Hello! Can you please give out more tickets for the fan gathering, or let people transfer tickets if they aren't going? I have tried to get a ticket, had one transfered to me that was confirmed but I don't think it works like that. What can we do if one party wants to transfer the ticket to someone else!

Can second the above. I had no idea t hat an RSVP "ticket" didn't mean I was going.

mireau is way overtuned and unnecessary. waste of time to try to kill it when you could have already earned your 80 points the old way. please fix.

I think maybe they just wanted to break every single server's perfect DINM kill streak lol.

Thank you for adjusting the bst ready times to 1 second!

Hey Matsui,

So can we talk about how DI is now TOTALLY BROKEN. Your new pet, Mireu, is WAY over the top. So far in the reported data there is one confirmed kill on Phoenix and that tool 117+ players present. That's a little excessive and would nearly be impossible for lower population severs to down. Pretty sure ya'll angle is "Get the DI gear and vanquish it that way!", but it really should be a requirement to bring these things down. This really needs to be addressed, either that or allowed the spawn separately from the normal DINMs. No only does this pretty much assure a chain break and whatever "Effect" that chain has, but also locked up any other progression on the SERVER for an hour while this thing sits here. This really needs to be addressed, as I thought we were past the days of Tanaka and Absolute Virtue... This kind of thing needs to be saved for the Master Tier fights instead of thrown into the middle of community content.

whaa-whaa i cant solo new content the day it comes out. probably with trust buffs and no domain invasion gear.

The issue isn't that people can't solo it, or that it is too difficult. The issue is that DI was an accessible and consistant daily time sink for the last 2 months. Sure, a lot of people don't like dailies, but you could plan around having 40 minutes(25 post spawn change, which was great!) to clear it. Now, if you set aside 25 minutes to do it and this dragon happens to pop, your plans are shot unless a ton of people happen to show up to down it. Suddenly, you're waiting an extra 40 minutes and it's an hour+ to do your daily cap.

Tack on that there's apparently no extra reward for it, and we've lost a whole lot while being given nothing in return. That's a quick ticket to upsetting people in any game.

You guys have made it take much longer to get points whenever the new dragon pops. Please move this to somewhere else or GREATLY increase what it gives. Like maybe a weeks worth of points.

Honestly i had no idea t his was going to be a lotto pop on DI NMs. Before the update came out, i thought it was just going to be a new NM in a new location.

Yeh. that is what I thought too.

Why did you make Siren so small compared to cutscenes and other avatars?

The new dragon is the biggest waste of 60 mins. I have better things to do in both in the game and life, than to spend 60 minutes hardly denting this. The daily cap of 80, made DI doing this daily bad enough.. and now this dragon.. I just warp out now when it pops.

Make DI Great Again...

My personal idea is to have the new dragon pop randomly as a bonus kill and time saver as it's very difficult to get killshot on the dragon or on the last monster on the first wave. The majority of players are doing 4 domain invasions daily.
Reduce the HP of the new dragon so it takes about as long to kill as the others, and simply have it pop concurrently with a domain inviasion main dragon at random, so the group killing there can continue doing so and saves travel time.

Make it pop randomly rather than every set kill count. The reality is majority of players do domain invasions for the daily points then leave immediately, the event itself is a time sink., Any amount of time saving like the recent tweaks to dragon timers would be greatly appreciated.

Once you guys correct the mechanics of it, the spawn rate should be increased too. If it’s not 1 out of 3 chance then you will never average faster point accumulation. Assuming that’s the whole purpose of the dragon and not some gimmick to slow us down a few times a day.

This right now though is bad for so many things such as:

Nearly unbeatable because of the spike flails being caused by trusts or players who want to grieve others which kills the whole zone.

Because it’s not being killed it stops all domain invasion progression while waiting for it to despawn.

Because of the above it negates the last update you did to make point accumulation faster.

Appearance rate is so low even if you wanted to fight the dragon you could spend hours doing invasion and never see it.

Point above means even if you fix the dragon players still will rarely ever get points done more efficiently since you could go days/weeks and never see it.

In addition, these mass player battles cause extreme lag and make the content non playable for some people.

And that’s stuff just off the top of my head.

