FINAL FANTASY XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X

[Pocus]

So am I seeing this right, they took the number one problem mechanic (Landslide) and made it one of the gimmicks of the Titan Extreme fight?
I sure hope that latency fix is coming before that fight then...

This can not be overstated. For whatever reason they are continuing to build the game around the biggest weakness of the game. Unbelievable.

[amnie]

I was getting loot because of the myth token system even thought my RNG was so bad. Now they're making it so that the myth gear is even worse.

no they are NOT making the myth gear worse.

Ok making allagan gear better because that makes sense after they knew their chests were bugged.

[Maqaqa]

Same here after 3 months. We have 2 WHM in our group and all we have are the earrings.

Can anyone confirm if they meant weapons only?

I passed for weeks on almost everything because - having af2 - i didnt "need" allagan.
Of course its disappointing but look at the bright side: i90 gear will help you getting i95 gear faster and people that already got it will pass on it.

I honestly don't understand why you have such a problem with this. they are fixing stuff, and then they are adjusting this. they are planning long run, not 'ok we had people with bad luck in the past, let's give them something for free so they shut up'

[Magnesium02]

yea because Dec. 3rd is late November.

Sorry, should have said "roughly 2 weeks" ....

There will be a Live Letter on the 14th

Unfortunately, we're two WHMs who both need the same gear since we've gotten nothing but earrings for 3 months. Very stupid move imo.

Why don't you run for 3 months and have to be happy when everyone else gets drops and you don't. Tell me how you feel then. Then tell me how you feel when they decide to make those drops even better.

The token system was supposed to outweigh this. Now it doesn't.

If you didnt pass on anything i cant see how this is affecting you.
You had bad luck, nothing to do with item lvl. I passed on a freaking i90 body that will soon become i95.
Disappointing? Yes.
Big deal? Not really. Ill stick with it and get i95 gear soon or later.

I dont like this change because i would like several gear sets of the same level with different looks and stats, for the sake of variety.

I think we've been over this countless times in the 'there's nothing to do at endgame game sucks everything's boring' topic:
I don't do endless gear grind. I have other fun things to do. if there's only grind for me I don't play a game - even if I've paid for it 6 months in advance (why you would do this when you apparently were 50 at the start of the game, that is your choice, not mine)
