Right now it's pretty bad, boring, and just no fun. Grinding is the name of the game, but there is a fun grind (aka Abyssea) and there is Reives....

Oh? And what good has being critical against SE done you so far? You think people didn't complain hard enough about walk of echoes and campaign, and that's why they suck?

There has never been a shortage of critics for anything. I can't think of a single thing in the game that whining has solved which intelligent discourse could not. I'm not saying you're whining, as long as you're not saying I'm defending SE.

But my point is it's a game, we (mostly) know its rules, and we've both agreed to play it. Let's adventuring together in Vana'diel.

I have seen no reported cap on the number of people who can enter a wildskeeper reive together, and I would imagine they never bothered to program in a software cap on it. However, there is a hardware cap on everything, so I imagine if 5,000 people tried to join the reive, something bad would happen to at least 1 player. But it's probably subject to the same player limitations that Besieged posesses.

I could be completely wrong about this, however. I've been completely obsessed with leveling, meritting, skilling up, and gearing my rune fencer ever since the expansion came out, so I haven't been keeping current on other aspects of it. Good luck to you on finding a more reliable answer though, I'm quite curious myself~

Old merit parties was the most boring thing I have ever done, those sure carried on for a long time. So what in a year people stop doing enough to keep the paths clear SE will adjust it just like they did the other day, or you know you can get a party together to clear the way to do missions. WoEs is still being done by the JPs just because the NAs don't do it doesn't mean it failed.

What pissed people off about WoTG was how long it took to finish the story line so people lost interest and seen campaign as just a a easy way to get some exp with out seeking when you didn't have time to or play using a different play style. When VW was at it's peak it was a easy way to get voiddust to spam more VW or sell to make a nice profit. As for taking zones there was no reason to really try to take the zones. The fight didn't even offer gear worth the effort to do the fight it self with it just being a slightly better side grade to AH gear.

So far this expansion is offering nice gear that is not just side grades but upgrades to many players. I think it is hard enough to keep me playing but not to hard to throw my hands up.

No really - the main problem with WoTG is that there wasn't any gear (the dragging out of the missions was just an aggravation)

If they had made all the allied notes sets as situationally useful as the Iron Ram set a lot more people probably would've done Campaign. Fourth and Cobra were both garbage sets.

Then there was like 2 good pieces per SCNM but the problem was that you have to farm like 12 NMs and then fight a BC with about 10 people every time you wanted a shot at it.

SE has taken notice, it seems. Incoming fix for reives all-around. Should address the problem.

itt "win in 3h" = "give up after 18h"

its hard to find VW city because very few people need it.
it's not a 3hrs fight its a bunch of 2min fights with 2h off runing/waiting

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks a bunch Camate, I know it sucks for those effected, But I'm thankful this was indeed a glitch and that its being fixed, and in the future, we can look forward to spoils even if we get unlucky at the last minute :)

Thank you for the reply, Camate. I'm glad the situation has been remedied!

Camate, you alright.

Thanks for the update Camate, I am glad that at least the developer can acknowledge this issue and are working to rectify it.

Why is there no private message system here...? How's a guy supposed to share things with people?

Good to know this is a glitch, though.

Greetings everyone (and happy Friday!) :)

In case you haven't seen the news announcement yet, I just wanted to let you all know that the bug has been corrected during this morning's version update.

Again, I would like to apologize for this issue and for any inconveniences it may have caused.

Additionally, experience points and Bayld rewards when completing reives have been increased.

Make sure to continue your pioneering efforts to colonize Ulbuka throughout the weekend! I know I will be giving it my all :)

Psssh! I know what you'll REALLY be doing :D

(p.s. You were awesome at PAX East! :) Especially your alt-tab skills were l33t!)

Thank you again for this nice welcoming update, anything that is increasing risk - reward ratio is very welcome indeed. Hope to hear more good updates like this in the future and make SoA one of the best expansion to date, instead of the sorry state of it now. More good updates please!!

Can we be provided information on how the reduction to the bayld cost for the Naakual key items will work? We've been told there will be a reduction as a result of ranking up in coalitions, but can we get more specific information so we can work towards that goal in the meantime (is it better to rank up to contributor in one or two coalitions or better to rank up to probationer in all 6, etc.)?

Did one of these didn't get a drop because the game thought I didn't have high enough evaluation. All I got was the KI. There was about 120 people doing it and mobs almost died as soon as they spawn only could get a couple hits in at most.

Seriously though 100k, well 95k with discount is still too much bayld, reives are just so boring.

Hugs! Today went thru wildskeeper reive in foret! 4 hrs! 95k bayld! We won! I had room, did not D/C, got a hemlock, and no gear no weapon drop. Yes I have been there twice before so I have mask, and rng crossbow, but there are 3 pieces I do not have. Bst/whm so yes I spent time and money to get and help thru the 4 hrs, if it gave me the hemlock why did I not get a gear or weapon piece? Spoke with very nice GM bublex, and I spoke with several friends who do wilds more than me, and basically SE doesn't have the wilds fight set to where if you have the mask, and it wants to give you the mask, it should give you next thing you don't have or tell you even that you would have gotten a mask. We all work hard to earn our bayld for that one shot at 2 to however long it takes "7 hrs?" of wildskeeper NM fight. It's hard enough also for all of us to stay alive at end, not d/c, make room for item, to just come up with no gear/wpn drop, or msg about it, just the material item only. Hugs to you all, and yes, i'm earning bayld right now, so I can try again :)

I'm almost certain this is true for every drop in the game that has a Rare flag.

I'm dissapointed in the FFXI community for wanting this fixed, after seeing all the XI fanboys bashing XIV for not being "hardcore."

It's almost like there are different factions within the community.

And yeah, no, 4 hour fight to get nothing takes things to extremes. I realize this game has been beyond this point before, and famously so, but just because they've done worse doesn't mean this isn't pretty bad in itself.

If there was a chance that this would happen to me, I'm sorry but I wouldn't even do it if all I do is waste 4 hours+ of my life for it to end up getting -nothing- at all.
