Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[Renathras]

Remember when we had 4 eureka zones for relic steps and everyone complained and hated it and said they wanted the old tomestone grinds back from Heavensward?

Remember when we had to do 15 DR and people just wanted their old content crystal tower farms back?

So now SE is letting people do whatever content they want as long as it gives the tomestones.

Tbh people asked for boring old content and they got it. It’s the people attacking eureka as a concept that got us here so I hope they enjoy it.

EXACTLY!

Been saying this since people complained about the ShB Relic - the most accessible, least grindy, and giving you options in how to do it Relic in the game at-level - that if people didn't stop complaining about every little thing, the game would just dumb it down and they'd have only themselves to blame.

Now it's happened and they're all blaming...everyone who isn't themselves.

All the folks who witched with a capital B endlessly about Eureka and Bozja: This is what you get. Sad that the rest of us have to suffer through it, but it's the inevitable outcome of complaining about everything and refusing to ever be happy. It's not "white knighting" to point out that if you complain about everything, eventually, there will be nothing since everything you complained about being removed leaves nothing left.

EDIT:

We gave up an exploratory zone and relic quests for island sanctuary and dead content criterions.

This is what happens when the casual playerbase get a say in the game's endgame content.

rofl!

This has nothing to do with "the casual playerbase". What a bad take...

I'm a little confused by this. Aren't the people who complained about Eureka and Bozja different from the people who are complaining now? Honestly I like the way it is now so I'd call it feedback received.

What a bad take...

The only "bad take" is yours thinking the same people who complained about eureka/bozja are the exact same people that are complaining now XD. Like somehow this game doesn't have a pretty big active playerbase.

I'm glad Eureka and Bozja were discontinued and I no longer have to spend months in a separate instance. I'm not glad that, opposite to my feedback, the relic starts mid expansion and has been turned into a tome weapon that is nothing like ARR or HW relics. If you're not smart enough to place blame on the developers who made the relic quest, no one can help you. Enjoy suffering through it whilst making up more excuses for them.

It just feels "not good" (I agree) because of how generic tomes are. They're just this thing we get by doing other things that have no actual presence in the game world. They aren't items and they have no lore payoff.

There are also no new UI elements to this newest relic like there were in ARR and HW. No books to scribble out targets from, no magical bar of power to fill, no messages from your weapon's soul, nothing. Just go to a vendor, done. New patch, vendor, done.
