Dated Crab Bow +3 Whyyyyyyyyyy

Just made it 2 days ago ><

I was under the undrestanding that only items made after patch using old recipes would be dated, guess I got it wrong


Nooooooooooooooooooo /hate /wrist /sigh

Feel better now.

Aww

/10char

Yup, i know how you feel...
My whole +1/+2 gladiator set seems good for trash too.
It's always nice to see that poeple who invest time and gils into getting good gears are nicely rewarded, right ? Or no...

need to spirit bond them and change them to materia now.. :<

The dated stats bonus on all items is completely disgusting. I spent so long gathring mats to get a +3 Horn Fishing Rod and you know what the difference between a NQ and a +3? 69 Gathering/Output/Perception for a NQ and a +3 is 74 Gathering and 69 Output/Perception. Are you friggin kidding me? A +5 gathering boost to one stat is it?

Tricorn +3, do you know how hard a Tricorn +3 is to get verus other +3 items? +5 defense over NQ is it. I am not an HQ hound, but the only 2 +3 items I have are complete and utter crap now. We spend tons of time gathering mats, months upon months of playing a game that is still beta quality....and these items...they are still high level items. WTF is going on here SE?

I'm off to go punch a Lalafells chocobo.

We should expect that with each new patch they are bringing together a whole new game. So play it that way...it's part of the adventure of being part of an evolving MMO it's exciting...change is awesome...change is good...embrace it!!!

That's what happens when you invest a huge amount of time into what is effectively a beta. Things are going to keep changing like that for a while I'm afraid :(

+3 Jade Crook and +3 Wind Brand.... sob....

stop crying , you ve been using this stuff for 1 year now and you knew it would happen when they would raise the cap

at least , you can turn it into sexy materia :P

It's not about epeen.
As a matter of fact, i bought all this stuff to be able to tank more effectively in dungeon only to realize that it wouldn't change a damn thing no matter how much my defense would increase because the stats were totally broke. So i believed that with 1.19 and the damage recalculation all this stuff would ending up being worth something. And after all it's even worse than before. So yeah, i'm kinda disappointed to say the least.

Also, it would have been okay if there was an increased lvlcap. But it's not the case.

they should have auto made all this dated item spiritbond 100% :P

I really loved these weapons and worked hard for the materials to get them crafted. If they had a spiritbond level before this patch, they would have been off the charts. Also, there is no possible way anyone had the gear they really cared about exactly one year ago, and even if the cap is in question, there are still some people that would be attached to their old gear. Just because you are 100% okay with whatever SE does to the items, doesn't mean everyone else is. That also doesn't mean you need to tell those of us that do feel loss due to these items becoming dated that we are wrong to feel that way either.

You mean my Dated Banneret Lance+2 will be all but useless now, cept for materia?

Well the game is undergoing vast revisions currently. The only reason it sucks for us right now is because we now have to adapt to the new system. Any new players that come around won't know any better and will just play the game.

You knew the game was going through major changes, and you kept playing it.

sorry i ve been mean... but well , you need to accept it

same when my Alkyoneu Brc. dropped from 60M to shit in FFXI or for those with thief knife etc...

Maybe its our own fault , us player, that put too much effort in virtual items....

someone people buy a new car and crash the hour after, sad

1 min silence for all the "+ items "

Lol SE makes game more logical and a little more effort required n the whole forum turns into a waaafest/cryfest.

Grab a box of tissues, tighten your diapers up, and welcome to the new ffxiv where archers are nerfed and get slightly outparsed by lancers :)

I'm happy that my +2 Vintage Cudgel isn't dated. Everything else is wasted

this was your mistake

devs never stated anything to point to it, you assumed or someone told you wrong

Yeah, this is the only bad side of the update to me. I have like 10 mil worth of gear that is just trash now. How do I get my gil back?

that is exactly what I said :O I got it wrong. Mea culpa. I've already moved on :)

hello dated crab bow+3, *kills mobs*, *converts to materia after 100% spirit bond*, *attaches it to new gear or weapon*, now that dated crab bow+3 you rocked hard, lives with you forever.

How do you know how long I have been using anything? Oh thats right, you don't. Fact is I just got HQ items in the last month and I have every right to be pissed.

Nah, you really don't. The change is highly beneficial for the game in the long run - the fact that it is a (minor) inconvenience for you right now is immaterial.

Look at it this way - it gives you something to DO in the game.

turn it into materia

I think we're all basically in the same boat. I have all HQ gear for all battle classes, now most of it says dated. I'll be working on turning every piece into materia.

Sorry, but when was it that SE promised you your gear would be good forever? Oh.... they didn't, you say? Well that answers that.

Think of it this way, you got prime materia stuff now.

this wouldn't happen if you stopped touching your self at night thinking of your crab bow +3

Sucks to anyone with +3 crafted armor that isnt NM armor.... The new armor stomps all over most of it. some weapons too. Cobalt winglet is awesome.

I think this thread topic should be changed to Dated Crab Bow +3 Whiiiiinnnnnneeee

Sucks to be you guys.

Tricorn is not dated, same with dodore.
