TBH the majority of the playerbase (statisitcaly speaking) would like the best weapon in game sent to their mailbox... perhaps they should do this? it would make them all happy and certainly keep them subbed another month amirite?

Im done w/ the forums and this thread. It'll only deteroirate as i become more disgusted w/ the genre and the choices they continue to make based on one portion of the playerbase. jesus they try so hard to be like wow, look at the state of hte game now. Do they learn nothing or is this intended to be a few year long lifespan/bridge to ffxv?

The only answer to this should be: Get over yourself.

Your argument is exactly what drives me up a wall with worshipers of Eastern MMOs and their horrific RNG system. Who here in ANY of these threads even remotely argued that Atmas should be handed to us by the delivery moogle? You deride FFXIV as some WoW clone, but I'd sooner have a flourishing WoW clone with the potential to last for years than an MMO like Wizardry Online that's being given its last rites as we speak despite outright pandering to the no-life brigade.

I think alot of people finished there Animus right now.
I even got mine today and been seeing few others. People pushed themselfs to complete them before 2.25. After that letter it was a disspointment.

Don't forget those people using the slightly derogatory term "the masses", try to remember that without the masses you wouldn't have a game, as they are the ones paying the majority of subs to keep this game a) alive and b) profitable. Should these so called "masses" decide to leave en masse (see what I did there)....the game would take a nose dive and you lucky few would have no progression at all :)

I'm not sure whether those defending this debacle are fanbois, brown nosers or just have no empathy for their fellow players, I tend to go with the latter. You go on about the "want it now brigade", which by the way, I haven't seen anyone in all these threads asking to be given it now, but on the other hand you are the "me, me, me brigade"...as in "I've got it, you guys must be bad players, unwashed masses, don't put the time in" and "I want my animus quests NOW". Which comes full circle as you want something now, and they want something now.

So your whining about your precious "progression" on the relic weapon being held back whilst criticizing other people for being held back by RNG, is rather hypocritical don't you think?

I kinda wish they do this...
(1) Not make it a requirement to have Zenith Equipped for obtaining Atmas in Fates.
(2) Use Atmas earned from Fates for other things then Relic Progression.
(3) Change the Myth Books objectives a bit in 2.3 when they have 3 more new dungeons. (Repeat the same dungeons & leves in all 9 books)
(4) Add il95 Stats on the ????? atma relic weapon.

After reading patch 2.25..

No mention of easing the Animus quest line for players to catch up.

Does Yoshida believe that by May, there will be significant amount of players with Animus then? :rolleyes:

• We would like to incorporate feedback regarding the difficulty of the Zodiac Weapon quests.
• We are working to increase the number of locations where materials for the next upgrade can be obtained.

I apologize for the delay, but those of you looking to obtain the power of "Novus" will be able to do so in patch 2.28, scheduled to release in May.

Replace title with "Are you disappointed?"

Saying they should release Novus now and add changes in 2.28 is simply meaningless as it's not ready to be released.

Cool reallocation of resources, I especially loved the part where they changed the icons of atma, also known as the only part.

Someone on the Japanese side snapped lol. Laughing my ass off at his post

If you can read Japanese, have a good laugh.

Basically.. (trying to enact how an EN speaker would say it since the OP isn't using formal Japanese)

"Hello Yoshida! Do you remember what you said during your Live Letter (refers to the last one on 2.2)? If you cannot, visit the hospital and seek treatment! (I literally lol'ed at this part)

Why are you pushing pack the Novus quest line? Because of those jealous people (of us that has Animus)? Reason of dealy because of few people having Animus, seriously? What about those who had Animus, what are they going to do?

If you want people to have Animus, drop more Atma and reduce the Myth cost on books (cos patch 2.25 notes did not mention any nerf, so he was pissed that the delay reason was not enough Animus but Yoshida isn't doing anything to help either)

Please wake up your idea!!"

-end of translation-

LOL'ed

In other news: there's a screenshot from a new Famitsu floating around which indicates that Novus weapons will be i115.

Source pls OAO

If that is true, that's going to be quite a jump.

Aside from that, depending on the stats (and if I understand right, their customizability) they'll make any alternative completely irrelevant.

[edit]
Yes, I would like to see a source as well.

If this is true I could easily see alot of uproar. Personally I would like it. The Animus alone requires ALOT of farming/work to get. The reward for all that work should be really good. Especially since I predict that Novus will be no pushover to get...

Only thing they need to change is the way ATMA is obtained. everything else can remain the same. I have eight now.

If that link is correct and Novous weps are ilevel 115 then this grind makes complete sense IMO. Changing it would make it too easy to get something that powerful.

No, it would just make it generally quicker- it's already quick for people that have been lucky with the RNG. Difficulty isn't really an issue with lower level FATES.

The difficulty is getting stuck with the shitty end of the rng stick and getting through that incredibly mind numbing grind. I admit, I was relatively lucky, and I really don't want to do that insanely mind numbing grind again.

Yoshi p said he want'd relic upgrades to be during every patch thats a content/upgrade patch.. liek 2.2 we saw 1 he wants one in 2.25."pushed back for 2.28" and we'll see one in 2.3
