Lazy Crafted Weapons & Lazy Garo Gear

[DamianFatale]

If you're going to release a batch of old weapons that have particle effects during the course of a NEW expansion, then they should automatically add them for new jobs. I am tired of this laziness from the developers. It started with Gunbreaker, and Dancer. Now It's happening to Sage and Reaper. This is not fair. I don't want to have to wait until the end of an expansions when they have relic gear in order to have an awesome weapon. This is very likely to spoil my experience for future jobs, because after this cycle of the same thing happening again, I just can't take it anymore. Why play a new job if all the glamours will be inaccessible, and the weapon variety will be low.

As for the Garo event, Gunbreaker should have had its own tank glamour, but instead its reskin of the dps, and healer glams. That's so bad, and so lazily inconsistent. I'm getting sick of stuff like this happening in this game. The quality of XIV has severely gone down.

When there is a new job, weapons are not usually made for them except from the level they start at and some of them after that are avoided such as the relic weapons. Because the level 80 extremes came out after gunbreaker and dancer released, there are level 80 crafted extreme weapons for them.

GARO is an old event that was designed for the jobs that existed when it came out and it wasn't regularly updated with the new jobs, so we are lucky for any updates now. I don't know if there are any other GARO characters to inspire gear for the new jobs, so reskins might have been the only option.

It would be nice to have glowing weapons sooner for new jobs, but the selection is always limited to begin with and I don't expect the developers to go back through 90 levels worth of dungeon, extreme, savage, crafted and tomestone weapons and make versions of them for the new jobs. That would be well over 100 weapons for each of them.

In the old days they always added the previous expansions crafted weapons for every single new job, that way everyone could enjoy the particle effects. They don't do that anymore, and its disgusting. Samurai and Red Mage were the last DLC jobs to get the same level of crafted weapons across the board. I don't think there is any excuse for it. It's lame, and creates job glamour disparity, when there should be the same amount of crafted weapons for EVERYONE. Heck, its so bad that even the blue spirit clone that is dyable is even unavailable for Sage & Reaper. THE SAME EXACT DYABLE VERSION OF THE WEAPON. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they cut our last hope of glowing weapons via POTD, and Heaven on High. At a certain point leveling won't matter for those older jobs at those stages, and I can just see them getting cut. Keep tolerating this as a fanbase, and it will get worse. Much much worse.

YoshiP said its too much work to go back to add them for every instance possible. HW was different because there wasn't a lot of content to really add them to. Although he did mention to mrhappy before EW that they could go back to an ultimate and add new job weapons, it was a rather remote possibility though, one of those not very confident.

So they stopped during Stormblood as you can get a tome Gunbreaker weapon or an Omega from O12S, but the last raid tier weapon makes sense because they were likely done with the job by then and were just in the testing phases. It's the same deal with a Sage and Reaper weapon available in E12S

SAM and RDM set a bit of a precedent that they haven't followed since. People are rightfully salty about that.

Oh, there's tons of stuff they could have added. Gunbreaker and Reaper could have had their own Makai Knight Armor sets.



The question is whether the Team wasn't in the mood to develop more, or if Yoshida simply couldn't broker a new deal, and getting the old deal renewed is the most he was able to do.

[Jeeqbit]

Those look good. It's possible they just didn't want to bother putting that much effort into an old event, but they did just barely secure the deal right before 6.1 and they have to book new models in almost a year ahead of time.

We were literally robbed. ;-;

We were literally robbed. ;-;

Not having interest in GARO itself or the Power Ranger armour, but really liking the Makai sets, I don't feel like we were robbed at all.

Having another class that can wear the butterfly hairpin is great, and I like all of the coats.

Yo-Kai Watch says hi. Also consider, they plainly said there would be new gear sets.
