Relic Weapons-Broken Promises

[Giit]

Relic is not for everyone.

<--it's not for the guy in this pic. luck =/= skill or fun. if I got a new car with the relic, I'd still think twice about doing it.

but hey, bash your heads in. it's a kickass weapon, and worth the effort if you have absolutely no reason to do anything else but play this game

do you have any idea how useless that statement was?

Everyone that is going after relic has no life apparently and should not reproduce.

do you have any idea how useless that statement was?

almost as useless as yours? ^^

Wait, wait, wait ...

What? They are not the 'real' relics *blinks* ... pretty please post the source as I'd love to read it. As far as I knew these relics are going to be upgrade able.

Overall I feel that there is an obvious advantage to some weapons concerning their materia needs. It was bad planning to have requirements that have a vast % difference.

Supposedly for it to be a real relic it has to be like an XI relic, you know, even if SE already labeled them as relics and said that they will be up-gradable.

i think the double meld part isn't the bad part about relics, what's worse is the fact that some relics use materia that pops out of every second spiritbond equipment (mind) while there are some others like enmity that seems to be alot more rare (i didn't check the price lately, but last time i saw it sold for 1,5 mil+ a pop)

that's the only part i would change about relics.i guess, while being on the relic quest it would be better to be able to buy special weapons/equip for seals that require more work to spiritbond them, but give special materia when being destroyed that will be used for the relic weapons.

this way atleast people with less gil won't feel like they're being cheated on by being those that have billions of gil and everyone has to put equal work into their relic, while still being under a portion of luck to actually get the dual meld to work.

it's just my way of how i see things.i don't actually think that those with less gil are at a disadvantage, as you can simply farm/spiritbond everything with a bit time and patience, but i think it's unfair to have relics require different materia, so it would be more fun to get rare/unique materia that will stay the same for every weapons, but will then again require you to work for, and not just be bought from the wards.

Asian MMOs always do horrible systems like these. Ragnarok Online did it, Aion did it, FFXIV does it, TERA did it as well.

Edit: And they're all dead, F2P or ancient.

I don't like that part of the quest but I don't complain about it. I just won't do it until 2.0
There's plenty of other shit to do other than relics.

I disagree, it's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.

Actually he makes a point, not to mention most players who say they have the money did it using bots or buying gil originally. but im not here to call people out. what is annoying is that people are now raising the prices on certain double melds and its slightly unfair to do that. they should make the double melds a better success rate. Besides SE made it clear that they would make it on FF14 easier to obtain relics. And honestly it does not seem easier just cheaper. The steps are annoying as hell.

Also it seems retarded the mnks double meld is 13mil brds is 35mil + and DRG is 45MIL + ...very unbalanced
