5.X Relic Feedback Thread

[Jade3173]

I find the idea of dyable glamor gear locked behind an extreme trial to be quite lame.
It's not the encounter I'm afraid of, I raided savage in the past, so it will be easy to me.

However, doing such things w/o a static group is a hell in itself. I won't touch party finder with a 10 foot pole when it comes to content that can actually kill you.

this right here, I resubbed to do relic so while not happy with the little I have to do from that, finding out that the dyeable AF gear I've been waiting for is locked behind an EX that I have to pug is what really left the sour taste in my mouth. I've pugged EX content before, got a few Titania weapons and have done previous EXs when relevant, but I don't enjoy doing them enough to really be happy that they locked the iconic job gear behind anything that isn't a casual grind.

I wish I could at least see the dyable gear to decide if doing the EX is even worth it. I mean, since when is gear 'hidden' inside coffers?

Hmm wouldn't a random player inspect or a chatlink do the trick? It's a bit messy but you can click your way through to "dye preview".

I guess they did it to avoid the looooooooong line of clothes or need to do few different tabs (as they did for Anemos iirc). Probably thought that new, more compact system is better. It surely is in some aspects (like not having to scroll trought all those tabs and endless lists), but not very convenient in terms of preview indeed. Wouldn't be an issue if we had a centralized preview menu, where we could try and check every clothes existing in the game, but we don't have one, sadly.

This!!! I want the WHM set if the red parts dye. If they stay red I wouldn’t bother. It’d be nice to know...I’ve been looking in all the big hubs for someone wearing it but it’s not exactly the most popular set of the bunch. :P

I am glad SE took a risk with this move, forcing more of the community into midcore content is not s bad thing for a game in the long run. Ease the community into slightly more difficult content will allow the dev team to try new things without worry so much about the difficulty.

Easing the community into such content would need to include something like Hard Mode Trials, though—a solid stepping stone in terms of difficulty toward taking on the more difficult, Extreme versions. Those existed for the 2.1 Extreme trials. Now that we only really get "story" difficulty versions of such fights, there's not a good way to ease players into Extreme versions anymore. By and large, locking previously casual glamour gear behind an Extreme trial is just going to mean fewer people have that gear, not that a significantly larger numbers of players partake in Extreme content.

True we have no good way, but at least this way is something. In end sure less people will have it but if this change even gets a small percentage of the community taking part in something they would not have either way that to me is a good thing. Sure it is not perfect but it is something.

This isn't going to force people into content. They just won't do it.

I like the first step, really interested in where this story is going. Enjoyed the solo instance a lot.

And very glad that I don't need to do Eureka or anything similar for the dyeable armor. Said it before but Eureka literally lost my interest within an hour, and even after hearing it improved later, I'm still not exactly looking forward to whatever psuedo-Eureka they might be cooking up for later.
