99 Weapons Rant (yeah yeah another)

[Nala]

Why must the 99 mythic and relic weapons be retardedly difficult to achieve?

Unlike Empy weapons which are relatively easy to make, in mythics case a player has perservered through probably one of the most daunting pre requisites to just arrive at 75, which considering your new line of thought for these trials its pretty much now just the starting line. Not only are you forcing the rare mythic player to do content that's outdated, but its relatively unrewarding by comparison to VW.

In a similar respect you have relics, by comparison the quest side of a relic weapon is less grueling however depending you're still talking about a massive time investment in either the capacity of farming your own currency or farming the gil to buy it. this is all once again just to make the 75 which as with the mythics is just the starting line of another whole series of quests one must do to achieve the end result: fight a seriously bogus NM, a NM that has nothing of value to any average or hardcore player, a NM that you're not garunteed victory, a NM that according to your vision will require 17 people like mythics to selflessly sacrifice their time for the greater good, or a greedy linkshell leader, something which you specifically stated you wanted to prevent hence your GROSSLY misconceived VW drop system.

That's not all, you made dynamis an open air zone, but this NM only has one ??? hell the pop set nms are the same, furthermore you're going to spend the majority of a run farming a single pop set, fight him once, maybe win, and the best part is the upgrade item may not even be 100% drop. considering this game has no true PvP aren't we meant to band together and team up? not fight over spawn points and rare drops.

I'm not going to say i agree with the 95 Empy trial quantity however its somewhat understandable, HMP are like the Alex/ancient currency stage for the mythics/relics, save for your able to complete a useful form of this weapon before having to be confronted with HMP stage. Thing is with your vision for the later trials for empyrean weapons, it's at least somewhat attainable, people are already running your poorly designed hamster wheel named VW for the 100th++ time for that x drop they wanted, Empy 99 items will actually be generated, there will be supply and demand for these items.

With that ive said most of what i wanted in reguards to the trials directly and move on to an aside: Square games have been a major part of my life and the greatest influence that caused me inevitably to become a gamer, however over the years i've seen some of my favorite series (mana/seiken densetsu) become shovel ware, with the way 14 was handled, and the way 11 is now being handled between the lack of reguard for your CUSTOMER'S concerns, the scavenging of our dev team without even reducing our monthly fees and your overbearing need to balance a game you've no clue about.

Edit: Oh and i didnt even address the afterglow trials, while im glad that you decided to downgrade from comic book super villain type evil to regular corporate corruption level of evil by spliting the trials, but why bother even having this effect in the game, considering you said the stage 2 will share the trial item for stage 1 but still require the super villain level of dedication, which according to the test server these afterglow effects arent even that potent, perhaps the real afterglows will rock your socks off and you wanted to keep this secret, remember the last time you kept secrets? The formula for beating AV the "right" way is still a giant mystery. My point is for the level of upgrade VS your pure unadulterated insanity you will never see a stage 2 99.

I think i'm done with your company, i may still play 11 until the final word comes out on these trials, should you still choose to ignore the very loud and obvious outcry from the entire community i will be done with this game, you have lost your grasp on reality and sanity, its been said many times before there are MMO's as old as this game that still recieve full expantions, there are many new MMO's that are better for the pure fact that they have full dev teams that are willing to cater to thier costumer. PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES, your not saving any face by sticking with your decisions, you're losing it.

Why are the best weapons in the game hard to get?

hhhhmmmmmm

[Damane]

this so many times this. Cant agree more with Nala.

[Insaniac]

Complete lack of understanding.

Why do people defend content that no one wants to do?

The gripe from most isn't that this takes effort. It's that it takes bullshit effort. Doing an ADL run is already dull enough to prevent 99.9% of players from ever even attempting it and you think it's a good idea to force people to kill it dozens of times? It's not too hard it's just not even slightly fun. It's frustrating and annoying and it's a shitty thing to force on people.

I can't tell if you're incredibly stupid or just a bad troll.

Also Clarify: Are you stating the Trials for 99 Relics are reasonable?

Can you clarify for me? I would hate to improperly judge you.

i just think it's not the good way to cry to get something, and certainly not publicly insulting SE devs

There is a difference between crying and voicing your own opinion. People here are voicing their opinion and concerns in terms of the lvl 99 stage 1 trial, meanwhile the Devs are blatantly ignoreing them and actually trying to tell us they are REASONABLE, which in itself is a fucking insult to every player that has a brain.

So when you are unhappy about something, you don't complain or try to change whatever it is you're unhappy about?

We, the playerbase, can't literally do something about these trials. So what's left for us to do? Oh right, our only option is to complain. Complain as in - like Damane said - voice our opinions on the matter.

my issue w/ these 99 trails is this .....

Relic should of been complete at 75 the trails after should just be token trails to 99 (f afterglow and leet status we have new content to move on to)

Mythic where ....... insane and well to tell someone that made a mythic after all the bs they had to do that it's not even complete is dumb....

Even empyrean are dumb there were ment to be the ABYSSEA weapon but were used to sustain VW while it's kinda fine it would of been nice if SE put a note next to empyrean that there would be a coin type stage either way.

As for why people are complaining so hard about this is because SE just stopped listening to our feedback and it's nothing to do with the community team since they seem to be doing a great job but the director/producer/w/e just ignores what we want.
