Soo... apparently Diadem has i280 weapons with higher WD than alexandrian/anima lux

[Radacci]

Jeez 280?? So anima is a waste in the end of the patch then.

that's how it's always been, and why i stopped bothering with it. just doing it passively while doing daily roulettes and stuff.

Nothing wrong with this, I mean 4.0 is going to make everything here useless anyway so might as well throw out some good gear so people can have some fun.

diadem was the epitome of boredom, so i doubt this new version will be "fun"

[Altena]

I am no joke, completely stunned...

I don't even know what to say about this...

I expected i270 if I am honest. Would have been fine with that..
If it was i275? Sure no worries. Not too big a deal to make it equal in iLvl to anima / savage weapons..
But actually HIGHER than both anima and savage? I mean...

What on earth were they thinking?

[Ran1880]

This has to be a bad joke ...Handing out 275 Anima,adding the horrendous Ultima weekly quest recently are quite not enough, now there is 280 candy for all ...this is ridiculous,let's be honest here the standard is pretty low atm and no this is not an excuse to implement more cheap content pre SB and therefore resulting in the objectiv/subjectiv critism,not surprising.

If SE does not have anything productive to give to us anymore than simply keep it like hat before the expansion and don't give us more trash like this.It is just a punch in the face for both the casual/raiding community.GG,SE you just officially dig yourself a grave.

First removing PvP chat and now this.... Please stop SE, you're drunk...

[Frowny]

Ok, that's it. I think I'm finally done.

Agreed. I was grinding relic as the A12S spear is trash (DET/SS? Yuk) but SE went and gave us the middle finger. I get gear becomes obsolete, but this is just insane. I'd compare it to getting a Galaxy S3 on launch and Samsung suddenly dropping the S4 a week later with no warning.

I feel this is due to the imaginary "skill gap" Yoshi harps on. STOP IT. Even the worse players with the best gear won't know their head from their rear. Instead of doubling the training wheels, encourage.... improving? Revolutionary I know.

Some streamers were doing deadem and the weapons are really rare. The guy streaming said 1 out of 72 people that were in the emergency mission got a weapon. So they will be really rare for the most part.

Grind it enough and RNG becomes a non-issue, ala 2.0 atmas.

That just makes it worse TBH. No skill to spawn the event, no skill in getting the weps. Just 4 layers of RNG wrapped up in a big ugly FATE box. It's breathtakingly bad.

I don't get why people are so upset. Creator is done and you're not getting another tier for ten levels and possibly 40 - 50 item levels higher than even these weapons. Stormblood is retooling every job and changing many stats if not outright removing them, and people are upset about extremely broken gear being introduced before all these changes that will fundamentally alter how many things are played?

I don't get it, I seriously don't. What is the problem? Why is this an issue?
Those who've done savage are done, if they're doing speedruns they can keep doing them, but they don't need this gear.

People are just losing their minds over something because it is similar to 2015, when the state of the game couldn't be more different in they tried. Please, take a step back and realize that maybe, just maybe they wanted to let everyone break the game and have a bit of fun with the remnants of 3.X before 4.0 comes out and they bring us all back down to a comparable power level?

What on earth were they thinking?

That they did not want to waste dev time working on something players won't do ?
