Sept update blues

[Leonlionheart]

Capping parry is about as useful, fun, and artificial as doing voidwatch or anything we got with the VU basically.

"Fun" is in the eye of the beholder. I think the new VW is very fun, too bad no one other than big LS's agree's with me

I guess not?

I wanted to have faith SE, but this crap, for everything you've done for the last 10 years, is getting tiring. Might give up on your games all together.

Except of course, anything that the Kingdom Hearts team does. Whoever the devs are for those games, I salute you as you are by far the best at what you do.

Thumbs up for you! I don't play too many videogames these days but the KH series is always just so refreshing for me!

Ok, I really liked that post. As far as the update, I was not expecting a lot of new gear. In fact I really do not care about gear anymore like i did at 75. There is no point to it, there is nothing hard. There is no reason to balance elemental magic skill and int (example for what I mean). For you to strive for having a real goal (I need a Sorcerer's Petasos). You wanted and needed a Sorcerer's Petasos for that perfect balance to help kill hard mobs effectively. I have seen people abuse the word ' need' since the game started but now it is ridiculous. What I wanted from this update was fixing balancing issues with adding some new things to current stuff to do. So they added small amount of new things like I expected. What shocked me to no end was the lack of fixes to balance issues.

Game is still a fake 'progress' of being 95 base on a level 75 game. (Jobs do not progress properly; I am not talking about the content)

So how is this any different than SE trolling people?

Raise expectations with Abyssea content, raise the bar very high to recoop some subs by going against their entire design philosophy over the games life then at the highest point of bliss they give the game back to the CoP dev's and push out very lackluster content setting up the ultimate low to bring everyone down off the high.

Except it doesn't matter, at this stage in the game the player base needs new shinies, tons of new goals that are worth getting, to have incentive to stay here. Specially when there's things like Diablo III and MW3 coming out in the near future.

I don't see how any of your points change the fact that 80% of this new gear is nearly downgrades rather than upgrades, and are at the most slight upgrades. Other than the cloth body, and the Heavy body for non-PLD jobs in PDT/MDT sets, there's nothing significant enough to get the general population of this game to want to go get them. Looking at the list I can literally count on my fingers the amount of things that are at the most a slight upgrade. Several of them are weapons, which are always downgrades if not Relic/Mythic/Emp/WoE but not everyone has that for every job they have well geared.

It matters for your argument, which you've now changed because I shot down its premise. If you don't see how what I've said explains why we aren't witnessing the extraordinary boost in gear stats that we did at LV85, then you need to reread again and again until you get it because I don't think I can make it simpler without offending you. There are a ton of upgrade pieces this update (Including a tier-breaking H2H ear); I don't see how you get off saying the stuff you do.

(Including a tier-breaking H2H ear);

That was mathemacally proven to be inferior to other gear. It's not enough to show off shiny stats, there is math behind, and math tells you that moonshade earring surpasses it.

This update might of been extremely lackluster but we'll need to see the grandscope of things from 95-99.
