Tank Darklight Armor.... Really?!

[Gandora]

I don't have the time to find it for you, but it was stated in the video found here. (Link is from a seperate thread on this website)


AF armor : level 45, 50 class quests
AF +1 armor : bought with mythology tomes. AF armor slighty reskinned
Allagan armor : drops in Coils
AF 2 armor : Not released yet.

Do you know that to apply the +1 term, it has to be augmented in a way like Relics. The AF you get from the quest is not augmented to become a +1 when you aquire the ToM one, its a totaly different armor set.

So at this point it does not really matter, no one is right & this argument could go forever.

Btw, ty to the person who submited the link.

They should be called AF2, as +1 is always Augmented version of previous version. Its been pointed out, but its the same with Relic weapon. +1 versions have *always* had +1 in the name as well in FFXI. So my hat goes to AF2. This is all side convo and just funny to me though. I've seen the pics, and honestly I don't care either way. I've actually started calling them "Myth gear" or by their names (Valor hands, blah blah). So lets all meet in the middle and call them what they are, Myth gear, instead of being lazy and Typing AF2 or AF+1, to save a space or two in words.

Back to the actual subject, Darklight doesn't look bad, except for the obvious helm. I wish they'd let us take it off as an option. Its stupid to be forced into wearing. I would be able to live with it aesthetically, but the real issue is the gear replacement. This is such horrible design. SE, please please please do something about this. At least with casters they have a Vanya option to place in slots they get coil drops for. It is so dumb that anyone should have to drop to ilvl60 just to wear an upgrade. Give us some options, or just give the helm/body a disconnect option (split stats accordingly) for the slot you want to keep.

If it did not matter, then why bother to make your comment? The player base will use what ever terminology it wants (correctly or incorrectly). If the developers call the mythology armor +1, then it is technically +1 and everyone calling it AF2 is incorrect. There wouldn't even be a debate had the vendors simply called it "Draken Armor +1" like it renames the Gae Bolg to Gae Bolg +1.

Do they even call it AF+1 though? I mean for all we know they are considering the Myth armor to be AF and the set we get before that old AF cause that's what it is isn't it?

Yes. However it's not contextual in the game and AF +1 doesn't roll of the tongue as easy as AF2. From a tiered perspective, it's understandable why people would call the mythology gear AF2 when it's basically reskinned affinity armor with updated stats.


Edit : I have nothing to gain by lieing to you or others. To quote the X-files, "The truth is out there."

I'd agree except that concept art for the new AF (completely new model) shown in one of their videos was blatantly labeled AF2. It may all be player labeled, but having a actual second set that looks completely different would be better labeled AF2 and the sets we have that look the same with better stats are would be better as +1. I don't think a texture swap is enough to consider it a completely different set of AF over just a +1. That may be me though.
