Guess that Relic Weapon!

[Alberel]

Who said the new Jobs won't have a Relic Quest?

Unless you work for SE directly and have access to all data before anyone no one knows for certain what will happen.

Also this post is for fun since I am assuming the new Jobs will have their own Relics since the Trailer did show their Iconic weapons which could be their Relic Weapons.

So why so Serious?

I didn't say I know anything, I said it's not likely. Unless you work for SE you don't know what those weapons in the trailers were either so that useless argument can work both ways...

Expansions usually attract a lot of new players. As a result it would be incredibly poor game design to have an ongoing quest from before the expansion be a requirement to obtain and progress relic weapons going forwards. I know a lot of you are in love with your weapons and all the time and effort you've poured into them but it's just not realistic from a design standpoint for them to continue to upgrade through multiple expansions. A new player joining after 3.0 would have to waste weeks doing old content that no one is interested in any more to get their relic just so they can upgrade it to deal with level 60 content... you see the problem? It would put any new players off completely, and SE wouldn't want that.

I do think there will be a relic equivalent in the expansion (possibly those weapons in the trailers), but it will be a new quest, not an extension of the current one. I wasn't trying to suggest the thread was pointless or anything, just that I don't think those new weapons will be relics but rather something else. I actually quite like the idea of Cerberus for Machinist. Astrologian is going to be difficult to predict anything for though because it's an entirely new weapon type to the series as far as I'm aware.
