New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[Karbuncle]

Their wording was something like

"We have plans to make sure your relics/etc you've taken to 99 wont go to waste".

They said nothing about buffing them, for all we know owning the 99 R/M/E could just mean they'll give you a quest to unlock their weaponskill or allow you to use them in your offhand. (though the WS thing makes little sense for Mythic). Either way, They said nothing of buffs, simply those weapons "Wouldn't go to waste", which sounds more like an afterthought or "They won't be completely useless, we promise!".

They also specifically said they would not improve them through trial of magians or any other means, which means their only options are a flat out buff too 99 R/M/E or... Prepare to use them in a quest to unlock their Ws's broseph.

Prepare to use them in a quest to unlock their Ws's broseph.

I would be somewhat happier with this, I mean CDC with Excalibur for RDM would actually be badass, same with a few other weapons using their WSs, like new H2H using VS.

Can't wait to use my Vere offhand.
Oh wait!! :P

They could also modify the way Aftermaths work, the way it doesn't get overwritten by same level aftermath, its lasting time, its proc chance, stuff like that.
But then again it's only things that are gonna happen for lv99 ones.

I wouldn't really mind bringing a second Empyreal to 99 but realistically I don't really have the resources to spend over 70 mils in Riftcinders and over 100 mils on Plates. It would kinda be like... one year of hard work for me.
Now if only they could increase the drop rate of HMP/Cinders just a little bit... :'(

I can't say I wouldn't be okay with it... Cause I'd be able to unlock Mercy whenever the FK i wanted to use it, But It would be a sad resting place for a 99 Empyrean or Relic lol, and a poor replacement

Still look forward to seeing what they have planned, but the wording they used... Let just say I won't be holding my breath lol

Ill admit I'm only ok with that kind of idea because my only Emps or Relics are for my RDM, my Excalibur and my Almace, and when I get off my lazy ass to do it, Mandau. None of these 3 have been outdone for RDM by this update, so all of my weapons are still of use, I would just get a better WS for Excalibur out of it is all, for other jobs I admit I can see why they would be upset, other than perhaps MNKs just because their DPS would fly.

The only way this could possibly justify the time and expense of a 99 r/m/e is if the aftermaths come with it.

I know I plan to finish my 99 upgrade. Apoc will always be useful in some way, but also I have confidence that SE will eventually make appropriate adjustments even if it takes a year.

As long as you keep paying those monthly bills, they keep promising something will be done, well, something, not sure when yet, just keep on paying, maybe in 2016, but it will get done, we promise!!

Just have relics tradable into an egg buffet, or a wall trophy, thatll make these people happy. They should have a house furnishing that they can be proud of to help them move onto new content finally and forget about the past.

i was shocked when they did the +ws % damage on the relics/mythics, they'll probably do something else later... 2 things;

1. they might make OTHER weapons with better damage, but dont forget a lot of your dps/damage in general is from ws/other abilities on the e/m/r; further more I did read someone say they did the SMN trial staves... I have to put this out there like a commercial in old timey movie DON"T MAKE THOSE STUPID STAVES GET GOOD GEAR AND A CHATOYANT STAFF (use all that time to get gil for it); or get a nirvana since it'll make your merit bps go crazy good dmg and will give you just as much for all your avatars; or use that time invested to make the blm trial staves... since the smn ones aren't that great... anyway like said have to get that across... but as for my second point...

2. LUVBUNNY WHY DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME you seem very dissatisfied with SE, so why are you still padding their paycheck, I'm not going to apologize/condensed with that statement; your negativity annoys me, I'm fine with the game and acknowledge that they are paying more attention to the game these days then they did 2 years ago... anyway chick if you don't like the way it's run just quit and leave those of us who want to enjoy the game alone... not to be mean, just being honest, why invest time in something you don't enjoy.
