Please remove COP requirements on reforged relic and AF

[Olor]

So, I hadn't realized that relic reforges were also gated behind CoP progress until just now...

Please remove this requirement. I was really excited to play and work on reforging my relic equipment - finding out this is walled behind 300 cut scenes is really depressing and kills my will to play the game.

It's really unfair to lock unrelated content behind mission progress. I only have about 4-6 hours a week to play right now, so basically I'd have to spend all my time on cutscenes for weeks in order to actually work on improving my character. That's not fun.

I really am not trying to sound mean here but...

You have a forum join date of 3/11. That already is almost three years ago. You were probably playing before then. And somehow in three years, you've not only not beaten CoP (and therefore no Rajas???) but you haven't gotten Sea access?

I get having limited time to play, lately I am so wiped when I get home I get almost nothing done in game but... three years?! For one of the best FF storylines ever?

Sadness.

Everyone plays for different reasons. I enjoy doing difficult battles with friends, and mindlessly grinding fodder. I don't enjoy spending hours running between inconsequential cut scenes. I've worked on COP but crap like getting stuck on the two key thing for 6 months really slowed me down. It's good they removed that block, but even still its really tedious to spend my time reading the wiki trying to figure out what to do next (it is really frustrating actually) and then just running between battles that are inconsequential and cut scenes.

Maybe if the game actually told me what to do next step by step but spending the evening tediously reading FFXIcyclopedia to figure out what CS I missed and why can't I progress is a nightmare.

Honestly I don't get the judgy-ness this is a video game, I play to enjoy myself. When I stop enjoying myself the game will not be getting any more of my money. Getting dangerously close with content that is gated by unrelated mission progress.

This crap again, even after they nerfed CoP one more time.

Even though your only complaint from last time is that your friends in game are too busy with current stuff and that you find it boring to do because it didn't lead to current hard fights to do and that doing cop now is boring and tiresome because you are way above the difficulty cap for it. Yet like I and another poster have said you could have easily cleared CoP after the level caps were taken off when people were still doing it back then and when CoP related things were still being done and still a challenge.

You must be hating the SoA storyline right now since it has been all CS with fetch quests and omg only two fights. With at least two roadblocks that I know of. The please use enough tags part and the quest involving the raptor fights down in rala waterways. I know this as a friend of mine who just got SoA recently and got caught up in the missions couldn't get Levil to tell him where to go and meet the exorcist. All he would say is complain about the noise coming from the waterways.

Good idea! But while you're at it, please remove the requirement to gather Rem's Tale Chapters too. I have limited play time too, and I don't really want to farm sparks or do battles for these fetch quests. I pay $16.95 every month, God knows the last thing I want to do with that money is actually play the game.

Please remove the requirement to log in to the game. I'm finding it difficult to fit FFXI into my schedule these days but I still want to progress.

Ummm.... I'm not 100% sure, but don't you need materials from Limbus/whatever to upgrade? Just like you need the delve megaboss items to upgrade relic to 119?

You can skip it if you use more papers, for the 109 version.

Wait wait wait wait...

Content that's been out since 2004..2005 at the most for progression, and you've been around for at least 3 years.....you never attempted to progress CoP? You do realize there's a pretty nice ring at the end of CoP...right? Though I figure the OP was being sarcastic because you can clear CoP, especially as a BSt, pretty damn quickly these days, with no level cap at that.

Main reason I feel the OP was being sarcastic because she stated she dislikes playing an RPG...yet wants to play Final Fantasy XI, an MMO and RPG.
