    Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

    Updated.
    So SE knows that we are sick of fates and then they make us do not one but hundreds of them.

    And it doesn't stop there, it's OLD (yes not even new fates, extremly lazy) low level (so even more boring because you are limited to less skills and you are forced to do this fates with a lv50 so that makes it even more pointless) fates that don't even have a high chance of giving you what you need. So you end up spending countless hours depending of RNG to get what you require, and you have to do that x12 in diferent zones. Also some of the locations that are in the quest are wrong making it even more confusing.


    From what i know then when you are done with that you have to farm trash mobs, just like before doing Hydra for the original relic, so more boring stuff.

    I know that they shouldn't give free relics but this is way worst, it's not challenging or hard, it's just boring and time consuming. I don't know who had this idea but it's clearly a terrible one.

    Also you don't even have a quest to track your progress.... The items are not even Key items so they will fill your inventory..........

    Q11: Will we be able to upgrade our relic weapons to accommodate the increase of the maximum item level?

    A11: You will be able to upgrade your relic through the “Saga of the Zodiac Weapons.” While the whole process will be very long, the appearance of your weapon will change if you upgrade your relic weapons up to a certain point.
    Hi,
    Sure they don't expect everybody to do it but there are people that want long grinding.
    The upgrade is not mandatory and there are other weapons iLvL 100 to 115 that don't demand that amount of grinding.
    It's a choice, I guess they allow people to have easily all Zenith relics but to get all zodiacs not that easy.

    Maybe you're doing the wrong FATEs, not using your Zenith Weapon, didn't contribute enough? We don't know enough yet, are you that sick of trying to figure things out?

    You would have loved 1.0's relic quest then. Just saying.

    I know that they shouldn't give free relics but this is way worst, it's not challenging or hard, it's just boring and time consuming. I don't know who had this idea but it's clearly a terrible one.
    You don't even know what Atma -> Animus will take. I get it, you don't want free relics, but at the same time, your post just reeeeks of 'I want a relic with minimal effort'. Because guess what. You actually have to put effort into it this time.

    Also there's not even a way to know what fate you need and you don't even have a quest to track your progress....
    ...They give you 12 locations. They even tell you to refer to the Side Story Quests tab in journal to see where you need to go. If you can't somehow keep track of 12 FATEs/areas you need to go to and have completed, I really doubt your memory capacity to even play the game.

    I love arguments like these that boil down to "there is something worse elsewhere so this thing is fine".

    That's the funny thing, 1.0 wasn't 'elsewhere', it happened in this game. And my god was it so very much worse! I took part in alot of Hamlets and never once got a Hamlet token. And that wasn't even the hard part of the quest! So you have to go and score high in 12 Fates and hope you get the drop. Really, how is that different from the 'fun' of trying to get Odin Mantles or Behemoth Horns? I swear, people clamoured, "Not a dungeon, please!" and look, not a dungeon and still complaining... Yoshida can't win.

    1.0's Relic Quest was different and therefor I concider it "elsehwere" and like you said, it was bad. I've yet to try the new fates so I won't be able to give my opinion until I've done so. But I do think that when someone places a complaint about something being bad, the correct way to answer is not to tell them that there is something worse.

    But I agree with you, as with many games the Devs have to create a game for so many people at the same time that they simply cannot get it right for everyone and for every choice they make there will always be complain threads.

    You forget, Asian companies like grindfests. Look at anything put out by NCSoft, absolute grindfest. It was only a matter of time before much grinding was required for something in this game.

    that may be true, but at least when you make a Legendary in GW2 that is by far the best weapon in the game, and it will always be in every future update.
    Relic Animus (so you have to do the 12 fates + 13500 Mythology, that is WAY more than a Legendary in GW2) is 15 levels under the best weapon in the game. It's not even close to the best weapon in the game. Not to mention that in the near future (well, it's already hard) nobody will do the basic Relic quest anymore.
