Vote for 100% drop rate for primals on final week of FFXIV 1.xxx

Did the OP have bad luck on the drops or something? This is such a bad idea.

2.0 should come with new.. primal weapon.. so i think.. it ok lol" coz.. 2.0 u still need farm this hell new weapon again.. so just give someone collection it ok lol"
btw i got all ifrit weapon.. and throw all to... GC point already coz it junk.. mog.. ok but.. still lower then double melt. only garuda now that still ok in event..

Stupidity of the OP's initial post aside, I think something needs to be done about primal drops. We still have no confirmation that they will continue to be obtainable in 2.0, so either an increase in drop rate, a list of discontinued items, or even a freakin' nod from a developer about the issue would be helpful.

The drop rate on Ifrit and Moogle is pretty terrible, though. I shouldn't be going 0/15 on a weapon and then finally get a drop only to have it be one I already have sitting in a retainer. Not to mention most pickup groups last about 3 runs before breaking— if they even win the fight to begin with.

I think four and seven is an unlucky number in Japan because the word for Four (Shi) and seven (Shichi) is reminiscent of Death (Shi). Four and Seven are now being taught as Yon and Nana respectively.

I find this relevant considering the developer, so maybe more days of primal drops? :D

No... Atomos kinda **** on a lot of people's effort already. I'd definitely say yes to everyone getting a totem (Or whatever item depending on the fight) 100% of the time.

I like how people say this about untradeable unsellable weapons but when they talk about getting millions of gil doing nothing (Atomos) there is a big debate on how it wasnt abusing the system*.

(And also the OP said its the last week, nothing saves then lol)

* Obviously not to make another Atomos event they would need to change sell price to GC for seals when they modify drop rates.

Sir, excuse me sir. You left your brain back there at the counter. The last week of this game has absolutley NO SAVING, clearly this is why OP asks this.. because maybe they want to play with it, no harm can be done, as once they log out.. poof goes the item or anything they made off the item... if anything can be called stupid it would be your idea to actually increase rates for your high end hard to get gear so you can actually KEEP them when ARR comes..

Bacon pancakes?

I wouldn't mind if they changed it AFTER Nov. 1st since nothing will be saved. So if people wanted to tinker around with 100% drop rates for those 10 days or so then that's fine.

I was actually thinking of something along the lines of SE implementing a 'special' hotfix before the last week to adjust primal drop rates. To be honest I voted yes and I did so for a reason.

It'd be the final week for this version of the game, so having a lot of people come on and play would be a great send off.

Although it'd be great to have all Primal weapons, I do think that there' be some negatives, most of those have been explained already though. So I'd be in favor of an gradual increase in drop rates leading up to the final week rather than just a flat 100% drop rate.

Yes, and I'll tell you why. Do this after the final server save. Personally I'd love to know what my stats would have been with Darklight gear. After the final server maintenance and save have NPCs around that will start selling these items, all the items. Everything possible to obtain. Why? Just so people can mess around with it. After the final save we won't get to keep anything earned anyhow so why not let us indulge for now and goof around. Come ARR only those who had earned that gear pre-final save gets to keep it and everything else is back to normal.

they should of just did drops like garuda on all the primals in the first place, i still think it should be like FFXI.

theres probably going to be better stuff in ARR from the start, never know but its gonna happen.

Yes they should make all the primal weapons 100%..... starting on november 2nd ^^

You see, DEVs? You see what happens when you don't confirm or deny what's going away?

Now the Hunter Gatherer collectivists who can't have of something without completing the set are at war with the with the people who think their success only matters if other people fail, too, and air support is being called in from the people who claim to hate a game they can't stop playi-

Oh, what? Final Fantasy XIV Forums as usual? ...

Well, then ... carry on.

I don't think OPs idea is a good one but I heard that once the servers go down there won't be a way to get fifrit/gardua weapons anymore?

Is this true? Do we have to get them now or lose out forever?

Yes, I heard about that. Thanks for bring that to my attention. So Ichi(one)? One day, people will be making lines... and primals will be sweating totems!

I <3 your sig :3

Yes, please!

ITT Casuals

Probably already said..but isnt the final week a non data saved time anyways, so what would really be the point? Shits and giggles that you got the Primal weapon you always wanted, only to see it snatched away when the game finally gets shut down?

I think quite a few people wouldnt be able to handle it, at all. You've heard the stories of people going mental and killing family members for turning their games off before, right? This would start a fire that would be best not started at all.

