Well I suppose the entire game outside of Delve is inaccessible then. And since Delve isn't accessible to everybody then it must be a lonely existence for some.

Greetings!
I have some news on upcoming adjustments to a couple of colonization-related activities. While the specifics are not quite finalized as of yet, I would like to share an overview.
- Rewards for Coalition Assignments
Currently looking into having an additional bonus applied to rewards based on certain requirements.
For example, bonuses are added to rewards depending on the distance or bonuses are added depending on bivouac conditions.
- Maintaining Bivouacs
In addition to adding bonuses to Coalition Assignment rewards, we plan on making the adjustments to lengthen the time frame in which you can maintain bivouacs.
More specifically, just like the adjustments that were made to slow the decay of the colonization rate, we will be performing a similar adjustment for bivouacs.
Also, besides these two adjustments, we are also looking into making it possible to restore the bivouac materials by trading gil to the NPCs at each of the bivouacs.
- Bivouac Conditions
It’s rather difficult to display this via the Region information tab when considering that we would have to make this possible to confirm from all platforms.
However, we are planning to make it possible to check on bivouac conditions by setting up NPCs at Coalitions, frontier stations, and frontier bivouacs.

A quick way to also drive up desire to do assignments nad rieves is to make an npc where players to convert Byalds into Plasm into a 50:1 ratio or something of that level. It'll provide incentive to do lower content whilst making a connection to the higher end through some in game medium. This also allows players without the resources to farm plasm(lack of job preferred by playerbase, or weapon) to make headway into the content that will probably be obsoleted. This also helps alleviate concerns about the new ammunition from plasm to accessible.
If there is concern about accessibility by lesser geared players to gain this ability throw in a formal requirement such as defeating a wildskeeper rieve or successfully defeat any delve NM.

It doesn't take much to know when someone is special. After 5 minutes if the person is alive and well you have a keeper, if they are dead and obnoxious then toss em like two day old leftovers.
Maybe just have it so you can buy the shards with bayld? Then you can convert them to plasm if you want. They are kinda rare, and the potential to sell them for gil , so they would probably have a high price.
This is an outstanding ideaHave reives grant Rank Points on equiped Delve weapons. Like giving airlixirs on reive completion, depending on colonization rate. (The lower the colonization rate, the higher the chance for an airlixir.)
Regarding bayld for shard conversion:
This won't happen specifically due to the reason that this would be the new RMT money machine. They would be spamming reives, get bayld, buy shards, and sell shards like mad to all the plasm hungry people out there. It's a good idea but sadly i don't think it will come to fruition.

As long as we're bringing up ways to make the region metagames worth doing, any thoughts on things that might make people more inclined to help out with the other middlelands, past and near east?
