LOL@ Yoshi P's response to why Coil raiders should do Crystal Tower

[TofuPenguin]

I'm all about cosmetics in every game I play. This game is no exception. So if CT has nice skins, I'll run it, even if I don't care for it (or need it). Might be fun to play an alt class for CT and get it gear that way. What bugs me, however, is there's no use for the skins for several more months (if what people say on this thread is true. I didn't read the patch notes completely yet.) Running out of armory/inventory/retainer slots as is. Maybe implement a 'skins only' inventory? As it stands, I dread doing anything that has me collecting vanity gear at the moment because I have no room for it.

"You’ll be able to obtain equipment that can then be used with the “vanity” (name TBD) system that we will be implementing later, and you can also obtain equipment for your alternate classes and jobs."

So we should do it for a feature that isn't even implemented yet. And for jobs we aren't playing.

Yay!!!!!

Let's see what else...Extreme Primals that drop ilvl 90 weapons which we already have. Or hard-mode dungeons that give the same ilvl gear and tokens as a faster/easier Wanderer's Palace run.

Is there any point to do any of the content in 2.1, other than for a vanity system that won't be implemented until the next patch? Wtf are we even supposed to do after we transmog our characters?

Oh I don't know, see what happens next in the story? See why we should go to Crystal Tower? What is there to find, why should we be there? Why would it have FFIII Bosses and how are they linked to the story? Why is haukke manner in hard mode? whats the story with that?

Yeah when I read that I face palmed. They're goin backwards lol.

Yes and no. Crystal Tower was to be released before coil, but coil was finished first. they released coil before tower. That is all. Coil was released ahead of Tower, the rest of the lifespam of the game, you know the next 5-10 years will not be backwards. They already stated this several times. They stated this on release pretty much, hence the gap from DL to ilvl 90 allagan.

The reason Yoshi gave that response is because people asked why would people who only care about gear do CT, and if you care about gear only then vanity is your answer.

[omniwaink]

Bumping this for the hilarity that we can get 1 item a week from the instance now. So much for using it to gear alts and get vanity gear huh?

Now even casuals can experience what it's like to run one piece of content and having nothing else to do the rest of the week! And just so you know, one piece of ilvl 80 gear a week isn't going to help you finish Coil either, especially when you can get an ilvl 90 item every other week.

100% waste of development time.

Dat 5 week grind for vanity. For one job. GG.

You all think you have great ideas for Pokemon games, but if I actually listened to all of you and we combined all of your ideas into a game, it would be an unplayable monstrous game. You want a game with all the regions, but only the first generation Pokemons, yet all the legendary ones and such silly things. Whenever I receive one of these rants, I go to the development floor and read it out loud to all the Game Freak employees in a mocking voice, and we all laugh at you.

This isn't a SE developer, but this a quote from a game developer. Run this through your head as rant and rave about how you think this game should be run.

[Shirai]

So you have geared all of your jobs in i90.
Well done!

Blah blah blah. The thing is, Pokemon has a very specific formula - MMORPGs usually die when they pull stuff like this constantly these days. The "MMO formula" has changed drastically and of course people don't know what they want but....

Run this through your head as rant and rave about how you think this game should be run.

Despite the fact players may act like "arm chair developers" not one person has ever suggested: "Hey, for x content make it so I can only lot on items once a week or heck even once a month, it's the perfect content!"

Run that through your head.

[SpookyGhost]

That quote is fake, btw. :V

[Lunavi]

Of course I'm thinking about the content. The gear is relevant to that--because if the new dungeons have a recommended gearing level of AF and the Crystal Tower has a recommended gear level of 55... these dungeons cannot possibly be difficult and anyone who is wearing Relic+1/AF2/Allagan or even Primal+Darklight is going to blast through them without a shred of a challenge.

The content is completely, totally, absolutely wholly irrelevant if it's not challenging.

Titan will be recommended iLvl 60 I have heard... They are very generous when they say what iLvl they recommend.

Yeh I do agree. Its a good thing these people don't make games for us. I'd have invested in a new saltwater tank instead.
