Info On E/R/M Weapons Future

You can take away a man's food/money/wife/life but you can't take away a man's EPEEN size!. /cry.......................................


Woman player don't exist -.-

This, every time when I see ppl go "Game's better and more fun without REM!" or "You just refuse to move on like an old ppl, you should change and deal with it", I felt sad, and wanted to laugh on the same time.

Words can't describe how it felt when I got my lv 85 empy(and other accomplishments took months or years to get). It's probably *** easy to obtain now and doesn't mean ***, but I did VNM stage at 75 cap and started working on empy items before red proc was discovered, it was much harder and I spent months of hard work to finish it. When lv 85 empy was done, it was rare at that time, and very game changing, the empy just has personality itself. Most important of all it's supposed to be top tier gear for next 5 years or until server shut down at least. So all that months of effort and hard work is worth it. I was very, very pleased and satisfied with the reward. It was a memorable epic experience that I can't get in any other RPG nor other MMORPG titles.

As for delve boss weapons, I logged on randomly, saw a group of ppl doing Morimar NM runs, so I joined on Blue Cotehardie NQ(which was a lv 75 era gear, mind you) COR, messed up entire run for 45 min. 45 min later I went to the NPC, happened to had 200k plasm, and got a Buramenk'ah.

The entire time I spent on getting a Buramenk'ah, which is currently best sword in this game, was about 10 hours. 10 hours including getting 200k plasm(doesn't take very long to get 200k when 1 tojil death gave 60000), waiting for ally to gather together, and a fail try with another PUG last week.

Then I sit in my MH looking at Buramenk'ah, thinking "Damn, this sword looks ugly, and I probably need to toss it after 3 months for better gears". Well, I was happy that I got a Buramenk'ah, but nowhere near as happy as getting a lv 85 empy for 1st time when the idea of having to toss Buramenk'ah after 3 months kept coming back at me.

I already gave delve weapons a chance for 30k weapons, then gave it another chance for 200k weapons. But it failed to satisfy me over and over. Ppl need to stop telling me "forget about REM, move on and do new content", I already tried, and proved that it doesn't feel the same.

I've never really thought about that phrase before

I half expect them to sooner just give us the R/E/M we would like for free then to "fix" them (or make the RW, MW, & EW Kupons Rank 5). Or just give them to us in XIV like Cait Sith.

Oh sure its easier to get them, but the grind to get them is not worth it, why spend 1 week+ or so getting an R/E/M when you can get one of those new over stuffed weapons in one day or a few hours?

At least brd & pld shield relic & emp didn't get the nerf bat...YET.

By the way, gamer girls love epeen too! <insert vw parse here>

It's not like I go shouting in Jeuno "HEY I'M A GIRL", but if I'm asked or the topic is brought up I mention it. Some years ago I did try to hide it to attempt to avoid excessive attention, but I felt uncomfortable cause I felt I couldn't really have real interactions.

I had to spread my misery around a bit -




Applebottoms gets this dumbass song stuck in my head everytime she posts.

And hell, who doesn't like to hang around with a woman that can crack a good joke every now and then!?

What about relics, mythics, and empyreans?

While it will not take place in the August version update, we will be adjusting these to make them higher than item level 100.


I tried to answer some of the major questions that were brought up with post.

I'd like to also apologize once again for the large feeling of uneasiness towards the current adjustments due to the new equipment implementation and stat adjustments taking place in August.

The entire development team is working as hard as possible to get everything in to the August version update. Thank you very much for your patience.

Hello, Matsui here.

I would like to apologize for leaving out two items from the version update notes:
-The magical resistance value cap for both characters and monsters has been increased
-A bug wherein it was possible to charm monsters that could not originally be charmed has been addressed

This happened because the development team didn't provided the needed information to the operations team. The information was also not properly shared within the development team itself.

I feel that the development team has a tendency to prioritize implementation over communication in order to meet deadlines. Going forward, I've taken steps to ensure that they place the same amount of importance on properly communicating information to users as they do for implementation. I'll continue to repeat this and make sure we are thorough.

I deeply apologize for the inconveniences caused by this.

How does this happen? There's like, five of them. >_>

One of my boyfriend's friends put it best yesterday on how much WoW and changed comparing to the changes in XI.

"When Burning Crusade came out (2007), bonuses to equipment were around 10-20 boost. Then when Lich King (2008) came out, the bonuses went from 20-40. And that was awesome. Cataclysm (2010), items were sporting 40-80 boosts, and you were considered godly among the players with those stats. Once Pandaria came out (2012), 400's, 500 stats and more. ***is nuts. I can crit for over a million now."

He showed me an amulet he had with +1100 to a stat on it.

In two years, WoW changed so drastically from 40-80 boost to the thousands. It's been so far less than one year with FFXI with SoA. Your move, SE. I'll be waiting.

If they keep up the content pace, I give it a year. The thing with WoW was that it really only did those jumps once per expansion. It seems like we're gonna get at least one more jump for Adoulin.

I'm curious how people actually know the size of the developement team since multiple people are credited to multiple projects and I'm sure many are not credited. On top of that, people assume that the operations and developement teams are even in the remotely the same location or have an open line of communications.

It's still completely ridiculous that even a minor update can have that level of disfunction in a company as large and established as SE.

Hey, on the bright side, Ochain/Aegis/Ghalla/Dhaurdabla are still useful! Your Apocalypse? Not so much.

In Zohnax's defense it's probably actually only 2 members and 3 interns. They're not profitable as a company. If they downsized to the point of being a "decent sized and established company" and re-prioritized that funding into future business (ie dev teams) budgets they might be making money hand over fist again one day.

Yeah, but with the recent expansion they took any relevance to the small numbers they were given before and shat that ***straight out the window. WoW players moved on.

Then again, most items in WoW don't take a year of effort/time to get either, so the pace fits.

Gamer girls ftw! I was that blonde girl with braided pig tails, cover all shorts and a Blossom bucket hat back in the 90's. I'd hang out at the arcade watching all the guys playing Killer Instinct. I'd put my quarters up on the ledge to play next. When it was my turn I would play dumb and ask for a quick rundown on how the game worked. When I was up I would select Black Orchid, block right off the bat, then cccccc-combo breaker! Then proceed into an Ultra Combo..lol I was a little more forgiving in Mortal Kombat 2. I'd finish them with a friendship. :-)
