Vagary Woes - Increasingly More Difficult To Run. Lack Of Incentive.

[OmnysValefor]

A super Pld, in the case of this Japanese gentleman, would be a Jobmaster with completed all RME swords and shields. His main has been PLD since forever and he is very good at it.

Enmity is considered broken by many players, there are lots of threads about this subject. In certain events enmity seems to behave randomly at times, even assuming the new normal is not broken, there are clearly errors occurring.

In Vagary and Incursion, there is a mechanic called party-hate. Once agro'd, everyone is on the hate list, as if they had performed some action against the monster themselves. This was SE's answer to the fact that a single PLD could hold half of a delve, bosses included, by himself (when Delve first hit).

What this "Super PLD" was trying to do was 'supertank', which works in most areas. If you only agro the mobs but perform no action against them, they'll hit you forever no matter how much you are healed. In many cases, even if you die, the mobs go back to an idle state, ready to agro the next person that naturally agros them.

What he should have done is agro the mobs, pop sentinel, rampart, warcry and begin healing himself while spreading out Flash and Provoke between things when they were ready to be used again.

Boooooo! Having to go yet another month with no Vagary Campaign. And still no answer to this thread.

C'mon SE! Give us something. A hint of a possible Vagary campaign, or even acknowledgement that the content needs some minor tweaks? Or even putting us in our place and saying "No, Vagary is not changing and there will never be another campaign .. ever, so live with it". Anything along those lines please.

Hi, everyone!

I'm happy to inform you that there are plans in the works for a future Vagary campaign, so please hang in there!

Made my day. Thanks for listening to us, and we will certainly take advantage of the campaign. Please make it more than one week because we can't be doing Vagary every day; I can run my LS through it twice a week max.

Might I suggest that your linkshell starts to do other events other than just Vagary. This would keep members more interested. You can't expect them to hang around for 1 event that they are getting tired of spamming, especially since you can't buy a platemail drop even if you are a Trump. I'm not sure how many times per week you run Vagary, but maybe mix it up and do Vagary only a third of the time, then add in more updated events like Gaes Feet, Ambuscade, even just a relaxing night of breaking up into capacity point parties. This would help turn your shell from an event shell to an everything shell. I would say the only drawback is the time and research it takes to run different events but, judging by your posts, I don't think thats an issue. Not my idea, its how our linkshell operates.
As for having issues with the magic bursts, its really just an issue of removing gear to adapt to the damage required. If your blm is a badass, have him remove body, head,legs,feet and hands. Use tier 1 for the first requirement and tier 2 for the killshot requirement. We usually have these done in 1 set of elementals. Good luck !

Originally we only ran one event a week, which was Vagary on a Tuesday. Over time we started doing Geas Fete on Wednesday or Thursday, and last week we did Reisenjima for the first time. Tomorrow we are going to finish the T1s we didn't do last week. Luckily we have plenty of members so we have different setups for Vagary and Geas Fete each week. I honestly can't do anymore than that because I work two jobs and have a kid, so that's as much as we can do.

Well then, what you are already doing is what I was suggesting anyway, so carry on ! lol
