It would be really nice wherein it works like NI: where the job you take in determines what is the first type of cape to drop.
(so you bring whm, the first cape you get is whm, after that it's all random.)
I think this would promote more variance in what you see in rieves.
At least for ppl to get the capes they want/need. lol

Greetings,

A have a couple of points to follow-up on based on plans that were shared yesterday.

First is the issue where certain areas are being focused on more than others. The development team is aware that there are areas that players are giving a lot of attention to, while other areas are not seeing as much action.

While the development team is still discussing this, they would like to add new objectives to each area. For example, adding new job accessories and elements that are tied to speeding up coalition growth as well as making it easier to complete coalition assignments.

Second is the concern that returning the HP of obstacles and enemies to the state prior to the July and August version update will make it difficult to solo or low-man colonization reives. This is exactly why we will be adding ally NPCs and the battle balance will be set such that it's possible to do reives solo or with a few people.

We've also seen feedback asking to make it so appealing NPCs join the fights, while on the other hand there are others who are mentioning that adding NPCs will reduce the amount of Bayld you can acquire. We'll continue to forward your comments on this, so please let us know your thoughts!

Ok I have wanted this so here goes:

Geomancer's Indi and Geo spells would be so much more useful if they affected everyone in a Reive, and not your own party only!
I can understand party-only for outside of reives, but some other jobs get out-of-party functionality where it is not normally the case, in reives and campaign, but not Geomancer. I have often been in reives for long periods with my "looking for party" flag up, and gotten no invites, so just did them solo.
Well that means any buffs that I have are only going to me, (Only geo-refresh and geo-regen because what am I going to do with strength/agi/etc on Geomancer?), and almost all debuffs for the roots or rocks that I have to fight because I'm solo, are not very useful. (Try geo-frailty on a knotted root and see if you can tell you're doing more damage to it ^_^)

Please please please~

Because it would make people go on other jobs than DD and thats a horrible thing apparently to devs.

What? You want a performer to essentially become more powerful when provided with a larger audience? Madness, sir! Madness!

I'd like to see it easier to do the Colonization Reives at the bottom of Marjami Ravine. There's a lot of players who don't know that underground tunnel at (J-10) to the bottom level even exists. For the ones who do, they are discouraged to do them because it's a long walk back out. There's no bivouac or tunnel back up on the west side meaning you have to turn around and walk all the way back. It would encourage players to complete all 7 Colonization Reives if it was easier to get a cycle down down.

Add a 5th bivouac down there and add another tunnel exiting to the west.

I'm sure the BSTs, PUPs, and others who solo or lowman those reives would prefer to keep them a "secret" from the rest of the mob running through Marjami killing reives so fast that no one gets any evaluations. The incentive to do those two reives is that there's usually only 1-6 people there instead of 20+, and they can be killed slower so everyone can get evals.

Also, if NPC helpers are added to colonization reives, please please PLEASE don't allow them to be able to damage the obstructions. Even before the HP nerfs, some colonization reives died much faster than they should have. If the NPCs will be able to damage the obstructions, at least make it where the NPCs don't appear/start fighting until someone enters the reive. Otherwise we're going to have times where we walk up to a reive expecting to farm bayld only to find the NPCs have already beat the obstruction down to nearly dead (or killed it completely).

Now that I've discovered a new strategy, I'm really enjoying soloing reives for fun. It's a nice way to solo bayld.

It's just annoying when you've got parties burning them, seems like a wasted opportunity for exp and bayld. I guess they're just after the drops?
