Thread: Primal battles in 2.0

Vedis is one of the most well-informed players out there. And I believe she is on the the right track here.

Why? Because she is saying she is unsure. Those who say she is wrong to be unsure are deceiving themselves. The very fact that there are multiple interpretations on the statements made causing this argument is alone sufficient evidence to support her case.

It's not like we're saying it won't be removed. I seem to recall a simmilar argument about which class would get the WHM job.

That, and people are taking this WAY too seriously. Chill out. More concrete info is coming.

Will ask though, if you had to chase ifrit for days just to fight other groups for a chance to get into the ifrit for a chance to win for a chance for an ifrit weapon with a chance its the one you want. Would you do it?

Could be fun a few times. But i wouldn't call that 7/7 RNG fun...

This is one of the big reasons I suspect the existing fights won't be removed. XIV has been ear-marked as a fan-service game, so making the ability to encounter iconic and significant beasties rare and difficult kind of seems illogical to me.

But I really have no idea. My personal theory is that there could be 12 primals, 2 for each element where one is quest-fixed and the other roaming. Eg: Odin (umbral lightning) roams and Ramuh (astral lightning) is a quest. Though I admit this is a bit of a stretch.

Then red up on the event and don't mention it. WHM is easy to do on ifrit, less eruption to worry about, keep up heals, dot Ifrit keep tank moving and ignore everyone else.

Moogle is a bit harder to get pickup groups for, but again not that hard. Only issue is garuda thanks to SE fucking up, while the fight isn't super hard the old BLM exploit means so many people got their weapons and now don't want to do it.

This is what we were looking for:

Achievements
The following achievements will become unavailable upon release of A Realm Reborn:

Battle
La Noscea Big Game Hunter / Black Shroud Big Game Hunter / Thanalan Big Game Hunter / Coerthas Big Game Hunter / Mor Dhona Big Game Hunter / Shposhae Big Game Hunter / Bane of the Tribes / Notorious Monster Hunting / Had Me Some Fun / Most Adorable Death Ever / Where the Wind Blows

With the achievements gone, I will take that as pretty much good as confirmation that the quest-based access to these primal fights will be gone.

Pity...

The dungeons achievements are going too, but the dungeons are confirmed to stay, so I'd say it's still confusing... ^^;

it still didnt clarify that only that achievments would go due to changes

Yes it does. Big game hunter if you don't know refers also to world spawn 'HNMs'..Highly unlikely that SE is removing them, merely changing things around.