Domain Invasion was tedious enough before this with the daily "obligation"/limit to points. now if Mieru shows up, it's GG time to warp out and find something else to do for 30+ min. I am glad I am almost done with accessories so I can leave this content in the dust; it shows a complete lack of respect for the time investment of the players and is completely backwards as a method for people with less time to "catch up."

Hello Devs:

I want to add that the new Domain Invasion dragon is a disappointment. You just recently revitalized Domain Invasion. It's fun! I love competing for the killing blow and it gives me something beneficial to do when I only have an hour or so after work to play (like tonight). But that new NM spawned on my first Domain Invasion and that means I can't do Domain Invasion for an hour. Fenrir will not kill this thing. And it's unlikely to organize the 100-200 people necessary. My recast timers are broken. BPs are all messed up. I can't do Domain Invasion. What happened????

-Velner

Please remove this mob from the game or have him spawn in a different zone. Mireu is invincible on Asura. It makes Domain Invasion dead content for good AND bad players.

The revert of your nerf from last month is appreciated, but still not there. I suggest removing all delay between ready and activation. You need to just floor the ready recast time down to 10 seconds through merits. Right now you are forcing the master to wear non ilevel gear next to the pet in an AOE and enfeeble heavy game. In short, you are ENCOURAGING the master to fight AWAY from the pet. Please stick to what you say you are trying to do, give us encouragement to fight next to the pet.

BST needs the level cap of ALL pets raised to 119 and the pet buff needs to effect the entire party. SMN already has better buffs that can effect the entire party. We also need new pets that are good at enfeebling and good at enhancing the party. Most of the buffs now are laughable. If you at least make them AOE buffs for the party/alliance. That would help.

We are in a bit of a strange situation where all DPS pets are completely useless right now. They hurt your overall DPS to use a ready move. Please do something about that. The only niche is AOE dmg.

Pleas remove the job abilities Charm, Tame, and Gauge from the game. They serve no purpose and just take up space. I would like it if you made gauge do the same thing as /checkparam but on the target including mobs. Please give beast feral howl and bst affinity naturally. (without merits).

Please make reward recast time around 15 seconds. Any fight where the target uses amnesia/petri/para makes the pet worthless.

In my opinion, bst is the weakest job in 6 man party content. Which is the vast majority of content. IF you do not plan on further changes/updates for bst, I recommend making it so that you can trade in BST exclusive gear and exchange it for equivalent gear to other jobs. That way those of us who have invested TONS of time into the job can at least go another direction without a complete waste of our efforts.

On the new dragon Meiru, so many people were trying to kill it on my server Bismark for over 30 minutes my window slowed to a crawl on my fairly modern PC, assuming it's a single core/FFXI limitation.
But the short of it is, after a while, my window crashed and I don't know if I even got credit.

Edit: I got credit for the kill.

This leads me to my next suggesiton. Under 'currencies' add daily domain invasion points so players can track if they have capped their daily points yet, as well as see their total points without going to norg.

The new DI dragon is over the top and needs to be toned down a bit.

* Cap the scaling on player group size and reduce the HP to something more reasonable for a large group to reliably down it in 15min or less.
* Remove it from counting towards the kill count. This would at least remove the server-wide penalty of breaking the kill streak.
* Change it so that points gained from killing it do not count towards the daily cap. There is currently no positive incentive for participating in the fight (since you could almost assuredly gain the additional 60pts to hit cap by killing normal dragons in less time pre-update,) and the way that it works currently actively discourages players from doing more fights in the miraculous occurrence of defeating it.

Doing the above would change the current negatives of the fight to positives. There would be incentive for players who've already capped out for the day on normal dragons to participate in defeating it, we'd be capable of defeating it without the entire population of the server showing up to fight, and the penalty against all players for not defeating it would be removed.

I know it might be a bit much to ask, but perhaps instead of a random/lotto spawn off of the normal dragons, it could be converted into it's own separate timer with a unique spawn location? I don't think that most of us mind challenging optional content, so if it spawned in it's own area, similar to Quetzalcoatl in Reisenjima, on it's own spawn timer unrelated to the normal DI dragons so that it does not interfere with the content flow that we've gotten used to, then it could be positioned as high tier content aimed at higher end players who are strong enough to justify breaking the daily point cap. It would be kind of cool to essentially have a new ilvl world HNM.

tl;dr: Please convert this new NM to an actual bonus fight that provides rewards to all who participate in defeating it regardless of their daily cap, and make it defeatable within a reasonable amount of time on all servers.

