The relic weapon quest is OBSCENELY boring...

[Kosmos992k]

It is the most grindy, tedious, monotonous, bland thing I have seen in any MMO I have ever played, and I've played Lineage 1.

It's one thing to do a lot of stuff that's either fun or at LEAST challenging.

It's entirely another to give us a checklist of random, boring, unchallenging crap and tell us to hop to it...

Perhaps you missed the memo that pointed out that this is one of three paths to upgrade your weapon, and was/is designed to be a long grind - to represent the long path towards upgrading such a special weapon as the relic. It's also designed for players who do not raid, so that they can upgrade their relics simply by playing the game over time, rather than by engaging in specific end-game content such as the Coils, or EX mode primals.

If it's such a boring grind, don't do it, and instead go for one of the other options.

Perhaps you didn't read the remainder of the thread.

Alternative options don't excuse this option for being bland, uninspired and clearly done better in other MMOs.

Your opinion not withstanding, it was my understanding that the relic quests were designed to be a time sink and grind. The fact that there are multiple options available means that it's not necessary for all options to be appealing to all players. As for being bland, uninspired and/or clearly better done, those are quite subjective assessments and not facts.

those are quite subjective assessments and not facts.

So are the opinions of people who have rabidly apologized for the horrible implementation of the questline.

I realize there is a breed of person that revels in boredom. I'm not one of those people. For an MMO that does nearly everything else better than WoW, it surprised me that the relic questline was such utter shit in comparison to WoW's.

So you enjoy boredom. Good for you. I'd say your opinion is noted, but I don't care about your opinion. No one is going to say "BUT I LIKE BOREDOM!" and make me say, "Gee, maybe I should start liking it, too...".

The relic questline could've been an epic, fun, amazingly-storied section of the game. Instead, it's a weak attempt to force max level players to supplement old content.

If you disagree, that's fine, but don't expect me or the 65+ players who liked the OP to care.

No, you're one of those people who shouts and screams, using all caps for emphasis, in an attempt to impose your opinion as fact - or at least that is how it appears based on your behavior right here and now. Perhaps you could/should open your mind to the possibility that others do not share your view.

Have you see Garuda HM lately? It is no different from running fates, they all just burn Garuda with AOE spams and ignore everything else.

So true, it's become a zerg-fest if you have OP DPS, to be honest it's actually extremely disappointing not to have to deal with the mechanics of the fight in the least.

1. Did you manage to miss the part where I explicitly said that this is all opinion on both sides?

2. I'm perfectly aware that others don't share my view, but the OP has been liked by 65+ people who DO.

Let me put this another way, can you HONESTLY not see any room for improvement in the current relic questline?

There is NO DISLIKE BUTTON so how many didn't like the OP's post?
