While I prefer the version of relic that involves collaboration (ie bozja and eureka), I dont mind the current system that much right now. My issue is that the weapons are just obsolete on arrival since they are the same item level as voidcast. Savage has been out for like 8 weeks now. I dont think it would upset the game balance to make it like 655 right now since it is catch up gear
I prefer tombes, I hate the constant grind of bozja, the old relics are some of the most draining worst times Ive had grinding. I dont mind the tombstones but I think they should do a little for both people who like the easy and who like the grind. These weapons only become glam later anyways why am I spending so long, I dont even use bozja relics anymore even for glam
this v&c dungeon is really fun; i love the boss theme in this one.
the relics are alright, though i do wish they had raised the item level at least to 650 or so; 645 just seems low. 650 is a good option for those whom have already spent the 7 week token on another 650 weapon already.
I never really do relics on any given expansion because I just simply don't want to do all that grinding, so this expansions method is honestly preferred.
..No PFs for criterion in EU?On Chaos?Yeah,no xd
Personally (as someone who admittedly doesn't do said content), I think that Criterion rewards would already be better if they also rewarded the potsherds from the Variant Dungeon. Would it be a perfect solution? Not necessarily, but i do think it'd be better than what it currently gives.
I mean you still can use the varient to do the relic. It's what I do. Potshards are a good way to make money and I can solo at my own pace so it's a win win
The main problem with the current Relic is that it seems like it's just a side thought compared to the older relics. The older relics it was content you had to commit to doing instead of just "Oh I have 1500 tomes lemme go get a relic". ShB you had to commit to doing the Bozja, SB had Eureka, HW at least had FATEs, Light Farm, and running through some dungeons, and ARR has Books, Fates, Crafting. On top of that, for those players that already have gotten what they wanted out of all other content, we're just forced to get on, do rolos, then either grind dungeons for tomes or wait until the next day to do rolos again. There's no Substance to the content.
what is the dev team even thinking…? they didnt learn shit from the first Variant dungeon.
It can be assumed that the reward-structure for the criterion was like usual planned months ahead, so as you said it fully depends on the 3rd criterion and if they change the reward-structure.
For the BLU-content, imo it was a very big fuck up on SE-side to put the Shadowwolf on the Cashshop instead of making it a reward for clearing O4/8/12S and E4/8/12S like they did with the Morbol-mount for Coils and Alex.
For the relics: I think how they did it in ShB was the best way of doing it except for the bottleneck that is the mandatory DR-clear midway for that content is beyond dead currently which makes it impossible for newer players to do the ShB-relics.
What I would have liked to see is them implementing a solo-instance to do a very marginalized version of DR so you can continue the story without having to rely on the discord-groups for that and to have a non-glow version of the current relic at ilvl 645 and a upgraded glow-version at ilvl 650 where the upgrademats are like 15 Nier-raids for the first and 1500 tomes for all after.
And for the final stage to have to do the first, second and third normal-tier of Pandemonium 20 times each, one time for the non-glow-version and 15 drops from Eureka Orthos or Aglaia/the second EW-Alli-raid for the final version.
been saying this since the first stage of Manderville. I appreciate the relic being less grindy but not having new content to go along with the Relic feels wrong. i want bozja style content with maybe 1/3 of the grind required for Relics.
There are a couple of different tradable outfits, an emote, and a hairstyle this time, plus minions that rarely drop inside the dungeon. It's a decent way to make gil if you don't have crafters leveled. I've made about 10 million running it in between hunt trains for the relic grind.
I really hate how Criterion is going so far, not optimistic for the third. It was originally proposed as Midcore Content but not only does it seem to scare away people with difficulty, it scares most of the rest away with lousy rewards. Guess it proves that not many people care about Content for fun primarily = /
I'm the type of person who really enjoys the relics grinds, especially with content like eureka and bozja. Endwalker's relics have been extremely underwhelming in that regard, and it only adds to the problem of endwalker's content having 0 longevity. Honestly even ARR or HW style relic grinds would be a significant upgrade over endwalker's. As it stands they dont even feel like relic weapons, I'm not excited for new stages to unlock, because they're effectively just freebies and don't feel like an achievement you've earned at the end of a grind.
the only thing I liked about this patch was Crimson Rise
The criterion dungeon is really fun for me. As for the rewards, i wish they would be better and give it more replayability even after you got the mount. Being able to get gear might not be the perfect solution but it would be better than what we have now.
They should make a daily roulette for variant dungeon, like leveling or expert roulette with just daily rewards! And add some titles for gathering an amount of coins or doing 100 runs
Glad you’re enjoying Blu! Tanking is funny as a Blu give it a try.
Blue mage is one of my favorite ff jobs ever since its first introduction in FFV
I‘ve been interacting more with crafter /gatherer relics for now but yeah. I took too long doing Sildhin criterion and I feel like I‘m already too late doing mokkon criterion now. Despite the content actually being fun!
I love this expression: the proof is in the pudding. 6:05
It sound so ''crazy'' when you are not from England don't and take a step back to tell yourself… It's probably a expression used by English folk.
I love it
How do make job icon next to people names?
I feel like Relics could've easily been tied to EurekaOrthos or the VariableDungeons…
Like trade 500tomes for 1mandervilleOre OR you can get it via running dungeon/orthos. Something to atleast Encourage ppl to do the newstuff
ugh criterion dungeons r one of the most boring content in the game, with even more lame rewards like wow a mount xxd, its literally a long ass boring dungeon. and blue mage just seems dumb and a waste of time
People better not get mad when blues come in and wipe all the fates
Poetics would have been a better choice for the "relic". Let me level my last DPS job, get those poetics, and improve my other jobs in the process. But no. Seems everything about these patches get so close to being great, then at the last second the Grinch comes in and says "no fun allowed!". Did they hire someone from Blizzard to design these systems? Hm..
I feel the problem with Blue Mage is they advertised it as a solo-experience, and then every other quest involved learning a spell from a dungeon that you couldn't just random queue for. I'm used to my friends not playing the same MMOs as me, so I didn't do those until the level cap went up to 60.
Reason its dead on arrival: People are tired of dogshit too hard content. Its all Ew is. Is dogshit Savage content. WHERE IS PROPER CASUAL.
EDIT: Shows with how many people are SPAMMING blue mage like that meme with the water pipe with a slave getting drips and a big wealthy man chugging it down.
EDIT 2: 6.5 WONT be busy. Will be for the msq. MAYBE the alliance. Then DEAD in a weeks time like it is now, due to ZERO content in this expansion. Worst expansion to date outside the main story which is sad.
I solo dungeons and trials to get spells with blue mage. That's where the fun is at
I've seen so many people complaining about how there wasnt enough content to play for more than a day this patch but it makes me wonder if they just did the variant, got a relic, and stopped. I still havent done all 12 paths of variant, havent even stepped into criterion. Not only have I had to work but I also fell down the blu mage rabbit hole just like you did. So I've been playing blu. Ive had way more than a day of content xD
