[Suggestion] Trial of the Magians

[Delsus]

*snip*

You honestly don't get it, people hated TotM, it's not because it's FFXI it's because people don't want to be forced to kill 2000 crabs for a small upgrade, then Impulse Drive 5000 times and finally for the meaningful upgrade hit 5000 Chaos Thrust combos, that is not hard work it's just tedium. The only way FFXI managed to get people to do these is because they had to for decent gear, if they added more drops to Limbus for example that were equal to TotM gear, even with a low drop rate people would have gone with that over TotM any day.

Trial Moogle: Sure, I'll upgrade your weapon for you! Just bring me 1500 Heavy Metal Plates!
Me: *Slugs moogle IN THE FACE.*

*sigh* If only that was really an option...

Yes please i really never liked to ws stuff but at least myself grow bored of the game and i need something to do besides myth stuff coils and primals lol

The premature bias is amazing, no one's even looking at my post or noticing that I mentioned it would have to be "tweaked to fit FFXIV and its playerbase"

That has already been done as many people have pointed out. It's really just saying that it isn't like FFXI enough, and many people consider that a plus.

I don't know about everyone else, but I like to get my rewards after hard work, so I can feel like I accomplished something worthwhile. I can count the amount of times I, or anyone on my vent channel yelled out in joy for something we did or received on one hand.

I do that too it's called downing Twintania. Progression groups is where you get your feeling of accomplishment, and I'd prefer it in challenging content rather than a tedious grind.

I liked upgrading some silly melded weapon into a Relic.

And I liked upgrading my silly Relic into a Relic Zenith.

I'll probably like upgrading my silly Relic Zenith into something even better.


Do I want to do it the same way as FFXI decided to do it?









Probably not.

NO THANKS still have nightmares

the idea was cool , but so poorly implemented....well its FFXI .....we couldnt expect anything less than that

[Dahdrael]

this suggestion implies SE will introduce fun stats on weapons.... wont happen any time soon..

[Nici]

Red Mage? sure sounds like Red Mage.

LOL yes...it was on Red Mage, i think it took me 6 tries before i beat it....was so horrible. ; ;

[Arkista]

I'm for it..... Long as I don't have to camp NMs, get 1500 HMPs, and 200 Riftcinder to make another 99 Almace I'm ok with them adding ToM type content to FFXIV.

ToM just wasn't about weapons it was for Relic Gear and AF3. OP is right if we had content like this it would be nice. I would rather go kill 10k mobs than to finish up current content for the week and have nothing else to do.

Sounds like an awesome idea, better than anything we have now, which is lockouts,play 2 days out of the week and be done with the game until the next week.

I don't get people who are against this, they say it would be very tedious, as if battling RNG in coil isn't? At-least with a system that the OP mentioned, we'll actually have some other form of progression that actually gives us reason to log in more than 2 days out of the week.
