Skirmish (07/10/2012)

More weapons again... Why they don't make gear for once? Oh right gives more work ( every piece for all races while weapons would be only 7 and are universal). At least make them good or with interesting stats. About content, is always welcome.

While I personally don't have an issue with the weapons as rewards, objectively, it is kind of silly that we have so many options in one slot, while only having... what? Four sets of endgame armor per job (most of which is horribly out-dated)?

Well, as I said in my last post, I'm pretty sure I know why their doing it, and I don't really mind. It's something to do that looks quite fun, so I'm happy.

Think it's mostly because if one would take the time, effort and money to work on melded gear they'll have better alternative to raid sets, since the only true purpose for raid sets currently is the fact it has stats in slots materia can't cover (yet.)

Um... No.

Already confirmed the current Primal fights related to Umbral Era/GC will no longer exist as they do now in 2.0 They'll be open world and main use is to obtain as a summon for free-companies.

He just said at japan expo that ifrit extreme is staying because of relic prereq lol

Maybe this is the Yin to the Relic Weapons Yang. It seems to me that about 80% of the people who post on here regularly would align themselves in the "hardcore" crowd. For those of you with 7/7 ifrit, Garuda, and moogle weapons, congrats. For the other people who don't play as much and maybe only have 1 or 2 classes at level cap (such as myself), this could be a cool repeatable content way to get cool endgame weapons in a more casual friendly fashion.

Then again, it could turn out to be as much of a time sink as Relics, who knows until we get more details?

[Betelgeuzah]

They are preparing class-specific gear (18/19 sets!), race-specific starter gear (5 sets, 10 genders), new job AF's and adjusting current armor to fit the missing genders...

Sure sucks to have this many weapons as a reward but it's not like the armor-team doesn't have their hands full preparing for 2.0 as-is.

[Zantetsuken]

New belts for melee would be nice.

I've done enough penance.

...just sayin.

Also, if we can get seals out of this (pretty sure we can since its GC related), I'll be all over it!

more server congestion at the first patch day release . . .

Nah considering those who play MNK/DRG will be left out of content as usual, the congestion won't be that bad. It's all instanced anyway, SE doesn't want XIV to be an open world experience.

Then how exactly will people get relics? And they won't just take our weapons away, Which is what I was directing that towards.

[Drexel]

Seriously, more weapons... I would much rather have another patch with accessories and armor than another set of weapons, even if they are upgrades. I have already turned most of my moogle and Ifrit’s weapons into material due to no longer needing them.
