just why ? ...

[gtasthehunter]

(sorry in advance for my bad english)

hi, so with the early acces i started play DRK, (never played tank, never)
i lvl my job etc, and when i reach lvl 50 what a big surprise to me to see that i can buy ILVL 115 stuff (full set, accs, weapon) for less than 50K...

well, im disapointed about this "politic"

first i never played tank so having directly "high" stuff is not good (atm just having Ilvl stuff is saving me from not wiping) i couldnt learn the "proper" way to play my job, this is my first complain,

second and biggest, why doing that ???
because now who gonna do turn 1 ? T2 ???
(just an exemple)

why, just why ! making older contain USELESS, with the new content ?
why not making a >> next series ??
to make people build up properly and surely

i have a friend who joined 2 weeks ago, was hard for him to even have a "training" for T1, well now its useless to try even winning this ...


SE you failed on this part !!

If you don't have heals or even good heals you won't be able to take/tank that many mobs.

Actually, if you compare it to some of the endgame gear from before Heavensward, some of the Coil gear has better stats despite the lower ilvl when comparing the non HQ stuff. So I think you will still have people running coil and other endgame content. And, as someone else already pointed out, some people will run the old content to get the gear for glamouring over some of the new gear.

You can't even buy the 115 stuff till you get to Ishgard, so how would that help you get past the 90 hurdle before HW?

I've seen i115 stuff on Marketboard...and bought some.

ok so from your answear new player wont be able to do all the content of the game they gonna buy

amazing !

(PS: its for a new player who want the bahamut coil storyline, not for me)



FFXI had exânsion, but still dynamis, sky sea, was all usefull (until they lifted the 75 lvl cap)

FFXI was made by a different dev team, with horizontal progression, Yoshida's team seems to be following a vertical progression where as time moves on older items and content become obsolete. Just the way it is. I for one am glad I can buy ilvl 115 gear for other jobs so I don't have to grind out a bunch of tomes to get into HW. If vertical progression is something we must have, even though I prefer horizontal, I am glad they streamline the progression path from expansion to expansion.

This isn't ffxi, and this is far from the first or only expansion for a game to do this.

People will do Coil at 60 for glamour.

HW was balanced around a certain gear level, you want everyone to have to gear in Coil first?

Horizontal Progression.

Umm... welcome to vertical progression? As much as I prefer horizontal progression, it is how it is.

You still can't equip the i115 gear until level 50, so you still need to play and learn the job from 30-50. This gear just allows you to skip obsolete content that has you grind dated gear.

[Lemuel81]

Not to sound rude but after reading your post you have to be new to MMOs. This is normal. An expansion comes out it is normal to have upgraded gear. I do not see the problem. There is nothing to stop you from playing your class, gear has nothing to do with learning to play your job.

I assumed it was bound once bought, good to know.

I think it might be quest rewards. I noticed that I could sell the quest reward stuff that I hadn't yet used. Not sure that extends to purchased gear at vendors as well.
