It was a fucking generalization lmao. I wasn't saying that people actually looked for Mandau THFs .... and who the fuck are you and why would anyone blame you for anything? Reaching bruh.

It just makes me sad that the word "Relic" actually meant something in XI (before they reduced Dynamis to solo content with a daily lockout) and it really carries no clout in XIV.

In XI if you had an Apoc/Gjallarhorn/Mandau it meant that 99.9999% of the time you were top tier at your job and serious about it (and had near-perfect gearsets). It was respected and people sought you out to do content with because those weapons were the best of the best (even after level cap increases they modified them to keep them at the top).

In XIV, any yahoo with a spare hand and a few days to kill can have a so-called "relic". I don't have high hopes for Heavensward relics either, probably more of the same "run Sohm Al x times" or "complete these 19 arbitrary FATEs that have nothing to do with anything".

k "bruh"

Also you forgot how defensive people got in XI when you called their relic or their job shit (especially THFs).

It was a fucking generalization lmao.

I love how people take things so literal. The above was me clarifying my point and actually agreeing with you. I never mained THF and given the chance again, never would. How was anything in any of my posts defending THF in any way? Not really looking for an answer because i already know it so I'll leave it at that. I honestly don't care that much so not going to go all Elucra/Spider Dan and beat a dead horse.

[Appie]

Of all the things to generalize you went with that as one of your 3 examples, so don't look at me when I respond to it, shit example is shit, deal with it. And I never claimed you mained THF, there are more people reading this forum than you and I couldn't give 2 shits about them defending that job.

The difference between xi and xiv relics is, xi relics (upon release) were clearly the best weapons (for almost all jobs). Ffxiv relics are meant to be a casual alternative to top tier raid weapons. If you couldn't hack the skill to get an xiv t13 weapon, you could grind for months and with enough gil/time eventually get a weapon on par or better than t13. Xi REMs were by far significantlyyyyy stronger (barring a few execptions) than anything else or sometimes offered unique benefits. This created a rift between people with and without them in XI. In 14 they are still the best or near the best weapons, but the difference in performance between a i130 augmented ironworks and an i130 zeta and a 135 dreadwyrm weapon are there but probably not more than a few %.

XIV's relic were originally a mimic of XI's - In a sense if you got one at the time of their height (meaning the only ultimate weapon to exist) your job was enhanced. For example DRG's boosted jump damage straight out and BLM's did somethiing to Flare..I forgot what. But that was a time before yoshi touched the game and decided anything over base attributes and secondary were 'too complex and hard to balance."

[Lokus]

Uh, Yoshi was in charge when those relics came out in 1.0 so I dunno what you're smoking. Matsui was on the team before leaving for XI though, if that says anything.

hah, the vanu one, the dhalmels at the eastern destination were spawning with moonrune names.

moonrune names?

[Silenka]

They pop with Japanese names and their battle text is JP as well. I noticed that too. It's surprising that JP text gets missed so often...it's kind of obvious...

[Kaisha]

I feel that might have been a recursion error on the dev's, since I recalled doing that quest a couple times before with it all in English, then the one patch hit on the 24th which I presume buggered it.

[Silenka]

It seems to be only at one of the pop points, the others are normal.

■The following issue has been fixed:

・An issue wherein a pre-made party of three or fewer members queuing for a Duty Roulette may be matched with another pre-made party also consisting of three or fewer members, thereby resulting in an unusual party setup that halts all queues behind it.

lol...
