[DEV ???] Primal weapons need to go to pool. 100 battles 0 weapons (100% Totem/Nut)

[Black_Rose]

yes, the poor drop rates make those filler battles even worse.
it's not enough that those fights don't offer any entertainment at all (c'mon, you gotta agree that they're worse then even the BCNM/KSNM we had in FFXI), they also make you spend days to weeks untill you finally got everything and in exchange will never enter that battlefield again.

and on top of the everest of crap, the moment you get everything from those battles you never wanna do them again, knowing how boring they are, slowly making it harder for others that still try to achieve their goal of getting all weapons finding a group of 8 players, which is already a hard task for anyone that isn't in an active linkshell.

it's sad, but all i see current content as is fillers/extreme time-sinks untill 2.0
230+ times of entering the ifrit battlefield, 174 of those were wins that it took me to get all weapons, 12+ out of those were duplicates.

i really hope for the 2 dungeons that'll come with 1.21 to be enjoying.so you wanna do them over and over again, not just for the loot.
i can't go on playing this game for another 8-9 months untill 2.0 arrives if content will just be made around its loot.
sad thruth is, after the way they introduced the ifrit battle, i was hoping for something more for good king moggle mog battle, but sadly they just made an ifrit version 2 out of it, instead of a full dungeon leading to the moggle.
and i'm already losing hope for a better introduction of the garuda battle or any other primal till 2.0

i know they're busy developing 2.0 and working on the current FFXIV, but cmon, we're going to pay for this in a few days, atleast try to entertain us :/
blizzard can come up with a freaking dungeon, so i expect atleast 10 time better ideas from u SE!

Uh, the low drop rate is a big reason why people are quitting the game. Your point?

Agreed. It gets old after doing ifrit for 8 hours+ each day and seeing nothing. :/ The fight has long since lost its novelty. I don't even have to pay attention when I do it anymore. Feel like I've done it enough to be done with it really lol.

[Kailea_Nagisa]

makes me glad I don't really care for these weapons..... the Ifrit ones look nice, but these.... good lord they look bad

All they are, are normal weapons with moogle dolls slapped on them.

[Babydoll]

Yeah really lol...I have no motivation to do the Moogle Battle...the weapons look tacky as hell.

[Brannigan]

They'll improve the drop rate when you can answer the question of what you'll do after you get everything you want (other than not play anymore, that is).

Quoting this just so everyone can look at this horrible post again. Happy New Year!

I went 5/44 on Moogle weapons as of 2 days ago, really have 0 incentive to go back for the 2 weapons/16(36) other nut charms I need.

Truely bored out of my skull every second I'm online with 5 days left to decide if I want to subscribe or not.

Not to drag another lawffxi idea in here but, I know FFXI had bad drop rates on some items, but it didn't change the fact that useful gear still did drop often. Giving you a sense of either surprise or accomplishment.

i.e Kirin Osode no drop? Get 2 w.legs instead.
i.e Ridill no drop? Get Adaburk instead.

I only noticed this after relooking at a bajillion screenshots of hundreds of NMs (because the game has thousands).

[Risx]

Well I can say for me, that I don't plan on doing Moogle because of how bad of an experience I had with Ifrit. All Moogle is is Ifrit v2 with less impressive weapons. I cannot bring myself to run 300+ wins to be 6/7 when everyone else gets it in 150.


Edit:

Also I'm thinking ahead and there's going to be a total of 5 primals, it means a total of 35 weapons and realistically if AF weapons dont replace them you'll have about -35 Inv. space. And 5 primal weapons used, maybe.

[KamikazeMan]

I don't care if this is the 1.000.000th thread on this subject this really needs to change.


Yes we do. SE must not have read the other threads so maybe this thread will get attention.

If you fight Ifrit and win you should be able to get SOMETHING out of it. At least if you beat him within a certain time limit....maybe within 10 minutes guarantees a weapon for all members, 20 mins guarantees a totem for all members. After that everybody has a 50% chance of getting a Totem.

[Zeref]

Hell at least you guys are doing it, I've been on ifrit twice, nobody wants to even party on primals any more unless you're max level with top tier materia'd gear and all/most jobs at 50 to mix and match skills from every job under the sun.

Lol'd at your luck.
