Patch 3.38 Discussion

[Bixillarla]

Things are now how they should have been from the start aside the weekly limitation of the midan gears. That is, it should have been 4 weeks instead of 7 right from the start.But now its too late, this is the problem with the game, making more accesible irrelevant content is not a good thing, they need to make more accesible relevant content. If these were have been the conditions for the relics right off the bat, all those quest and progress would be repeated and live much longer, be much more active, since with ease of access also comes replayability. People would repeat the quests several times if they were just half as long, making content to be relevant and alive for much longer.

Why is it too late? With the addition of being able to upgrade the lore weapon to 240 it is timed just right to uncap the Midan Gear so people can get all the gears they need to get the weapon without waiting for 7 weeks. It still take little over 2 weeks to get it as the 1000 lore cost is still there.

These i240 weapons will become obsolete in 6-7 weeks with the release of 3.4. (My speculation though but it should be somewhere around that time frame.)

I agree, though. If these quests for relics weren't so damned grindy, I'd do them multiple times. The way it is now should have been how it was in the very beginning. I see no reason why we can't go back to the way 2.0 handled the relic weapons quests. (You know, the ones that made you do Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan HM when the highest item level was 90/95 and most people probably had Darklight gear at i70.)

And I actually don't understand this. Why being able to get infinite number of Midan Gears if we still have to wait ~2.2 weeks for a weapon? 3.4 will be here and I will still have Midan Gears to use. Imho, they should have reduced to price of the lore token from 100 to 45 lors. Thus, 1 weapon a week would have been possible.
