Thread: Relic News - 6.45

Originally Hildibrand content was there for the people who enjoyed it and not shoved down the throats of people who were here for what was at the time a story that could for the most part be taken seriously.

We've since devolved into Puddingway in the MSQ and Hildibrand being the gate to this expansion's relic. For all the whining about having to do the Ivalice raids to unlock Bozja - which I 100% support because if one cannot clear those raids then quite frankly they have no business taking part in any post 70 content, I would much rather have had the immersion that came along with that than wow funny man flies through the air to the moon.

Other than this expansion's battle content, the absolute worst thing this game does is when it attempts to pretend to be funny.

I prefer being able to do whatever I want to earn it. I always hated it when it was super convaluted for no reason. Like having to spam x until you never want to touch it again is so regressive. But I can see how this will occupy people for short periods of time. Even if it was capped tomes that only drags it out for 4 weeks. I get it you wanted more. I'm happy for the convenience of it.

But on a serious note, a lot of people do truly enjoy this game, and it's hard to see something you've enjoyed in the past going in a bad direction. And so complaints are made. While I'm not a fan of how a lot of people here voice their complaints, they are at least providing feedback that could possibly get back to the devs at some point for review and consideration.

Hope can keep people around for a long time.

This is what a lot of people fail to realize. Most complaints are from people who still genuinely the game at least in one arena or another. They're voicing criticising in hopes of invoking changes no matter how much copium they may be huffing. Speaking for myself, the day I stop posting about the game, be it hear or elsewhere is the day I've stopped caring.

Wdym? There’s plenty of engaging and interesting content to do. I play daily for hours and never ran out of content.

That grind was for ilv620 crafter and gatherer gear, which will last well into next expansion. The relic weapons for combat classes aren't even BiS and inferior to savage weapons. You can't even customize the stats on them anymore. Like I said previously, they are glamour. That's it.

I really can't believe I have to spell that out for you.

Also. I did that grind not because I didn't have anything to do. At that point I still needed Sophia Unreal and Rubicante EX clears. I still haven't touched Island Sanctuary or Hildabrand either. Also fell behind on shared fates for EW zones. I did that grind simply because I felt like it.

They absolutely can do better, and that's what makes this so hard to watch.
