[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Absolutezero]

At this point, everything has been said several times I'm sure, but I guess my hope is that if people keep complaining the devs will have no choice but to listen.

I'm not concerned with the cost in exp to max out a ws, 100 merits isn't that bad really. What is upsetting is that even though we are limited to 3, they want to make them weaker than the weapon skills we've had for years.

Would it really be so bad to let us have a new ws that when fully merited, would be superior to all others for that weapon excluding relic/empyrean? No other weapon skills are limited like this. We can quest every quested ws, unlock every mythic ws, and get every relic and empyrean weapon, (technically, if not realistically); these should be special.

I'll repeat myself since I actually did go and check out the new weaponskill when I saw the test server got updated today and say again that. You did exactly what you said you were going to do and all hope was extinguished from my heart. I absolutely loathe the cock tease presentation axe and club got. So again I will say that it is monumentally unbalanced that you continually throw these weapon classes skills in the shitter. Club just went from being the first thing I wanted fully merited to the last thing I'll merit if I happen to have the points laying around. Absolutely and utterly disappointing.

This is the anti-claimax that FFXIV needs to build it's playerbase.
Anyone who believes that FFXI isn't being nerfed so that people will leave is naive.
Anyone from SE who believes that everyone who leaves FFXI will go to FFXIV is also naive!

Tanaka was pulling this kind of crap long before the he even started boiling up the shit stew that is FF14. There is no grand scheme. He is just a bad, out of touch, game producer and Ito is his lapdog. If they wanted to force people off of 11 they would just turn the servers off.

I'm not sure exactly what that picture metaphorically represents or how, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

Resolution has a much more minor attack penalty and may actually suck less after the changes to it, so maybe there's one bit of hope left in the bottom of Pandora's Box after all? Of course, the changes to Ruinator are still lurking in shadow and it probably took up Resolution's 40% attack/cRatio/pDif/whatever penalty burden.

Pandas ftw!
Altough I hate posts like "OMG I'm dropping game X for game Y if you really put patch Z on live servers!!11!one!"
Like they care what me or you will do lol
Now if it was 50% of the FFXI population quitting things it would be different, but they're not THAT stupid, they're well aware that's not happening and that it's just a minority of us whining (put me in the group of whiners!)
