Letter From the Producer Live Part LXXIX - 24 September 2023 - Summary and Discussion

[Renathras]

Isn't that what people were asking for?

Rewards that would also do things like contribute to gearing?

It's only for the hard mode, but that's what the hard mode is for, right? I guess I'm a bit (genuinely) confused. Were there rewards for the Savage mode before? I thought the complaint was that there were not. So is the complaint now that they got it right by adding it but should ALSO add to the next difficulty down, or were people not talking about the hardest mode all this time when they referred to the rewards not being sufficient?

I don’t think there was ever a real discussion about savage criterion rewards, people more just questioned why savage criterion even exists at all

The reward discussion has always been about normal criterion because that’s the difficulty most raiders would actually do if it had good rewards

Criterion savage is like a wonky boring ultimate

This is the most insane thing I've seen on the forums.

Criterion Savage is easier than P8S/P12S.

In no universe is it comparable to Ultimates.

Ultimate as in its a slog of multiple fights in a row with zero rezzes

It’s not as hard as DSR or TOP but I think you are overselling P12 here especially since she didn’t even have an enrage check week 1 (meanwhile P8 was basically just it’s wonky enrage)

Criterion Savage is absolutely harder than p8s/p12s. 20 minute near savage difficulty set of fights and mobs where you can't die unless at the very very end? No way does p8s or p12s match that lmao

[KitingGenbu]

"Ability for consecutive aetherial reduction of collectables"

Probably the most hype thing for me aside from slogging through CC for that glam.

Next Critierion is lalafell pandering garbage again, shame, Rokkon was good.

Cloud data center. And soon as well!

[Raikai]

Cloud data center. And soon as well!

I wonder how that would fare for ping. Currently 150ms is the best I can get from where I live, but I know nothing about how impactful cloud DCs could be.

[Myrany]

Cloud data center. And soon as well!

I am not technically oriented.

Serious question why is this something to get excited about? I kinda don't know what it is really.
