If there's even a Japanese version already, you should post a link to it, because it's not even on the JP POL site yet.
However, they are conducting a JP-exclusive survey about gameplay styles to help them decide what content to focus on in the future. -
12-02-2013, 12:34 AMAnjouBecause NA/EU's opinions have never mattered.Quote:

well if that's the case then why did she use JP-Exclusive...?
-
12-02-2013, 03:34 AMEdythBecause I tried to take the survey from the JP POL site with a web broswer translator, but it told me I'm from a different region, and I can only take surveys for my own region.Quote:

Either way I hope there is no next log in campaign
-
12-02-2013, 10:54 AMEdythI hope they get way more creative with the prizes. Enough of the same old stuff.Quote:

-
12-02-2013, 03:14 PMFaeQueenCoryThere's at least one more. It's in the Dec Update Announcement by Matsui.Quote:

Though Hauteclaire is a bajillion times prettier.
It's now just a vanity item... just like Nightfall...
I think the only pieces from the freebie code that *might* be useful nowadays... are the Nocturnus set pieces.... buuuuut even then... I think there's probably better options atm. -
12-03-2013, 01:17 AMAnjouNever was going for stats, I made a goal a few years ago to get it, I got almost everything else on my list, I need to get 1 step closer to finishing off that list of goals.Quote:

I'd go for nocturnus if only because it's the least likely to be able to even be gotten nowadays. Unless they meant only one of the whole thing and not one of each category they broke it up into. Then it will possibly depend on if the skc being 25 was a typo since iirc the jp version said 50
-
12-04-2013, 01:55 AMFaeQueenCoryIt's so refreshing to see this nowadays.... good for you!Quote:

Probably gonna get Nightfall... because:
1) at 1 regardless of category + SKC exchange table = vanity giveaway
2) Like you said, Nocturnus and Nightfall are nigh impossible to get atm cause of the entry restrictions of the BCNM.
3) I don't like having 1/2 a set of things.
and the most important reason:
4) I'm a size queen and it's a GS. >:3 -
12-04-2013, 02:09 PMdasva
Plus with all the macc and stuff we keep getting on gear maybe the terror will proc more on old content!

12-04-2013, 07:35 PMStompa
I think more new furnishings would be good in login campaign, and no more hnm pops lol.
I'm getting 50k conquest points with my email code anyway, because I want a Patriarch Protector's Shield. -
12-04-2013, 10:14 PMAnjouomg I have been itching for a new look in my mog house, this gets my support!Quote:

New furnishings would be cool.... But I don't expect it to happen... outside of maybe a new statue.
But if this is the very last one (December afterall) I bet it will have EVERYTHING.
Or at least everything from the last campaigns.
But only if it's the last one. -
12-06-2013, 02:10 PMJeska
I'd like to see emp boots added to the items redeemed by points, you hardly ever see a boot hunting party shout these days and trying to solo takes ages, the npc that exchanges three odd ones for the ones you want is nice but really getting any boot drops can take awhile.
-
12-06-2013, 02:59 PMTeraniku
How about adding Forgotten Journeys etc. for 10 points / piece, so for someone who needs all 50 it would cost them 500 points.
-
12-07-2013, 05:18 AMNumquamThen there would nothing to sell!Quote:

- Alizarin Yggzi I
- Alizarin Yggzi II

- Square of damascene cloth
- Spool of malboro fiber
- Piece of oxblood
(What in the f-....are you kidding me? I could get malboro fiber from a few kills on Byakko in no time, these are SO NOT WORTH 2000 POINTS. This category needs to be reworked, because there is -no- excuse as to damascene cloth, Oxblood -worth 100k but that's not really an issue for most of the playerbase at this point.- being worth 2,000 points, meaning -half- of your login points going into one of these items.)
December is shaping up! /sarcasm. -
12-07-2013, 08:40 AMDraylo
How about you comment on what items you would like to see on there instead of vague comments? These are free items you get just for logging in, you can choose not to get any of it. Did you want to see relics and mythics on there or something? I'm really trying to understand what benefit you gain from acting like a complete tool in regards to this game. Condemning the entire December update simply because they didn't have the items you wanted in a free item give away?
-
12-07-2013, 09:22 AMAnjouWell for one I'd like them to not have the 2000 point items worth 2000 points when I can just go into sky and kill Byakko for a few fibers, is it -really- worth wasting 2000 points over? If anyone is the tool here Draylo, you might want to watch what you say, because I'm just giving my honest opinions. The items I -wish- were on this list were the relic armors from dyna's OTHER THAN X AND B. Is that a bad thing? Is it? Yeah they used the same B and X kupons all the way until this campaign, now people can't buy any further. It's as if they just stuck categories of items on a dart board and threw darts at it to figure things out. People won't be able to upgrade their empy armor (I already have seals to +1 empy armor across all 20 sets, I could care less about myself) because SE decided to take that out. Literally do you see -anything- of value aside from another line maker in Behemoth Dominion?Quote:

