No feedback? Expected to look in the forums and see some ideas/feedback flowing.
Only thing I would say is how about some new battles that are solo.
I guess that would be kind of hard to do for certain jobs. But, most of my limited playtime involves getting on to help people attain their weapons. Actually, most in my group do that. So, gathering any of them to do fights is kind of hard. Would be nice to have some solo battles to burn seals on. Not asking for a ton of them. Maybe 3 - 6 battles aimed at solo.
Anyway, not feeling like it is an overwhelming need. Would just be nice.

When they said new battlefields I was hoping for something more. New BCNMs is kinda meh at this stage, especially given how un-impressive the last ones were.

Perhaps the rewards we can get from Shami will be worthwhile.
I guess people will be much less likely to allow lower level players to lot crests in an abyssea pt for their lvl cap quest.

Old KSNM 30's are becoming easier and easier to solo as the level cap rises, so it's more likely those will fill the niche you're looking for.

So long as drop slots aren't taken up by useless crap like seals, wood, and rocks.
Hard to get excited about another round of bcnms

It's More Like New Burning Circle Notorious Monsters in Old Battlefields...

I'd be more excited if they let Shami warp you straight to the battlefield. Running to Bearclaw Pinnacle or Monarch Linn every time is off-putting.
I'd happily accept a once per game day orb restriction for anyone using the warp if SE feels this would break game balance.

Totally agree. The bcnms they added last time could have stood to have their treasure pools beefed up. Alot.

I dunno, the items from the last BCNMs go for close or over 1 mil, good enough for me.

If they drop. I've done Kindergarten Cap about 20 times (because it's easy to do on bst) and I've never even seen the hairpin drop. I've gotten the knife once. The rest of the time I've gotten synth mats and fewell. Since most of the mats are available in abyssea gold boxes, they're not worth a lot.
My luck is probably horrendous but opening a chest and getting 5-6 items in a treasure pool is pretty underwhelming. It honestly doesn't cover the time it took me to get to the bc in the first place.

No one will be able to beat the BCMs. Can't use Brews.
But seriously, I understand how some can be skeptical about the new bcms, seeing as how the last batch wasn't as rewarding as it possibly could have been.
However, BCMs have a history of having rewarding items that had a lot of value, pre-abyssea. Some items still do.
I think the best thing to do keep an open mind about the new BCMs, and save judgments till all the evidence is in, as it were.
