SE Hates Us

Seven years of work for most people down the drain any 1 else think SE broke the game just to have more people on 14?

What exactly went "down the drain"?

I have been reading .dat mining and well every single piece of gear is more or less useless in comparison to the new stuff.

I'm sure you'll persevere!

I say they added life to a dying game, but that's just me...I'll stick around, that's for sure!

lol that's the way updates work, they always have worked like that. New gear is new gear, where's the fun in keeping the same sets?

I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that they did it to kill the game and get people to move to 14. How much exp is required from 76-77?

Higher lvl gear is better than lower lvl gear? gtfo! Seriously it's a lvl cap increase, I know it's been years since this game had one but still. In all MMO's lvl cap raise = better gear being released.

You expected the level 80 gear to be inferior to level 75 gear..?

Wait wait wait, so you're saying that level 80 gear is more powerful then level 75 Gear?!?

Wow, I would have never thought that, ever!

My opinion on the whole matter.

Not EVERYONE is going to go and do this expansion right away... I'm not, for sure.

There are many things in the original world that I still haven't accomplished and I won't be doing any of this 76-99 stuff until I'm happy with my progress in the original world.

Many and most will probably go to Abyssea, but I'm probably one of the few who just feels they are not ready for it yet and besides, it will be far too crowded for a long time to come anyways until everything about Abyssea is known and the extremely good gears are common in number... I'd rather wait for a while for the hype to cool down.

There are many jobs I haven't meritted anyways, many gears I haven't obtained in the original world... the game isn't ruined with this plethora of new shinies.

All it's doing is giving those who are happy with their current progression to move onto harder and tougher things.

If you think the new area and cap will ruin the game, then simply don't participate in it, I won't be for a good while.

I think the point being that where it stood before you would use some of the lower level gear at 75, such as the elemental staff set. It would appear that this will no longer be the case, so the items that some people dedicated hours of gameplay to are now going to be obsolete. Same thing happened in WoW, that was a big part of why I quit. I got tired of hitting the cap, just to have it suddenly raised again. At least with SE, they've already said it's going up to 99 so I can just squeak by with cheap gear until then.

I don't understand... would you rather that they just shut down the servers? Either way the game won't last forever, so your seven years of "work" are going to go down the drain at some point.

I for one am glad that they're doing this because I have no intention of going to XIV and I would like to still be able to do things in this game that require full alliances now. With 25 more levels under our belt... I won't need 18 people to accomplish them hopefully.

I figure they will just give all the jobs some LV 80 JSE and call it a day.

more ppl bitching

***' YAY!!

Close the window and you don't have to see it! YAY!

@OP I feel ya the only people that aren't mad/sad about this are the people who have ***for gear and never actually put forth the effort to get better.

It's really hard to follow without any specifics other than reading dat files. I'm certain if we knew there'd be comparisons going on already. I don't think there is going to be much epic gear released right now. Maybe some AH stuff that will cost an assload initially.

Yeah totally... or people who see it for what it is: Something that happens every time an MMO is updates.

most of what i have scene. a couple items put AV drops to shame just a heads up.

Or.... you could not read the topics that you perceive to be whining. I don't read quite a few topics because the topic heading doesn't interest me.

No, no.. SE should make all the new gear useless, and never change anything!

That's what persistent worlds should be like. No change, no new challenges, and the ability to rest on past laurels.

Ruined! Ruination!

I'd rather see new stuff added that requires new 'work' because that's what we've spent the last 7-8 years doing, already. If you didn't like that system, I think you're learning it a little late.

yay refresh pieces for hands and feet

Nice list. I see a replacement for some einherjar items. Everything else is just a side grade. Those elemental rings seem cool.
