no more ex modes till heavensward? o.O

[Tiggy]

Honestly, I think the game has sort of hit the quota of expected content available in the general player mind.

I feel like this thread is a direct contradiction to that. I've known dozens of people that had this same exact concern as the OP here in the last couple of weeks. People expected an Ex primal because every .1 patch included at least one. To fail to deliver now was a deliberate failure on the quota for 2.0 that many people expected. We want an ex primal riot!

Odin is pretty badass as it is.

He's laughable as is.

DPS dodge like you always have and dps as hard as you can at the end.
Healers AoE heal for all the raid damage from einherjar and you slap your DPS around if they can't dodge basic ground attacks making your job harder than it needs to be.
Tank uses 1 cooldown on the one tank buster move.

So. Incredibly. Simple. Only healing is tough and only then if you have DPS derping around getting hit.

They could step it up in a big way for an Ex version. They really dropped the ball by failing to give us some decent mid range content this patch.

a Odin Ex FATE would be nice ^^

a Odin Ex FATE would be nice ^^

What good would that do? It'd just be another frame rate dropping zerg rush, only with the boss having more HP and higher strength.

You mean every Let's Play known to man?

Only if they are both bad at Gold Saucer games.

Lol oh god Ultima EX, Ultima HM can't even be cleared in DF most of the time. xD

It can be done, I've done it! We will bring them kicking and screaming if we have too!

Hard Modes went from worthwhile to useless with the introduction of Leviathan. Even if the weapons rewarded were only good for the next set of HM Primals, they still had a use and it still felt like there was a point to doing them (especially when Titan was a gate).

EX Garuda/Titan/Ifrit were also good because you got the highest current ilvl accessories from them (really worthwhile rewards) and you got a weekly weapon equivalent to the upgraded Relic with different (and usually more worthwhile) stats. EX Levi was good, rewarded T5 tier weapons with different stats, similar to the original 3. Ramuh was relatively worthless. Shiva EX was good for a short period of time (free i120 bracelet), then started losing it's worth - i115 weapons were a good idea, but that's what they should've been to begin with.

Hopefully they've learned what worked and plan to implement it into 3.0's EX/HM Primals. I doubt HMs will change, but who knows.

I rather have more challenging open world content with useful gear (Fraction Leves, etc) then more EX primals with vanity gear

Everytime someone get killed by Odin during the fight, he increase his damage and defence for 20 seconds.
And let him spam adds, dozen of adds (maybe valkyries?). And then let him kill everyone if the adds are still alive after 45 seconds ^^

So basically, he becomes unkillable in short order, knowing how the fight goes.

Imo they should save battle content for 3.0 and just release a bunch of stuff so we can have that 2.1 feeling again.
Right now the current gear peogression is so worn out that it's like a 1 way routine to end all 4 star gear crafting rotations. Lol
I assume that's the case due to them releasing gold saucer as their final big wow new shiny thing before 3.0 as they have no other "mini game" content besides parley in the inn.... Lol
They finished BCoB, added more body to PvP, they made more crafting related things ( ixali ), added a lot of primals, & covered about half of the normal dungeons as HM. So the only thing they have left is to add minigames for some R&R before 3.0

Hopefully we will get gilg ex, ultima ex and odin ex in 3.0. As i feel like they kinda got stuck in between hardmode and ex.

Myth tombs = i90

Why are people still making this mistake?

Odin EX makes sense lore-wise, it's already obvious he will return because the blade was stolen.
