Limbus suggestion.

[Helel]

That's a lot of balance. Maybe too much.

Just wondering, any plans to add AF1+2 in the future? Something along the lines of af2 and af3; I'm really missing my old PUP look

This suggestion so much, I'd like an upgrade to melee WHM gloves, an improvement on Divine Magic assisting pants, an improvement to spell interrupt reducing shoes, and some more.

Sadly, they already mentioned that they have no plans for this. It should be somewhere in its own thread, not too long ago. I definitely approve of it as well, though.

I vaguely remember something about that, but wasn't it before they decided to redo limbus? Perhaps now they might re-think it?


I too would be in support of it.

IDK, not sure if i want to earn 20k exp in limbus zone's force wearing macro piece gear, especially considering limbus at least in its current form has limited monster spawns.

Happy Friday everyone!

I have some more information on the Limbus renewal I’d like to share:

• Any plans for area instancing?
Changing the non-instanced Limbus after the fact to be instanced would require large changes to the entry area and the process as well as the possibility that it affects other instanced content, so considering these aspects it is not something we can easily do.

As an alternative direction for congestion, we are making it so that every participant will receive the key item when clearing route 1. This removes the need to repeat runs over and over to get everyone this key item and makes it easier for players to get together and challenge the content.
　
• Why are metal chips included in the participation requirements?
This is basically a continuation of the regular Limbus progression flow, receiving ancient beast coins as well as various chips, and using these to progress to the higher tier version of the content.

If we were to eliminate this process, it would definitely become easy to access the higher tier route, but congestion would become an issue. Based on this idea we have set the rewards and would like to maintain the current metal chip requirement.

Instead, we plan on making adjustments to go along with the large amount of ancient beast coins that are consumed. For example, adding a system for exchanging the chips required for the original Proto-Omega/Proto-Ultima battles for ancient beast coins and other ways to obtain them while also making sure there are merits for doing the currently existing Limbus content.
　
• How many ancient beast coins will drop in the higher tier expansion areas?
We are currently adjusting the drops right now, but we are thinking it will be possible to obtain around 40-50 coins if you defeat all the enemies in Temenos/Apollyon.
(What we are imagining is if the drops are good, then you will be able to obtain a metal chip in a single run.)
　
• Any plans for AF+1 revamps?
We understand that there are a lot of requests for this, but we feel that this would take players away from the new routes, so we will only be adding revamped Homam/Nashira and new gear.

Congestion is going to be a nightmare if the new armor is any good at all. I'm not real sure how making it easier for people to participate will do anything but make it worse.

See nyzul uncharted isle. SE took many measures to deal with congestion that never took place, and instead became a nuisance to the event. We can deal with spamming a "???" spot to get into a zone for the short term. Don't waste time with needless measures for something that may not even cause a problem.

Also, buying a metal chip is easy. A single player can consistantly farm 60+ beastcoins solo. If these new areas are designed for 6 players, then each soloing 1 zone 1 day can afford 4-5 runs of the new area.

Instead of fixing the event, you're trying to put in measures to prevent players from using the content.This is completely backwards.

[Insaniac]

Nyzul isn't congested because it's too hard for most players. If it was as accessible as original nyzul it probably would have been an issue.

I think they should just make the effort to instance the new areas. Make a new lobby for the new areas and forget about the old ones. There's plenty of those to go around if people want to farm coins. They could as least make a couple extra copies of each zone.