Do you guys test these updates before you implement them? Because for years, so many updates could have easily been balanced had you allowed real players to test in some fashion.

I know we used to have a test server.. but would it be so difficult to invite a few players to another server to try things before you haphazardly throw things out?

Watched a friend of mine the other day have a go at Mireu with just two other people. After 20 minutes, they took 1% of health off it. Said to him.. you're probably best warping out.

So Mireu is not only a huge roadblock, its 'rewards' are pointless. You can already cap out points in one battle if you do it right. Yeah sure, it requires timing and a bit of luck, but capping out
80 daily points wasn't difficult with the current system. So by adding Mireu to fix a non-existent problem, you created wasteful content that is absolutely useless. It also has to be the first
dragon you fight that day for you to get the full benefit.. but only if it can be killed quicker than if you postponed your daily DI time til later.

Even rewarding us 500-1000 DI points that do NOT count towards the daily cap, still wouldn't be enough for two reasons:

1) Many players have already bought the majority of the accessories you listed. Unless you plan on adding even more rewards for this content? Then it's pointless and only helps
those who just recently returned. But by doing this, you would be actively discouraging them from accumulating vorseals; which was really difficult to do under the original DI system.

2) Some big servers will struggle to beat this in the allotted time due to a lack of coordination, as Spike Flails severely hinders progress and the time runs out.
Players will yell at each other for doing it wrong. Not only that, but trust songs/rolls overwriting other players stronger songs/rolls is a huge flaw in this content.

And on the smallest servers, gathering enough players to have a go at Mireu is a difficult task. You know that on a small server you're looking at an average population
of 200-400 players at any given time, and at least half of those are mules, RMT, or players who are away/busy elsewhere? So it's either down to a well coordinated
linkshell doing it entirely by themselves, or literally the entire server needs to show up and hope they can down it in time.

Honestly, I would just delete this NM and start again. Put it in as a new high tier battlefield which has nothing to do with Domain Invasion whatsoever.
Anyone who got this title already, should be given a free orb/key item so they can fight this at their leisure. You tried to shoehorn something really challenging
in to this content, when there was no space. Like others have said, it desperately needed to be its own spawn which isn't a random occurrence,
and the rewards had to be super rich to entice players to come together to down this monstrosity.

If you were planning on adding new Domain Invasion gear? I wouldn't bother. Make it an incredibly rewarding high tier battlefield with only one difficulty,
and make it so all 18 players can choose what they want from vanquishing it. Making it a HQ version of DI feels too hard to implement, unless
you were to create a new instance for it somewhere else in the Escha zones. Hell.. throw it in to the Cloud Of Darkness battlefield area, if you find it
necessary to have this somewhere in Escha. At least by having it in a battlefield, no one can waltz in, summon trusts, then proceed to spike flail
the whole alliance.

As for Beastmaster.. how many times have you updated this job lately and gotten nowhere with it? I'm not a BST, but it pains me to see this job
be so messed around. It's like there's no real plan, you just throw things at it and hope players will like it. Then you quickly revert back when you
find out you messed up (like the WHM 'update'). Seriously guys, get some actual feedback from real players before you try implementing stuff,
and you'll save yourselves a ton of headaches, time, and money in the process. Also fix Ninja already.. that jobs been dead forever.

I think it's already pretty loud and clear.

Mireu as implemented is just a big fail. Sometimes you guys really don't put any thought into the things you do. You need to take this one back to the drawing board and start over completely. It fails to accomplish anything you intended it to do and comes across as nothing but a punishment.

Also, it shouldn't take a week to fix the Yoran-Oran issue. And I still haven't forgotten that you should've adjusted Final Heaven when all the other Hand-to-Hand weaponskills were adjusted. If that means having to do all the relic weaponskills, that's fine too. But it needs to be done.

Paladin still is no where near where it needs to be.

Elemental Magic is still miles behind where it needs to be.

Still screwing up majorly on BST. The fix is so easy. You can keep the master in melee range, without making the command range so ridiculously small.

