Dev Blog: Hard mode dungeons and equipment drop

[Jahaudant]

Yes, more re-skins! Just want I wanted for Christmas. How on earth did you know SE?

I don't mind the reskinned armour, but do casters have to get a cowl?

[Ran1880]

gear all looks plain, tank gear is boring as hell...

2nd thing I noticed. Do we have an emote that resembles how they are posed? Arms crossed and all. Because I kinda want that.

I wish they would include it, under /displeased (atourgearsogiveusbettergeardamnit!)

New content.... everyone whines about what ilv60 gear looks like.

GG forums, cry some more.

That gear literally screams 'Final Fantasy', good job
/sarcasm off
SE never ceases to underwhelm me...

Drops ilvl is 60 if you followed the last live letter.

Are you serious? Do the devs of this game just not understand how to design an mmorpg?

I get the whole challenge aspect and people would run them for challenge (not a lot, kind of like wow challenge dungeons - just vanity items and no gear to make you more powerful)... However, with it being harder (at least I assume they'll be hard) they really should have upped the gear drop from these places. With CT coming out which is lvl 80 gear drops, this should have been one of those stepping stones that 70 gear thus giving you another way to obtain lvl 70 gear giving you the option of either buying it with tokens or running dungeons hoping for a drop. With their set up, people are going to continue to run ak/wp because those can be knocked out in 15-25 mins and these will probably take 30-40 mins but the gear is the same. This is a poor design on their part. First it was releasing a dungeon that drops IL 90 gear before the level 80 gear and now this. I hope in the future they do it the other way around.

That's some ugly looking gear.

It's a good thing I don't need any of it. The dungeons might be nice for tomes, but any gear that drops is getting sold to my Grand Company for seals.

Umm...stop assuming things. That's exactly what they're doing - Pharos Sirius and the two hard mode dungeons give tomestones. Whether they're the same amount is unknown, they still will drop tomestones.

Also, same ilvl gear does not mean same stats.

Compare crafted ilvl70 gear to darklight ilvl70 gear. Compare militia body pieces to AF body (both ilvl 55).

Who's to say they will be perfectly the same? Not everyone is up to coils farming stage yet. We're the minority. SE can't just cater to us.