Just sayin'

Oh..and before anyone says "Oh people would already know that they wouldn't get to keep it"

Try again, the amount of entitlement people feel when playing a game is ENORMOUS. I mean HUGE. lol

I have done lots of Garuda runs up to this point and I have 0 Garuda weapons, maybe it's not that bad but compared to my mates who mostly got like 3 Garuda weapons in 1 night, or 7/7 in 20 runs, I feel kinda slow :p

This is not to complain about them, but It's to show that with the current RNG some people may go through hell just to collect these weapons while for some It can be as quick and easy like a breeze, so I'm all for Increasing the Drop-rates (not 100%) or reward the player's effort.

Through that mindset, the test server in XI would be a hugely bad idea.

I could live with 100% chance on totems/nuts in the last week, but not weapons lol

Leet nazis tremble at the idea of not been unique snowflakes ...such a selfish community ...idc if they are 100% and nobody should either doesn't affect your gaming one bit

Grind out your wins then.

It's okay if you want to complain about Ifrit or Moogle but Garuda is a different story.

I got two drops and the other 5 came from totems.

Oh come on... The fight takes like 15 minutes... If you die, you get spat back out right in front the instance trigger. You only lose items if you win... Like seriously... How much more do you really want... How about you just click on the instance and get all the weapons right then and there. And for the last time, stop saying you want a challenge, because you don't, you really don't.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Meh.... I guess, if you casual baddies insist.

How much is the primal system changing in 2.0 tho? Arent the Primals becoming a 1 per world free roaming NM system? Are we sure the Weapons will even be available in 2.0? If it i free roaming NM that the winning side gets to summon later, and then return to being free roaming after a week or so, what impact will that have on ppl who wish to farm the items?

If the CURRENT weapons will not be in 2.0, i dont mind if they do something about the drop rate before 2.0. Ive been spamming all 3 for about 3-4 months. I have 3 Ifrit weapons, 1 Moogle, and 0 Garuda. Yea my luck sucks lol (or the drop system kinda does). I know the Ifrit weapons are obsolete, but I kinda just wish to collect them. It will kinda suck if they are no loger in 2.0. Or suck that I will have to compete with the entire server once a week for a chance at the fight. Unless everyone in said company gets a weapon each kill?

If there is only 1 primal per world, what happens if I want items from Ramuh, but am on a server that only has Garuda?

Is there more info on how the primal fights in 2.0 will work?

you haven't done a lot of garuda if you don't have a weapon. the totems are 100% drop rate

What If I was saving my totems to buy my last round of weapons in order to avoid getting doubles mid-way farming my weapons ? (Which I am doing)That's how I always do things with Primals.

Also, for my previous post, It' just an "Example of Experience" nothing more :p I will keep on farming Garuda Weapons till I get them all nevertheless xD

For Ifrit, I have around 200 wins which is probably pretty common and for Moogle my luck is from bad to so-so (7/7 on both)

EDIT: It would be nice to actually know "for sure" which Items are going away officially so I can prioritize rather than get everything I want within this short-time, which I probably won't be able to.

Wish Ifrit and Moogle were so. I've done 35 ifrit (4 totems, 1 coming from a friend passing to me), 25 moogles (2 totems) and no weapons from either.

They suck for what weapon I have now, but I wish to them >.>!!

Usually i'm a bit -__________- with these topics as they reek of being like button factories to get gold medals...
But this one at least has some merit. I vote yes.

I honestly don't mind. It's not going to affect me in any way if people want to get a bit of enjoyment for the last week. I've already completed my ifrit/moogle sets beforehand, but if others just wanna tinker for a few days before server shutdown, who am I to be a buzzkill? @_e/

Just because you put in "effort" with the RNG doesn't entitle you to have the game suck for everyone else.

big nooooooooooooo

No way, nope...not gonna happen. Not at all fair to those who worked hard to get their Primal weapon. So no.

Because Foundation Day is totally fair to the people who did Caravans for seals?

You know SE isn't actually taking your weapon away from you when someone else gets it, right? If you're 7/7, this would have absolutely no effect on you. Gotta love all the crybabies who come out when people talk about game devs making something easier.

Pointless to argue with those people.
They got it the "hard way" (Boring way, since relying on RNG is not a dificulty factor at all), so they want everybody else to suffer the same way. It's all about E-peen.

And "likes" has nothing to do with the Gold Medals lol.
We gain Gold medals as we increase our post counter.

Again, With the dramatic changes for the Primals, what if the weapons are no longer available?