Ninja still in desperate need of a complete overhaul.

There's this whole pile of super easy, super obvious fixes and wants... they're gimmes, easy wins to make you look like you care about players.... and you're at the complete opposite end not listening.

Summoner: Siren

Thank you for adding her and the effort that was put into furthering the storyline. I only wish that Clarsach Call was a buff to the party. I think it would be encourage Summoner more into melee or magic groups.

Wind's Blessing overwrites Carbuncle's Shining Ruby. Not sure if that is on purpose or not.

Beastmaster

Activation Timers for Ready.
Thanks for adjusting the activation time back to where we can use Desultor's Tassets regularly. I think most would prefer if we just had instant again with no Ready -recast gear required. Either increasing merits again or replacing the 1200 gift.

Distance remains a prominent issue with reliably activating abilities.
Distance is genuinely an issue still with Beastmaster. I know the developer's have stated that they don't want to take this route but it is very necessary with just how combat is in this game. It makes it easier to control the pet which already has issues in groups of monsters. It's just frustrating and not fun. Encouraging melee can work through buffs to melee and pet bonuses when master melees.

Variety of pets is still lacking and jugs take up a lot of inventory.
Some suggestions:

• Remove Beast Affinity trait since it's become pretty much mandatory. Let pets scale with main weapon or something.
• Have us learn pets instead, a new all purpose jug or biscuit could summon pets.
• Call Beast should reset if the pet is above a certain HP threshold like PUP. This helps with battles where you lose pet by being charmed, changing zones, etc.
• Bestial Loyalty should call the last recorded pet similar to Deus Ex Automata.

Paladin

Thank you for the continued changes made for PLD.

Atonement damage too low.
Atonement's damage feels like it needs a boost still. Adding the enmity it deals helps but with such a low cap on damage. Once you're able to do enough damage. You can get more enmity from just doing other weapon skills instead.

Caballarius Coronet +3 augment should persist after unequip.
Relic Head +3 augments for Iron Will: Fast Cast only work while the head is equipped. Given that other jobs like RUN's Inspiration augment works on activation. Is it possible to make it so you retain the Fast Cast to Rampart as long as it's active?

Reprisal having enmity like Foil.
While Banishga and AoE curing can be helpful sometimes for gaining group hate. It can be really hectic with some fights that spam hate reset. I think it would be great to just give Reprisal the same enmity that Foil has. I know that the developers would like PLD to be different from RUN but it would be very helpful.

Updating Ultimate Shields
Aegis and Ochain could really use an update. Monster combat skills are getting so high that it's getting harder to block while RUN has straight % chances to negate damage through parrying which is close to 100% with Battuta and +parry rate. They are great shields but I think it wouldn't hurt to give them a 119 equivalent.

• Aegis could use Shield Skill, not to the level of being an all in one shield but equivalent but a decent rate should be nice.
• Ochain was mentioned to have the rate of a item level 150 shield. So as 119 maybe add HP or some magic evasion.
• Srivatsa needs help. If it's supposed to be a melee shield then give it a good reason to use over the other two. Maybe Shield Bash: Chainbound so PLD can self SC and TP Bonus+500.

Hello, why is the new Siren BP not working with Shining Ruby or Rampart? They shouldn't all share the same effect

Hauksbok Arrow + Hauksbok Bolt + Hauksbok Bullet Are ammunition that are implemented as rare/ex. For 1000 Domain Points cost players can not utilize these for Gun / X-bow / Bow weaponskills unless Producer Matsui + Director Fujito can confirm these items have a hidden effect that they will not be consumed when shot. Double Shot job ability for Ranger job shares a reuse timer with Unlimited Shot, so even attempting a complex and risky item switch macro to use unlimited shot is still a huge penalty when you've excluded the use of Double Shot if utilizing Unlimited Shot. This isn't my first comment about this. Can we have an adjustment to these items so that they are not consumed when used as ammunition?

