Primal Battle, Ifrit Loot

Can someone explain the blue sphere on THM weapon? Is it a playstation move remote? lol...

Looks like the weapon designers from World of Warcraft found a new job.

Wonder when we'll see volcano shoulder pads and meteorite helmets.

LOLOMGHARPBOW

meh i like them but i just think they are slightly too big for the character models and in turn looks a little bit tacky.

please tone it down slightly! :3

You don't incapacitate the chest so it doesn't help your drop chances, and Deepvoid/Batraal at least have no loot table of their own so there is really no point in incapacitating either which is a real shame. Once groups figure out how to kill Ifrit now all they can do is continue to farm him the exact same way until everyone has the drops.

If incapacitation had been included then groups could push themselves to incapacitate different areas for a better shot at certain loot. I guess I'm silly for wanting more goals in a fight than just get HP to 0% as quickly as possible, but then again I've been playing MMO's for a long time I guess I expect more.



I think we got enough fun with "chests" in Darkhold to hold us over for one patch... we haven't had an encounter to use incapacitations on since the December NMs.

Except incapacitations brings no added difficulty at all. It's a pointless mechanic that will hopefully be phased out.

Don't forget all the gunblade weapons and empire ships that look straight outta war of the worlds and all that other "Final Fantasy" like stuff >.< Ya these weapons don't belong in Final Fantasy game at all *sarcasm* lmao... 1.19 really does look like the start of making the game feel like a real FF, and more stuff keeps piling up :) Can't wait! Good news is though, most the people complaining will get over it a week or less after its released like alot of the other stuff when first announced lmao Quest markers, agro icons, instance timers, party size reductions, could go on forever... Thank god the dev team is smarter than that though and doesn't listen to these people :D

i think they pulled off the glowing weapon theme with the right amount of balance were they aren't obnoxious. pug/thm weapons look dumb though, but not cause they're glowing.

once there are other primals and a variety of weapons it will really give the game some character, instead of a game were everyone wears either scail male or an alpine.

I'm not a fan of glowing weapons, but the bow and the staff are nice... the lance is aweful '>.> but well, i'm not gonna argue about personal taste.

Btw, is it me or the passive/active mode animation has been sped up?

Glowing weapons huh.

Well at least they only glow when in use.

Love the weapons, great job SE!!!

Don't listen to the haters, they look great and are exactly in line with what I would consider the Final Fantasy style to be. Ever since Cloud's slab of steel in 7, the weapon design has been open to daring and fun items such as these.

Bravo!
