DRKs cry .. as the only thing we got is a super situational accuracy piece in the neck slot. Lame. We got crappy relic +3s, Dynamis-D weapon and accessory. And they still didn't bother lowering the wait time to enter this content.

Don't know if I should bother with Dynamis-D at all (still only done Sandy a few times), it just feels like a waste, and I can't find a good time to set it up. Guess I'm sticking to Omen and Geas Fete for life. ;;

DRG had that gaffe, paired with the 2hand update (which was fixed in literally 24 hours) that made them demigods. This is what happens when people (JP players) complain about jobs being too strong rather than arguing about not being strong enough. BLU is seeing the side effects of that, but it's not like the job is that bad atm.

Again, I think BLU competes in nearly every content and can fill in niche roles that pure DPS couldn't dream of. White Wind spams, Winds of Promy, Sudden Lunge stunlock, status debuff/magical aoe cleaving dynamis zones... Sure it's not on Niqmaddu Ring or got any amazing pieces in af/relic+3 (empy could be different), but the job really isn't in a bad place by any means. It's still a highly desired job for a few things, that I can think of. Not for pure damage, but in most cases, the difference in pure damage is negligible when you factor in the additional utility BLU brings to the table.

That is the problem with the game design. You shouldn't be forced into Dynamis D.

It is like their way of saying...Hey the players aren't doing Dynamis D.

I know tie in REMA weapon augment upgrades !

There's nothing metaphorical about it. It's literal.

It's not that I don't want to do this content. I really do, but the wait time makes it impossible for me to find a suitable day or two a week to set it up, due to most of my group already having days they run. It doesn't matter what rewards they put in to Dynamis-D, I can't deal with the 60 hour wait .. this isn't 2008.

If it was like Omen I could find one day a week for it .. or just do it on the Tuesday and I'm sure some who ran on the Sunday would still be able to enter. But as it is .. it's wasted content for anyone who can't wrap their lives around it.

This isn't the first time SE forced people to do content. SE forced everyone (notme/fkdat) to do Mog Gardens for Ygnas trust and HQ rings (a story questline that has ZERO to do with either of those things). And that's not even real endgame content. Yet, I hardly hear of anybody complaining about having to water their furrows in order to get the green bush or a shiny ring. Forcing players into dynamis for RMEA upgrades was not a shock at all. It's actually real content, at least. 3rd wave might be interesting.

It might see a QOL update sometime down the road, though, so that players who are not able to participate in dynamis regularly can enjoy the upgrades to some reasonable extent. Likely, lowering the entry timer will come soon afterwards as well.

Garden +1 rings and ALL REMA weapons, is a pretty sizable difference.

Ygnas is mediocre, the rings+1 are mediocre, the cheers are mediocre.

You HAVE to keep your REMA up to date.

(and at the time, there was more than a small amount of complaints about the garden being garbage. The reward just wasn't enough to warrant more complaints)

I'm not a fan of seeing yellow text on REMA, even when ToM did it I wasn't a fan of the yellow text on them. I'd rather see a complete weapon rather this split path ***.

I'd prefer if the text was sunburnt orange.

My point is they are tying it to actual content you have to do to progress your weapon, and not just " derp sit here in your mh and check it once a day for a reward." This new method all but guarantees nobody had a head start and everyone has to grind for the weapon(s) they want to upgrade. And a long grind it will be. But that strat is par for the course for SE, always has been. Milk content dry until they come up with something new, which now, shouldn't be expected anytime this year.

Why? There isn't any content to justify the climb anyways. If there was content that could not be bested without +299 skill weapons I'd tend to agree with you. But there isn't.

It's not about what you can and can't do with and without it. It's about having an uncompleted task in an MMO. The single only driving force.

I fail to see the logic here. Should you be eligible for the rewards if you don't do the content? There are already complaints about free handouts in the game.

Everyone master monk, and retire literally everything else, and fail miserably at content until devs do something about it?

Sounds reasonable to me.

You wouldn't fail, it would just be slightly slower.

I know that is tantamount to failing to most of you, but not really.
