Patch 3.38 notes up

[Xlantaa]

Woooooooo at last! Now I can make the 7 weapons I miss (well, at least till 230 step). Thansk a lot \o/

I wish they would be more transparent with relic weapon update/nerf schedules. I got all my marketboard items recently cause it seemed like the nerf was very slow coming this time around. Millions of gil thrown away with a patch just around the corner. I'm angry but honestly I've learned my lesson. Not touching relics anymore untill the whole fking thing is nerfed.

We found out last week that changes were coming and I'm amazed they even told us that much.

They can't give us much more of a headsup because more people wouldn't bother at all and would just wait until changes had been made.

P.S. I traded in my 80 items and 16 HQ crafted items a day before we found out. Wish I had known earlier, but that's just how it is.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing an anima update/nerf schedule beforehand. Impatient people will still do it. Patient people will still wait. I literally had the gil for the longest time and have been "waiting" for this patch just to complete my first relic.

Doesn't matter though, like I said. I walked away from this learning my lesson.

Yeah Scott, I just helped an FC mate by crafting all 16 items for him, like a day before we found out about the nerf. Took me an hour or two... But now would take like 10 minutes, lol.

Oh wow this will make Relic easier

Oh and the items from GC are HQ?
If NQ would make no sense i suppose but sure will cut into profit of the crafters out there

It's been 8 months since 3.15, at which point should they have told us "oh btw we're going to change this step on X date" ?

They already get people complaining there's nothing to do (or rather nothing those people *want* to do...) they're sure as heck not going to give people even more persuasion not to do something (because if you wait 3/4 of a year it'll be a lot easier, that's bound to tempt some people as it's a guarantee instead of a guess)

[Mycow8me]

They should have an update/nerf schedule on the release of the first step. People having nothing to "do" is completely irrelevant. Hiding a nerf step till a week beforehand is nothing short of antagonizing people who were being patient but wanting to be able to do relevant content. They can weigh up their options and pick a choice that is right for them instead of being in the dark. I would have gotten the gears weapon had I known this patch would have been this far out and spent all my gil on relevant crafting class upgrades. Rightly so it is guaranteed, that is the point of a "schedule".

I should have known about that 2 years ago, would have been better with my special snowflake schedule. How dare you SE not releasing that schedule before you even implemented the items itself.

Well that is your opinion and I'll respect that even though I disagree because I just don't think we need to know that information that far in advance. Relics are always long term quests in their initial form and anyone doing one in full should know that by now and be prepared for it.
