[To The Dev's]About the Ancient Buckler

[YarozeX]

Why would pld shield be bumped up, the only reason the weapons are is as an incentive to clearing t5. Considering the pld shield drops from t1 and they have said that only weapons from t5 are getting bumped I highly doubt it.

I just made a post here about it and you can see why it effects PLD also.

Yes I agree PLD BLM and BRD get the short end of the stick it seem like.

Except for 2 shields, multiple minions, novice level tools, BLM chocobo barding (which is a not yet implemented vet reward), and various other items, sure.

BLM Chocobo Barding exists. Get your chocobo to rank 10 in attacker tree. Already spent points on another tree? Too bad, no way to undo it.

Make allagan scepter into a two handed weapon and change its stats.

That'd be the only fair thing to do here.

Amen brother. Although an ilvl95 shield drop is just as fair IMHO so either way is fine by me and many of us I'm sure.

That's the DRG barding. Thought you'd be arrogant thinking you knew it all, eh? Heh...

Putting [To the devs] in your topic title does not increase the chance of a dev response. If you don't want discussion, then stuff the suggestion box at the help desk in-game. I suppose you've probably seen other people doing this, but the community reps themselves have said they read all the threads here whether or not you put [to the devs] in it.

It also doesn't decrease the chance of a dev response, either. I don't see why people have to point this out every time someone puts that in the title. If they want to title it that way so that they receive a sort of placebo effect then let them.

I perosnally find it annoying for two reasons:

1)It creates this issue where people are vying for dev attention and makes others think that they HAVE to do this in order to get a response when the reality is it's completely unnecessary. No, it doesn't have a negative effect but it doesn't have a positive one either. Why waste the energy to type it when it doesn't do anything?
2) I get this 'holier than thou' sense when I see these posts and it carries a connotation of "I don't care what anyone else thinks. Devs just read my post darnit" e.g. they're posting on a forum but they're not here for discusssion, they're just here to say "devs, implement my idea!" SE does read the suggestions sent to their suggestion box but I think people don't think they do, and that's why they post here.

TL;DR it irritates me because it's unnecessary.
(Of course, I have a feeling there's at least one person here who does it *because* it irritates me)

It's a pretty big flaw in the game. People already pointed it out.
Some clarification would be nice, even if they just say it will be out in 2.1.

I also hope that if the PLD shield gets and upgrade that they don't forget the BLM shield.

Not really. Its been mostly rumours on our server, since everyone fucked themselves with chocobo levelling here.

OT - Got my allagan scepter, would love to know if theres at least going to be a shield we can use next update.

First off if you notice the Crystal Tower is the Labyrinth of the Ancients so maybe ancient shield is there. The item could just be in the database because it is in the game yet not obtainable maybe you could obtain it in Beta, but it was removed. And no one has it so no one knows how or when it can come out. Here is an example of an Item no one can get right now unless they have it from before http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/81aebdee4eb/ and yeah it's in the database. So maybe it's just not out yet. Or it is buried deep in the the game somewhere. Maybe its from some achievement reward or like i said , a Crystal Tower drop. They said it would be item level 80 armors but maybe 90 weapons since Allagan will drop 95.
