I finally won't have to raid to endgame!Follow

Mostly to keep people from stocking up on tomes and then buying a bunch of new gear all at once the minute the patch hits.

To be honest, I don't see why this is really a huge deal either. You need two full stocks of esos currently just to buy one job's set of gear...

The biggest problem I see with the weekly tome system is that the weekly limit is so low that by the time you can even get all of the gear that you want, even with diligent capping every week, it's already become obsolete and shoved aside to make room for the new weekly tome. The only reason the old weekly tome becomes "unlimited" is because at that point, you'll have stopped caring about it anymore.

I don't think they're getting rid of poetics at this point. Law might eventually go away, but poetics is the only tome you can earn for 50 cap gear, and it's a needed bridge for people who are in ilvl 90 after getting their first 50, even if it's just buying some poetics accessories until they can get some stuff from Dusk Vigil.

One thing I kind of like is the scripts system. I wish they would expand on it and do away with hq. Or for HQ they need to take the RNG out. Basically at a certain percentage you just get hq. I mean it is so stupid 93 percent fails too HQ.

While true, the initial dungeon (DV) and the gear gap from quests suits you fine to the point they only didn't get rid of Poetics because it would have given players too much of a head start on law tomes due to the prices of law gear being fairly low, which they should have repeated for Esoterics considering the lack of content that even utilizes the gear compared to 2.x era, where your Myth/Soldiery tomes actually benefited you in quite a bit of content.

Like there's no DPS checks or high HP enemies in DV (most of the large pulls are squishy and the final boss actually has the lowest HP of any HW dungeon boss that isn't meant to be "trash".) So due to the new updates where job quests give you both AF sets and SL gives you 110 gear, you don't need poetics , let alone upgraded poetics since HW content doesn't start until you hit 60 and by then you're likely to have green drops from library+ whch is more than fine to get you through basic content.

3.1 is the first chance to finally get rid of Poetics tomes since 2 new sets of tomes came out, which they normally should have gotten rid of it due to that.

So, everyone will try it out a couple of times, but due to the loot already being outdated, it will quickly be abandoned. It's too bad that it'll be coming out on Fallout 4 day. By the time I get back to this game, most of the new stuff will be old hat.

No for two reasons:
1: The harder stuff can drop up to i210 which is absolutely relevant gear.
2: One of the changes in 3.2 has you affixing materia to raid and tomestone gear which means you'll need something to spiritbond and a place to do it. Well lookie what we have here!

Also very worth noting that the easy/normal expeditions will be great for spiritbonding AND for people who just want the glamor pieces.

I watched the stream this morning. His exact words:

"Item level 180 you'll see a lot on the easy and normal modes but it can drop higher. You'll want to be sure to check out the hard mode if your FC has leveled their ships to 50, you may have noticed a certain enemy from an older game making an appearance."

He didn't say "only", neither did I, my words weren't minced:



Keyword: Common.

You literally twisted my words just to attack my post, as usual. This is the absolute reason I do not care for localized or fan translated information because they almost always tend to leave out certain banter, even when SE posts the information. Especially when they make notices on the lodestone there tends to be discrepancies, which is why I prefer to actually listen to live letters in Japanese.

Ah, my bad, I'm sorry there.

And the other problems with your post I listed?

I'll concede overlooking the 'one' word in that instance, but that does not count for the rest of your disconcruencys. Not to mention the tone of every post you make oozes negativity that it does tend to portray a reader's bias on your posts. So long as you continue that trend of posting, you can't blame people for reading it that way. Just as I can't blame you by thinking I'm deliberately or maliciously twisting your words against you. That tends to be what is inferred and I repeatedly apologize for it.

Difference here? I try to be conscious of it and work on it. I have to ask if the same is true for you.