Wait what, did SE suddenly remove Abyssea from the game? They can upgrade their AF3 just fine... all they have to do is the content that it was designed under. I actually initially thought this campaign was a bad idea because it removes content from the game for people. People love skipping things like Abyssea but its actual content the game offers. The 2000 category is terrible, yes. Idk who would waste their points on that when you can easily obtain it. SE has always done silly design choices like that, look at past mog bonanza item spots etc. I'm just saying it would be more constructive to list what you'd like to see instead of constant whining, as if that doesn't happen enough already on these forums. I'd personally like to see more vanity items, people only got one chance at the moogle costumes. Vanity items should be more of a focus, not allowing people to skip old content imo.
-
12-07-2013, 10:12 AMAnjouOk then I'll go into a full detailed post about what I'd -like- to see, but oh wait, they aren't going to consider them, because I don't live in Japan and they can't easily read what I post.Quote:

- Sacred Kindred's Crest
- Levigated Rock
- Training Manual
- Copse Candy
- Prize Powder
(Because 300 points for a single use costume item is ridiculous, plus hardly anyone does Meebles so might as well add the powder in so people can be all boxy. Also I think that the value of the seals at this point is meaningless, because obtaining them is so simple that people can manipulate that system... The current system having 1 Sacred Kindred Crest at 100 points, I can buy 3 Beastman Seal for 30 points total, and convert that into an SKC. So I can either waste 100 points per SKC, or spend 30 on 1 Beastman Seal, wait for the December 10th update, and swap 400 seals for SKC's. Is this starting to make sense?)
()
30 points:
- Seasoning Stone
- Fossilized Bone
- Fossilized Fang
100 points:
- Trainee Axe
- Trainee Burin
- Trainee Gloves
- Trainee Hammer
- Trainee Knife
- Trainee Scissors
- Trainee Sword
- Trainee's Needle
- Trainee's Spectacles
- Mog Bonanza Kupon DS (Dynamis San d'Oria Relic armor.)
- Mog Bonanza Kupon DB (Dynamis Bastok Relic armor.)
- Mog Bonanza Kupon DW (Dynamis Windurst Relic Armor.)
(Admit it, the quests are so simple to do at our average level of strength and with a whole community to provide information, there is 0 challenge to obtaining these. It'd be nice for rookies to have a head start in crafting anyways instead of them being subjected to seeing crafters who tell them they spent like 70k guild points for their crafting gear.)
300 points:
- Mog Bonanza Kupon AW (Ark Weapon, save menu space and just use this.)
- Mog Bonanza Kupon O
- Mog Bonanza Kupon S1 (For +1 items)
(These should be added because it'd save them space to allow for more items to be added.)
500 points:
- Rounsy Wand
- Kingdom Stables Collar
- Federation Stables Scarf
- Republic Stables Medal
(Reasonable as these are just for travel purposes and only good for saving time or recharging if you used up your charges from Halloween's event.)
1000 points:
- Beastly Shank
- Blue Pondweed
- Honey Wine
- Monkey Wine
- Singed Buffalo
- Roast Buffalo (I believe this is the item.)
- Genbu's Kabuto
- Suzaku's Sun-Ate
- Kirin's Osode
- Byakko's Haidate
- Seiryu's Kote
(Because if the HNM's get pops, should allow people to spawn the beasties in ZNM's as well.)
2,000 points:
(I can't think of anything to add here)
NEW CATEGORY:
4000 points:
- Ridil
- Hauteclaire
- Hofud
- Algol
- Seveneyes
- Valkyrie's Fork
- Byakko's Axe
- Seiryu's Sword
- Suzaku's Scythe
(Yeah you get a good item, but at the cost of all -or a vast majority- of your points.) -
12-07-2013, 12:08 PMdasva
None of those 4k items are actually good anymore just vanity items. Plus given that sky god pops are so common now they sell for like 5k each the worst drop from those mobs being 4k points seems a tad crazy.
-
12-07-2013, 04:16 PMNaktsYeah, I've been confused ever since I saw the list. 2k for npc garbage?Quote:

Which will probably only get so much worse due to the 119 happening tomorrow... >_>
I don't think 2k points is gonna affect prices though....
And for the last Login Campaign... I'd have rather seen Arise and Meteor at a 2-4k point tag. -
12-11-2013, 04:54 AMdetlef
I thought about the login rewards, and some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't. I like things like Beastly Shanks because even if you have the pop item, you still have to go out and kill Behemoth (please make multiple ??? SE). Likewise, Sacred Kindred's Crests makes sense because it allows you do the SKC battlefields. You still have to do the work. Even thing like Yggzi beads makes sense because you still have to kill Delve mega bosses.
What doesn't make sense to me is just giving us items. I'll gladly take Empyrean seals and +2 items but I don't think it's good for the game. It's just obsoleting Abyssea. It's bad enough that Empyrean weapons are almost always the worst of the 3 RME (and their WS are no longer exclusive). Why kill seal/+2 farming too? I like the idea of ZNM triggers, but I think T4 pops is too generous. Something along the lines of T3 trophies is probably more reasonable.
I know people are rightfully bagging on the 2k items this time around, but it might be worthwhile for Beetle Blood. My understanding is that the rest of the upgrade items have a 100% drop source somewhere in the game (KS30 for Malboro Fiber, for example) or are common enough that prices aren't crazy. A lot of 109 armor is going to be upgraded to 119 in the coming months, and there will have to be an influx in upgrade items from somewhere.
