Abyssea - Casual Or Hardcore ?

Hell your probably the main reason why RDM was forced to become a back line job and RDM losing its RDM's Tanks spells eminity.

For a 5-hit? We can already do that now.

Dear Square Enix.

I'm extremely butthurt over the last expansion you released. You told me it was going to be for casual players, BUT, if I want the best of the best equipment from Abyssea I have to spend a lot of time and effort to get that. I am dissapoint.

You gave us astral flow burn as a way of getting fast exp and merits, atleast the ones of us who either have smn or multiple accounts so we can pull and leech. Wasn't that enough? You just had to go and give EVERYONE an oportunity of fast and easy exp? I feel violated and highly offended. It's just as if you gimped the smn as a job, because all it really was to me was an advantage over others so I could get my exp that way. Now everyone can get fast exp AND have fun at the same time, where is this going to end?

I am going to cancel my account and quit this game, and unless you give in to my demands I WILL go to an online comunity and convince them I'm right and make them all quit on you. I'm srs!

Demands:

1. Either cancel the last expansion, or rework it so it fits my needs better.

2. Admit that abyssea is only for very hardcore players (such as myself).

3. I bought these really nice weapons that drops from PW, but now I'm starting to see they will be pretty useless in awhile with the new trial of magicians weapons from abyssea. I want you to either remove these new weapons (as they are a threat to my current gear) or gimp them so that they will be nowhere near as good as what I currently have.

4. I demand that you make an official statement that says to the comunity that I was right and they were wrong. Especially that they were wrong having FUN in ABYSSEA!! How dare they do something like that.

I am beeing serious here, unless you do as I ask, there will be consequenses. I'm very good at convincing people, and I will make a lot of people quit and unisntall their games.

You have until July 30th 2010 to make these changes....or else.

Yours truly, Grumpychan of Leviathan.

Itt: "The only thing in Abyssea is the NM's for the Empyrean weapons."



Really? Well actually there's a ton of other things to do with really nice rewards.

Want a Cuch+1 farm flies for the La theine Liege (got 6 people a sharpeye mantle in 1 run)

Want a Thew bomblet? Go farm mandies for the pop and get the almost 100% drop rate item.

The things that drop on Abyssea are good, and they drop fast. Saying Abyssea is bad because the ultimate boss of a zone is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. There are more things to do in Abyssea than farm an empyrean weapon.

You'll have to forgive me for laughing like a madman when you state:

86DMG 480Delay > 98DMG 498Delay.

Especially when SAM wasn't given another sTP trait, and as far as I know, it has no way off getting a 4-hit build with currently available gear.

Even accounting for fSTR (of which, Stingray has a one weapon rank advantage anyway), I can't see the lower delay (2.5% advantage) actually winning.

When you account for DRG having a 68 ACC and 36 ATT advantage and SAM 5-hit only having 1% Haste over DRG 5-hit...

This isn't even account for Sprit Link, Conserve TP, and Wyvern Damage.

86DMG 480Delay > 98DMG 498Delay.

easily 5-hittable at 80

480 delay : is 5 hit -able by SAms only (without carbonara and little sacrifice)
498 delay : is 4 hit-able (without carbonara and hands sacrifice on hands mainly) - requires lot's of specific gear though

But the discussion is pointless anyway as love trashes everything, especially /war...

lolDRG

Nobody likes you, nobody agrees with you, and nobody cares what you have to say. There's a reason everyone lines up to do Abyssea...learn to accept it. If you can't handle this fact, go back to paying 300k to stand in Koroloka, or better yet, just quit. I guarantee NOBODY will miss you.

If you act the same way offline as you you do online, I truly feel bad for anyone who has the misfortune of having to speak to you on a regular basis.

White Tath might help the sTP build, but not enough to make it worthwhile.

Build a Ruby chain of at least strength 5 and then farm Key items, see what your results are then.


Generally though, PC's topics/posts consist of the following

Puppetmaster > Your job

or

My Puppetmaster > Your Puppetmaster.



So it's refreshing to see something new for a change lol.
