Garuda Weapons

[Starlord]

So because I am a paying customer I should like everything they do and never have any dislike opinions, right...

I'm talking about the people that 95-100% always complain, Also if your paying for the game, you have to "like" it to a point that you would play the game at its current cost.. or else.. why bother...?

omg we ever designed those should really think of switching jobs. Armor design ingame is good, but weapons, especially the special ones look like shit.

Bring back more normal and functional designs.

Yeah because this isn't called Final FANTASY or anything...

Why? So ppl can say: "lol this is bland". I don't see you designing shit, you think ppl are gonna go out of their way for a weapon that looks like a recolor of a weapon they already have? Fuck no. Course they'll have to just because its an upgrade, but they aint gonna be happy about it. I can hear the bitching now: "omfg SE all the weapons look the same, give us something different!". Just sayin. I'm glad SE is willing to be creative and new with every weapon. Fuck normal and functional, if I want that I'll go buy a sword. In fact I have one sitting in my room.

While you're at it you should contemplate the word "fantasy." If you want realism you are in the wrong genre jack. And since when has Final Fantasy been about normal and functional? Methinks you havent played very many of them. What is normal and functional anyway? Like RL weapons? I'm looking at the weapons and they all look functional to me. Swords are sharp and pointy, axes have big scary razor blades, bows got dem strings, claws are sharp and pointy...I mean really now. Whats the complaint? They have elaborate decoration? They should! An ancient weapon found on a mini-god shouldn't look like the shit I buy at Wal-Mart! Have you ever looked at the elaborate shit ancient civilizations produced? Seriously now.

Opinions are like A**holes. We all have them and they all stink. I happen to like pretty much all the designs, some don't, it's no big deal. Atleast SE are trying to design different type of gear.

Dunno why people are stressing base DMG. We know roughly that base dmg also dictates your caps, but for Garuda weapons if the base dmg is lower than ifrit's then it has to rely on the other stat it gives.

If they have a lower delay and store TP effect on them, they could very well parse better or on par with a ifrit weapon. You're just trading spiked DMG for DoT.

That bow is crazy.

But they look better than the other primal weapons.

Yeah because this isn't called Final FANTASY or anything...

Fantasy is a widely varied subset of fiction ranging from the realistic low fantasy settings to bizarre surrealist fantasy worlds.
Saying it's okay because it's fantasy is severe oversimplification.

That being said, it looks like they're pushing this game into a high fantasy style world somewhere around the weight of IX or VI. Not too terribly far from where we started, but I understand that the transition is jarring for people.

Speaking from personal experience, it took me a while to warm up to the idea.

Precisely. I think the garuda weapons will have a very low delay, ~5 less base damage, and store TP effect.
