Voidwatch Final Chapter

[Karbuncle]

the reason 10 Accuracy in an Accessory slot used to cost so much because back in those days, Accuracy was a pain to cap, And a lot of good Melee Haste Gear did not offer a lot of Accuracy. Today, Its hard to find haste gear without accuracy. Take Raider's Bonnet+2 vs W.Turban. +12 Accuracy. Raider's Body? +10DEX(5acc) +5 Dagger skill (~4 Acc) as well as 5% Haste.

Accuracy is already piled on so much natural Melee gear, the need to sacrifice slots for Accuracy is relatively low. Its not that the stat is not important, its that the gear we wear normally generally has more accuracy than we know what to do with.

Back in the day, Dusk Gloves, Haste, No accuracy
Today - brego Gloves - Accuracy+5

Back in the day, W.Turban, Haste, No Acc
Today - Pretty much every haste head ever - Acc or DEX in large amounts.

Back in the day, Accuracy was hard to fill in slots that didn't sacrifice haste, SO accessories were the big spot, Today, Haste/Acc are Love partners, So the value of needing to sacrifice accessories for Acc is diminished. And with the support most fights offer in Stalwarts, Bravers, Atmacites... Accuracy heavily needed is further diminished.

I hope I'm making myself clear here. I'm cutting a lot of my train of thought out to make this short.

How about people stop arguing over ammo slot gear for pages on end and focus on the fact that the devs are out of touch when it comes to why people are pissed about VW.

I guess going from 0 Uses to 1 Use is an improvement. But I still maintain that does not make it a useful item. Its like saying one pile of dog sh*t smells a little less than the other pile. They're both still Dog Sh*t. Maybe i was a little unclear, I don't think i was, But I'm sorry if it was lost in my rambles... I was never trying to arguing Mantis eye had no uses at all, Its just its uses were incredibly situation that it would be the FFXI equivalent to the stars aligning that its use would become present. So in that vain, I felt the item was worthless due to its incredibly limited situational manner. Such as armor like Assault: only or Besieged:Only was deemed.

So I guess I should leave no room for misinterpretation here. I acknowledge its one use thus confirmed. an Aggressor Down Set for DNC for Mobs with High Evasion. But that does not make it a successful item. It makes it less crap than the other crap by a small margin.

ugh reminding me of that Sceamol band...

1.) I don't know who you are so I have no lustful hatred for you, that's you being paranoid.

Fair enough, But i still think you're hiding something from me one 1... Also, any word on MNK? I dug through those topics too and couldn't find mention of it. You seem to search better.

For the record, Pizza+1 is not a huge sacrifice to maintain capped haste, Good chunk of Attack, and Higher Accuracy Values, without having to rearrange gear. I still maintain using that first might be a better option. Red Curry Buns however, Hard to replace for sure.

Edit; Of note, the set i a little outdated, Belenos mantle is no longer the best option, This:

Would be a good update if you can pass that on to him.

That's me, and yeah, I haven't updated those sets for a while.

MNK accuracy build: http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/254911
BLU TP set: http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/55243

In addition, Mantis Eye is prety much a staple in Heavy Strike sets (spell with large ACC penalty). Not bad for the Kaggen analogue of Andvaranauts.

That said, I had to trash 3 mekira mekiogais before Kaggen put out a mantis eye for me. LOL Voidwatch?

Advaranauts, Oh those things.

wait wait. 3 Mekira's..... wait.............................................. I think I'm going to hire thugs to beat you up now D: I've tossed enough Mantis Eyes to stock a jewel shops inventory for 3 years.

Where are these so called ticket system? Are we gonna get it 6-10 months later when barely anyone bother doing Voidwatch anymore? This seems to be the trend in the past 10 years. Create new contents with low drop rates + 24-72 hours limitation + impossible difficulties + 18-32 players required + crap items reward + no measured progression, then proceed with ignore player feedbacks, do minimal adjustments, continue ignore player feedbacks and hope that said event will eventually die down due to unpopularity (pankrator, colosseum, chocobo racing, moblin maze, the list go on and on). Hellooooo you have forum to solicit feedbacks, and you have international player base, not just japanese players, please FOCUS on adjusting and improving contents, be it new or old, and do not ignore our feedbacks and hope we will just get tire of it and abandon that said content. As developer/content created its is your goal to create something that will be embraced by your player base, something that can be enjoyed and accessible by all.

Stop holding out for the ticket system, the way they have described it to be implemented is a waste of everyone's time, including theirs.

Also this. Apparently the decided upon system would be:

You have to have 6 Tickets specific to the Item you want to get the item. Only way to Obtain Tickets is by buying them, Or getting said Item a second time.

So instead of going the Logical route, and making 1 Ticket per NM, With Different Values of how many tickets needed for what item, They went the "PANTS ON HEAD" route.

Then again, Captain Mekira here has gotten 3, So i guess He'd be 1/3rd of the way to another body in the ticket system.

Edit: Well Shoot, This was suppose to be an edit.

I can't even wear it. I got a Phasmida Belt on my first run, so the only reason I was doing Kaggen at all was for cruor + a mantis eye.

Also I'd be 1/3 of the way to another Mekira Mekiogai, since getting Mekira a 2nd time would get me a Mekira ticket, etc.
