Ifrit (Drop rates and lag)

[GunnerIke]

I'm sure this is a common issue but I've put a lot of time and effort into the Ifrit fight.

As of now, I'm 0/24 on weapons with 4 totems. A LS mate is 0/66 with 2 totems. I understand that it is SUPPOSED to be something to strive for, with good reason. What I don't understand is how people are getting 4th and 5th repeats of multiple weapons and there is no way to disperse this to other PT members. The totems in loot pool was a step (albeit minor) in the right direction, but I've seen a total of about 12 totems drop in 24 fights, between 8 people, that's pitiful.

Second issue is lag on eruptions/plumes. Countless times I've been standing INSIDE a party member and get hit yet they won't. Second is I don't know how many times I have been on the other side of the map and gotten hit by an eruption or plume that I'm a goodly distance away from.

Help?

EDIT: Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the fight, and the opportunity to do something like this in FFXIV. Not addressing something that a lot of people have an issue with (to the point of giving up on primal fights) seems to be what happened with the original devs...

Well, I think they've stated that they intend to increase/change the totem drop rate. The loot system probably won't get a full overhaul until 2.0.

Lag is just something you'll have to deal with until 2.0 (hopefully) takes care of it.

I have already given up on primal fights (I didn't even try to do Moogle) because of the absurd loot system. I'm sure SE doesn't notice or care, but that's my own little boycott.

Not sure what else there is to say other than "they're aware of the issues" :/

[GunnerIke]

I appreciate the reply Raldo, but how can this frustrating and aggravating issue be brought to the devs attention? Obviously we are not the only ones that have a problem with this system...

Hello,

I do find it interesting that I can travel all the way away from the cracks until they can no longer appear on my screen.

Then die....

I use the world 'interesting', quite wrongly >.>;

It's actually now gotten to the point that I only do Ifrit runs with friends when they are short on CNJ (CNJ requires least running so less likely to die to lag). The loot is not good enough to warrant trying to fight lag so much.

Most of our members are 5/7 or 4/7 drop rate is not that bad you just unlucky just have to keep trying it took me 13 wins to even get a wep and it was conj one lol.

I dunno..it is kind of bad =/ I went 7/7 in like 3 weeks of doing it almost non stop. The totem drop rate is just sad lol.

Totem and Nut drops should be 100%

Sadly, once no one cares about ifrit/moogle weapons SE will up the drop rate. Since there is nothing else to do right now SE has to make it a time sink.

I was 7/7 before they implemented Totems and since then have done it about 30 more times and have gotten 1 totem to pass on. (got 4 doubles of weapons though)

You would care about ifrit because they making a new version for 2.0 a harder version. I'm guessing they do what they did in FFXI lol turn in your T1 to get a T2 ifrit wep lol So people would still care and do both.

There is a lot of speculation and unverified information in your post. This is how rumors start...

It was post by a dev that they are making a new version of Ifrit Easy mode,Hard mode "which we have now" and Hard Hard mode and each would have there own drops rates so i don't think it speculation at all if you don't believe me find the dev post yourself.

The only thing that i'm speculation is T2 Ifrit weps which looking at the history of SE with FFXI i'm sure it be like that...
