[dev1102] Meteor had better be obtainable!

[Babekeke]

So it seems that changes to both spirits, and wyverns have been put on hold because of Meteor.
If it turns out that Meteor is then only obtainable as a 0.0000001% drop from final VW chapter, I'm sure I won't be the only person feeling somewhat annoyed, and I hope that the dev team will realise that they've been wasting their time making sure that a spell that 6 people can cast will work properly, if it takes a month to see 6 people that can cast it that are even on the same server!

Maybe I'm just being pessamistic, but we can only go on past performances.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious what I meant, but I'll make it more obvious for the likes of young Mr Hatcher.

By obtainable, I'm talking current 96-99 scrolls obtainable, not augmented lv 99 r/m/e obtainable. SE have said similar statements regarding the obtainability of the arise scroll and the aug 99 r/m/e, so let's not make Meteor another.

So you want BLM's trademark spell as obtainable as all the other spells..... right!?

Then you woke up, come on BCNM Vs. the 3 tarutaru's for a 0.5% drop rate.

You're clearly missing the point completely, fella.

If this scroll was going to be so hard to get that only 6 people on every server actually managed to get it, then that would be fine by me to be honest. It's the UBER signature spell for BLM only so it shouldn't be something that every leechedinabyssea BLM mule should have.

The point is, that the dev team have spent most of their time perfecting this spell so that it won't be overpowered, can't be used by 18 BLMs all at once to insta-kill stuff etc. Meanwhile putting aside updates for DRG and SMN (and maybe others that we haven't been told about yet - there's still a lot more on the SE wish list for jobs that hasn't been released).

If it was going to be rare as hell to get, they could have just released it as overpowered, knowing full well that by the time the next update came out, they could still have time to fix it, because no group would have managed to find more than 6 BLMs with Meteor with which to utilise it's over-poweredness.

So you want it to subject yourself to some masochistic experience for a spell? If wiki is any indication at all even the formerly highly desired Kraken Club has a better drop rate than that and it used to be flat out broken in some cases. From what I've seen on here it doesn't sound like Meteor will be all that game breaking.

Oh well, I guess one person's pointless torture is another person's fun and games.

"NOT EVERY WHM WILL HAVE ARISE UFUFUFUFU."

Nor do they all have Raise III, point?

Obtainable != Everyone can get it with ease

I don't want it to be obtainable by everyone and their mules too, why should it be.

Hard to obtain doesn't necassarily mean stupid drop rates, though admittedly that is lazy SE's current route.

since you need 5other BLM to make it worth using and a 10min ja, yes.

if it was a "normal" spell (not needing a 10min ja to cast and 5-6 blm to do good dmg) doinglot more dmg than other spells it , yes it should be hard to get

You mean like how [dev1103] has the following in it?

"An issue wherein the item "Gardyloo Trousers" was unobtainable."

:P So somethings are unobtainable... least until a fix.
