Goodbye Myth

[Riardon]

This is getting boring. So every 6 months we gonna have new tomestones deleting the old ones and grind the same things again and again? Can't we have another way to get gear? Drops from dungeons or craft with reasonable materials or a series of quests or something else? It get's so boring. This method seems so old now. And it also feels it's coming too fast. Maybe it just me though but this gets boring.

Goodbye Myths, oh how long have we known you, most of 2.0's life. But now most of us will either keep you on hand or put you out of your misery. Either way, you've been a friend to us all for a long time. T_T

i so called this

when 2.35 was patched in i said to my fc i was going to cap soldiery and myth for 2.4 because myth would go, and they kept telling me it wouldn't

so to anyone who said it wouldn't go in 2.35 pick up that phone


because i called it


also i wonder if the rumourmill is correct in its guess of alagan tomestones of strategy

Edit got auto corrected from tomestone to tombstone

Here's an idea already learned from other mmos.

Myth and Sol stays as is. Everything you could buy with sol you can now buy with myth (100). Everything you could buy with myth is now half price useful for vanity and rings (90). New gear comes in available for sol (120).

Boom.

Plus you want that cool lookin darklight set for vanity in patch 3.3? This way you can still get it when no one is running vanilla hms.

Can I ask you guys something?
Do you think getting gear through tokens is fun?

I had only played wow vanilla before this game and doing dungeons for gear was the only way in my head or crafted gear. But with these tokens... I just feel its sooo sooo boring. I can get the same gear as everyone else (not coil gear) by just doing one or 2 dungeons a day.

Do you guys prefer it this way instead of random dungeon drops?

Both methods sound pretty much the same to me except one is grind till you're capped and the other is grind and pray for loot that you can use.

But.. as far as it being boring well... that's not really the gear obtaining method at hand's fault more like we don't got too much to do aside gear up and extremes/coil/weekly cap after doing Hildibrand and catching up with Main Story now and then.

You can do most not all but most current content in i90~100 easy, won't be fast as a i110 players but it can be done just as easily as them but just a little slower. Sooo in the end it's more like there's not much "Challenging" content out right now that demands gear that 'matters'. >_>;

(I miss old pharos and other stuff.)

Oh and as far as which I prefer, I like tomes actually... it takes more time believe it or not, due to lockout rather than sometimes being lucky with RNG and getting needed piece of gear then sitting around.

Ah philotomes, the endless runs thru Castrum Meridianum to aquire Darklight gear with cinematics that wouldnt autoskip.

Those where the days.

Ikr, yet for some reason I don't completely dread thinking back when the game first started and doing all of that now. I actually miss when ARR first came out and stuff was stabled up, don't know why but after stuff got stable it didn't feel so bad and was pretty enjoyable on my end.

It's kinda odd this announcement doesn't talk how we'll be getting books and that gear henceforth?

Do they really expect every xiv player to keep tabs on the website patch mini-detail announcements?
How about introducing news this big in the game itself in some way!

Based on how they have done things in the past my guess is this:

Myth gear will drop in new dungeons.
Anything still in the game that required myth tomes will require sold tomes instead.
Sold drop ratio thru various dungeons/instances will be increased.

I agree, maybe an ingame announcement through the mail system, or a small quest that mentions that Rowena has an announcement, and thus to go to talk to her?
