[Request] Make HNM weapons worth it!

[Kiote]

I personally find this very annoying. These weapons should be the best in the game(with materia applied).

This should only apply to crafted HNM items. Regular NM drops are fine the way they are. Regular U/U are more powerful than non-materia armour and that the way it should be. But Weapons and Armour that requires a re rare drop to be crafted should be the best in the game.

I totally agree with this.

IMHO, Nearly ALL dungeon/NM drops should be special materials, and not full weapons or gear -- unless there is a logical reason for the mob to carry the weapon (ie. you kill Gilgamesh and get one of his swords or a piece of Genji armor) or it comes from a chest/coffer.

In my perfect world, Ifrit would never have dropped weapons, only a horn (mabye 30% chance of 1 per fight, 30% chance of a 2nd if head incap). Horns could then be crafted into weapons and the weapons could be meldable. It really makes more sense when you think about it.

But Yoshi-P likes the idea of non-craftable (U/U) weapons and this leads to all sorts of balance issues when measured up against materia. I hope they get it sorted out by the time 2.0 comes around.

But melding U/U stuff is not something I support.

great buffalo an "HNM?"

P.S. NO WORLD SPAWN NMS WITH 24+ HR RESPAWNS PLEASE YOSHI P

+1 to everyone talking about balance issues with the current gear

+1 to everyone talking about the possibility to meld one materia to U/U stuff

+1 to everyone talking about NMs/Primals/Dungeons dropping mats instead of finished items only

-1 to Yoshi-P for saying he wants gear to become obsolete every 3 months

I hope he reconsiders.

I'm not opposed to that :P

Although they need to make the item worth getting first, Moogle weapons certainly didn't make Ifrit weapons obsolete though.

I have my own concept of HNMs =)
They're High Notorious Monsters, same thing as saying High-level Notorious Monsters, therefore I use HNMs, but I see that you don't like it that much so I'm gonna call them...

Let's go kill some Fur-dot-chnumz

The main issue I see here, its not the items, the method there obtained, nor is it the stats. The problem is that character growth has been at dead stop for longer then it was most likely planed for.

If the winglet was say a level 54 or 59 sword. It outclassing the scimitar would be a complete non issue. Its the same for every thing else.

Umm.. it's not? Is this a serious argument? Well if the HNM sword was level 48 or 49 then it being out classes makes sense! Just nerf the swords level it makes perfect sense!
