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

[Pellegri]

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

This isn't Guild Wars, most mmo companies outside of ArenaNet know people like to feel more powerful as they get more gear. The whole game can't be based around looks when there isn't even a simple vanity system, you want the GW system then go play that, you want the vertical system then play any other mmo. You knew what you were getting into when you started with 14, they made it clear there would be vertical progression.

Aww thank you Rex

Gear gear gear! That's all everyone thinks about! Not about the Actual content!

How about..wait for it...new content that gives you better gear than the old content of similar type? So basically, you are saying its ok for the reward of the content to be inferior because it's new. What happens when its not new anymore (after the first week)?

How can anyone not see how absolutely moronic that statement from Yoshi was. A BRAND NEW RAID TO GEAR YOUR ALTS WITH. That's the answer to Coils/mythology players.

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.

And if you actually watched the letter or payed attention to the translation they made it clear there was a questline that required all 3 bosses to be killed with a weapon reward at the end. That mod answer does not even mention the questline, why would Yoshida himself mention a questline with a weapon reward at the end if there wasn't going to be one?

I never touched GW, don't know what's there. I just want a RPG.

You need to quote all of what she said which agrees with that statement which you have to have fought all three before gaining the weapon which is what you also quoted and in that quote it does not state a weapon after each individual battle.

Just of CT as an 8man version of AK. You can do it to work on your weekly myth cap when you're bored of AK/WP speed runs. That is pretty much the purpose of it for people who are already in coil.

See when i read it i also facepalmed because they're making sub par side grade gear and/or vanity gear (possible worst case scanario: 4/5 odin-like slot hogger used for a single vanity slot) for something that requires multiple team coordination, and possibly sacrifice if they encounter the built-in troll mechanic, to beat. This makes me wonder if they'll resort to a bunch of memory checks and call it a day. I hope they look back at some of the older content we did leveling to 50 for some interesting fights. On and odd note... Se makes me wonder if they see a mob with way more HP and STR as being 'difficult'.

And in most rpgs the better the gear you get the more powerful you become, honestly haven't heard of an rpg outside of GW where there is not vertical progression as you progress throughout the game. Haven't even heard of an mmo other than GW or ff11(pre Abyssea, so like 4-5 years ago?) that didn't have a vertical progression either.

Amazing how many people who are complaining about this now are the same who were complaining that the current system doesn't allow you to gear multiple classes effectively.
