Anima is going to burn people out.

[Aniond]

I disagree. They said from the very start. That it is going to take a long time to complete. Honestly, getting the 200 anima was easy. Took about a week to get the crystal and 3 days to do all 9 dungeons. I expect alot a work for 210 considering that is equal to the top tier raid weapon.

they said to the very start that will be long,
there is long and long. this 210 step is as long or even more than the old novus step.
even if they said to the very start that will be long.
Long step don't get to burn people out ?
At least SE don't lie when they say it's long, it's long.
I guess any long grind can get burn people out, even if SE said it will be long , it don't change this fact...
so what do you disgagree ?

i like grinding

my only problem is that we get more tomestones in the expert dungeons from 3.0. we have done this dungeons for MONTH to get the ilvl 200 gear. and now there are new dungeons - but we still have to grind the old ones? D:

all the dungeons should give the same amount of tomestones, more variety, more better. while animus and novus in 2.2 we had 6 dungeons which gave the same amount of stones plus the first CT wich gave more stones but took also longer to complete, but it was on par. that was a big variety and was making the grind fun.

I'm already taking a break. If the content had atleast some form of challenge maybe I could stomach it.

But it's either so boringly easy I can do it while talking to someone else and playing chess on the side.

Or it's too hard for the base that getting a static that works is really hard.

Just because they said it was long doesn't mean people won't get burned out by its length. In addition, it was long and released late, which affects the viability and worth of the weapon.

I got yesterday the Anima Weapon ilevel 170. It took me about 6 hours to get all the crystals. The staff looks great! I'll do the next step. Doing 10 dungeons, it's very not a big deal to get a weapon ilevel 200. But I'll not do the step 3. I just finished the MSQ, so for me, the two first steps of the Anima Relic are a easy way to get a ilevel 200 weapon.

The first two steps are only easy because they are "catch up" steps. Those steps should have been released months ago.

OT: yes they made the grind way too big for releasing it this late. And grinds burn people out.

Also it is just another thing that contradicts the whole "Alt friendly" thing they promote.

this game is alt friendly because except the hardest raid and ex primal the content is designed for an ilvl you can reach without any weekly lockouts - one of the reasons we can't have any challenging content because we outgear the content before it is even released... _._

and did they really promote this game is alt fiendly? you can switch your class without making a whole new character, yes - but that does not mean you should play all classes at once

yoshi state about the anima, it's long because it's the same ilvel as 210 raid weapon,
but yeah if it's not a lie, it's still so long and this make players to burn out.
He stated also it got released this late because players would chosse to keep eso to have a 200 relic weapon also. i think it's not a problem for player to get this choice.
Because at the end if we choose to doing the relic quest, we can say we wasted tomes on weapon we don't need anymore.
We got this choice before, why no get it anymore ?
if this relic quest would follow the old relic quest : it would be like this :
3.05 two first relic quest step : first step to get the relic to ilevel 200.
second step to get the relic to ilevel 205.
3.15 final step to get the relic to ilvel 210.
The grind would be as long but divided in 3 step between 5 months.
Not all the hugh grind in a raw : this late quest is what burn people out.
Also he say it's this long because it's hard to get 210 weapon by raid, few players have it because it's hard to get this reward,
he say finaly the savage is too hard.
i think be able to have a 210 weapon not so hardly would fixe a little bit, players with 210 weapon would get more chance to reach the dps check. but finaly it would broke the fact the reward to do A4S is to get the 210 weapon.

I already took a break lol doing my rouletts and beast tribe quest became a chore and left no room to do anything else with my work schedule so I do the grind extremely slowly like barely 3 items a week XD my intrest just keeps dropping when i start back grinding
