Lack of End Game Content

[Avraym]

You directly contradicted yourself, and now you are trying to backpedal and change your argument. What deterred people from doing Ultimate compared to Neo-Exdeath is that Ultimate is significantly harder and players cannot do it. Increased stats on the weapons would not encourage more players to try Ultimate or push to complete it. It’s difficult to the point that most actually cannot do it, and that is the entire purpose of the content.

I don’t think you actually understand the design of Ultimate. You just think it’s another avenue for big boi strong gear, but that was never its intention. Its intention was to give the hardcore raiders a challenge because they were dissatisfied with the way Savage was getting progressively easier since Midas.

I dont think I'm contradicting or back peddling at all. I even said that less players will also be inclined to do ultimate due to its difficulty alone.

But lets be real. A lot of players going into Ultimate Coil, would've had O4S weapons (or better).

What do you think their attitudes will be when they wipe over and over when they already have a reward of equal measure months ago.

I guarantee you, a lot players gave up, because the reward just wasn't worth the effort outside of bragging rights.

If ultimates are purely for bragging rights, it stands to reason why so few would strive to complete it - which is only reinforced by the statistics the dev's released.
