95 And Below RME Weapons

[Alistaire]

I disagree, it's the strongest tier weapon available for lv90 players still, it has no need to be enhanced. If you want it stronger, save your hmps and riftdross/cinder and upgrade the weapon.

Such a ridiculous response. So you think that, for example, Almace 95 being DMG:66 and Almace 99 being DMG:121 makes any kind of sense?

Nobody's asking for the max DMG on these starting @ lvl 85. Or even for it to scale in a linear fashion. But to say that 85-95 empys (and to a lesser extent, relics) shouldn't get any boost at all is just...well, ridiculous.

Edit: And because the original thread is closed I'll say this for myself here. The reason, at least for myself, in regards to 85-95 weapons, why I never commented on the thread saying to be sure those got boosted as well, is simply because it was such an asinine thought to consider they would make weapons jump to nearly double their base DMG in some cases from 95-99, so to me it was "obvious" they were considering boosting those all along.

I was telling people who asked me the same thing, don't worry, SE didn't say they're only boosting lvl 99 versions (after the first post with the 3 sword examples), because as far as the wording in that post, they didn't. They only gave examples.

Honestly, as far as it goes I care very little about my own involvement over 1 empyrean that probably won't ever be 99...it really is just for the sake of reason that I say the lower levels should at least scale up to some extent.

And as far as my own involvement goes, I sell a fair amount of HMP so I'd be glad for this development in terms of personal gain...but still disagree with it on the basis of principle.

Hey, if they only boost 99, I'll be glad to take those heavy metal plates off your hands free of charge. Regardless, I agree. I think there needs to be some boosting considering that all these weapons are a time commitment and some are harder than others. Furthermore, as for the shields, I think there should be a block rate boost considering that block rate varies based on physical level.

Perhaps giving us scaling mechanisms that scale horizontally rather than vertically (as Trial of the Magians does) at each level. That way, everyone would get the chance to do some work for a damage and stat upgrade. I suppose when content levels become integrated onto gear, this could be balanced further by making the the equip level 99 after completing scaling with an equip level 90 weapon.

Well that's honesty a silly question too, does this make any sense?

Its basically the same kind of upgrade, except they are both level 99, both look the same, both have very similar stats, same jobs, and come from the same new unique race of mobs. Its easy to see SE does not care about true balance any more in my opinion from this, because the only real way to make it not look stupid is to nerf the new stuff, which they will not do, so oh well. Unless they nerf the new weapons the game will have this insane jump in DMG at the end, that, or they have to go back through the entire game and rebalance every single thing to lead up to this point, which is stupid. So at this point I suggest you get used to the large gap, because as much as I hate the large gap in damage it seems like its here to stay.

Not if people speak up and kindly request that SE consider that people who don't have 99's will be left in the dust.
