──残念（笑）。そういえばパッチ3.15のリリース予定日は年内とのことですが、もう少し具体的になりましたか？

吉田　12月中旬から下旬のあいだですが、現実のクリスマス前にはお届けします。

So, I guess we have the Christmas break to grind out the relic...

Reminder you can't post moonrunes outside of Code tags or it fucks up your post

Thanks, fixed.

[Slycer]

Thanks for the link and PM, I'm looking at it now. The first page is really just about the Korea version but the rest seems to have some relevant info.

According to reddit

Patch3.15 is coming between mid and end of December and it will be before christmas and it will include the anima weapon and the new story arc. It's a minor update so there won't be a live letter before it.
They will consider adding the eso weapon upgrade item to the void ark npc after they observe what the Thordan extreme clear rate is like and it's up to how fast and how many Thordan weapons are gained by players.
Regarding Diadem, they know players are sending feedback where gatherers shouldn't be able to greed on gear if they don't participate but if they only allow battle classes to greed on gear then they'll have more of a reason not to participate and say they don't have the right to greed so they can do whatever.
They want people to communicate and work together so they want to wait a little longer until they make changes, but they are considering changing the drop rate of gear because multiple groups working together are killing mobs way too fast and gaining more loot than they expected.
Thordan extreme is a battle with the difficulty in between Alexander savage and normal mode, however Thordan extreme was set to a special difficulty so players have goals in 3.1 and they plan to not make the next extreme primal as difficult as Thordan extreme.
Haurchefant's character was originally the same in all versions but the localisation team said players from the west might not like him so they changed him without asking Yoship. Yoship only found out after a player on the NA forum posted a video comparing the jp and english version and he is sorry because the english players who respect the japanese version as the original were really angry with the changes.

So..3.2-3.3 minimum before they decide to realize this game doesn't exactly have the playerbase that uses common sense or courtesy if they plan to keep it DFable.

[Taint]

Ughh Thordan was perfect IMO in terms of difficulty. There was reason phase progression but once you understood each phase it was an easy farm primal. (still easier than i90 EXs IMO)

And if they lower Diadem drop rates then its dead content, its hardly worth the 90minutes for 10-15 gold chest now.

Diadem is just a quick and easy 500k each entry and achievement points

I do love how he is like "letting people upgrade eso weapons in 3.15 depends on the Thordon clear rate."

Not that Thordon is incredibly difficult, but I love how he just can't commit to anything

Even making future encounters easier. Just because it'd upset the people he cares about most. They staggered Relics to not make Thordan's Reign obsolete on implementation..so allowing Gobdips will obsolete both unless they surprise us and relics are more than pretty stat pieces.

Especially if the first step is going to be a massive grind for no particular reason other than to keep us busy until 3.2.

who is testing this stuff? Did they really not see this coming in development?

If relic weapons aren't 315 then I don't know what the fuck they are thinking. So far a lot of stuff they have done this xpac has been backwards so I guess making relics obsolete on release wouldn't surprise me at this point

[BaneTheBrawler]

yeah i can barely stomach diadem as it is, if they nerf the drop rate i'll want to kill myself every time i go in. but i will, because you just fucking know you'll have to for relic.

[Katlan]

inb4 need a rare drop from an S rank mob that is party loot and has a 5% chance to drop

[Kipling]

If anything, they will add an item that is purchasable from the bronze tokens in Diadem as part of the relic chain.

^ This, I almost started buying shit with mine then decided just to hold out for relics just to be safe.

[Destinye]

Yep - Pegasus and TV materia was a distraction.

It's even better given the fact that you can argue for/against gobdips with both high/low clear rates, and all of the options fuck something up.

The clear rate on Thordan is low, so we need better weapons to help people clear it.
The clear rate on Thordan is low, so we can't give them even better weapons quite yet.
The clear rate on Thordan is high, but groups still haven't cleared A4 to get their gobdip from Savage, so we need better weapons.
The clear rate on Thordan is high, so people don't need even better new weapons yet.

[Niiro]

Not that I have any real intention of doing the new relics (as I had no intention of doing the old ones) but if they require anything from Diadem that will be a nice and easy "nope" from the get-go for me.

I did an old relic up to Animus before I said fuck it but it will be nice of them to save me the trouble of even starting them this time.
