Outdated Raids

[SuperZay]

Raid Roulette in 4.1 is fine but that also means 4-5 months of dead ques since 4.0. Why not introduce it earlier? In 4.0? 4.01? 4.05?

I'm also disappointed they made The Wolrd of Darkness gear craftable, it devalued anything exclusive that was left in that raid. They'll probably do the same with gear from other raids too. So basically TT card and minion is the only reason to do these raids after first clear.

To be fair there is alterations made to some of the crafted pieces. One that comes to mind specifically is the DRG set. As far as why it wasn't introduced earlier, that's something I don't know...but I do agree. Raid roulette will be welcome though once it does arrive, that will definitely boost the activity levels.

I might be missing recipes books. Which set is craftable? I can't find Demon set or they change the name.
They can always add dropped mats from the raid like Coil's allagan/high allagan sets.

The World of Darkness crafted reference is to the ilvl 320 crafted sets from masterbook V's. They're not listed as replica sets like the Coil gear.

Because they actually serve functionality. The replicas so far, like for the relic weapons and the Allagan pieces, have subpar stats if they're usable at all.

I welcome the raid roulette, especially if they'll give nice Adventurer In Need awards. But at this point, it might be better to just let people unsync it. Granted, I doubt that'll happen, as that'll be the final nail in the coffin of the queue times for that sort of content.

Because content needs to be developed, it doesn't just magically appear. Also 4.0 - 4.1 is a 3.5 month long period, just like any other patch, not 4-5months.

Adding another roulette and throwing 6 raids into it is not 'content'.
3.5 months from June 20th is October 5th, we'll see what date they'll announce tomorrow, but I think that's too early for first patch.

Roulette for pre-existing content doesn't take time to develop. It just takes a bit of code, most of which has already been written for the other roulettes.
When they add this, hopefully, it will award us Creation Tomes or whatever the most current currency is.

Unless you've an inside understanding on FFXIV's programming architecture, its pretty assumptive to think its a minor coding session. That's also completely ignoring time for play testing and ensuring the content is not bugged by any number of variables.

So, yeah, it doesnt just happen.

Speaking of minions, will the last 2 ever be adjusted so it's a fixed drop rate like all the other previous ones...
