RE: Animus Weapons and You: A Guide for Killing Yourself Again - Kage - 12-16-2015
When they said that the update was so small that it didn't need a read or live letter etc I was expecting it to be so lackluster it would essentially be the atma stage.
I was mostly proven correct.

It goes both ways, really. Someone was complaining loudly in Coerthas West that they'd been there for six hours and had one drop. For posterity, I finished all of my original atma in the first night, so some people do get lucky.
FINISHING a relic might not be so bad if you're already at 125 or higher. Starting one is kind of pointless aside from getting the achievement and replica.

Grinding this sounds like a ripe slice of Hell. On the other hand, slowly accumulating this 'stuff' over the next 15 months sounds like a cakewalk. Of course, by then the relic will again be vastly underpowered...

And meanwhile I can't even get past the first stage because I'm an idiot and I haven't unlocked flying anywhere but Sea of Clouds and Azys Lla, making grinding FATEs literally impossible~

Well, at least you have the most annoying one done already.

As it is, I still have to finish my Zeta.
I may do the atma grind ver.2 and the dungeon crawl. At least it's nice that you don't have to be lv 60 for these crystals to drop.
ADDENDUM:
Also Warren! You might want to change the title to "Anima", since "Animus" is a stage in the 2.0 relic quests.
RE: Animus Weapons and You: A Guide for Killing Yourself Again - Jana - 12-16-2015
The relic chain has always been about grinding easy content for the stats, as opposed to doing a difficult raid for the stats. I've never set foot into Alex HM but I honestly don't think I need this either... I still have my old relic about 40% through the Garuda HM lights stage.
RE: Animus Weapons and You: A Guide for Killing Yourself Again - McBeefâ„¢ - 12-16-2015
Between this and the ridiculously overtooled As3, and how much I hate the new dungeons, I'm mulling over unsubbing for now.Â
It really feels like Square Enix just doesn't give a fuck about the average player now, and is just focusing on super casuals and super hardcore.Â
Like you either fuck around with minigames and do dungeons, or you are super hardcore and have to pour untold hours into it. Everyone who wants more than minigames and dungeons, but doesn't want to be hardcore 360 no scope grindmaster raid dude has nothing for them anymore.Â
2.0 wasn't like this, and that was the game I fell in love with.Â
Oh well, I guess I just have to accept that.Â
Sorry for whining in your thread Warren.
Edit: I was looking on reddit and the mood feels pretty similar :c yoshi p why u kill this game?

That last step is a tad irritating. Assuming that 3.2 comes out in March-ish of 2016 and it takes three weeks of new tomestones to get an i220 weapon, people will probably spend more time grinding this weapon than actually using it while it is relevant. And God knows how long it'll take for the next step to make relics relevant in 3.2's PvE content.
BUT GLAMOUR FANTASY XIV AMIRITE

I'd honestly rather grind/farm Ravana EX because at least those weapons look cool, and i190 weapons can still get you by. Somewhat...
RE: Animus Weapons and You: A Guide for Killing Yourself Again - Coatleque - 12-16-2015
My weapon has always been one step behind the rest of my gear.
/shrug
Means more time for RP right?

So much so that I expect a harsh nerf to it with 3.2.
The first two steps are a work of a few days, maybe weeks depending on how much you play. The last step? Months. And that's completely ignoring the money you might need for the crafted items.
Honestly? I think SE simply wants to bridge the content drought until 3.2 with that. You aren't "meant" to get it before the patch, you are just supposed to work towards it.

If most people can't use it until then, it's pointless.
