Cash shop and the situation with the game.

[Kuwagami]

Sliepnir just seems like a douche move, mostly because Odin (Trial) isn't really worth doing. It only exists for glamours. At the time all the primals were giving mounts, but Odin mount was locked up in a cash shop. I'm not that bent out of shape about Sliepnir overall, but it still comes across a greedy move. I'm baffled how anyone can have a different perspective.

Just wanting to say that while odin trial doesn't have much worthy reward from a gameplay perspective, it gives many insights and is really valuable from a lore perspective.

And iirc, odin wasn't the main primal of its patch either

You're a decade too late for that to be the drive to do something in an MMO. You must be dreaming of an age when "RPG" still meant "RP" and people actually cared about the fake world they chose to live in - not just see it as a means to get more carrots on more sticks. I agree with you. I dream of those days, too. I enjoy the Odin fight and its story (and its gear!) but you're hard pressed to find anyone doing Odin - even a few weeks after its release. Yet, thanks to Kirin (and other flying ponies) I still see people doing Garuda through Shiva to this very day, everyday.

oh yeah, those days are definitively over and lost. I just wanted to say that it was the point of this optional fight (or treated as such by the game).

Well, at least Ultima (the other optional primal at the time, even if thordan is coming with the same idea) had worthy gear so people kept going at it for a while. And still nowadays at it locks savage (yeah, some people still unlock savage even now).

Though I do hope to see what the Urth's gift quests will give in the future if they ever develop the story furthermore

Odin was the only primal of 2.5 meaning it is the main primal, but I guess you may have meant it wasn't a main part of the patch?.

I was sorta convinced that the trial of 2.5 was the chrysalis :/
I may be wrong though

unfortunately your argument while sound is falling on deaf ears of people who believe they are entitled because they pay a subscription.

Gotta love the people who defend the development team spending 5 minutes applying player models to Odin's mount and selling it on the cash shop for $30 (AUD, half the price of an AAA game).

Edit: Daily post limit.

you have proof of how long it took them to do this? no I don't think you do so stop trying to use that kind of garbaga to argue your point

Actually my bad, not even 5 minutes. I've just recalled that Odin scales to the player that lasted defeated him in the FATE, so no work was put it into it at all apparently. I mean, other than adding it to the cash shop.

Jokes on you because applying player models to Odin mount was already in the game - since Odin (FATE) takes on the appearance of the last player who killed him. That means Sliepnir was already designed to carry ANY race/gender before the game even launched. So they literally didn't even spend any time at all doing this.

*In my opinion* There's really only one major example of greed on the cash shop, and that's the wedding packages.

Try getting married in real life. You're getting off so easy! Plus, true love is worth it! And white chocobos!
