    I don't want a kiddy game like WoW ok

    this is a grown up game, unlike WoW

    you can fail in synthisis
    you can loose EXP
    you can level down
    you can get bad augments from quests.


    deal with it or GTFO
    Wow, you are such a fucking flaming troll. How is "no negative stats" a kiddie game? Jesus tapdancing christ. I played FFXI, and I played WoW, and I realize they are different games. WoW, btw, is also far from a kiddie game and I can go into that in a separate thread if you'd like, but having never played it but feeling the need to still bash it anyway, I suppose you wouldn't know that. You are seriously not getting it if you think I want this to turn into Hello Kitty adventures. (For the record, in WoW, you get ganked a lot. You die and you lose durability on your items. You can fall off anything from any height, and yeah, you die. There is plenty wrong with that game, yet I can still have fun playing it! ZOMG!)

    I've already said I think there are enough risks with not being able to sell the item back. I augment Genie Weskit, I'm out 3m regardless of whether the item was augmented to my liking or not. OMG, SOUNDS LIKE A RISK TO ME. So does the risk of WIPE and losing it altogether, which is entirely possible because these NMs are actually hard! And guess what? I AM OK WITH SHITTY AUGMENTS. +1 VIT, +12 ELEMENT RESIST, RESIST STATUS EFFECT +1 ARE ALL SHITTY AUGMENTS, BUT AT LEAST THEY DON'T RUIN ITEMS.

    I realize your head is far up SE's ass at this point, and that's great. I don't whine about xp loss, I don't whine about losing materials, I don't whine about a lot of stuff, but negative stats on an item that I traded for the SOLE PURPOSE of making it better is absolute total BS.

    Yes, I realize it's not going to change, but you have to realize that people have been playing this game a long time, probably longer than you, and have a right to speak out when they think something is fucked up. I think negative stats are fucked up. If you don't like it, FUCKING IGNORE ME. Obviously my opinions are worthless to you, and you're obviously not getting it, after I've repeated it a dozen times.

    What the fuck ever. Enjoy all your augmented-to-be-worse-than-they-were-when-you-bought-them items. Have fun thinking you are better than everyone else because you're not bitching about this, but down the road when you're bitching about something I can tell you to stop crying and QQ the fuck more, remember this frigging post.

    Report me or ban me, I don't fucking care. You can sit here all you want and call me negative and blah blah blah, but you have to be one of the most annoying posters here, whining about people calling characters toons and whatnot, causing needless drama by trolling and flame baiting people. And yeah, it worked, but that's because I've let it go a hundred times and I'm just flat out not going to anymore. You are on ignore now, I suggest you do the same for me.

      For me, this is the most 'kiddie' part I see about it. S-E got it right to prevent that griefing crap from occurring.

      But Kailea's attitude is making your pre-teen PKer look like a wine connoisseur.

      I dislike augments as much as the next guy, I just feel all this complaining is about news that is actually three months old, and is rather extraneous.

        Investing in a massive new system to add abilities to your equipment, and then only using said system for something random to do. Huh. I suppose it's entertainment and this is a video game...

        So yeah, Ruby Ring today. I got Dark resist +13. The sad thing is: I'm happy that I got a value that high. My sister got DEX+2 on her Noble's Tunic.

        See previous comment: nothing worth augmenting unless it's expensive already. And expensive items give you the most to lose.

        It's not a good system as long as there's no incentive other than morbid curiosity. And really, that's all there is. I'm willing to spend 100k on morbid curiosity once.

        ---

        To everyone who says "don't like it? don't do it." I present:
        Pankration - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more
        Chocobo Circuit - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more
        Clamming - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

        and even
        Scouting the Ashu Talif - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

        Shall I go on?

        (Yes, Pankration finally got some attention solely as a means to make zeni farming easier. And they had to implement something like that just to save such a massive system from obscurity.)

          (found on BG)

          This is fail, but at least they're only like 50k. Still ruined though. At least it wasn't HQ? :/

          The funniest thing is people looking to justify why (some) things are still good. Like the guy who got some Ice Resist, saying "Well I guess it's kinda good for Jormy" as though anyone even fights Jormy. Kinda makes me chuckle a bit. I guess that's to be expected.

            really? really?....lol ok, WoW is so kiddy, it gives everything to you -.- there is no risk in crafting or pretty much anything int he game, that is why I call it kiddy.

            I don't have my head up SE's ass, but I don't bitch and moan over and over, about something that I don't even HAVE to do. You don't have to use the augment system, its there as a choice. if you don't like it, don't use it.

            "omg QQ, WTF, QQ" really just drop it, the system is here to stay, and most likely in the form its in now. If you don't like it, don't use it.

            I am getting tired of all the bitching goign on, evey time something is added to the game. IF your going to really be that emo about every damn update... then stop playing, and stop complaining -.-

              I wasn't thinking about mentioning it, but . . .

              Hexerei Cape - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

              Cape with plenty of potential, ultimately tossed aside for other capes with other purposes (or Cheviot's for the same purpose). Probably the only reason anyone has it at all is because it drops from the same ENM as the Martial Bhuj. Costs a mere 15k on the Carbuncle AH. In my opinion, a prime target for Augmenting. I mean, just imagine that thing with either a few Accuracy or Magic Accuracy on it. That would be pretty sweet.

              • Re: Epic Augments are Epic

                Only costs 15k? Thats a GREAT cape IMO. Esp for any mage as well.

                I just had a thought though...

                Has anyone ever tried to augment anything that has no stat boosts to it? Maybe because theres a stat boost on it, it gaines a negitive boost as well most of the time?

                  I wish WAR had those options. Of my standard DD gear, I can trade:
                  -Hauberk
                  -Amemet +1
                  -Life belt

                  And if I include my tank/enmity equip:
                  -Hermes' Sandals (!)

                  Seeing a distinct lack of things worth augmenting? With the exception of life belt, my choices are all the sorts of things that would have pages of people saying "What kind of an idiot would make that unsellable?" on the interwebs.

                  YM: those links are all DEAD activities in FFXI. No one (or near enough no one) bothers to even touch them. My point: Don't I have enough options to avoid already?

                        M crit doesn't proc that often. You could swap it, but the Genie will still outparse it because of how infrequently crits proc. I think each point of Magical Crit Rate is like .1% chance of 10 MAB. So you'd have to wear it fulltime to really get any benefit from it, and the Genie will outparse that, an extra 1 MAB all of the time easily beats out 10 MAB .1% of the time.

                        If my numbers are right. It may be 1% but I think it's .1%.
