It makes no sense to render all newly-released gear (Naakual and Skirmish stuff) in the very next update from which it was released. There just has to be something we're missing. Information that can't be data-mined. I think it's more likely SE has just decided to go the gear grind MMO route, the next update will top what we got this time, then again after that and so on and so forth.
Which basically destroys what little edge ffxi had on the mmo market, instead making it another copy and paste WoW.

Is there any new story content this update? June along with the rest of the important stuff. This was only a "minor" update.

We just havent gotten a full "WOMFG THIS IS STUPID CAUSE THE GEAR I WORKED FOR FOR CENTURIES IS NOW "useless" update in forever.

Minor meaning HOLY *** ***WHAT IS GOING ON OH GOD MY LIFE IS A LIE.
I know what you mean, I'm just still trying to wrap my head around this.

The community hasn't even had time to digest the current content. I don't think there are even complete maps of all the Skirmish areas yet. Then add in the enormous disparity between these new stats and I'm still scratching my head wondering what's missing here.

Don't need a full alliance for any VW fight. Need to know the people you're inviting though to make it with a small group. Just taking my example where I know barely a few people on this server if I shout I have no idea what kind of people I get. Can't really kill even Qilin with 5 widowmakers. And with interest in the event being low, being picky may be counterproductive.

One that pissed alot of people off, rendered everything obtainable 4-5 hours ago useless, and...well, not much else.

Highly doubt it, people will just shift their labor hour to the new stuff and old stuff will reduce in supply.
Been saying this for awhile. 99 emps are going to be next to impossible since you can't low man farm 90-99. (realistically) This is also true and a load of shiz, VW was a mistake for HMP farm biggest load of crap. Also VW is dead. How you suppose to upgrade emps if no one does them and you need a alliance to even have a slim to none chance at a pouch.. Don't need a full alliance for any VW fight. Didn't say full alliance but doing a /sh for VW you think your going to get veterans and go 8man Qilin? I don't think so.

FFXI gear grind wasn't the 'replace everything that already exists when we update' grind, it was a 'we'll add small upgrades here and there, but the status quo will remain' grind.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't plan on cancelling, but I'm not gonna laugh at him. He's not rage quitting, look at it as something of a boycott. You boycott to tell companies you disagree with their policies, etc. because they won't listen to one man, you hit them in the wallet and that's where they feel the most pain. I'm not participating in this...boycott, if you will, because I have friends I still like doing misc. ***with in this game, but I support these people who are cancelling in protest. Quitting over dat-mined info = stupid.

One can still reactivate. Killing one's self over dat-mined info is stupid, you can't exactly reactivate from death.
Anyway, I should mention that Aegis was in the .dats in 2004-ish for quite awhile before it was obtainable. I don't think it had stats at all, let alone broken ones, so you do have a point, stats are subject to change, but they better do it damn quick, unless the new weapons aren't yet obtainable.

More important questions: Did they add RUN/GEO AF/Relic/Empyrean gear :o Not really, for 11 years SE has kept almost all content relevant by keeping a few pieces from everything as useful. Saying gear grind MMO is in reference to everything being obsoleted with each update, TOR is a good example as they just kept releasing another step to the mod slots in gear. By contrast you could work for a piece in XI and get more than a month or two mileage out of it which is probably one of the things that kept people into the game since they didn't do something only for it to have been made a waste of their time the next update.

This same effect happened when aby came out and pretty much for the same reasons too.

These new weapons are quite outstanding, and I'm not sure how long the Devs take to actually develop them...but I'm wondering if maybe the fact that Yoichi Wada stepping down as Square Enix President could have something to do with such a substantial change to the content of this game? Just food for thought.

Forget R/E/M, I'm about to quit simply because I can't even get to the update. I've made it as far as the update screen and I et an error. Most of the time I can't even make it past the initial login screen. Loving this update already.

I'm suprised that so many people are making judgements before we know much about delve. I'm standing by where I stood last update: If the content is fun I welcome it w/ open arms. I have been bored of farming ADL and salvage and endless voidwatch for quite a while now. (Reives aren't much better, but meh, heres hoping!)
Begins:
Apr 29, 2013 10:00 PDT | Ends:
Apr 29, 2013 12:30 PDT | | Automatically converted to your time zone |
| |  | Next version update rarin' to saddle up! (04/11/2013) |
.
The next version update is scheduled to come a-ridin' into town at the end of April, hot on the heels of last month's update!
The update will wrangle together further enmity adjustments, reive adjustments, attribute corrections and adjustments associated with weapons skills learned through merit points, cap increases for magic skills, and a bevy of job-related adjustments.
Also coming in guns a-blazin' is all-new battle content which takes aim at players who have completed existing Wildskeeper Reive and Skirmish content. |
