Allagan Gear getting buffed to ilvl95.

[NeoAmon]

Relic+1 MUST be on par with a stupid lucky roll. We all are wasting weeks, watching others get the drops. We wasted 3 entire weeks for that damned shiny weapon, and it's the most beautiful shiny weapon ingame.
We already made billion threads about elemental weapons doing hundred runs for our weapon, now we have to deal with RNG idiocity for the only ilvl95 weapon ingame?
Such a disappointment.

Sir, are you sane?

You have nothing but time to get it, 2.2 won't come any time soon. Twintania drops needed the buff, or are you saying she is equal to Titan HM?

"大迷宮バハムートで入手できるアラガン装備のアイテムレベルを95に変更する予定です。" I watched the live stream and thought that the producer only meant weapons, but the Q&A on the Japanese forums clearly says "gear" not "weapons".

Remember Yoshi P said somewhere that they want to make Casual and Hardcore players have different ways to obtain iLevel 90 Gears? He said something wanted to make farming Tomb an option too, but take longer to obtain then Coil. If he suddenly changed Allagan Gears to iLevel 95, it does not make sense and this would make a lot of people upset when they farm for Myth Tomb to gears up wasting all their Tomb and weekly cap.

Hoping it just a mis-translation, but he was talking about Moogle Weapon when he mention this, so I think it may just be the weapon. This I'm fine with, but if it's the gears then I would be quite upset. Well if it true and he does mean to say Gears, then he just said one thing and do another which is not good at all.

It's not about myth's gear being wasted or drop rates being RNG, but having only one choice of gear per tier and only one way to get it would be a pretty bad idea imho :/ I hope it's only about the weapons

If its true I think its the best move they could have made regarding i90 gear. Having all coil drops as bis is the correct design decision, while leaving a relatively minor (5 ilvl difference) between myth and allagan. You now can comfortably need on every allagan piece knowing its going to be bis and full allagan is now a set to be desired, even if rng never gets it for you. This gives players a reason to continue playing in coil after they have a full set of allagan or myth gear in every slot, while not making it a requirement to have full allagan for future content.

Poor Blacksmiths.



It's bad enough having a 20 lvl gap between crafted weapons and relic+1s. Yoshi also explained in a lengthy post that crafter recipes will not be altered at all until the level cap is raised. I can't wait to see item level 100 sets while still only being able to make ilvl 70 stuff.


Oh well, at least we will be able to make a few PVP pieces and chairs for houses next year LOL!

Pretty good angle on it.
It's not hard at all to get full item level 90 with both myth and allagan. Not hard considering it's going to be another 3 months till the next coil.
Having a full allagan set be BiS will mean that Coil will be relevant longer.

Now to wait for the crafters to hear about this.....
EDIT:

Poor Blacksmiths.

You beat me to it!

[Zezlar]

Sounds good. The fact that Myth/Allagan were on par in the first place was ridiculous.

[Hanabira]

until we have multiple end-game events of comparable difficulty, we are going to have to deal with having 1 best option for gear. there's no reason why someone who does coil all the time should have the same (or comparable stats) to someone who logs in for a few hours to speed run WP and logs out the rest of the week. That was the biggest flaw in GW2 to me.

[Zfz]

This is great.

The absolute best gear in the game should be attainable by doing the absolute hardest content in the game.
