"I do not have a favorite soda, but I will seek one, maybe I will find one."
I would appreciate if you would give me a little more time. Thanks for your understanding. I'm sorry.

I did not want to talk about this, but now I feel I must, instead of telling you my favorite soda, I will perhaps tell you my favorite tea. I'd like to remind you this is just an idea I am considering.

Camate here. Matsui and our dev team are hearing your concerns about his beverage of choice. We realized he had a favorite he was considering, however, keep in mind that they are going through many different drink choices. It isn't an easy task, as we must balance many different aspects of this topic, like flavor, carbonated and non-carbonated, the list goes on. It is our top priority along with favorite snack type, favorite fast food, and favorite ice cream flavor. Once we have determined our final choice, you will be informed.
So much win.

My favorite JP post is post #2 on this page.. It looks like he's accusing SE of being gold-diggers

Quote:

But I think I like that it rubbed me the original development but Well.
It's not like that as well such as Gold Rush?
Do not like strike a vein of gold looking for a place different from others.

Actually, I interpret this line:
Quote:

as saying: "Hey, don't *** this up. We like the game as it is, don't go trying to make your mark on it and end up killing the whole thing."

So... from just skimming this topic my understanding is you need to get your R/E/M weapon to 99, then you get to upgrade its dmg to the levels of these newly released weapons? That take maybe a week at the most (if you are really lazy) to get?

From what I understand you need to get your current REM to 99 then you can upgrade its damage to the newly released weapons. Is this correct?

I hope you could understand that.

Sadly for some, even a solid, comparable base damage wouldn't be enough. Even if Annihilator/Armageddon get bumped to like 125-ish range, they're gonna need bullets with ~220 damage to keep up with that 248-DMG bow even if it just uses mantid arrow (311 DMG total). And that's not even considering what Yoichinoyumi might get raised to (~275 range maybe).

In fact, the last thing SE officially said was they're considering having a 99 REM will allow you access to the ws on any weapon of that time, so long as jobs match (BLU will still not be able to use KoR, probably. Pup no Final Heaven, etc).

So yeah 300m for a weaponskill.

That news has been so poorly received that, if they think it over at all, we'll get what we should have gotten: Upgradable RMEs.

Well if that's the case I guess the bright note would be that currency will tank.

If they do go the upgradable damage path, I just hope they respect how much work is already put in to them just to get to 99, and the upgrade quests are challenging but not another 30kAlex/1500plates level roadblock.

Maybe something like:
Kill each Naakual >>> trade win KIs to NPC : Get +15~25 DMG and some added Acc/Attk/Stat/Enhances _____ VI
Buy a KI for 100k plasm : Get another 20-30 DMG, another level of stats
1-million Bayld KI : Final version with between 5 to 10 higher DMG than Delve R/E weapon and more stat boosts.

Seems highly unlikely that if an upgrade system were implemented you would just be handed a weapon that rivals gear from the highest content level.

it would seem equally HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to have a weapon that already costs 100M+ have even more stacked on top of it in order to compete with weapons that people have obtained within 2 days of patch day and like 8 upgrade levels in a week

really weapons as powerful as the delve weapons shouldn't have happened at all, it has completely destroyed item balance even without considering RMEs

Only reason it'd be unlikely is because it'd make way too much sense and SE doesn't work that way.

Any upgrade system implemented at this point would be met with the same ire as their other changes because they allowed too much room for wild speculation with their statements. There's now way they can fulfill expectations at this point.

Something > Nothing

Provided "something" =/= "***"

And my expectations would be met by "Not replaced by craftable/Got-lucky-with-the-drop weapons"

If SE are not planning to keep REM relevant, they could just up them to be 5-10% less then the current ones and announce that there are no more plans for future upgrades.

I kind of like the idea of combing multiple R/M/E's to make a Super Ultimate weapon.

They would definiately have to give us more assault tags though otherwise fk that >.>;

You know, I wouldn't have minded these weapons being brought out if it took as much work to get them as a current REM, but 2-3 days worth of work to have something that powerful.. is just SE pulling their pants down and taking a cyber dump on all long term players.


Heres an idea SE.. how about going through and making upgrades to REMS first then releasing these kinds of weapons.


Ohh wait, that's the logical thing to do and this is SE of course.

You see these as the most powerful and yet they're not.

There are higher damage craftable weapons already. Furthermore, the locations of the stronger rare/ex versions have yet to be documented.

People flipped about skirmish weapons. Now they're old news. Believe it or not, these may too become old news.

This kind of thing gets thrown around all the time, but the problem is that Relics and Empyreans don't really map cleanly to each other, and Mythics are actually job specific. For weapons that are only used by one job (katana, great katana, scythe, polearm, etc) that's fine, but what about hand to hand?

Weapons like sword and greatsword are even more unruly - there isn't a mythic GS, and none of the swords have matching job sets.

Please do explain how you plan to keep up with a weapon with nearly double the damage of your current one?

Well, I think I'm in the same boat as a bunch of the other RME owners. Not sure it's worth bothering anymore. I'm right on the verge of cancelling my account's. Which is another point I think SE is probably ignoring, many RME owners pay for multiple accounts nowadays. So every time one of these players quits you are losing on average more than one paying account. I will be shutting 3 off if I decide to go. At this point I think if I don't hear anything by this time next week on the RME plan I'll be shutting down. I should probably be using my time more productively anyhow.


More than just losing that player's main and mule account, actually. A lot of players like you have close friends, and only pay to play with close friends. If one of their close friend log on and see all his friends are gone, he'd feel less motivated and quit too because he can't find anyone to play with.

not even just close friends, a lot of linkshells rely heavily on a couple players and their mules.. there just aren't that many NA players around, and even less competent ones

my shells list has dwindled like a lot of other people, and we've gone from having around 10 players ~25 characters around to around 4-6 players ~16-18 characters

take away a couple more people and we wont be able to do delve, and then the rest go too

The above post cited weapons obtained within 2 days of the update. The weapons obtained at this point are not the best in the game. It is a fact.

=====================================

As to your request, flip the tables for one minute:

1) You are the designer of an mmo and you want to make exciting and difficult new content. Content that requires better gear.

2) You've already pandered to the most self-entitled mmo player-base by allowing precious 1's and 0's to be upgraded up until this point.
