Novus Meld Failure - Remove Please

[Jubez187]

Doesn't matter, Novus isn't required to do any content. It's extra credit. You can't complain that extra credit work is too hard.

Who's complaining? Certainly not I. I'm putting in a request. It's a GAME with DEVELOPERS who make CONSCIOUS DESIGN DECISIONS.

PLAYERS may make REQUESTS that they think may BENEFIT the GAME.

Sure, it isn't required. But neither are Hunts. Neither is playing the GAME. PERIOD.

Doesn't mean a person can't make a suggestion they feel would make for a better game experience.

Believe it or not, some people want every aspect of their games to be the absolutely best they possibly can be. To promote the most enjoyable experience possible with regards to every facet of the gaming experience. This includes "optional content", which isn't every part of any game optional?

I want the best for every little part of this game.

If you think the price for rank IV materias are out of your budget, then don't do it. They make very minimal (almost insignificant) difference. Just max up to rank 3 for 2 stats and maybe 1 or 2 rank IVs for 100% melding.

It was a good suggestion, if everyone listen to it, the price will drop definitely.
But I think most ppl still want to +44/31 unless , as you have mentioend, out of budget..., however, ppl actually very rich...^^;

So you thought just because you get dungeon gear and don't craft that you would be saved from the pains of materia...THINK AGAIN!

If you consider the materia market at the end of 2.21 this was a brilliant play as there was little to no reason to buy battle materia still and adding in new jewerly would only do so much. So piety, spell speed, and parry would once again be worth gil and not throw away items. And because of a failure rate spread across the server it gives a specific need to the risk and the gil proportional to the risk because of the large reward if you succeed. Sure DET and CRIT topped the charts but that has always been true of the melding game. Trust as a person that has many failed melds it's a solid system that pulls the right levers even if it stings when the system works correctly.

I agree. While Grade IV's aren't required, the work of earning a Grade IV whether by Gil Purchase or SB should be sufficient enough to merit its use in the Novus Relic.

My "perfect" SMN Novus cost me around 3.8 million.
I failed twice, ever. Once on a grade II Savage Aim, and once on a grade IV savage might.
Not that bad.
50% still means decent odds.

It made it more fun, that apprehension as to whether or not my materia would stick.
I don't get why everyone wants safety nets put up around an already forgiving system.

Danger/risk/accomplishment... {Can I have it?}

It's just 'too severe' I think.

Plenty of players lose 16 Grade IV's in a row.

Perhaps if the odds increased with every successive failure.

Or it takes plenty of players 100+ hours to get a measly 4 Atma's.

I don't think this' a very choice of area to implement such a hefty risk, personally.

Got any proof of that or is it simply your own anecdotal evidence ?
