I think everyone has got this all wrong, Sortie entry needs to be every second.
Listen, no one in their right mind should ever think that sortie should be a limited type thing. It should be something we can enter as many times as we like. It should also be done with an alliance more importantly so we wouldn't feel so left out of things. Anyone who doesn't do sortie feels the needs to talk about how else to limit things that involve time consuming things. They really shouldn't be here period. The benefits to going any time we like and as an alliance possibly with a matchmaker would make things interesting a fun and less dependent on improper fractions. I don't care if you're the best. I just think we should become as interesting as interesting gets. Allowing players who aren't genuinely great at the game the opportunity to compete with whoever spends their time doing one thing more than another should have this opportunity to prove ones great. Without the restrictions of one server. Time limit. What time limit? There shouldn't be one. Period.
They shouldn't limit us at all to how many times we can enter.
This's as much as we want type of thing. It would be nice to do it as much as we would like. There shouldn't be a limit on sortie. It should be entered, anytime with an alliance as much as we want. Putting a limit on us is holding us back. The ability to receive more rewards would be to just enter again. If we choose to farm it out. That's fine. If we want to continue until we have obtained enough rewards. That's cool. If we choose to help others while helping ourselves. That's better. If we come out with a fully functionable character. That's superb.
We have to gain points to succeed. There should never be a limit to however many points we can gain per day. Rupix plates should only grant us the ability to enter sortie. Once we have obtained it, it should not have to recharge to enter a battlefield. If we aren't successful enough to defeat any of the bosses and only choose to go after chest for rewards. Then that should be all that is.
Hardcore end game players should not be a thing. When you bring up that thought it's probably the most ignorant thing i've ever heard. Just go in and get the chest if we aren't good enough to beat it ourselves. The good get better. The bad get good.
