Repairing Repairs

[DoubleEcho]

yes, i am referring to that. but also the rank 20 tanner and rank 30. I dont think its grasping at straws to wonder why they would need anything other than dark matter (a mat'l that magically fixes everything). I am talking about destroying the entire story arc for a class.

I've been civil, but I've gotta say this.

You all need to stop acting like drama queens saying that this will destroy the lore/story for crafting quests. If this breaks the game for you, then make sure you hand me some shards before you leave. I'm not going to get hung up over such a small detail. You ARE grasping at straws because those who are complaining about Dark Matter ruining game lore are looking for any small tidbit to advance their position, and it just makes you look sad.

Enough!

you know my first post on this thread agreed with the change right?

I am just pointing out that the complaint that this destroys lore has merit.

This doesn't destroy lore. Data does.

Change =/= Destroy. As others have said the game is essentially still in development and subject to change. I care about the lore and I love what we've been given so far. That being said I'd rather see them improve the game instead of being afraid to change anything because of lore.

This is Yoshida's game now. You can either suck it up and keep playing or leave. I swear just because they asked our opinions and listened to a few suggestions people think they're entitled for the game to be made in their image.

couple comments.

What are they going to do with the spetches?

and also, it is annoying to check a abazaar only to see it filled with repair mats and all 999999's. Maybe we can actually start using bazaar's for what they were intended for and not for holding extra repair mat inventory.

I was actually thinking of putting dark matter in my bazaar for 999999 lol... but I'd still have a couple openings for actual stuff :P

Well, now that acquiring repair materials will be significantly more convenient for crafters, maybe repairees will finally learn how to price competitvely and stop complaining about never receiving any repairs.

[Griss]

So where does all this dark matter come from?

(Surprised no one brought up the reference yet)

i think >> This guy<< has an idea

[Hikozaemon]

why not abolish repairs altogether instead of dumbing something down that was down right bullshit to begin w/.

[tragic]

I wish the grade 5 stuff could repair all the low rank stuff as well. But I suppose I won't complaining about reducing my repair bazaar to 2 stacks instead of all 10 like it currently is.

Some Lore for Thought: The Harbor Herald: Bulletin

Prolonged use of the Pure Crystal Aetherites for Teleportation not only weakens an adventurer and requires time to mend but the Pure Energy of the Aetherites has a dramatic effect on all Nature Based Equipment which if left unmended weakens the effectiveness of the equipment even to the point of being useless.

The only material that seems to repair gear damaged through Aetherite usage is the newly discovered Dark Matter. Our top scientists have recently studied these bits of Dark Matter and have concluded that the material is being found all across Ezorea though they are not certain if the Dark Matter is a new substance "growing" for lack of a better term in our realm or an existing substance that has "awakened" for lack of a better term.

In either case (or another not yet postulated) our top researchers will continue to "study the matter" (pun intended) but one theory put forward by one adventurer is thus: "Wherever Light masses in the Universe, Dark Matter is kept at bay, and wherever Dark Matter masses in the Universe, Light can not penetrate. However in areas of the Universe where Birth, Destruction and Rebirth occur, both Light and Dark Matter seem to be at war with one other."

While this prophetic prose has no bearing on scientific data it does appear as though Aetherite Crystals and Dark Matter are 2 very strong elements in our world which we must periodically use to maintain our everyday lives but quite possibly to affect the balance of Eorzea itself.
