Did they honestly suggest that hardcore players can unlock a mythic weapon in 1-2 months? What's the most amount of Ichor you can possibly obtain in 2 months?

If you did strictly Tier 3 runs 2 times a week for 2 months you could earn roughly 38k Amps, assuming you don't lose.

[astura]

just spamming T3 at 1920 per run and go every 3 days for 2 months well say is 57 days so 19 runs at 1920 each is 36,480
or 100,000/1,920= 52 runs (and a little bit extra so 53 runs) at every 3 days is 156 to 159 days or156/364 = almost 5 months)

[Destinye]

Dont they have a site where they could just make a fucking poll? Just wow

Because it's so fucking important to know which players uses a controller or not..

[ByeByeTasai]

Ya i just checked into it. Even somehow spamming Odin's chamber every last run can only net you 46k Ichor. So... the Dev team has some explaining to do there.

they can go shoot themself

assumeing you get like 1k nyzul points per run (and you dont fail). 150k .... 150 tags assumeing you do everyday thats still 22 weeks just to get the 150k nyzul points.thats 5 months, they can go shoot themself, then like 4 months for einherjar and like 290923 years for alexandrites. oh not to mention redoing assaults is 2 months

Idk if its important for them, Its not for me and i cant think of anyone who would care. Just wasted interview time.

[Synbios]

Those doing the math of the 1-2 month statement, did you ever think that maybe the amps are only needed once? Maybe once you finish a mythic all you need is alex for your second

[Weeks]

I checked out Stratics for the first time, to see if it's just an incredibly casual FFXI hangout or something. The average FFXI blog is more active than that site. Time to reconsider who you let be the voice of the community, Square.

[Grandphoenix]

I'm sure they meant the players who have been doing said events already.

[Maxxthepenguin]

You're forgetting that a lot of those (ampoules, tokens) could be built up before mythics were released, so the hardcore people they're talking about already had a lot done

[Kenji]

I didn't think most of the questions were too bad. I mean, I understand this is an end-game forum, so a lot of people here have their priorities.

But for fuck's sake, other people play this game. Other people with other things they enjoy. So no. I hope no one was expecting AV questions. And damn, look at that: the duping ends, and SE plans to up salvage drop rates. Would have been nice to get that awhile ago, but I suppose the amount of salvage gear coming in made them think there wasn't a problem.

Anyway, you can complain that SE should have made these adjustments a long time ago, but frankly, I'm glad they are making a lot of good adjustments now. I'm glad to see that they realize pet jobs need help, for instance.

[fishstix]

I like keyboard... why should i have to drop my controls when I want to chat or something?

This is correct. Theres a few 'premier' sites that need to be dropped, or step up their game, one or the other.

This is completely redundant. Even if said circumstances existed. It still takes 4+ months to get the amount the first time making their statement complete bullshit. And with the power of the weapons, that is a improbable thought. Don't hold your breath.

[Vasio]

What is the status of mythic weapon acquisition? When do you expect the first to be completed? Any more adjustments planned for these quests? FFXIclopedia
Ogawa/Ito: We do not have plans to change how mythic weapons are aquired.
Gondai/Ito: Even at the fastest projected rate, in prime conditions - keep in mind that different servers will have different amounts of Alexandrite - it can take 1-2 months, but in a typical environment it will take 6 months or more.

They're saying they expect the first one to be completed in 1-2 months. That's what I read.

[Ganondorf]

Pretty sure they were referring to the time taken to gather Alexandrite, not complete the entire Mythic?

[Melios]

I wish people would shut up about new avatars.

We will when BG shuts up about AV/PW.

Can someone please explain this to me? My first thought is that it's some kind of diagram of how gil is laundered, but I really don't see how this helps anyone's understanding of anything or what they're going to do about it, lol.

I think that's just showing that they can track said laundering and banhammer anyone involved. If you look at prior version update notes they have silly images explaining simple things. Someone on this board summed it up best with a Boondocks quote: "Bitches love smilies."

Pwned.
