Matsui: "Don't Throw Away Your R/M/E Weapons Yet"

I know how you feel we been farming dyna every night with good progress 2 marrows away from 99 mandau, with a 99 Apoc Drk, and now I feel all confused about what the hell I am even doing in this game any more.

EDIT: This is what I imagine my face looks like.

Like sapphire,if you havent turned them in you're not at what most consider a total loss.

@both of you though.I'd say keep going,it at least gives you something to do in the meantime.

I know I'm not stopping

I had many goals planned out since I returned ( finishing my empy to 99, building relic going to events I missed and so on ).

Didn't even buy SOA, I thought those things will keep me busy for a while... oh well >.>...yeaah

Damn this thread got emo.

At this rate I think i'm gonna make a DP , the name seems so appropriate now for whats been happening with RME's lol

I waited almost 3 years to finish my Nirvana, I can wait a few more months for them to work out how to super charge the weapons.

Eat them.

FFXI devs are obviously a bunch of casual scrubs that have never made an RME in their life or they would have had a clue how many in-progress weapons exist and how much despair theyve created in their playerbase.

Lol!

I still remember when Matsui said in one of his first posts that his highest level was 40 or so.

Actually, it seems that the new direction of the game that was announced months ago is finally materializing and the most vocal members of the community don't want to accept it.

also you people are insane if you stop working on your weapons.

mainly cause there are so many knee-Jerk reactionary idiots on this game Firesaling Alex and Currency. Buy it while the buying is good, cause it's going to jack back up in a month or 2 when they announce the enhancements

Tell me how on earth a customer couldn't give his thoughts about what's happening to the service he's paying for?

On a side note : This is clearly the last round for SE, either they make the game or they break it. They're currently following the path to break it.

So it is true, the folks making decisions for the game have not even played through the games content? I kinda wondered about that. Have a German friend who devs for a game publisher doing lots of F2P games, and they are required to play as real players, but not allowed to tell people they are Devs/GMs of course. All be it very casual players since Gamigo handles lots of games.

Jets suck!

Better to look like the coach than that poor guy right behind him. Someone's had a rough life.

They're certainly free to continue down this path if they want but I'm under the impression that a huge chunk of the people that kept the game afloat while the game was in a huge content drought were the people that obsessively farmed REM weapons because there was almost nothing else to do

It just seems weird to me that they had a choice between shaking things up hoping for new players in a 11-year-old MMO that's STILL really newbie unfriendly content-wise or keeping the status quo and with it the playerbase that obviously made it worth it for them to keep the game running in the first place

But like I said before, they'll either fix it or they won't

I honestly think what they've done is smart. A lot of people came back just because of Adoulin, and if RME were the top weapons, they'd just stare at the huge line of *** they'd have to go through just to be relevant and realize they don't want to play a game like that. They can rope these players into staying for a while longer instead of feeling completely hopeless and quitting after the first month.

Then you've got the hardcore players who maximize their awesomeness every step of the way and have been there for the longest time. These people will likely grudgingly get the best weapons again, griping all the way. But SE is banking on the fact that these hardcore players have invested so much time already that they're not just going to simply up and leave the game. Also, this group of players is a minority when it comes to this game, so losing a few isn't going to be a huge deal to them.

So while it may suck for the people who have spent the most time on the game, I think it was a great business decision.

I would force matsui to make 3 relics, and make the old trials to 85 for each of them. I'm sure he will have a different point of view after killing 45000 mobs.

I'm with you there. If they ragequit me from XI, I'll be damned if i switch to XIV and continue to give them money. I don't care if it's the most wonderful game on earth.

Krypton sucks

Honestly I am not even a fan of sports in general, which most find odd considering my stature and my career choice, they also find it odd that my hobby out side of work is playing online games at my age. However my wife is a huge sports fan, and can tell you stats, where folks went to college, high school, etc. So by proxy I keep up on them a bit. She is a Colts/Bears Notre Dame Cubs Red Wings fan.

EDIT: I screed up the use of quote.

Well that explains everything right there. He just doesn't want to build a weapon himself.

I honestly feel that Matsui has something against R/E/M... I mean the logical thing is just to add some sort of trials to increase the base damage, or appropriately scale the trials from 75->99 so that they end up with the 300DMG. It's okay though, I'm just glad I spent 150M for Scourge :)

I don't see why SE don't reach out to their fan base and have an honest conversation/discussion with them.
Once upon a time, FF titles were a great pastime for me. Back then if Square had asked me to fill out a survey I would have gladly. Now, I hope the company sinks and FF rights are sold off to a company that can put some life back into them.

Cowboys fan here, I really shouldn't be talking to be honest, but Im still laughing at the hilarious comedy show the jets put on last year. also, I already hate geno smith from what I've seen in First take and the nfl draft.

Atlas @_@

I swear I just got harder than an old school joystick thinking about an Atlus made FF game @_@

wow this quote is messed up like crazy now...

A large majority of those players have multiple accounts so your statement isn't valid.
