Big trouble with Reives

too many people leeching and duo with smn in the new areas takes so long that Ionis wears.... i better be getting a cape for this...

.....aaaaand no pretty much soloed that rieve which took well over an hour and got 2x iron sand.... fix this please!

When they updated colonization, they said they fewer people equals fewer points. So it can be assumed that solo will greatly decrease your chance of getting back drops.
Which in itself is wrong, they should be much higher then they are now regardless. Colonization is going to die out again just like it did before and backs are going to become inaccessable.
Personaly I spent 20+ hours doing marjami and all I got was the pup back. What SE needs to do is make them also obtainable from the pioneer colalition, since they drop from reives. Some kind of Clear the Way thing.

What they need to do is raise the rates on the backs dropping while also providing the back for the job you are playing as a priority drop, meaning if you will get a back, it will be for the job your on, if you have it already, then you get a random back.

Colonization is probably going to die out eventually, but if everybody were to get the cape they wanted on the first try, it would die out much faster.

Only issue that I have with this idea is that it would be horrible when trying to get a cape for say, BRD. Can't do any decent damage on BRD, and can't do a great deal of curing either. Coupled with very few points for buffing and enfeebling = minimum results in every appraisal, and low chance of qualifying for a drop.

Luckily, most of the backs aren't worth the inv space anyway.

What? He said that too many people are either leeching or duoing with smn. That is, you are either in Marjami where you struggle to get an evaluation because reives end too quickly, or you're stuck in Yorcia where it's hard to get enough people so you end up killing reives with pet jobs. Either way, you are in the zone so long that your ionis wears.

I don't see colonization dying out soon. I mean people still need to earn Bayld for wildskeeper Reives. And "IF" the devs keep adding more bosses, more equipment pieces, at the rate it takes to earn enough Bayld and defeat the new naakuals, this could carry everyone over for awhile. Also judging by how they keeping adding new maps, maybe more areas will continue to be added. Next update will give us AF for Rune and Geomancer plus I believe they are adding in more storyline.

if you dont like give them your feedback here.
