Considering several questionable choices and omissions it certainly seems that way.
I mean seriously: 2 new classes are introduced and NPC shop inventory isn't expanded to have items for them?
Hopefully on the full release we will see them added. I know I am wanting the Inferno version for Dancer.
What's the point though? Functionally speaking you don't need or should want anything that is a lower ilvl, you're just deliberately under gearing yourself at that point.
I sympathise with regards to raid/primal weapons, as they all tend to be super unique glamour options. But hunt vendor? You're just grasping at straws there.
And this, people, is the reason they keep telling us things are not possible due to whatever reasons. Because whenever you get something, you people act entitled and think you will always get it.
It's a shit ton of work to make weapons for all the old expansion whenever they add new jobs and it only gets worse with every new expansion.
Presumably they'll be added at a later date if there's enough demand. I don't blame them for not adding them right away given the sheer amount of jobs now present in the game and the backlog of work it'd entail.
Whoa there, calm down. No reason to mistake disappointment with entitlement...
People expect these kinds of weapons to be added, because the devs have always gone out of their way to add them; With Heavensward they specifically said in interviews "Of course the new Jobs will have Ifrit/etc. weapons", granted a lot of Dark Knight weapons were just upscaled Paladin weapons, but those 3 Jobs got everything except Relic weapons. Same deal with Stormblood, "Of course they'll have Ifrit/etc. weapons", although that was where we started to see gaps forming, no Primal Focus weapons, no Coil weapons.
To go from that, to straight up nothing? That's very noticeable, of course people are going to comment on it... I don't really see anyone demanding these weapons be added, people are just voicing disappointed. Every new Job has had old Primal/etc weapons, and for some part of the excitement for seeing new Jobs is checking out those weapons, people are perfectly within their rights to comment on that, given the purpose of these forums...
A glowing Thordan weapon would look so cool on GNB. The jobs start at 60 so it is not unreasonable to expect at least the level 60 primal weapons which are classic glamour stuff.
Or you know, the ppl looking forward, saving nidhogg scales and sophia crystals only to learn its not possible... i imagine an sephirot gnb sword must be sweet as well.
Its not like a weapon is that much work, even less when you basically can mesh parts of existing ones xD
Does anyone know if there is a salesman of Gunblades between 60 to 70?
