Moogle egg

[Tsukino_Kaji]

I don't think the JP and NA community teams work together for event planning.

The JPs make thier own events and then tell us about it later.

Greetings!

As many of you have noticed by spying a few eggs scattered about, our Japanese counterparts were holding an Easter Egg Hunt event via the forum in conjunction with in-game elements.

I understand that some of you may be disappointed that it was a Japanese-specific event, but please keep in mind that their event was no different from our previous contests which were for the NA region (for example, there was no “Most Interesting Moogle” or “Moogle’s Law” equivalent on the Japan side).

With that said, we are also planning on utilizing in-game content for future events as well, in addition to what we’ve been doing on the forums thus far! Hopefully that clears things up!

How about a ballista competition on the test server

How about a ballista competition on the test server

This would be awesome and I would like to work towards doing something like that in the future (trust me it has been on my mind!). I can't make any promises, but give me some time and I will see what I can do

How about real PVP?

How about real PVP?

youd rather wow PVP where everyone thinks their the hero and trys to solo the other team, while feeding them points? yea ill take organized PVP any day over random wanabeheros funkin up my PVP games.

im so sick of hitting a random Warsong gulch and having my team get stomped because some freaking Elemental shaman or warlock thinks they can Flag cary more effecively then a holy pally, an resto shaman, or a resto druid >_>

ill take FF11s petra system ANY day over most WOW BG's.

Any Guild Wars Competitive mission or PVP designated area in it beats WoW and FF put together in replayability.

In my opinion FF needs competitive missions not just random kills for epeen flaunting, I dont know about you guy but trowing a rock inside some lil tower is not really fun maybe escort defend a NPC carrying something would make for a more united team feel cus it makes the whole team work together for one goal.

The special individual medals can just go away, the system they use to issue them is not "Balanced" and fair for some jobs past lvl 60 cap so a more even exp/gil/w.e reward for the entire alliance would be far more suitable.

Yes, because of "real PVP" I was definitely referring to WoW.

/sarcasm off.

Is it possible for people not to rage over everything on this forum? "Real PvP" doesn't have to be WoW PvP. Hell, it doesn't have to be like any other game's. SE could make up a completely new one for all I care. As long as it's actually fun at a level higher than 60 cap and we can change gear without being penalized. Pretty much anything other than this current system would be a welcomed change.

This will not go away unless character blinking goes away, because the whole reason the penalty exists is so that you can't abuse blinking to make it hard for people to target you. (a better way of blocking this would be to simply block gear changes, so that people don't unintentionally switch gear and get hit with the penalty or have to make special macros just for ballista)

Besides, it comes with a simple work around: Build a stronger all-around gear set. instead of minmaxing on a per-action basis, for PvP.

Besides this, the pvp system only has three main issues:

-JA/spell/WS balance, mainly at higher levels (new stuff post 75 has not really been considered at all)- it's not terrible, but it could be improved
-Ease of access. the requirements to participate and the process of signing up and the schedule and such is rather cumbersome and deters more on-the-fence people from participating (people I sek tend to lose interest before they've even gained access to a match if they haven't already done the license quest)
-Lack of any real reward whatsoever (Gil only changes hands and isn't gained or lost, EXP is pathetic, and no item rewards, not even pvp-specific ones)

The gameplay itself of ballista is pretty solid and the party-based nature of the game lends to good team tactics and such.

In my opinion FF needs competitive missions not just random kills for epeen flaunting, I dont know about you guy but trowing a rock inside some lil tower is not really fun

You can make anything sound unfun by oversimplifying it. Like your idea for example:

" I dont know about you guy but followin some lil npc around is not really fun"

Maybe the objective seems... sanitized, to you- but whether it's 'some lil tower' or an NPC or undefined pixelized pieces of poo, the objective can be anything- it simply needs to be a device which drives teamwork- which the rook and petras achieve. You can't be a one man hero in ballista- you need to use teamwork to outscore the opponents. Ballista is portrayed as a sport because the three nations are not in direct conflict with eachother. To have PvP more like WoW or other games would require lore which creates a war or other conflict between the factions/cities/whatever that the players are part of.

~snaps fingers~ darn, when you said real pvp the first thing that came to mind was padded armor, helmets and beating people with those foam bats >.> I'm disappointed now.

I just guessed Camate would be on the move.

How about something like as seen on Vana-TV, hmm?

Perhaps throw in a special SlowBrew mode, whatever that would be (as a side-note, that is what my first LS was, and still is called, and it was created many years ago before any Primeval Brews so it doesn't come from that).

You'll need Mayayamn for the commentary, though!
