How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

[Zantetsuken]

Do I want new content every 3 months?

Um... YES!

Sheesh, people will complain about anything/everything on these forums.

IIRC, didn't FFXI have new content every 3 months via update?

What on earth is the issue here?

And people still misinterpret the question. Has nothing to do with getting content every 3 months. It's about the gear from that content rendering the gear that came before it obsolete.

They can release content every 3 months, and make the gear that comes from it comparable to the gear we already have, situational if you will. Leave the phasing out of gear for level cap raises.

Which is what Yoshi was saying, and Azury used that as inspiration for a fearmongering "question".

Why else would Azury raise a question like this, since nobody on the development team has even suggested it?

Actually, YP never commented on gear stats at all, just that the gear will become easier to obtain 3 months after its release.

Also, I think Azury's question came from not only Yoshi's post, but also another topic similar to this which got closed yesterday.

I can see how YP's post could bring up the idea of gear being phased out each patch, even if it wasn't what he was saying. It's still a legitimate question, regardless of why it was asked.

You think just because the point hasn't been told to us directly that the thought isn't going through the dev teams mind right now?

It's not hard to imagine that they want to emulate WoW as much as they can givin comment from Yoshi like.

(We want it to be familliar like other large MMO's) (We want to stea....players from other MMOs...oops)

So emulating their update style and type of gameplay offerings obviously isn't off the table for the development team, I do hope they avoid this trap that many other MMO's have fallen into by trying to emulate WoW too much. People who want WoW...suprisingly enough play WoW.

For the few desenters saing "Go back to FFXI if you want gear that lasts!" it's hard to do that because the game as it stands doesn't really allow that type of play anymore either. Abysea changed the game in many ways.

I'm sorry, I had no idea you had the ability to read the minds of the developers. Tell me, what did Yoshi-P eat for lunch today?

Nothing, he was too busy working on XIV to eat.

OMG IT'S TRUE

People aren't misinterpreting the question. The question was posed as if it were fact. Clearly the OP read Yoshi's post about gear, and created this topic. It's misinformation.

The people, like me, who are "misinterpreting" are expressing the fact that nowhere in Yoshi's post did he say gear will become useless or replaced with each update.

However, in 3 months time, a solid strategy will be formulated and the difficulty level of the battle content will be adjusted too, allowing players “who cannot put their entire life into gaming” to eventually obtain the shining rod. On the other hand, the next battle content will arrive by that time and hardcore players will be able to continue challenging themselves.

How else would the OP come up with the 3 month time frame and the idea of items become useless, unless he/she didn't understand what Yoshi said?

A combination of YP's post and this thread:

Yea, I'm camping this thread because I'm trying to make BSM SP go by faster, ran out of content long ago lol. Ironic.
