Lazy Crafted Weapons & Lazy Garo Gear

I don't want to have to wait until the end of an expansions when they have relic gear in order to have an awesome weapon. This is very likely to spoil my experience for future jobs, because after this cycle of the same thing happening again, I just can't take it anymore. Why play a new job if all the glamours will be inaccessible, and the weapon variety will be low.

As for the Garo event, Gunbreaker should have had its own tank glamour, but instead its reskin of the dps, and healer glams. That's so bad, and so lazily inconsistent. I'm getting sick of stuff like this happening in this game. The quality of XIV has severely gone down.

look on the bright side. At least you play a race that helmets work for. Now imagine that, in addition to your class not having weapons, helmets also don't work because of your race :)

Uh, I tried the new raid helmet for healer on. Last I checked I can’t wear it. You might want to rethink your statement. Au Ra can wear stuff with horns clipping, but we can’t clip our ears. It’s backwards.

sorry I didn't really realize you were viera. But my sentence can still make sense, just take it as irony XD

Makes me lol every time.

You should've known devs have the attention span of a wasp so they lost interest of the races the moment they were created. That's YOUR fault.

Not so much that it is anyone’s fault, but that the dev team essentially said “hey guys, you all have really been wanting these races, so we added them the best we could with time allocated to not neglect other critical parts of the expansion. It won’t have everything that core races do, but our dev team even went out of their way during unpaid overtime to add as many hats as they could”

Which was responded with “omg wtf guys this sucks”

So they added more as they could (including that awful Hroth hair) and got even more “wtf guys”.

At this point they really should just say “yeah nah, we will put time and effort into things most players can enjoy; we will put time into these niche things when we have time to…eventually”. As is, I am legit worried island sanctuary will be really half arsed because they keep wasting time trying to do too many things at once.

That is not to say these things should straight ignored. Ultimately, I really hope they just take a step back and devote an entire expansion packs worth of resources on just doing a TLC update and not try to tack things on half finished. No new jobs, maybe just do hardmode dungeons using existing assets etc.

Also with what a lot of others have said, it would help a lot if they had actual planned goals for the expansion listed, not just a wishlist of fluff. As in “this expansion a main goal will be to get viera/broth heads, headwear and hair done-done and future proof.”
