Artifact Armor +2

[Samm]

Hi!

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to be posting this.

I would like to request Artifact Armor +2 be added to the game. Since we already have Relic Armor +2 and Empyrean Armor +2, it only seems fair. I would also like it to work a little bit like Relic Armor +2 in that you can use the new +2 system to completely skip the +1 version.

Obviously, I'd like the new armor to be useful and maintain its original practicality, but I understand if a few pieces need to be made into duds since no armor set is perfect. As for systems how you obtain the +2, may I recommend Meeble Burrows? The bosses could drop 0-3 upgrade items, and you need 3 per piece you upgrade. Just a suggestion though! You could handle it any way you want to

Thanks for reading!

I would like to request that this not be added to the game, because... well, I'm the "No Police!" and... it's a suggestion therefore I have to say no!

(in all seriousness, I would prefer new job specific armor sets to just upgrading the old ones, but new shinies are always welcome- I would expect they would do this through SoA content though.)

We've asked for it a few times. Really pushed for it during the "neo Limbus" update, SE was luke warm on the idea.

I really think we should have AF+2 available, many of the original AF items have unique or special bonus's that make them very situationaly useful. Would be good to have an updated version of them.

They already said they don't want to release AF1+2 content when they released the Limbus upgrade. I was kinda disappointed, some of those pieces could become really nice if they get the kind of upgrade relic armor got with AF2+2.

Booh

There would really be A LOT of interesting job specific items, plus I love the FF-esque look of AF gear for most jobs.

I like putting on new looks now and then, which is why I'd prefer an entirely new set to another set upgrade. That being said I prefer specialized job sets to multiple-job gear even though it's more of a strain on inventory space.

LMFAO. I remember fighting for this, and the DEV response...

Neo Limbus sucks, I do it 2x a week, it's dreadful gear and even worse getting enough people to do the event. I like limbus, so I do the event. +2 would have helped neo-limbus alot, but the DEV choose not to invest time there. To me, you either do stuff right or just don't do...SE doesn't seem to understand this, hence the crappy cap quests from 76-95, hence the poor upgrades for neo-limbus gear...the stupid gear doesn't even have a set bonus (as if that could help the substantly poor gear) in the first place.

Suggestion for enif and the other neo-omega gear set.

Set bonus: enhances breath attacks

This would actually make the set almost worth getting for blu and drg, if the set bonus applied to cures as well as damage, and the bonus was substantial enough to warrant repeating the fight to gear members with a full set each.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know this was already requested. Could someone point me to the other thread so I can find the dev response to the idea? Thanks!

I'm a fan of this. I like how the original AF looks, particularly PUP and DNC (don't shoot me! ; . THF I'd be fine without, though it would be nice to use my 7-year-old WHM AF again.

Too lazy to search it for you, but if I recall it was within a Neo-Limbus discussion, try to use "Limbus" as keyword and filter to see only threads with dev replies.

Hi,

I'm sorry, I might just be blind, but I can't find any dev responses to the idea of Artifact Armor +2, or even any threads dedicated to its creation. I searched the term limbus, and I even checked the dev tracker all the way back to October, and all I found were announcements about changed entry conditions. Could someone please help me out here? I'm really curious to see what the devs think about the idea. Thanks!
