Question for the people who don't dislike the 2nd relic step

[DiaDeem]

If you've played during 2.0 you'd know that there was no indication on the Zodiac Weapon Saga being a thing. The quest was carried over from 1.0, and trimmed down significantly on its objectives. The journal entry for "A Relic Reborn" even specifies that it's the final stage of the restoration process. Not to mention that the journal doesn't even list these quests under the Zodiac Weapons tab. The addition of using the Thavnairian Mists was specifically added to +1 the relic (it literally added a +1 to the name), so it could match iLvl from the other gear purchased with Tomestones of Mythology.

There you go, short steps aren't necessarily bad. I'm glad you understood at least one of my points.

You're also still completely focused on the word "better", rather than the entire statement.

Again... my statement was about length specifically, not quality. Sad to see this one didn't get through you, no matter how much I tried to explain it.

"There will be long steps ahead, don't you worry about that."
It doesn't take any mental gymnastics to tell that this boils down to "Just wait until the next patch."

I literally said I'd eat my words if that doesn't happen. What else do you want? Sad to see you missed that one as well.

I fail to see where I have pretended that this step is "THE WORST RELIC QUEST STEP"

Are you even reading me anymore? I literally said in my last response that I didn't think you were that.

I'm done trying to get through you. I explained my thoughts, conceded some stuff, but I don't think you're even paying attention to what I've been saying, seeing particularly how you didn't even seem to care or notice what I said about you not being an alarmist or that I literally don't mind finding out I was wrong if no lengthy stuff comes later.

I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish here. To point out that you're worried? You're right, we've never had the same step repeated before, so of course you're entitled to be worried. I also just mentioned that was valid position in my last post, but again: You're either not actually reading what I say, or you're just choosing to ignore on purpose, so what's the point.

As for what I was trying to accomplish, the same thing I've been saying from the begining: This was only my answer to OP. I don't mind this step because even if it's not great, there's been much worse in the past.

I'm out.

It amuses me that all you got out of that part of my post is "short steps aren't necessarily bad".

This begs the question why you even bothered adding that entire sentence to your post to begin with. It doesn't appear to apply to anyone you've been replying to.

Again... my statement was about length specifically, not quality. Sad to see this one didn't get through you, no matter how much I tried to explain it.

The last part of your post kinda blends in with the other parts of it. So I combined it into a single quote to more easily reply to it.
The point I was trying to get across is that "just wait for the next patch" is a rather empty statement. Unfortunately, you chose to tunnelvision on the word "better".

And no, I didn't miss the part about you being prepared to eat your own words. But I'm also someone who doesn't see any merit in someone eating their words when the statement is relatively empty to begin with.

As for what I was trying to accomplish, the same thing I've been saying from the begining: This was only my answer to OP. I don't mind this step because even if it's not great, there's been much worse in the past.

Kinda weird to accept a step for the simple fact that it could've been worse. It's like accepting a glass of milk that's been out in the sun, simply because it's not spoilt.

My point being that we've had short steps, and that's fine. But we haven't had two lazily done short steps in a row, with a 4 month waiting period in-between. At that point, it starts becoming a worrying trend. One that I hope doesn't extend to patch 6.45.

I'm out.

See ya.
