Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[Sargent]

I dunno why you'd even consider the idea, let alone why you'd tell us you're considering the idea.

Making weapons that were always supposed to be top-tier useless and thus taking months to make useless in comparison to weapons that take hours (or seconds via the AH) to get is a good way to kill the game your developing. Fair enough if we're talking level 85 (unfinished) top tier weapons, but we're referring to Lv.99/Afterglow weapons here.

Camate, you're all right.

As the community rep, I hope you are able to adequately convey the sentiment of the masses. And I hope that Matsui delivers.

[Seha]

I don't like Matsui's response.

The idea is bad and more importantly the way things are worded seem to show that a concrete plan is not even there. This, above everything else is not acceptable from your part. You can't just throw things at us and think about consequences later.

If this does go down in a bad way It'll end up killing the game the same way Sony killed SWG by changing the entire class system without even mentioning to the playerbase that they were doing it.

I never saw an MMO die so fast like that one.

To a point almost overnight with the patch a lot of people became disillusioned with the game. Plenty of people were in progress on long term weapon projects in FFXI, r/m/e at various stages. Now all that motivation to play is now gone. Even for myself I was farming gil to buy marrows for Rag99 now that isn't going to happen.

I know what you mean. I have a couple of 90 emphs and a Rag that I'm 45/70 on bronze with and I'm like well if anything I'll finish it to say I farmed a relic. I've seen SE piss off the player base quite a few times, been playing since NA release, but I've never seen them piss off so many so fast.

After Camate's last post, I'm kinda wondering...just what are they discussing? The best, easiest course of action is to just plan to increase R/M/E damage. Are they discussing what to raise them to? Or how to do it?

They're talking about FFXIV Cuz new producer is busy doing FFXIV stuff and unable to address this issue in XI atm.

/sigh another mistake SE made, made me lost faith in FFXIV too.

IMO... (IDK how much hate I'm going to get for saying this), I can't WAIT for FFXIV to be released and fail again... that way we can carry XI business as usual, there will be a lot of work done on the game (remember last time we got new avatars, empys/relics got worked on... ect) and hopefully they'll just focus on their flagship, and not try to make all these failing substations.

FFXIV and its producer (Yoshida) are not connected to FFXI or its producer (Matsui), insofar as they don't have anything to do with each other's jobs. If anything, Yoshida may have learned valuable experience in what not to do in certain situations with his game, but look at what it's cost Matsui.

Please don't let what happens in XI colour your judgement in XIV. They are completely separate games.

In general, they were also right to delete some of the very offensive posts. I hate this new update too, but if you're going to get angry, do it at Square Enix as a company and not Matsui as an individual. No single person deserves that, despite all the bad calls he's making...

It's not even about R/E/M for me since none of mine are lv99 yet. It's the way they made almost everything before SoA obsolete in one small update, or the way we've been thrown onto this high-speed conveyor belt of gear progression. Out two months (barely weeks due to access issues) and already the Naakuul fights have been reduced to a stepping stone you need for Delve access.

I didn't ask for all of my goals-in-progress to be made a waste of time and I'm sure no-one else in the same position did. This is the true reason most people are upset. The motivation has gone and we're left wondering, "Why bother?". That, I believe, is impossible for Square Enix to turn around right now.
