Skirmish (07/10/2012)

Do we really have to put a negative spin on everything they release?

If you've got an issue with how much instancing is going on, I'd say it might be time to reconsider game options. It's clearly not going to stop and they've mentioned it a bit for 2.0. If you hate instanced content this game may not be for you. There will be a mix of both in 2.0 but instancing will still be around and likely going strong.

"More weapons, inv -7". Well no one's forcing you to get the weapons. You have to decide if they're worth the space to you. Are we really complaining about more gear choice?

Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.

Skirmish does sound fun though, it's something different at the very least. Instancing will at least keep it balanced and, hopefully, difficult to a degree. Thanks Devs for finally giving people a reason to go to Limsa lol.

Where in this scenario does it sound like we are losing our weapons, or will be unable to obtain them?

Who knows, I just know we're going to lose the story related portion of them. The weapons are already getting outdated so that's where some people's assumptions are coming from since we do know the main purpose of primals in 2.0 is for Free-Companies to summon them (the existing ones at least, who knows about the future ones), so that might be the only reward, no one knows.

Realistically, they should have just made them like XI's avatar battles.

It's the forums...it'll be forever complaints no matter what...it's the place people come to vent...especially since they feel they have a voice here...

And in reality if you look at SEs responses to the ventfest. They seem to appeal to the complaints in this forum. My only hope is that they are looking beyond these forums for direction and inspiration.

Feeding the venting community doesn't bode well if that is what they are using for future game direction.

What every game company needs to learn that the few complain...the majority never say a word and just leave...

that seems like a pretty stupid assumption, seems to me control of a primal is just icing on the cake otherwise no one would bother fighting a primal until it is controllable completely locking out the content for 2 week periods

I'm fine with the content itself, it sounds fun for sure, I just don't like how there's a set of new weapons to obtain in every single patch now, more or less making certain previous weapons obselete depending on the stats.

I wish they could think of something different and worthwhile as a reward. At the very least, I'm hoping these weapons will have something different about them that seperates them from primal and GC weapons.

Back to the new weapons...they got a coral texture color to them very cool.

I hope they make them more iridescent and shimmer. My lil complaint with the GC 25K seal weapons was they were a little dull. They looked cool and stainglasslike but miss that lil spark that would be cool if they adding a little shimmer to them.

Hate me and I know it sucks graphics...I like glowing weapons!!!!

there are waaay to many weapons, they are also getting worse in design

Why the F*** are people complaining that we are getting more weapons?????

These weapons look like they were forged from Golems in FFXI. Either way can't wait to try out this content. Variety is the spice of life.
