About 3.1 Relic

[Maero]

Yoshi-P has already confirmed that 2.0 relics will be completely replaced by new relics in 3.0.

Actually pretty sure it is said in 3.1 or 3.2, it will still be relevant come 3.0

And on topic true SE did not have to offer a "shortcut" which btw i don't think was even confirmed just speculation but they also did not have to nerf the questline either.
Some of us who did Relic before Pre Nerfs had taken over 4 months just for atmas alone, many many hours of fates, drop rates for dungeons were horrid (still are) so i can see how some can say "entitlement" but at the same time those calling those out most likely have only spend a fraction of the time for their relic. Some players took weeks, some months, etc.. The system was not at all balanced were as progression= Luck which i suppose was almost the same as those trying to get dreadwyrm weapons i guess. I think moreso it would just be a nice gesture should they gave those of us who suffered for relic, lol

Completely unrelated to the discussion, but Avast has flagged me that this picture or the site it's hosted on is infected. Might want to link a picture from a different site.

Ditto, I got the same alert.

I changed it.
Tell me please next time which picture, i avoided now to link on a gif.

AVAST is hyper active (sometimes) and tends to block whole webhosters...

As mentioned before the only giant "head start" ppl will get is probs having an i135 wep at the start of 3.0.
Cuz it seems pretty likely tht once u reach level 60, u'll be able to start the new relic quest etc.
But by then im almost certain that the zeta will be in ur inventory collecting dust/ used for glamour.
If a zeta less player obtains a 3.0 relic before zeta users than wouldn't tht make the headstart even more lol wtf?
Ppl r doing so much hopeful wishing based on wat yoshi said but... We got housing, ct raids etc and ofc not everyone will be happy. Might be the majority or minority with pitch forks this time we dunno.

Well regardless on whether or not Zetas will be thrown in the trash bin, how will the new relics fare in comparison? With Zetas having customized stats, I am pretty worried that the new relics will have garbage stat allocations that we can't control or will somehow be weaker than a Zeta in general.

Customizable stats allocation = if you want the best weapon, sell your soul to lord satan for materias IVs.


possible SE reply:

You've done that? Oh gee too bad, relic is going in the trash bin now.

Crying? Hella i don't give a damn. Yall buying heavensward or naw? we've got like dragon gals n stuff.

I have a feeling that the base item level will be high enough to be an upgrade regardless of the secondaries. Warriors will will be forced to use a Parry/Acc weapon again, and Summoners will have to use more of that sweet, sweet Spell Speed.

Which is fine for SMN in HW because Spell Speed will finally affect the potency of our DoTs. Bring on the Spell Speed!

I just could not be bothered to move past Novus on scholar because of what is happening and has happened. The relic is just busy work that might create a belittlement of the time and virtual money put into them, come expansion. I am glad Yoshi is keeping the newer players in mind - that's awesome. The rest of us that have gone through the relic pre-3.0 need to also keep that in mind from here on out.

I finished my zeta months ago. I got way more out of it than a slight boost for the next weapon. I disagree with the op entirely.
