Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[Ath192]

I do not think we even need such milestone and money to even come up at least something for this relic step, let alone a repeat of the first.

I will say ARR is my least enjoyable relic but they could have taken even a tiny spec from that or from HW as an example.

I guess this is a new low then if those are an example of how to have something atleast playable.

Don't usually post on the Official Forums but just wanted to make my voice heard on this.

Been playing since ARR beta and this is the first time the devs have seemed lazy in what they have shipped. Another tome "grind" and not much of one at that. Just feels like they have run out of ideas.

I'm so disapointed. Like a lot of people here I was excited for this patch, to get into the grind. I was so disapointed when i logged in and found what the "grind" was.

The whole point of the relic for me is to give me something to do on my main between patches. But these past two steps have been done on the day of the patch. It's almost like they don't want me to keep subbing between patches.

I guess its back to playing Octopath Traveller 2 for me until 6.4.

Not saying I like or dislike eureka/bozja, but who is "Everyone"? The playerbase is very vast, so a few people complaining shouldn't be the end all be all. I'm not saying those exploratory zones were the correct implementation, but saying "remember when everyone hated it?" is just straight lying.

It's like now when people are complaining about every boss being a wall boss or big hitbox and people coming out like "Well everyone complained so this is what you get!" Huh? Who is "Everyone"??

Everyone refers to the very, VERY, vocal minority of players who spend a crap load of time on the forums complaining about things that aren't what they specifically want to see.

Have the HW relic steps changed since release? Cause I'm scrolling through the requirements on the wiki, and almost every step is "you need to obtain X amount of this material, which can be obtained by buying them with Poetics" with the occasional "also these dungeon/trials are required" thrown in.

I sort of remember doing these for my WAR weapon, and IIRC it was mostly "do roulettes for poetics" and blitzing through dungeon/trials unsynced, which obviously you can't do on content.

Launch anima doesn’t even remotely resemble current anima to the point they may as well be different relics

Launch anima was a long brutal grind with many different requirements of many different items from many different sources, you needed crafters, gatherers, beast tribe currency, you needed to learn that you would have to do ARF more times than you ever cared to do

Current anima is just a dumping ground for your eureka poetics

pretty much this
Bozja is the only place where the relic wasn't very different to its current iteration
ARR,HW and SB relics have been nerfed in multiple ways

HW were mostly tomestones yes but it has Light stuff and trials/dungeons in the mix.
Not sure how next relic step will go since I fear they might bomb drop a long tedious grind instead of pacing it

Don't forget the FATE grinding for the (iirc) 3 crystal from each zone, per relic, which as downgraded to 1 of each from each zone(the week after I finished the Forelands which kind of annoyed me...) if you didn't have a Zeta to exchange(or didn't want to exchange it).

Makes sense. I knew AAR relic had been modified, but wasn't sure about HW. They were long before my time.

lmao looking forward to the mental gymnastics people perform to justify this one
