Yoshida-san: Please Give Us a BETTER System for Relics and Future 2.0 Challenges!

[Eard]

just look at all these suggestions..... now i just hope Yoshi-P doesn't suddenly give us "item levels" and daily rep quests. along with the suggestions given by the people here, FF14 will be just another WoW and the metagame for grouping will be for those with relic weapons only, anyone without a relic or x3 meld items will NEVER get a group.


they already stated that relics are long-term goal/achievements. read: LONG-TERM! its not something to be done in a week!

I think your missing the point, at least the point of the OP...

No ones asking for something easy

No ones asking for the relic to be handed to them

What they are asking for is for the game to not capitalize on mundane systems (pRNG in every thing that has to do with end game) that will deter 90% of the people who aren't currently playing for the game. Instead, create a system that is harder, locks you out, or overall has a measurable goal that you can steadily make progress to. With the current system, to me, it looks like blatant luck all the way around. Relics to me were never meant to be a symbol of luck, in XI, or any other game that has a similar mechanic with relic-esque weapons, it was a symbol of dedication to a goal that seemed nearly impossible. With this system I know that I can either get it really early, somewhere in between, or really late and that all depends on luck, that's completely different.

Give me story worth doing, give me hard goals that make me actually want to play the game, give me content that rewards me if I put in time. Not content that makes me love the game for a day, then hate it the next.
