Thread: Patch 3.38 notes up

I've never been one of SE's shinning knights. In fact I've bashed SE alot and will continue to do so when I see BS. The same however applies to the community and when I see again some BS, in this case your posts with demanding schedules, after SE even told you that a nerf is coming is just absurd. Call it what you want, I don't care.

FYI as they nerfed the 2x relics to the ground, you have gotten no warning, it was done over night and to be honest people lost a bit more than just 2-6 million compared to this nerf.

u arent a new player , u know how things work in FFXIV already , nerf were announced long time ago.

SE never put patch notes until servers are down , and for sure will not announce specific changes to avoid ppl manipulating the MB before hand....is already a huge issue in NA/EU side

crafting mats were one of the most hated things in this step. it was almost announced.

Well that is your opinion and I'll respect that even though I disagree because I just don't think we need to know that information that far in advance. Relics are always long term quests in their initial form and anyone doing one in full should know that by now and be prepared for it.

They won't because they want to be flexible so they can react based on data of how many players are progressing through each step. That way it's easier to gauge when to nerf and by how much. Having a set schedule just limits their own flexibility when it's unnecessary in this case.

Urgh, I REALLY can't make up my mind if I'm happy or super salty..
I guess it's nice I can finally get better weapons for my non-main classes...and upgrade the weapons of my mains..
And a friend who is coming back to the game next week can easily catch up now

But..this throws my entire plan out the window .-.
Bought the wrong upgrade last week and thought I could just get it this week. But now I'll spend 2 weeks of farthings on weapon upgrades x.x
Like...if they gave us SO MUCH NERF, why not let up on the "only one farthing per week" thing too? xD

I never once demanded a schedule unless you call "wishing" demanding in which case I blame public education systems. I even stated that I learned my lesson. There was a long quit for me during the 2.0 relic questline in which I came back and everything was nerfed for it already so I didn't get to experience that questline nearly as much as I got to on this one. Of course I'm going to feel much more strongly towards this one because of that and drop an opinion or two. I'm sorry you thought it was "BS".

I can see how bashing someone just because you think they are spouting BS is productive though. Hell, I wasnt even bashing SE, I was just giving my opinion but I'll try bashing next time. Productivity and all that.

Too bad for them. I was waiting for this, no way I was dishing out millions for the items needed. Tying the relic to crafted items was a mistake in the first place.

Except the reason that it wasnt expensive at all in the past months (no spec required etc). It was pretty cheap before if you had a friend which can craft. IMO its pretty pointless anyways to wait for nerfs since the weapon will always be irrelevant then.
