[dev] Job Specific Gear, be creative please.

[RemVye]

Do you realize that they have already begun work on 1.21, which means it's already been designed and planned. This "plea", or whatever you're calling it, will fall on deaf ears.

Happy holidays, and cheers to thinking they will change something major a few months before a patch.

You want something in the next patch? Ask 4-5 months in advance and maybe you will get it.

You can access it at at your own pace all you want. Its not going no where. And really getting 7 people to help you is not hard.


Anti-social is YOUR problem

THANK YOU.

Anti-social is YOUR problem

Who says I'm anti-social?

I was just pointing out that there are other people who play this game. I know that must be hard to see from atop that high horse of yours, but purposely keeping content from people for the sake of keeping a minority happy isn't a smart move.

What they should do, is make an NQ and HQ version, which require NM items. That way, people who just want the gear can obtain a NQ item...while super studs, like yourself, can go for the HQ item. They can make the HQ item drop off a super tough HNM or something, while the NQ drops off a regular NM. Or better yet, have it require multiple turn in items you obtain by gathering, so those classes aren't completely useless. Make the NQ item fairly rare, and the HQ even more rare!

It was said from day one that gear will come from quests, from what I remember.

Well Ifrit and Moggle Mog are technically quests as well, so OP's fears are valid.

I'm not a fan of coffer hunting/key farming either, although I did enjoy having to farm the item to pop the item for my WHM AF body and the bomb that spanwed in Vahzl was pretty fun as well.

There are good ways they can implement this stuff, the content should be based around a party of 4 IMO, but should still be difficult.

no there should not be nq/hq versions of these.. its AF! It should be acquired through difficult content

I see what you mean, and it'll work fine for the weapons. It is something similar to FFXI HQ Empyrean Weapons and Weapon Skills. Seems like a fair compromise if anyone done those things before.

If you don't know about it, you basically kill some easy NM and farm items for the NQ version, and for the HQ you farm items from incredibly hard NMs.

Like Thanos already stated; the content is not going anywhere. If it takes longer for you to finish, so be it.
This isn't keeping anyone away from the content. If you have more time to spend, you will get to your destination faster.
It's only logical.

I agree. My only complaint is that "hunt for the coffer key and hope to get the item!" is not difficult its tedious. lol

[Rowyne]

Less play time is YOUR problem not SEs

I want this to be 8 man content where in the quest you need to gather X amount of items and then require 7 of your friends to help you beat a certain boss

Oh, come on, you didn't even need that many people to get your AF in FFXI. If you did, I would have never completed it.

You can still have a sense of accomplishment without it all being full-party raid content.
