Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Leonlionheart]

So are the JP's mostly for random or mostly for static?

I can't imagine JP's, who have a tendency to gimp down to COR/WHM and BLU using lolmacc ToM swords (seriously the worst choice other than like, CHR), choosing anything other than the safe option.

Most of Japanese players also hope static status.
And not only hoping static status, but also JP players (include me) hope to raise the equip level to 90 or more, and add equiv status for the level.

Some people hope randam, but they also hope the equipment after enhancement should be worth to equip.

If you hope more powefull status, we have to impose hard condition to obtain it, not everyone can obtain.

This. Why can't they have this mindset anymore? It would be good to have armor you have to work for, something to keep you playing and keep you busy. I'd rather static enhancments that took a while to get and were worthwhile in the end. I honestly think that Empyrean +2 is too easy to get for how good it is, a lot of what I have I haven't exactly worked hard to get.

My only problem with this is that I feel AF3 should have been a baseline gear with good, useable stats. AF3+1 should have been what AF3+2 is, but harder to get, an AF3+2 should have required -REAL- work to acquire. Not just farming bosses over and over again -- like a quest/storyline to work through or something for each job.

As it stands, AF3+1 is more of a headache than a challenge. Suffering through dealing either with idiots, poor droprates, or both is far from challenging or compelling.

Content too few can hope to access, in this given case a theoretical reworked +2, isn't really content that should be focused on as it panders to a minority. Players who crave this can be thrown a bone now and then, sure, but let's stop pretending Abyssea's atma system and the "ease" it brings is going to carry over as is to every future game event. VW can arguably prove challenging now (in some cases, not for the right reasons) and people craving endgame while in the transition phase to 99 are just asking for disappointment. Maybe you'll get your wish if Emp gear has an eventual +4 equivalent, but for now, chill.

Well in a way, We're the ones holding the gun to its head and pulling the trigger, and the bullet is static!

[DebbieGibson]

I am disgusted by the fact that so many of you equate randomness with difficulty. Grow some balls, seriously.

[Karbuncle]

I have to assume you mean the static people cause theres only like 2 of us here who want random :X

[Neisan_Quetz]

I vote static, worthwhile augments, and difficult to obtain, otherwise don't bother.

I would prefer random, make it so you need some hair on your chest in order to attempt it. I would love to see more whining about the RNG on here.
