Thread: [Interview] Zodiak weapons, Philo removal, 3.0 and more

I dunno, if you ask me, had BG not post their kill video and the nerf (and the month delay on 2.1) didn't happen their expectation might have happened ( less than 100 players kill twin before 2.1).

Well I'm happy about their plan with the Zodiac gear, the fact that it can be altered to suit your style makes my heart race, and it's one that you have to earn.

That, the same here. To use microtransactions for Fantasia items... Ok, It's graphical after all, It's okay... But... The retainers? Yeah?... That's just wrong. There's a thread already about it that we should fill more with replies so maybe they decide to go the right path. (Maybe I sound stupid, but, I take it serious, a single step to a P2W can change the game, totally)

Here's the thing that confuses me though.

According to that interview (or the translation of that interview) iLvl will go

Dungeons: i70 (Darklight)
CT: i80 (same as now...I believe)
Coil: i90 (Same as now)

No mention of increased iLvl, unless they just didn't mention it because that would be redundant.

Hmmmm so farm dungeons as much as possible right now to max out 2000 Philotomes. Got it thanks. Then when patch comes I have the opportunity to buy some i80 gear. Sweet.

Actually this does bring up the question, does one need Relic+1 to make Zodiac? If so, with Myth being farmable, getting 900 myth shouldn't be a problem. But it would be swell if I could be lazy and just not do that and start the Zodiac questline, however that may be.

This is so regressive and a throw-back to the last decade.

Good job ESO is going to be only a few days after this crass change.

So every MMO that's been out recently were throw backs to the last decade? You never touched LoTA, Primals or..any content in this game I take it if you think offering better rewards for dungeon runs (DL) is a throwback to last decade.

So long as this Zodiak quest does NOT involve anything close to the cluster[censored] known as the Mythic weapon questline or what the Empyrean weapon questline eventually became during the Return of Tanaka era, I won't be too quick to condemn it. If it is something along the line of Trials of the Magians (maybe the Mogglesguard?), it may prove interesting.
