99 Empyrean Trials.

[Nightfyre]

I want some of what the devs are smoking.

How do you guys post stuff like this with a straight face or at least come off as avoiding any sort of attempt to get the developers to stop being so sadistic?

I upgraded Gungnir when the kill shot trials were still 8K+ only to watch you guys nerf them by 80% and was rather pissed off. I was satisfied with the Glacier (especially post neo-Dynamis) and Xarc trials. I fail to understand how the developers can go from Fail Trials to Correcting Fail Trials to Good Trials to Fail Trials again.

Only way I'm upgrading Gungnir to 99 at this point is to either wait for the inevitable nerf, waste my energy hoping people would be sensible with bazaar prices for that item or waste my energy hoping SE adds those items as a drop from high level critters in the zones. I sure as hell am not dragging an entire linkshell or shout group out to kill ADL upwards of 250+ times just to fuel some sadistic developer's lack of insight into the playerbase they're developing for.

Again SE failed to listen to its player base. Camate nothing against you, but this thread and MANY others were completely ignored, deleted, locked, unlocked. Is this the way SE has become, ignoring its own playerbase. Guess so, really sad. You asked what we wanted, we gave it to you. Yet all was ignored.

SE's logic is beyond reasoning, it is downright offense to the public, seer stupidity. You have offended us time and time again, this time you are ruining a game that has brought so many of us fun over the years. When you have no player base left, you will have no profits to fund other ventures within the company.

I ask you this, is this good business, NO.

What a joke SE, what a joke. I seriously am amazed at the dev's intelligence. Thank god they're not running a country.

I told you ADL's ??? was congested during JP times last week, but you didn't believe me. Seems to be a concern to the JP community. We're a quite far from the butthurt going on here lol. People are basically crying because fighting in alliance is too hardzzz. Also

However, since this item collection will be done in parties and alliances

gnarf.

Oh god, is this like you using the censes to prove what the best jobs were? lol

[Arcon]

So stage 1 went from "majority" to "about half"? lol.

"More than half" (which is what he said, or did you just fail to read?) is the definition of a majority. In fact, it goes above just "majority" and is the definition of "absolute majority", which happens to be the same thing in this case, as there's only two classes (those who upgrade and those who don't).

And it will go on for the rest of the night accompanied by /shakeshead. 3 months of Dynamis. 90 days. SE expects it to take a person more or less 90 trips on average to get 5 drops.

Failed to read as well? 90 trips to get 5 drops for themselves, and 5 for several other people in their LS as well. That's why they said "majority".

I don't believe some people in here. There's so many legitimate complaints about these trials but they go out of their way to pick on absolutely retarded things. If you're angry, making stuff up or throwing random insults won't help. In fact, that kind of random, incoherent bitching is what gets these threads closed.

[Kimble]

You are by far one of the most smug bastards ive ever met on this forum. It's funny because you always say you don't white knight SE but you sure are quick to defend them every time.

You can say 51% is "technically" the majority, but it differently seems what they implied when they announced Stage 1 and Stage 2 has changed from now to then.

I want to know why so many people are raging over 60 riftdross/cinder like they'll even get to the point it will affect them. There isn't enough HMP in circulation no matter how much gil you acquire for half of the empyreans at lvl 90 to upgrade to lvl 95 on any given server. There's probably a handful of people that have 95's already and they likely bought up 60 riftdross or riftcinder that was on the market long before the update went live.

The relic trial is stupid for anyone that doesn't have 12-17 people willing to fight an obnoxious NM 5+ times for X number of relic holders in their shell. Considering how easy it is to build a relic on your own these days I'm willing to bet that's a lot of relic holders.

PW is annoying to build pops for but considering how few Mythics exist at all, it's probably not that hard for a mythic holder to find people to help them kill it 3 times.

So there you go, all three trials are annoying, by design. Can we please stop having this back and forth between empyrean holder and relic holders say "waah my trial is harder than yours for x and y reason!"

I apologize if that was inflammatory, it's just getting really old seeing the same stupid arguments back and forth.

I play this game a lot and consider myself somewhat hardcore. I have a relic (95) I created years ago and I have a few emps too that are all 90. I have completely opted out of even trying these new trials, as such I find it quite amusing and it doesn't really bother me how stupid and hard headed they are being.

I do find it amusing that a dev team can be so out of touch with its players and so amateurish at their jobs that they are basically making their players opt out of content lol They have no idea wtf they are doing honestly, the whole point of these is to make people want to chase the rabbit, not sit back, relax and let it run off. If they make timesinks and the vast majority of your target audience won't even attempt to work on it, they failed.

I think working on FFXIV before it failed rotted their brains, almost everything they add is pure and utter junk.

I like how they think people will look with adoration at glowing tards that did stage 2, as has been said I think it will be more like seeing people with a mentor flag (retard alert) and an embarassment.
