LOL@ Yoshi P's response to why Coil raiders should do Crystal Tower

[Pseudopsia]

Of course I'm thinking about the content. The gear is relevant to that--because if the new dungeons have a recommended gearing level of AF and the Crystal Tower has a recommended gear level of 55... these dungeons cannot possibly be difficult and anyone who is wearing Relic+1/AF2/Allagan or even Primal+Darklight is going to blast through them without a shred of a challenge.

The content is completely, totally, absolutely wholly irrelevant if it's not challenging.

There's nothing stopping you from taking off some gear so you just meet the level 55 average required.

Yeah when I read that I face palmed. They're goin backwards lol.

I love your sig

[Berezo]

Extreme primals do not drop weapons, people need to stop posting that in every single thread. It was said in the letter that there is a questline where you kill all 3 primals and get a weapon at the end of it which will be ilvl 90 or higher. Nowhere did they say the primals themselves will drop the weapons and they even made it sound like it will be armor that will come off them(to go with the whole primal armor thing they talked about in beta).

It wouldn't have been a problem if the equipments didn't follow a dumb "vertical progression".

I wouldn't have minded his vanity purpose excuse if we'd actually get the vanity system at 2.1 but noooooooo
+ the snowman event will be just another vanity item you can never use outside the field (unless you register like 100 vanity gear presets)

Do you even read the forums....?

Quote from Bayohne from the Letter X:
"Q57: You can obtain weapons for the hard mode primal battles, but what kind of rewards will there be for the extreme-modes?

A57: When you clear extreme-modes for Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan, you'll be able to obtain an item level 90 weapon as a reward. We've prepared weapons for each job."
It (in plain sight) says that Extreme primals drop ilvl90 weapons.

feel sorry for the legacy players that have to wait until 2.2 to get anything worth while
but we all new CT was going to be under coil, and seeing how I have done coil after a week or 2 doing CT we will be back in the same situation

[Hyrist]

As I said before, people will gobble up whatever SE tosses at them, which is fine - But if this was any other MMO, you know full well people wouldn't accept the company going backwards.

What is...

I'm sorry, but you guys are off the deep end. SEVERELY off the deep end. You make Witchdrop look like a sidewalk crack.

This isn't going backwards, this is literally gap filling. Even then, it's broadening an aspect of endgame that has been widely criticized as too linear.

There were zero indications of this to be anything but what it was advertised to be at the beginning, and you're up in arms about it. This is nothing short of utter insanity, and those upset at this need to unplug from the game for their own health - because the self centeredness of it is absolutely mind blowing.

[Soulburn32]

there is less people doing coil than people doing it, so it will appeal to that bigger group of the population.

extreme primal fights is there for the coil crowd to race for server first!!!! zOMG we are so cool!!

we all knew this a long time ago no reason to cry about it being backwards in terms of gear now
