U may use any gear that is available in the game inc Relics, Mythic and emperyans.

Then once/if you do this can we get a screenshot of you obtain the gear and how many runs it took you.

They'd just use god mode.

I'd rather them not have to delay Legion/Ch4 Voidwatch because of your request, knowing how limited their time is.

Wouldnt matter...they still wouldnt be able to make it to F100 in 30 minutes without manipulating the ??? jumps or manipulating all free floors.

Also, do it on a PS2.

No, not for any logical reason. I'm just suggesting that because I am a hateful person.

Make a video of it without zooming in to the time and the day, make the video last the full 30 minutes. If there are 7-9 floor jumps only, the video will be pointless and they don't even need to bother making it.

Personally, if it is to prove just how quick glanced the content development is I would much rather delay up coming content to show that current content is beyond a reasonable scope of accomplishment. This way it would make them stop and look over the content more thoroughly so it doesn't have to be revisited as an after thought. Their track record of having to go back and fix something so far is pretty indicative that they aren't spending enough time on it before releasing and obviously the test server isn't giving them enough data to work with either (not that the test server even has the full scope of the data to test in the first place).

The dev's aren't the best players. They prob got to floor 60. What they should do is hold a contest for the best to try to get 100 on the test server, and see how well they do.

I believe it was stated in another Thread before, but luck plays a major role in droprates already. The content as it is now is not worthwhile playing unless your masochistic or desperate. The idea of a revamped Nyzul was good, the realization on the other hand was poor.

And the official reply by the developers team that the stats on the gear need to be reevaluated in order of "balance" if the content gets eased a bit made me actually laugh long and hard.

I think the point for such a challenge is basically rather meaningless due to the tiny little fact that it's how they want it to be so there's nothing for them to prove, really. Not getting up there is how it should be, you see?

Dynamic- I mean Random battlefield == Fun.
Random + Time-sink == Challenge.
Put those all together and we get Balance!

Seriously, I will never understand such fondness for random and luck based progression.
It's not fun, that is all.

Obviously there is a need for time-sink, for people to stay playing but the way it's mostly done in FFXI is in my humble opinion wrong, so this is nothing new, but I would have expected the new things to learn from the old, and not make them worse and now I'm starting to into rambling_mode, saying things said a thousand times to no avail so I'll just stop wasting my time now. ^^;

To OP, instead of just asking them to waste time offer some suggestions THEN, explain why you think something needs fixed.

Define best. I'm assuming you mean "Take some of the biggest 'names' with the best gear in ffxi and throw them together in a party"? Putting aside the fact that household names no longer exist in ffxi (the vast majority of the top is around the same skill level, the game's just not hard), it still wouldn't be ideal.

Strong teamwork is just as important as strong individuals in Nyzul. The best groups out there are going to be ones that have worked together for years already, not ones that are thrown together on the test server and comprised of people who have never worked together before. It wouldn't matter how strong each individual member was if their teamwork is green.

We're talking about people who have defeated the Absolute Virtue -the right way- back in the days of 75. And I bet they haven't puked even once whilst tackling Pandemonium Warden too.
My 14 gil on video popping up within next three days.

Or they just happened to have a small garbage can handy. I bet it's still around the office now, with "平和のバケツ" written on the side in Sharpie to commemorate that noble time of service.