BST updates:
If the intention is to encourage pet + master melee, please make design changes to job and gear that actually encourage that kind of play instead of restricting what you consider inappropriate.
- Get rid of the need for non-ilevel gear to get ready recast down to max. You want us to fight in close proximity but also make our ilevel dip every 10 seconds...
- Add some decent options for gear that improve master and pet melee. Current gearsets only allow one or the other to be well geared for TP. Forcing focus on master TP ensures that pet TP is gimped (and vice versa).
- I second some of the above recommendations to clean up legacy abilities. Charm, tame, etc. are a waste of space. And having 20 slots dedicated to jugs that are mostly useless just to have all the pets is really inconvenient. No one makes money synthing jugs - just make calling pets an ability you can learn and call it a day.

Domain Invasion:
DI was a good event for high and low level people to jump into with low bar for entry. A good idea for this stage of the game. But the addition of the new dragon doesn't make sense if that was the intention. Now the low level stuff is interrupted regularly, preventing people from doing the content at random intervals. It is useless for getting DI points as it is less efficient than spamming the low level stuff. And no high level people are interested in spending 60 min to take down a tough baddie for a title and no other reward. Just decide what the point of it is and design it with that goal in mind... this makes no sense.

I get this game is nearly in legacy mode and resources for development are limited, but having a clear game plan for these features is essential. We are only taking time to winge about these things because we really like this game and want to continue to value this service going forward. I love the state of the game at the moment and some small modifications to focus could really be effective.

Thanks and cheers!

Mireu just needs to spawn in a d.i. external of the three existing d.i. escha zones. I'd recommend making an alternative battle location and just separating Mireu to end these complaints.

An update on how I feel about Mireu.

The other day I finished work and had to be up early the next day, so I had roughly 90 minutes of playtime to blast out Domain Invasion and log out.

I went to Sky, killed Naga Raja and got 20 points. Went to Reisenjima, which I don't usually do because I'm capped on the accuracy vorseal there.

And... Mireu pops. 60 minute timer. Gave it a few /slap before warping and logging out for the day. Great job SE! Wonderful content.

Mireu has got to go, its causing mayhem for those without the time to wait an hour for it to depop. Its not even worth killing on a time to reward ratio, consider changing it to one of the following.

1. Cut its hp by 2/3 and lower it to 20 mins or simply put scale it down to 20 mins or whatever.
2. Add all domain point drops to it similar to the low chance of equip from the other drags
3. Address the mpk mechanic of spike flail by replacing it to single target on hate OR to really penalise them for doing it add that buffalo event move that kicks you out of the zone if you get hit too often and make it block you from escha for 1 hour.
4. Add a separate cap of domain points or uncapped and nothing to do with 80 points.
5. make it worth 3 of each drag vorseal or give it its own vorseal, maybe something like the atma of saviour occ absorbs damage effect.
6. delete it altogether

The new dragon should be in its own spot, if it's purpose is truly a alternative to killing 4 dragons it should not spawn in there place, at least not with how overbuffed it is.

Did 3 dragons last night and on the 4th mieru popped so I just left and went to sleep. Had to wake up I'm the morning and do my 4th dragon before the reset, I don't think this was what you intended.

I had some time this morning so I geared up to do DI. I killed Naga in Ruan and went to Reisenjima. Mireu then spawned in Reisenjima. We tried to fight it for a few minutes and warped. I decided to try DI again a few hours later. I then went to Ruan and killed Naga again. I then went to Reisenjima and guess what? Mireu spawned again. We again tried to fight it for a few minutes and warped. I have wasted so much time on this dragon and missed out on my daily cap due to lack of time. Please fix DI you all have broken it so bad. I doubt this is the game play you all had envisioned.

Have to agree, Mireu is really overtuned as is, while it's possible to beat, yes, it's an unreasonable ask for a reive. All it really does right now is delay people's daily DI grind.

Please SE fix this! I can see you were attempting to make it easier for those that wanted Beads and those that wanted DI points but this is just a waste of everyone's time.

Thank you all for your feedback.

In content where a large group of players work together, the total amount of damage dealt by players tend to scale tremendously with each participating player. Notorious Monsters are adjusted to be on the stronger side with this in mind; however, this time there were some limitations caused by system-related bottlenecks, which resulted in over-tuning the monster.

After receiving your feedback, we’ve decided to make improvements in the next version update through several fixes and adjustments, which we’ll briefly summarize here.

