I get that that going back and adding DNC/GNB weapons to every past trial/raid etc from prior expansions isn't neccisarily feasible with their budget and schedule.
But releaseing the new crafted ones without them? That feels bad. Even if it's just reused models with a glow slapped on, they couldn't have reskinned some DNC/GNB weapons to to fit the theme of these primals and added them in? Or Held them back a patch in order to include the new jobs?

We have developers having to use their spare unpaid time to create content. What on earth are they doing with their resources or budget? -

Lo
We have gotten some QOL updates, Ishgard restoration, new diadem, the new relic instance is incoming, crafting and gathering changes, and upgrades to them as well as crafting and gathering relics, ocean fishing. Shiva unreal ( though debatable on how much time and resources went into that). We can't rule out the farm thing since Shb is still going, we still have two poatches to go so we may still get it. Not trying to defend them, just I see a lot of people saying how little we have gotten and dismiss the things we have gotten, just because we lost a dungeon here and there.Quote:

08-22-2020, 03:57 AMVahlnirYeah, adding a Coven weapon was just a waste of resources. Maybe not so much a waste of time since it was probably a reused model anyway, but definitely resources. They could have allocated those resources toward another GNB weapon instead of making a weapon that 99.9999% of the player base will never see, let alone actually obtain. It's also not all that great of a model anyway.Quote:

I still don't understand why they made Coven weapons but not others. I figured they wouldn't go back and do ARR fights but maybe anything 60 and on... (Would love to see a Nidhogg glave set)

08-22-2020, 04:12 AMKuroka
I mean, they knew they gonna change the Diadem... so why even? "hey im gonna make diadem weapons!" "but... arent we closing it down next week?" ".... ....Ill go make em." lol
And again, creating 2 weapons cant be that hard if you could just mash existing stuff... but those gabs... ugh..
(and im salty as i really looked forward a ravana DNC wep xD)
For example for nidhogg you could basically reskin the lv 74 weapons... -
08-22-2020, 07:35 AMJirahHey shire looks nice i freaking wish they did this with GNB but we get the generic *** Neo ishgard swordQuote:

It's getting to the point where you don't know if someone in the dev team hates dancer and gunbreaker

Holy crap I thought I was the only one who actually got hit this hard with this. GNB and DNC getting hit hard glamour wise really sucks. Especially if its your main or favorite job. And now I more so understand it because Covid is ravaging the world. But like GNB and DNC were getting screwed way before Covid was a thing. 21 out of the 56 weapons they have are completely unique models. The other 35 are all re-use, re-color, etc. Then we got a little glimpse of hope with Shinryu just to get shot back down again. :/

bump this needs to be heard

10-05-2020, 10:02 AMPlasma711This is me. I'll throw the bone and meet half way. You dont have the resources or time to go all the way back and do ARR weapons for them. But for god sakes they literally start at level 60. In my opinion anything that is level 60 and above with weapons as a reward should have one for both GNB/DNC.Quote:

They seem to be averse to making models for weapons derived from older content. For GNB, the Ultimate Alexander weapon is a recolored version of the Forgiven weapon from Mt. Gulg... which is also used for the Neo Ishgardian gunblade. The Coven weapon linked above is a recolored Doman Iron Gunblade. I can't say for sure because they're rather blurry, but I'd wager the Padjali / Kinna / Empyrean gunblades are also reskinned versions of other gunblades. Super disappointing - I doubt I could afford one with my current pocket change, but I'd kill for a Tsukuyomi gunblade.

10-05-2020, 10:21 AMPlasma711I'm actually only missing the new Feast gunblade, the Coven gunblade which is un-obtainable, O12s, and E8s gunblades. 21 of the 56 weapons are completely unique models. The other 35 all share models with at least one other gunblade, whether it be re-colored, augmented version of a base gunblade, etc. The same goes for Dancer, it is indeed quite disappointing.Quote:
