this just popped on guildwork feed.

Oh man augmented capes from incursion, +41% capacity point gain @_@

Ew.
This is not a good thing....
Because this will be the excuse for never increasing cap gain...
eg: "if you want more, go farm up the randomly augmented cape"
Uhg.... that is not how to fix a poor system, SE!
At least the capes seem pretty common, my LS did 3 Incursions and everyone got a cape with capacity point gain+. Numbers varied from 14% to 50%.

As for the augmented JSE capes... LS mate got a pretty hot one, thf cape with dual wield+4, dex+3 (but on brd mule, so lol!).

The JSE capes with augments and the cape with capacity point augments come from Incursion; to clarify

Are you ever not disappointed? Seems all your posts are negative, including one where you wanted to quit the game. lol

Incursion seems like a place intended for JP farming, I haven't tried WOE yet though.

No, I'm generally disappointed in all of it, a negative nancy etc.

I mean seriously, look at all the WoE+1 items, and tell me you aren't disappointed as well.

The nefarious collar got nothing. Flume belt got nothing. The dw cape is "neat" and "new" and "whatever" but it's not "useful". All the rest of them were bad before, so no big shock they stayed bad.

Windbuffet the only marginal winner. And if incursion's sole purpose is CP farming, cause it's drops are lackluster then why bother in the first place. Dat body is hot though. I assume it comes from incursion.

Incursion also has augmented capes, but they are marginal upgrades too. People whined and bitched that Delve invalidated things WAY too quick and that they hated how the upgrades were killing everything. Now SE went back to marginal upgrades and people like you complain 24/7. Just take a break man, you are getting your hopes up too high and its looking like its impacting your RL from that one thread you made.

So.. We went into Incursion with 6 characters. Just been running around with our thumb up our ***. The map is super big and it looks like the same map for 1st one. Any tips?

I am seriously overdue for a break, no doubt. But let's not make it about me.

Square ***the bed, no denying it. You can't go from 10 years of marginal upgrades, Then shift the paradigm to ilvl and invalidating EVERYTHING every update. Then go BACK to marginal upgrades. It doesn't work like that.

You do either/or and you live with your decision, they need to stop flip flopping.

After they made ilvl I assumed we were done with marginal time wastes. So of course it's irritating/depressing to see them go back to it.

At this point they will have to, because they have updates every month. With the current size of the DEV team, they couldn't possibly keep up with the vast upgrades with each new event like with original Delve. I actually prefer it like this anyway, I don't like that system like XIV and other MMO's have.

Debuffs... a lot of debuffs. Be prepared to erase them and have good crowd control.

I don't like what other mmo's do either, I *** HATE ilvl. Absolutely. but they already went and did it.

If they didn't have the resources to carry forward with the system they made then they shouldn't have done it.

I'm not complaining about anything, but the Delve updates, like, doubled the stats on everything. These new updates are reminiscent of the marginal sidegrades of years past. SE does seem to have a problem creating consistent, measured progression. It pours or it's nothing.

Personally I was hoping for reforged Empyrean, but it's fine, I still have plenty of goals to accomplish from before the update anyways.

Well you could argue it was their method of increasing our levels. If you look at all the ilevel gear and compare it to older gear, its all a massive jump from what we used. Now that our levels are all increased to 100 or higher, we are getting marginal upgrades. It may be that they plan to do another jump in stats like that once they roll out the new ilevel they have planned. Regardless of what we all think, it already happened. Wouldn't you rather they continue like this? At least it gives people something to do, we need something that has longevity imo. We have way too many things that hand out items and a lot of my friends got bored as a result of being capped too fast.

It's lose/lose. There's no good/right scenario here.

People going to whine regardless. People going to quit regardless.

This is what I have a problem with, more than anything. The only thing Square is consistent about is it's inconsistency.

I took a long break when the Delve stuff hit. I had just completed my 99 Kannagi, and then they totally invalidated RMEs. That sucked a lot.

Like I said above, I'm not complaining about this update. =) I was just secretly wishing my BRD wasn't stuck in 99 gear for the song+ bonuses anymore.
