FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Destinye]

The sad part is a ton of people are going to buy it and they'll make more.

Already count about 8.

Also:

・The chance of enhancing your Aetherpool Gear has been increased upon opening the silver coffers.
・You will obtain +1 enhancements on both Aetherpool Arm and Armor upon defeating the 50th floor boss.

>Every Silver Chest proceeds to still explode at a high rate.
>The ones that don't tries to upgrade your +30 Armor/Weapon and not the ones that needs to be upgraded.

I'm sure the fix is nice for those not at 27-30 needing actual upgrades.

So to get all the weapon skins its something like 245 legendary medals and its an atma level drop rate. The fuck is wrong w/ SE? This is next level relic tier grind for a temporary event. At least relic you can do casually over X months if you wanted to. I honestly don't think YoshiP understands anything but excessive grinds anymore and getting tired of it

for temporary content I consider this insulting to the playerbase as a whole

Raid group exploded. We've been hanging on for 2+ months. 12 A7S clears with probably <10hrs in A8S since we are perma PUGing our 8th. Finally get a solid 8th and now people don't see the point in grinding A8S.

Really getting hard to justify playing this game......shit taste like shit eventually.

Wow really? Screw that.

I'm reading on reddit that "the drop rates for the Medals seem to be 100 percent for the normal ones and at least HIGHer than the Luminous Crystals for the Legendary ones", so which is it lol

He understands it full well. He doesn't care because people will flood too it thus he feels it's successful. He said Relic 3.x would be better designed and "No more Atma steps" and well..here we are. He did say the yo-kai weapons will be "challenging to get so you will only be able to get 1" or something along those lines, guess by challenging he meant excessive grind that you'll only want to get 1 lol.

As for drop rates, I don't know...it's terrible to the point for an event where every other fate grind based event wasn't near as bad, they seem to want this as hold over content until the next update.

(Notice that it lasts until October 3rd, thus closing in on 3.4 unless delayed/broken up due to overwhelming us with content.)

The legendary medals are needed for the weapons. First weapon is 7 and it goes up to what seems to cap at 15 per wespon (unconfirmed) at like the 6th weapon. If this was not a temporary event then it's w/e and fine as you can do it casually. But this isn't casual content since you need to grind about 4-5 legendary medals a day to finish in time

While the achievements will only be during the event you know al the mounts, minions and weapons will be on the cash shop down the line also

Someone needs to remake the above image for new FFXIV content.

^ We're gonna need a bigger box.

Release can be 1 of 2 things:.

1. We bitch about the content (Yo-Kai Watch/Palace of the Dead)

2. The community forgets about it two weeks later

[Nanaru]

I"m actually enjoying Palace of the Dead quite a bit. That and the Yokai event are enough to keep me interested for awhile.

63 yokai medals, 3 levels on BLM

And yet I CAN'T FINISH BLIZZARIA WEAPON.

*Chokes the damn minion*

Edit: Yes it worked.

I feel you. It's really tough to be a group of 7 with even the faintest desire to progress but that just can't keep an 8th. That's part of why our group exploded and quit as well (with some other parts being the signs of shit).

I can't speak for your group but eventually even progression started to feel like a chore. It was the one thing I wanted to do all week but when it finally came to it I just wanted it to end one way or the other.

I'm starting to become like this in my static. We BARELY cleared a7s after 13 weeks and with a PUG'd mnk since our drg had to go on hiatus. We're starting to spend more time looking for an 8th again. :/

[gaira]

can't even bring myself to take advantage of the free 5 days of login. don't want to do story stuff and deep dungeon i've watched enough of to know it won't hold my interest.

[Fiye]

I just spammed the same two FATEs in Outer La Nosca for those three weapons.

I should be ashamed of myself.

fwiw a guy with me exclaimed "wtf?" on floor 12 and when asked what was up he said his armor just dinged 30 off a chest popped. Checked him and he was 30, could be trolling and been 30 before but if not that is a big upgrade.

And yet there's several on OF still defending it. "It's easy, you have 2 months to do it". Like I want to do 2500 fates over 2 months for glamour shit, even if they were all cool-looking, which they aren't. Got my gun and this event and Yokai Watch in general can go diaf.

edit: can confirm on the change in max upgrade, this is a low chance but can pretty much guarantee it was impossible before



/em waves hand like a Jedi "you don't need to see my messed up drg hotbar".

30 and 30 last night but i don't know what weapon to get since i farmed the shit out of Nidhogg.

It's about a 15%-20% drop rate per medal I've found, far from what atma ever was. People really exaggerate the drop rate and go to the first and only thing they can compare it to because they're just sheep following what everyone else has to say.
