Both Coke and Dr. Pepper had Cherry Vanilla, I tried neither. =(





Dr. Pepper also had a Berries and Cream flavor.

I just don't like the taste. When I was little people always thought I was joking when I said I didn't want it. And so they always gave me anyway.

Now that you mention it, I think I had tried that Dr. Pepper too but didn't taste anything different because Dr. Pepper already has such a powerful, odd taste.

All I see now days is vanilla coke, and diet cherry vanilla coke. Same with dp I can't ever find the cherry vanilla regular dp, but I can find the diet version... I'm on a dp strike for them suing themselves though.

They made a potion around the release of FFXII, I believe it was. It was an herbal tea that was sweetened with honey, IIRC. It also tasted like ***.

Personally, I worry for this game's future as a whole by the trending these past two updates with releasing weapons comparable or beyond base damage of relics, and then completely blowing them out of the water, to the gear that can be somewhat comparable to -1 Hexed gear sets. In turn, if people stop doing Legion, where are the materials for other crafters going to come from to even get to 110 now? The new synths are 110+ which is disappointing, in the way that there still isn't a lot to bridge 105-110 synths.

Not to mention, I think R/M/E have become an integral part of the game and many players, even casuals, making gil by farming currency. If the weapons are rendered obsolete, who's going to bother with any old content at all? Trying to base an entire game off of one expansion is a very poor design for an MMO. I believed they were on the right path before with continuing to keep things relevant, but now I'm just waiting for how they are going to address this before I make my final decision with this game.

This just reaks of a sense of entitlement that the current generation keeps thinking that work they've done in the past somehow means they are guaranteed something in the future. Your work in the past was to get something in the past. They aren't taking anything away from you.

Except, I'm the older generation and this makes you sound like a *** idiot. I will gladly elucidate for you.

I understand that relics are easy now or some people had an easier time making them but here goes:

I spent 2 hours farming dynamis (poorly) everyday getting ~200 currency. That's 153 hours of my time spent farming up apoc (JUST FOR 75).
Then the trials. I think it's a conservative estimate to say another 40-50 hours for the trials to 99.
I understand the concept of the value of time/money is hard to grasp in mommy's basement when the best thing you have to do with an hour is beat off, but my time is actually pretty valueable. Ask a college student what an hour costs them. If one of my customers wants to buy an hour of my time they're paying $50/hour. In 203 hours I'm fairly certain I could begin to learn another language, or re-build an engine (or in theory go buy some mountain dew, play 3 rounds of COD and talk some ***on an online forum).

Either way 200+ hours is a huge chunk of time to invest into ANYTHING (let alone a *** game they charge me for). If you took my working value/hour and applied it to this it would cost you $ 10,150 to have me farm you an Apocalypse on the clock. That's a bit extruded obviously but time IS valuable. When I've only got an average of 700,800 hours on this planet (and only half of those are "good") I kind of expect a return on my investment.

Now you're telling me that someone can get something that shits all over my investment with (assuming luck) less than a days worth of work? Yeah *** that. This isn't WOW. This isn't another MMO. The concept of "everything will be obsolete eventually" was never understood here. If I ever thought this ***would be EASILY replaced I wouldn't have spent the time on it... simple as that.

I also am NOT required to play this game. I do pay for it (in case you weren't aware). I don't use my parents credit card to pay for this account. Being that it is a commodity, or product, it is their job to please me.... in essence I am entitled to demand what I want from this game because they charge me to play it. They stop fulfilling their side of the bargain and guess what:

Everyone with their HURPEDY DURPEDY, CHANGE R GUD MAN. I THINK WE SHUD GET 10 MIN WORK WEAPON BECUZ WOW DOZ IT is *** ignorant. If I wanted that I would have played a different MMO. I vote with my dollar. That's my entitlement. If you change my *** Coke, and I don't like it; I go buy pepsi (or just drink water, etc).

It's not their "whim" to make this game. It is their JOB to make content that pleases people and draws them business. A large portion of the playerbase saying "*** it, im out" is NOT good for continuing to work. If you think new people are going to run out and buy FFXI after 13 years because of 300 D weapons, you're beyond help.

tl;dr keep the majority happy and stop trying to reinvent the wheel. You're not going to attract new players after a decede being like WOW because if they wanted that they'd go play WOW instead long ago.

Best post.... ever.

Ya these 2 posts cover everything.

Agree these two posts cover the main points. Has there been any response from the devs, besides the, we can't talk about the RME adjustment because its not ready?

Right now i am in a wait and see attitude, but if we are going in the direction of completely making older content irrelevant, I expect a significant portion of the base will erode. And many will not migrate to 14 out of spite/lack of trust.

I think that's the first time I've heard of royal jelly being used in an actual food and not some kind of beauty product, though.

Nope! There's some indication that Matsui had plans to update RMEs even before the most recent patch (hence his "don't throw away your RMEs" post), but it seems that he wanted to use the new high-DPS weapons to motivate players to reform 18-man LSs for Adoulin content.

However, shits are being flipped and now he is facing such incredible pressure from the JPs (our opinions obviously don't matter) that he is considering it post-haste. Because he didn't intend to do it (at least not soon), there is no one working on it and they don't have anyone that could work on it without delaying other (probably FFXIV) content, which they don't want to do. This was poor planning on their part and they're idiots, but they stand to lose enough money from this that they will probably find someone to do it.

To top it off, it's Golden Week in Japan. Don't expect any updates for a few days and even then the best you could hope for is a planning update.

Funny, because all they had to do was attach upgrade items to delve that result in the upgraded relics to smooth things over in the quick 'n dirty fashion.

Well, they also have to make 96 (or 100 if RUN/GEO get Mythics) level 99 RMEs (Afterglow and not), which is more items than they added in the last patch. I would assume that it could be mostly copy/paste and change the base damage, which doesn't sound hard to me, but they always complain about adding items en masse.
