I'm Still Enjoying the Relic Step

*shrugs* I just do it and get it over with. It’s a quicker duty, so I’m in and out with more time to run something else. Seems silly to take a 30 minute penalty for a raid that takes about 20 minutes on a bad day. lol

That's why you leave AR roulette as the last thing you do for the day :3c Who cares about penalty when you're logging off anyway, lol.

I don't actually understand what is so great about doing exacly the same tasks over and over again?
Specially if you play a bit longer and you did it before for the other relics etc.

Even if the relic is supposed to be a poetics grind it's still about doing the same.

We need innovation how many times are you ready to do the same content people?

Who is going to tell them?

Tbf MMO is mostly doing the same things for different rewards over and over again since many players will burn through content faster than devs can create new grinds unless it's time-gated once a week.

This.

I genuinely don't know any online game (be it classic MMO or something else) that doesn't become routinous relatively quickly. Heck, single-player games tend to be routinous, they just have the benefit of being confined within 40-120 hours of gameplay, so the feeling of novely doesn't wear off.

Sure, there are a lot of things that can be improved, but let's not pretend that the need to repeat most content again and again will dissapear like... ever. Because it won't, and not just in FF14.

Some people are content with mediocrity.

Everytime i either just watch a youtube video, or leave. I dont care that i died 6x because i didnt move out of the aoe. I just cant bother playing it anymore. i press the 1,2,3 rotation blind, no idea if i accidentaly missed a button. Im just completely sick of those raids. If SE isnt bothering putting more effort into getting those raids good again, im not putting effort into playing it. Youtube gets my focus here.

Its that i dont have any other game atm where i can have nice 30min rounds, or i would have taken that instead of the 20min penalty of having to watch a youtube video.

I have better ways to spend my time.

I’ve probably gotten Syrcus, LotA and WoD more often than not, but I’m done now. lol I much preferred getting my 3 whole runs of Thaleia, or my 1 run of Jeuno that I didn’t have to manually queue for /after/ running for my daily bonus! XD Shame I didn’t get Paradigm at all. Only got Orbonne and Dun Scaith once each. WoD was by far the most frequent.

or farm the raids 180 times.

We don't talk about that. LOL XD

Despite the game burning all around us, I'm still enjoying the relic.

I don't feel rushed, I feel the expectations are manageable, I'm playing roulette content I haven't seen in years, everything has been going well.

I'm hopeful that more relic steps are like this. It's not punishing but it does take a lot of work to get there.

Cheers to the developers for this step.

I agree, almost done with only the 4 daily bonus, allows me to focus on mainly on CE witch is welcome break from battle content after almost 100 fork tower clears.

There's no reason to rush, I'll most likely get those 21 * 1500 tomes by the time the next patch drops.

problem is if you log off every time you get crystal tower you wont get anywhere
