REMA Afterglows & merging

[ashstar]

The status is real

Jesus christ man, if you spend as much time here calling me snowflake in the game doing ambuscade, farming currency and nm for empys. you would have 2 REMAS by now.

Go work! maybe one day you can be a snowflake.

Wait I thought everyone had at least 1 REMA by now.

But they are so easy now... well to make. Glowing is still quite the chore. Heck it's basically mandatory for pld and brd

Eh, not as easy as you think. I'm working on getting the Drg related ones right now. And there are a number of points where it is just going to be a dull boring grind or a Royal PITA. Chloris/heavy metal for Emp, Currency for Relic, the ZNM pops for Mythic. I did the math earlier, and on the parts can buy from ambuscade rewards ~10 months on average if rely on that alone if the information of them being capped on number per month I saw is true. So unless get lucky on some parts, still gonna be pretty annoying and tedious to make.

I was looking to something challenging. like, beat the master trial with the weapon? also, gungnir 85 90 95 already have to kill dynamis mob (attestation dude x5, animated spear x10, arch dynamis for 5x murrows). boooooooring shit. then collect 10,001 plutons grind. mythic has beat chariot x5? then ZNM x times and PW drop x3 and 10,0001 beitetsu, similarly empyrean. no more grinding something challenging and fun for once. i still want to kick on the balls whoever had the idea for killing blows and pluton/beitetsu/boulders.

maybe some minimal cards i would hate it to be like 500+

You might have a better idea for something challenging. Mainly as long as it ties into the lore, involves the use of the weapon specifically, and doesn't screw over the less popular jobs by being tied to super hard party/alliance content that few want to even attempt with what is seen as a sub-optimal group, I would be fine with it.

boring isn't the same thing as hard. The content to make them besides aeonic is super easy that anyone can do just really boring that no one wants to do

IMHO, all of them have a stupid grind region that is boring and not fun.

This is just my personal opinion not to be taken as a suggestion. I rather have a stupidly difficult alliance fight where only can have 1 of each job and shout my ass off for it than do a dynamis currency/Alex farming/Chloris/HMP/Afterglow/beads currency farm for a month or two for 1 objective. It is too excessive. I have done it and I did not enjoy. I was like a crap, i have to do this kind of thing (like taking the trash out, cutting the grass etc).

Urmom I disagree in the aeonic being easy. There is no players on in most servers, without Dominion campaign, getting 50k beads takes basically trying to kill the dragon by yourself which could take 3 hours for 1k, and repeating 50 times. I can see your point though, because even my loldrg can solo/duo up a big chunk of the NM outside reisenjima and you can merc wins.

If you are a player like me and possibly loftythoughs, you wouldn't do that. I would like to beat them fair and square with friends or a shout group. That increases the difficulty. The difficulty back then was in a number of people doing coordinated autistic tasks. Now with the current population is no different than jumping 200 thunders in FFX, just plain boring task.

People are arguing against this idea like it's 2008. Having the benefit of multiple weapons isn't going to end Vana'diel. It'll make elitists even more elitist when their shout groups make it a requirement but at that point maybe people need to suck it up already after 15 years and start forming their own groups for a change.

This is pointless to debate. SE is never going to allow it for some reason or another, but it's certainly won't be because of game balance in today's FFXI. I don't think my THF is going to win any awards anytime soon just because I can suddenly DW RMEAs or whatever. Any time anything causes a problem SE is quick to step in to nerf so I don't know why this fear exists. Just have the perk of using several different weapons at once be an insane requirement, even beyond XI insane requirements, like a 30 billion gil investment so like 3 people ever achieve it, and they can speed up a battle by 5 or 10 or 30 whole seconds omgsoawesome. Whatever. It's not like they would make this change to be a big f you to everyone who didn't have 30 RMEAs sitting in their inventory. You would be protected by the nerf bat as you have been for over a decade ._.

and I speak as someone who isn't anywhere near the position to take advantage of such a change. I just don't see it as a problem in an era when your ass is frowned upon if you can't do 50k damage while watching TV...

I said a honest reply 2 pages back of how this could be worked in.
A quest for ppl that have all 3 colours.
Turns into a cape, ear, or ring to give purple or whatever colour.
I'm not hating this or that concept.
