MAKE CONTENT RELEVANT (I.E. THE ODIN/BEHEMOTH FATES)

Just wanted to throw this out there, and see what everyone thinks...It's really discouraging to know that all the time/effort/energy you put into camping Behemoth and Odin does little more than offer you yet another piece of useless novelty gear.

Crafting's BARELY relevant; Dungeons are only relevant for endless tome grinding; and Primal Weapons are just "hold-overs" until relic.

Here's a thought for Odin gear at least...not asking for exactly this, but SOMETHING close so it is comparable or better than dungeon-spam gear....

2 Equipped: DMG: 45

Hjalmr

Herklaedi
Set Bonus: Odin Armor
3 Equipped: Attributes Increase 25%, Offensive/Defensive Properties Increase 15%

Yeah I was pretty mad the Odin/Behemoth gear was only iLvl 50, how useless. The amount of time to get them is 10x as long to get any piece of Darklight gear, should be iLvl80 minimum.

At this point the gear is clearly just vanity, I am ok with that honestly. Would be nice if it were relevant but with mythology around, its not a big deal. I am more so concerned with how the hell you can get a gold rank in those fates. My group basically tanked Odin the whole way today and only got silver medals.

This, along with the new Lightning Returns gear, is exactly why we need vanity slots. I'm really annoyed that S-E isn't pushing to get the system into 2.1 to be honest, and some amazing gear sets are going to waste.

For real, SE has to know that there's tons of people already at level 50, and plenty with more than one. The "rewards" from this Lightning event need to be relevant for more than just an hour or two when leveling some random class you haven't 50'd yet.

Didn't Yoshi already say this won't happen? Going to try and dig up the quote, but he doesn't want FATE items to be as relevant as some want them to be.

Agree with making content relevant, and staying relevant. However, as Yoshi-P has stated, content will be nerfed as new is added, and with an ilvl system you can guarantee that all content not the current tier will become irrelevant and not worth doing. Sadly, that's the new design philosophies for modern MMO's. Add more content, but your old content becomes irrelevant making it so there's always the same amount of relevant content to do to progress your character.

I don't agree with that design choice and ends up making the world feel small, there being a lot less to do, and droughts between content patches where everyone is bored and has nothing to do because they did all the relevant content in a few months.

I don't mind that the gear from Odin/Behe is just vanity, but I wish there were things to buy for each class instead of just the plate-armor types :/

No, because that would make the game too much like FFXI (making gear relevant from HNM's with a long spawn timer) and people don't want that

On a side note, Here's a --->>> LINK <<<--- to ask Yoshi a great question! (Currently top question, add more likes if you think it's really important and want it to remain the top question!)
