FIX Relic Weapons

[Olor]

This. Quit thinking you're something special. It is just a game.

Yeah, I am really tired of hearing this elitist whine-fest. For serious. Boo-hoo, I deserve to be the best because I got a relic weapon 5 years ago. Woe is me! Boooo-hoo!

You got to be the best for years with that weapon - now if you want to continue to be the best you need to work hard again. Cry me a river. Asking SE to upgrade your weapon so you can feel superior to other players without doing any work is crap as far as I am concerned.

I believe their real solution is this Dynamis update: Make Relics easier to get instead of making them more powerful.

Stop posting.

But that is the solution. Yes relic and mythic weapons should get a boost in power but claiming that a single set of weapons should be the best of the best and should be extremely hard to get is just silly. That's the mentality the devs were working with years ago and a fat lot of good it did them then.

Yeah, a fat lot of good it did them - one of the best MMOs and most consistent player bases that didn't have to make its self a clone of another well known MMO to get anywhere; didn't do much at all for them, did it?

Now it is making its self a clone of another well known MMO, we've seen two mass server merges within the past 12 months, people must be dropping out like flys. Fat lot of good it did them.

I know I for one am not asking that Relics or Mythics be made the ultimate weapons again - but for them to not be on par with weapons which can be obtained in a week or so is definitely not going to do them any favours.

People started dropping like flies because level 75 was very limited. There was no diversity in what anyone was doing. There was a set path for "best" Whm(meaning all jobs but using whm for ex). There were no optional gear. To be a good whm you have to have this ONE set of gear. Why continue to level and play when everything you wanted to strive for can just be found in every other 75 whm on the server? No one wants to be a clone, it's boring. People want the ability to customize and make the char feel like their own. Their own "version of a whm." All SE has done to accomadate this has been great. It was just a little too late.

I agree with the going back and tweaking relic weapons, but i also suggest that they should add new weapons for jobs such as Blu, Pup, Dnc, Cor, and Sch, as they do not have one.

It's not necessary. Every job had a mythic and empyrean. And most of those jobs save COR wouldn't want the relic.

I have the empyrean sword, and my bro has the empyrean gun. Having these doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to get a relic aswell, he would still get a gun if cor could get one and if they made a sword for blu i would probably try and get it aswell.

Empyrean Weapons require less effort to obtain than Relic Weapons, and offer a superior product. How is this game balance?

There are two acceptable ways to fix this at this point, the more obvious one (more powerful Relics) already outlined by this thread. However, there is also the option of making Relic Weapons easier to obtain, and with the adjustments outlined for Dynamis for the next major update, that appears to be the route that the devs are taking.

[Karumac]

Honestly, making Relics easier to obtain is fine. It's not like they have the broken special powers that a lot of Mythics seem to carry.
