[Interview] Zodiak weapons, Philo removal, 3.0 and more

[Daenerys_Sedai]

Actually this does bring up the question, does one need Relic+1 to make Zodiac? If so, with Myth being farmable, getting 900 myth shouldn't be a problem. But it would be swell if I could be lazy and just not do that and start the Zodiac questline, however that may be.

I think Yoshi said that we should be "dusting off the relic" weapon, so you may want to save up.

[CUTS3R]

Can't wait for deets on the Zodiak weapon quest. Hope they're not hyping it all up and then letting us down with an hour long Primal fight bonanza.

I would be all in for hour(s) long trial(s) fight as a part of the Zodiak quest, but only if it is hard enough to filter good and bad players.

Also:

Those who can't put much time into the game shouldn't get the best weapons.

^This so much.

[Alwryn]

Man, custom stat weights?


I am so hype.

No need to dust it, as I still use mine. I wasn't actually planning on using anything else (effectiveness be damned!).

I was just hoping I didn't need to save up for Zenith lol

[SummonerSenah]

So will we use myth now for the quenching oil and the new tomes to buy Thavnarian mist? I mean even if there is an upgrade to relics, you still have to start at the beginning if you don't already have it. Or will there be different steps in the relic reborn quests to reflect the loss of Philo?

[Asakura93]

You know, the way they describe Zodiak weapons is... It sounds like something terrible.
It sounds like "Dumb and meaningless grind that exclusively takes time but no hardship" and hte only reason most won't have it be 2.25 is simply because most can't put that much time in the game.

I have faith in Yoshida, which is why i'm not very concerned, but those are my fears anyway.

So.. Basically what the self-proclaimed "hardcores" have been asking for? Something that takes "time"? :P

[Xairos]

Im kinda concerned about custom stats. As much as I love the freedom, I fear that this will marginalize the community ever more so. "LFG Garuda Hyper. ilvl105. "x" Stat on PLD preferred." Kind of stuff.

Other than that , I cant wait to start the quest.

Kind of how in the Merit point system we had the freedom to pick what ever we wanted per jobs, but most players were simply urged to pick specific ones because they worked better overall.

[Versiroth]

If changing to the Zodiac weapon changes the look of the original relic, then I'm not going to like this at all. Some relics, like the Paladin's, I love too much to lose the current look entirely.

If we're able to change the stats, we should be able to toggle the appearance too.

You forgot about Glamours. Maybe they'll let you keep the current relic.

Then those "bad" players will just buy carries from organized FC's :l
