Random Augment system.

[Shirai]

Just because a handful of players were lucky doesn't mean hundreds of others are. Which is unavoidable.

And that is the entire issue!!!
With the Delve Augments you can choose a path and to max those also takes time, effort and maybe gil but you know what the end result will be and somewhat how long it will take you to get there.

With Skirmish it's a game of roulette, which can either cost you a few gil and a few days if you're lucky, or take months of repeating the same thing over, and over, and over without getting even close to the desired result and without knowing how long or how much it will take before you do get what you are looking for.
With an event that by itself is coma inducingly boring.
And for what? Gear that may be completely obsolete again when the next Delve hits?

And all I read from your reply is "Lol, deal with it."

Well the problem I see is that people try to compare other systems and expect it to be the same.

Delve Rank system is fair 100% because you can earn your ranks and achieve the goal you set on your own time knowing what the end results is already. Which is the same results anyone can achieve.

But Skirmish augment system is different.

It's not that I'm saying "deal with it"

My intention is to just give you a different point of view.

Skirmish augment system gives you random stats correct? Which means this system is made to give players different stats that not everyone can have the same.

Delve rank system however allows everyone to achieve the same stats.

The reward from Skirmish augments is allowing you to have unique power that others don't have.

Til this day I have yet to see any player have the same stats as I have on my Dalmatica +1. Which means its very rare.

And that's the reward Skirmish augment system gives you.

Fret not. I am sure in the next few days he will make 7 or so topics on random crap he likes to spew.

I'm sure you will still be there to criticize with your superiorness. I forget I'm always under the presence of royalty.

Just like the day you enjoyed me being kicked out of alliance doing Botulus Rex instantly without explanation or warning telling me to "Learn to scholar" when the entire group of DD wiped out and I was in light arts raising people.

Oh but I didn't proc Tier IV BLM spell and a Black Mage had to do it for me instead.

Which after I spent 500k on displacers to help that alliance to begin with.

And til this day you are still criticizing me on everything I say or do even on the forums.

If GM feels the need to ban me so be it but I'm tired of being nice only to be judged and mistreated.

So if you want to continue Morier go ahead. I'm already use to it.

Make 2 threads about it.

Not worth it

Not worth it

Yea get off your cross.Back on topic. I like random augment system but they need to make the +1 and +2 have a minimum tier that is above the lowest tier of nq stones.

Step down from your throne your highness.

Back to the topic, i think random augments are good for some of us who like to own gear that not everyone else has. It might take time to earn the materials or save up Gil to upgrade until you get decent to impressive stats but once you do get it, its an item that makes you feel special.

Some players might feel like they are the only person on the server to have it. Which is something I wish we had more often. It gets tiring working hard for an item that everyone else eventually gets.

Random augments feels more valuable.

i agree with you choose a path and working for it is much better as stupid random augments

[Luscia]

Gotta say I am really unthrilled with the random augments too. Did some Skirmish 2 last night with my BF and decided to put my +1 stones in the armor; 2 of those stones which I bought with gil. 3 times in a row I had gotten the same lame augment with my +1s; Physical Damage Taken -1%. I know the +1s aren't as "powerful" as a +2, but to be able to get a crap augment like that with a +1 when I can get that with an NQ is just dumb. If you want it to be random fine, but at least tier the stones so that with a +2 stone you can get the lowest of the high end. This is why I haven't dropped 1M on the +2 stone; would be a total waste of gil.

Also, augmenting aside, I would like to say it was kind of lazy in design to reuse the armor models from the Furia sets.
