Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[Deveryn]

In all these pages, did anyone notice there's apparently no new battlefield to grind? This already sounds like the best relic series. It's also good for anyone that might even want to do Bozja whether it be for leveling or relics.

look overrated?

what did he mean by this

The fact that it's so popularized, IDK? I was among those who was mindlessly told when I started the game to play that questline. I gave up quickly after seeing I need to wait for a FATE, and looked up about it online. It's everywhere. People are allowed to love it OFC, but really can't hold a candle to the MSQ for me. It's just a lot of goofing around and not my thing.

I'm just really disappointed in general, my hild has been dead in heavensward for like 3 years, but the worst thing about having to put up with this boring questline is after that have to grind for ridiculous weapons, I love collecting relic weapons I just hope they at least aren't '' haha funny'', and just something nice like most of them.

What are you talking about, this thread is the new battlefield, really.

Jokes apart, does not having an instanced area automatically make a relic better? Cause by that logic ARR and HW relics are the best to date, and yet they're not famous for being fun to do.

Im 100% On Board with The next New Hildebrand Storyline Tieing into the Next Relic.
The idea of the next series being "Manderville Weapons" sounds absolutly awesome, and if they are joke weapons, I would LOVE that.

I would love that too. Joke weapons can still look good and in the end relic will just end up being glamour anyway.

But I do understand that someone does not like it. They maybe should still wait until the content is out before they judge it though.

I hope hildy weapons are from the weapon design contest because those looked amazing.

Not for everyone but honestly for me its a plus that there might not be an instanced area this time. Does it mean that the relic will be 100% better than the Eureka and Bozja one? No. They could still mess it up. But at least there is now a bigger chance of being able to achieve the weapon through a variety of content. Of course if you love Eureka and Bozja this could be a downgrade (but we still dont even know what we will have to do) but there are more groups of players in this game and I think its quite fine if another group now gets their "dream" relic questlines.

Also this thread really just shows how some are just here for the sake of complaining. I really disliked Eureka, Diadem and many other contents over the years and have complained about them here. But at least I waited until we got enough information (like the no male bunny thing) or until I played the content myself. Coming in here and already hating on it for things that we have no idea about (how serious it will be, how the weapons will look, how there is seemingly no worldbuilding...) is not being constructive.

I'm just confused at "the best relic series", since so far we got 4 series, 2 without a battlefield and 2 with. So how does the new one having none make it automatically better than the other 2 that also have none?
On the other hand, the older relics had such a grind that people complained about it for so many years that they decreased it in the end. But I also know that some people complained about the last ones not beign grindy enough for them.

For me personally there's no better or worse just based on special area vs no special area (conversely, resistance ones unlike eureka have a special area bt grind has more options than that, so it's kinda hybrid), gotta see how the whole process unfolds. For sure if they tell me run LotA sync a few thousands times I'm out, for example.

Honestly it just sucks for me. Now I have to put up with 2-3 hours of skipping boring ass cutscenes with a poker face of this god awful unfunny questline just to get a relic weapon? Great game design btw.

I have read the views made by lackluster story writers guild on the forum and I think Hildebrand is no good for the relic. The weakness is the story. Good stories have suspense and drama like a Game of the Thrones and Heavensward. People do not like Hildebrand because they make it too much like slice of life anime when it needs dark fantasy genre.

Hildebrand feels weak because of many death fake outs. Every time Nashu hits with explosion, you think is this it at last? But no he is still alive. The other problem is the story bias. Hildebrand is the gentleman of light. What about the gentleman of dark? We only hear one bias view because of bad localization of french story to japanese.

I am also mad about a video clip I see. Hildebrand fires missle at the earth to genocide the people. But Nashu does not question this. I can not support a viewpoint that is evil unless it is done in dark fantasy story like Cersei.

We must take back story. Players must now rewrite the Hildebrand story to change the direction and make it good again like it was when Maehiro was writer.