▼ Adjustment Upon Entering the Battle Area
Displaying Content Level Beforehand
Up until now, it wasn’t possible to tell if Mireu had spawned or if it was another Notorious Monster. By displaying the content level beforehand, you’ll be able to tell whether the Notorious Monster that’s currently spawned is Mireu or not before moving to the battle area.

Addition of New Status: Battle Preparation Period
After moving to the battle area, for a certain amount of time you’ll receive a buff where you won’t receive any damage as long as you don’t gain enmity or manually remove the buff. When the buff disappears, you’ll be considered as participating in Domain Invasion. On the other hand, you won’t receive Domain Invasion Points if you enter the battle area and the battle ends before your buff has disappeared.

▼ Adjustments to Mireu
Greatly Lowering Spawn Rate of Mireu
Mireu currently spawns as frequently as once per hour and will be adjusted to appear far less often.

Adjustments to Rewards
In addition to the current rewards, you’ll be able to receive bonus Domain Invasion Points by defeating Mireu. These bonus Domain Invasion Points will be added regardless of your daily limit.

Furthermore, by repeatedly defeating Mireu, the amount of Domain Invasion Points that can be earned from regular Domain Invasions will increase, and in the final reward your daily limit will be slightly increased. The increased Domain Invasion Point gain and daily limit will reset when Mireu isn’t defeated consecutively; however, this bonus is shared across all players in that world.

Parameter Adjustments
We’ll be lowering the evasion and magic evasion of Notorious Monsters, making them easier to hit. Additionally, bonus accuracy will be added to the Awakening status.

▼ Adjustments to all Notorious Monsters
Adjustments to Monsters Not Being Displayed
We’ll be addressing an issue where players are unable to gain enmity on an enemy due to the Notorious Monsters not being displayed. Although their display priority was already increased, internally there are some cases where characters are prioritized, so we’ll be making adjustments to address this.

The above adjustments and fixes will be implemented simultaneously.

The aspect of diligently gathering gear to attain a 10-second recast time on Ready will be maintained. Regarding the item level of leg gear, we didn’t see it as a problem as we understood that the general playstyle was based around changing gearsets through usage of macros. While it’s possible to add a recast reduction bonus to the new ILv119 gear, this would be done when a new beastmaster-specific equipment is to be implemented.

We aren’t considering allowing pets’ support effects to apply to the entire party. One reason behind this is that some of these support effects are extremely powerful and are only allowed because they are limited to be applied to the master. Second reason is that by making this an area of effect, we can foresee players requesting beastmaster to fulfill a backline supporting role in parties.

Due to the base parameter values of pets and production cost required, we currently aren’t considering raising all pets to Lv119. However, now that the support effects affect the master, if there are any specific pets you would like to see raised to Lv119, please let us know. Additionally, please also let us know if there are any pets that are already Lv119, but you’d like to have support abilities added to them as well.

Regarding Reward, the main purpose of the ability is recovering HP. Therefore, greatly shortening its recast time is difficult to consider in terms of current balance. We could avoid the balancing issues, if for instance, we were to lower both healing potency and recast time to 1/3. However, this would mean it’d require three times the amount of items to achieve the same amount of healing, so then we’d have to consider things such as changing the quantity of items created in one synthesis to three, lowering the price to 1/3, and changing the stack size to 99.

Atonement is a weaponskill that allows you to gain a certain amount of enmity regardless of damage dealt, so we consider it as an enmity tool that shines when you’re up against an enemy with high resistances. When you’re faced with enemies that you can effectively deal damage to, we’d suggest using other weaponskills or other methods.

As for increasing Iron Will’s effect, the effectiveness of Fast Cast is dependent on gear parameter values, making it difficult to change.

Regarding the possibility of making ILv119 versions of Aegis and Ochain, we can’t do this as our current policies on parameter values would make them too powerful. Also, if we were to do it, it’d require adjustments such as greatly lowering Aegis’s magic damage reduction, and we don’t believe that it’d be worth weakening them that much just to have them become ILv119. However, we understand that many of you have fond memories of these items, so making them ILv119 will be a future task for the battle team.

Srivatsa’s stats appear to be fine as it is. Increasing them even further would allow paladin to gain additional offensive strength while maintaining its defensive capabilities, which is something we don’t plan to do.
