Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[sharknado]

FFXIV Classic when?

Well, they are supposed to launch new EU DC so who knows... like if they use the current game and limit the content to ARR and unlock it gradually representing patches. Starting with ilvl 50 all the way up It would not be original but I doubt the original thing is desired that much...

And then ARR relic farming but at level 50 :P Grand Company gear BiS at some patch, running sanctions...

Looking forward to HW and SB classic tbh

Yeah, I miss CDs not resetting on a wipe. Maybe they can add the food buff falling off on death back in too.

At least with Exploration Zones, it felt new with some progress steps visually. Say what you want about Eureka but the zones had a sense of unknown and danger to them that made them interesting.

And I'd rather do a NM train and grind for lost actions. That to me is fun.

No matter who you cut it, there's always going to be a "grind" for relic because that's how it's designed to be. A long process to get the final expansion weapon. And tbh, relics have never been hard, just grindy.

The way they have them now is so boring. I have no attachment to the weapon because I just drop the tomes to buy it from my daily routines. Mandeville is cool and all but attaching it to a relic weapon is a choice.

Eureka and Bozja at least has some creavitity put into it.

ARR was the true grind hell tho.

HW was okay.

An an example Bozja gave us Red Choctober which was a big talk during the release along with some heavy punishing fights, it was something impressive with horde of players making comments, dying left and right and so on. Yeah people would say it is just an instance where you spam FATEs but at least it had stuff going on.

It's not just that it's tomestones. It's that its such a trivial number of them that I logged in and was basically handed a relic upgrade for free. I was expecting this to give me something to do.

This is basically what everyone who was excited for the patch felt.

Log in, get your free participation award weapon, log out.

The sad thing is, Relic content should be designed for people that actually play the game, it's not like a casual player will ever make use of a current expansion relic.

Time Investment =/= Reward.

Even if this was 15000 tomestones rather than 1500 why did it have to be uncapped tomestones, do we really need another incentive to run expert, Crystal tower and the MSQ roulette

Even poetics would have been better because you can earn poetics from just about anything, capped tomestones are earned almost exclusively from the duties that least need further incentivising

[AshtonCrowe]

where did all the development time go!?

You call this a relic step?

This game is done. Devs are so lazy.

They had to, Otherwise nobody would've wanted these weapons when much better options exist.
Aside from the Reaper & Astro Wpns these are awful.

Bozja was just content that had relics tacked on to it. It would have functioned just aswell without relic. Infact, the relic parts of bozja are the least lasting content thanks to how delubrum was designed.
