the fence about doing it because I'm not sure if they will ever upgrade these weapons again. I may just bazaar it all and spend the gil on something else (not sure what to buy now that these weapons have an uncertain future). I really wanted a shiny gold knife or some spharai for my monk though.

Well, I had just bought 5 marrows/60 mil to take my mandua to 99 just a week or two before SoA was released. I wanted to get it done before I got busy with new stuff. Let me tell you, I regret the decision. So I don't know, might want to take the gil instead if you can't live with a possible future trophy item.

I was pretty firm on my stance never to give in to that 99 ADL trial nonsense but I had taken 6 months off after a very large sum of gil was lost trying to HQ cursed hauberk -1s after my first three HQs that I nailed quickly my first couple of times out. I seriously blew like over 500k per synth, 25 million or so with NQ after NQ, break after insanely high break rate break. I was still ahead but damn that hurt my desire to play. Came back, got weak and looking for a reason to hang around, spent 60 million gil on Mandau 99. Not one of my proudest moments knowing what I know now. Maybe it wasn't wasted, maybe it was. But I do know you are best off sleeping on it for at least many many nights if you have any urge left for the gold.

It's quite the gamble. Also, anyone who ever finished a relic without buying currency or finished a mythic(in any way they could) to 99 does not deserve to be told their princess is in another castle, is all I'm saying. I'll live if I'm boned but it's just a damn crying shame to see certain people that really have given this game their all be so easily crapped on. They didn't even get the slightest of respect! (I mean damn it's like, you have afterglow 99 weap? Yeah I'm not impressed, sorry. You have a mythic? Oh shit!) So for SE it's like, here's uber new weapons practically free for all and here's stuff that can be sold if you don't want to do most of the work. Oh wait you no happy? Oh gosh we didn't have a clue about RME we new crew, here you have unlocked WS! Oh you no happy? Gosh we really don't know about RME, we'll upgrade their base damage for now but you should know they won't be #1 anymore ok ok ^.^

For reals? It's not the end of the universe or anything but damn dog, that's cold. At least the majority of players will be wielding decent weaponry for group stuff here on out, I guess?
