Game Director Letter – February 2014 Discussion

[Gwart]

I think the devs are trolling us. "We'll introduce a direct entrance to the MC lobby... .

Age of Dirty Entity box logging just got easier.

So that we can have fun killing easy bosses while improving our characters' gear, of course. Is that supposed to be some sort of trick question?

Cynara, I agree with your philosophy about game difficulty but keeping MC as it is now is a slap in the face for the people who do the instance properly. Having bosses on T4-level difficulty dropping worse stuff than a sub-T2 fight just doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

MC bosses not that hard

Well, MC is clearable with khitai/t3 stuff so I see no problem.

That's my point, doesn't make sense to get better item on easier fights (which also includes Entity btw) while the two hardest bosses (Zodiac + Emperor) give worse drops.

It would help a lot if Funcom could just cut out their shitful policy of utterly ignoring and denying the existence of exploits in communication. We're not all blind idiots, some of us can actually identify an exploit when they see it.

Then you go ahead and try to silence the forums about it while ignoring it inside the game because of your dumb communication policy. "Everyone can enter MC but we're removing those T4 items that should never have been made in the first place" means "yes it's an exploit but we're too cowardly to admit it after having ignored it so long but we're patching it up now" in sleazy used car salesman speak.

Other than this bit of usual *******ness, it's a good letter.

Change goes too far, IMO. They need to leave a reason for MC to still be in the game. If they move all that loot, they need to just remove MC from T4.

Like this, it's a 30-40 minute trash clear on your way to the entity. At least there were a few decent pieces of loot before.

FC should move the rings and weapons, but leave tears on the last boss, and have each mini boss drop relic urns and mounts instead of AA points that almost no one needs.

For all the people complaining about having to "waste time" going through MC for no loot, re-read the Game Dev letter. They will put a portal that takes you right to MC. SO, if you want to just get weapons and such, take the portal, and kill only MC and entity. This saves everyone time.

TL;DR: stop whining, read the letter.

Makes zero sense to put an encounter in a raid that gives you no reward. If it's too easy to justify a reward, it shouldn't be in T4.

It will fill the role as timesink for the entity encounter.
