We’ve been at this for 6 months and change already, and considering how IMPECCABLY SLOW we’re getting patches this expansion? It SUCKS. FRU’s already been out for a while now, and the same with Chaotic. Unlock the god damn tier so people can farm weapons and gear for alt jobs to prep for next tier, because if you just slate 7.2 for Early March? It’s going to be hell trying to catch up on 7.17.
We also need to have a talk about how slow unlocking the tier has been since Shadowbringers(content cadence was set back by COVID, but understandable); this carried badly into Endwalker and Dawntrail when COVID Pandemic was dealt with. While I do not incentivize crunching the devs, people have been complaining about lack of content because your content cadence has been awfully slow - and even with the IMMENSE backlog, your casual player is starving while raiders are eating - where the inverse was true in Endwalker.
If they can increase content cadence back to 3.5 Months, I wouldn’t complain. But 4.5? That’s a lot of time just for that - even if SE is an “indie company” with a CEO that still wants to ride NFTs. The ship needs to be steered back so we can keep people enjoying the game(aside from Dawntrail’s story…)

I legitimately think they've just forgotten. Yoshi-P is cooked.

They think unlocking them at the .18 patch is always the same thing, even if the time between patches increases by 50%.
-
02-06-2025, 11:46 PMBigCheezWe don't usually get a x.x8 patch until x.58. I think 7.15 was supposed to be the last patch this cycle, until the hotfix to fix the untranslated text. It should have been turned off in 7.15. In Ew, IIRC it was turned off in the same patch that added the additional role quests.Quote:

02-07-2025, 01:10 AMHyperiusUltimaStill doesn’t help that we’re artificially gatekept on gear months after the tier’s dead and on weekly farm for most raiders. By the time someone is able to get 24 books straight, that tier should unlock since by then your Midcore statics would’ve potentially blasted the tier already; it also helps people prepare for the new tier.Quote:

Savage should unlock on the .1 patch
Ultimate shouldn't have a lock out at all -
02-07-2025, 01:36 AMArdethIt's because they hate the idea of a game with 21 jobs having any sort of slack whatsoever.Quote:

02-07-2025, 02:41 AMHyperiusUltimaThe reason lockouts exist in instances is so that you don’t have people hogging every single instance a la Stormblood’s “A System Error Occurred During Event Movement” or among other things, just not having the space to house every player instance. We saw that in Endwalker in fact with how hard they were selling and couldn’t fit everyone in at the time.Quote:

The main reason Ultimate has a lockout is because Savage does. The weapon is slightly better—one extra materia meld—and it wouldn’t make sense for the more potent weapon to be freely farmable while the weaker one is locked. It also artificially prolongs the snowflake feeling of the weapons.

Not misinformation, but more an opinion of why we have weekly loot lockouts. Lockouts I can understand for the first three months of Savage, Ultimate having a lockout makes ZERO sense, since that is essentially evergreen content in terms of difficulty(and generally even if weapons are the BEST, they're only good until the next raid tier/iLv increase).Quote:

This late in the tier are there really any people who care about it and still don't have the gear they need? They wait too long for these things.

Honestly I just want to be able to be able to freely buy the thingymajigg to upgrade my Quetzalli weapons to 730 at this point, which should become available for Jeuno Coins at 7.18.

02-07-2025, 08:47 AMJeeqbitThey always do this in the .18 patch. Which is probably the next patch.Quote:

Should've done it with the 7.16 so there was something other than just a single quest added to it (that had a botched translation to boot) and the usual PvP balance changes.
No freaking reason to wait even longer for 7.18 for this. I agree with the others even though I don't touch savage. These increased patch times should mean savage unlock should be accelerated. -

Don't need to read much of OP's post to hard agree. Players shouldn't have to wait this long for something like this.

It would be nice, but yes it is clear that we are getting less for a longer period of time.

Considering a seasoned raid group can bang out much of this content in a night once it is on farm status... and people are guaranteed a token drop to pick whatever they want if they don't win the loot they seek - oh, and you don't have to farm spawn items. There's no exp loss. There's no food loss. You can run this content whenever you group wants to. There's no dungeon crawl to get there.
It is all reward, no risk. And the time investment is small after it is on farm status. It is fine the way it is. The balance is already there.
How about they remove the lockout, but make it that when you die, you lose a level and can't run any raid content again for a week? -
02-09-2025, 01:56 AMKaurhzThe balance isn't there.. There is literally a healthy medium between allow week-1 uncapped loot and waiting 7 months for it. Shouldn't be a lockout for as long as there is.Quote:
