5.X Relic Feedback Thread

But we also knew from precedent at that time that the dyeable AF would likely be available outside of raids through the upgrade items being added to Alliance raids and Hunts in 3.1 (which they were, a full equivalent patch before they were added in Shadowbringers, even).

Having it behind this EX trial is effectively worse than having it behind Gordias because at least we could be reasonably sure then that we'd be getting it in HW based on past patches. As things stand now, there very well may *not* be another way to get dyeable AF in Shadowbringers without doing the EX trial, since they have not historically made EX trial rewards available through other means.

Using the same logic, we know from precedent that SE makes relics easier to get as the expansion progresses. Titania and Innocense are faceroll and brain-dead now, they were not in 5.0. SE might go even further with this trial.

I love that we actually have engaging content in order to get the armor (we aren't even talking about the weapon, this is an extra thing on top of the relic). It'll get easier over time so those that don't want to do it don't have to, and the fight isn't even that hard. A friend of mine described it as "Mechanically engaging, but you can get 12 deaths and still win, so the challenge hardly matters". With such a low DPS check, it's accessible content, moreso than people are giving it credit for in this thread.
