    Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons at 99 are great for taking on level 99 content.

    Now there's a problem and that is essentially SE doesn't want us to go past level 99 (supposedly because of ascetic issues)

    So how do the 75 to 95 versions need to be updated if they are still great at taking on content they were designed to take on?
    This is one huge mistake here. Dispute them being created for older content as new content pushes ahead these gears and the OLD content gets shoved out the door. The game moves forward the diversity is channeled toward ONLY new content. This stagnates old content and belittles returning players. It also reduces the possibility of new players having access to old content and casuals from enjoying their playstyle. Who the Flip wants to do old missions or anymore. The entertainment value is being lost for a large population of players. You might not see it but SE should be seeing the results now. Why did Wadda really resign?

    One direction for players Humpt, It's the shortsidedness that disturbs the game in such a way that only the UP TO DATE players with a LOT of FREE TIME and FOCUS that can enjoy the content. The way it is now it's focusing on one tunnel vision. There is nothing for the all groups of players to enjoy. So what if RMES get upgraded it gives players the options to choose what gear they like and extend on that system. THey broke it with SoA by making that gear a waste of time to finish.

    I think most people are argent. They fail to notice people pay for this game. If the developers want it to remain interesting and keep subscribers coming back DIVERSITY is the key. Their direction may not be how everyone enjoys the content. It's more or less making more players jump through hoops to play the way THEY want you to. The hardcore don't care they can adapt because of resources the. Casuals just quit and the game becomes stagnant until a new farce is added. Is this the legacy you want that leads this MMO to it's death? That's exactly where it's headed if the they continue making the game less attractive to a broad audience.

    I tell you what get five friends to join this game and see how long they last. I'm not talking hand them gear PL them or help them out in any way. I bet most or all of them will quit in a few months. This is one reason the game is dieing. It's because content isn't fun anymore for everyone. The developers also refuse to adjust old content to keep up. The players who are new or don't play much are screwed.

    Again, SO what if the RMES was designed for older content. The game has gear growth now so special content should always have a place to grow with the new content. Currently the game has a lot totalitarianism in it's basic design you're forced into new content even if it sucks. It's seriously not good if limitations are created that make one or more groups less attracted to this game. Smart people don't like it when they realize this and stupid people don't figure it out.

    I have no 99 weapons, my Almace is 85 due to lack of use, my Excalibur is 95 due to lack of people to do ADL with. Its not me being a douche, its behind honest, I rather 99 have the huge increase and 95s stay the same way, its not that hard to upgrade them to 99, if you did a Relic, you obviously farmed Dyna a ton, people still get and sell Marrows, just use AC to buy them. If you did not do Dyna for a Relic, you have a lot of money, which again, use that same money, buy marrows, you win. Third option is make a group for ADL, with as powerful of weapons as we have now, I can not imagine its all to hard to do it with a small group of people, maybe a few mules, but in the end I have to think its fairly easy. Like I said, I have no 99RME, and I still think only 99s should get upgraded, there is no bias, its simply how I feel about the subject.

    I think this will all blow over once SE implements a display for their true level...

    I haven't used windows 8 yet. If there's no Start Menu, then how do you "run" things? (I.E. start -> run)

    Clicking in the bottom left of the screen pulls up the "Start Screen". Basically they made the start menu a full screen app instead of a pop out and implemented live tiles that show information on the specific apps. IE. instead of a little icon that says "Email", you see a square tile that says email and shows how many unread messages you have so that you know without opening the email app whether or not you have new messages. The "facebook" tile might show how many posts have been made since you last checked or the first line of a message that someone sent you.

    It's really all geared towards people who run windows on a tablet and want to see basic info at a glance. For people on desktop / laptop computers, you can pin apps to the taskbar or desktop etc. and never really have to go into that "menu". There are also about a million apps out there that make the whole thing look / function pretty much exactly like windows 7.

    So how do you start -> run then? Is there a run app?

    Yeah. You can add the run function to the start menu just like you did in windows 7.

    All of the tiles can be organized in whatever way you see fit and re-sized to show more / less info or take up more / less space. It's basically a giant start menu. The main beef seems to be that it is ugly, but they are making the BG fully customizable soon too, so it can look just like the desktop if that's your thing.



    Like I said though, you can pin pretty much anything to the desktop / task bar making this menu pretty unnecessary at all if you prefer not to use it.

    First thing I usually do on a new computer is go to www.ninite.com (after installing a fresh OS over the factory install) and install all the cool free stuff in one shot from there. One of the programs is called "Classic Start". It gives you a fully customizeable start menu that looks / functions just like the old one.

    And now to give you a good answer to this question.
    Windows key + r will open your 'Run' box.

    And here's some other options.

    I expect S-E to reach out and do for level 95 RME owners what they historically did for stage 4 relic owners when these Magian Trial upgrades first came out to begin with: not a damn thing.

    You either finish it, or it's a complete waste of your time. RME's have always been that way. RME's will always be that way. RME's were designed to be that way.

    Have you been playing the same game? unfinished RME were not far behind the finished ones for almost the entire time they have existed. That only changed with delve weapons and the crapstorm that followed. we are now talking about a difference of like 100 damage vs roughly 10-20 damage pre adoulin. The difference in what kind of content you could do with a 95 and a 99 relic pre adoulin was virtually nothing. After they update these, it will be staggering.
