99 Weapons Rant (yeah yeah another)

[Unctgtg]

it is far easier to change when it is in development then when it is already in the game.

It seems people are getting tired of fighting a bit. I would still like to see it changed myself.

TBH the only trial that needs adjusting at this time is the ADL trial since they further lowered the requirements along with a few other changes they announced, its the only trial where you are subjugated to a time limit and physical limit of once a day.

At 10 drops from PW was withing the realm of reason, that is assuming the change to zeni per plate at 10x the going rate actually goes through.

So lets see:

1. Potential that you can fail to kill ADL.

2. Requires you to build pop sets under a time limit.

3. Limited frequency of access to ADL per day.

4. Lacks auxiliary drops worthwhile enough to attract any other player but relic holders.

5. Only drops 1 per fight

6. Fight requires PD from Alexander limiting your ability to fight multiple pops should you succeed in making more then one pop set.

7. Despite being an open access zone the intermediate NMs and ADL currently only have 1 set of ???

8. The number of relic holders vs any other type of weapon is a much higher ratio

Add all these factors together makes this trial really ill conceived, by comparison to PW where peeps can casually put together PW pop sets or VW which is up to date content that peeps actually spam thus empy upgrade items will be generated.

Here's my suggestion for the aforementioned issiues:

1. Apply the end tier VW NM AOE deal to ADL that is only the main target receives full damage.

2. Decrease the requirements for making an ADL pop set.

3. Compensate for the limited access by either adding other sources of umbral marrow or increasing yield per fight.

4. Revamp drops from ADL to offer a greater reward for outside parties assisting (like ive seen suggested 1-4 100 pieces).

5. Already addressed this.

6. Tone ADL back.

7. Increase the ??? for all NM's involved with ADL, assuming people actually manage to gather shout groups this can/could become the greatest block when several linkshells/groups are after ADL at the same time.

8. Pretty much either make all the above changes or scrap the marrow trail for 99 relic and rethink it because as i know you love to throw around the word balance well right now relic trials are anything but balanced by comparison to its counterparts.

Within 6 months of these trials going live, 90% of lvl 95 relic owners will have upgraded to 99. Whether they fought or bought their items.

Will you sell me upgrade items for relics?

[Nynja]

would you like to wager that?

If it was possible, I would.
