[dev1015] Still no Abyssea VNM adjustments still a major point of congestion

[Leonlionheart]

They're not adding cars to the freeway. They're making the cars go faster.

They are effectively doing both. More T2's in circulation means more people farming T3 pops.

Sure you can get up and go faster, but you're gonna run out of fuel fast.

Speeding up the process will help everyone. The people that are complaining are upset that they may see more people actually going for the items these drops are needed for. The sooner you can get your Tier II the more often you can fight the nm and get what you need and get done so others can do the same. There should be more nms in the heroes area though. Frankly there should be multiple nms for every empryean weapon/shield required item.

Still a lot cheaper then aegis. If people don't like competition or actually having to work for something then do the numerous other easy mode things in this game. Good job SE for not bowing to the QQ on these forums and lets hope heavy plates separates the wheat even further.

As if making an Aegis is "hard mode." it's just redundant mindless borefest mode. And at least you can COMPLETELY solo it up until trials. Hell, you can even make it in 10 minutes if you have the gil.

I'd say it's twice as hard to make an Ochain than it is Aegis. Time spent =/= difficulty, never has, never will.

Edit: Does it mean dedication? Hell yes. Congrats on getting a relic/mythic.

Actually ive done both and aegis is miles apart from ochain in terms of difficulty. If anyone actually thinks killing a few vnms is difficult then just stop now and ease the congestion. the only issue is so many wannabe ex purple plds feel owed an ochain and give up after a few weeks cause its to hard.

What needed to be addressed was the droprates on double souls.

As it stands, Ogopogo drops doubles more than Maere or Brulo. The rates are not even. Why is this?

This. Adding more VNMs, upgrade rate being higher, whatever is all irrelevant because they don't actually fix any problems. (Not that I think there are any, aside from this)

The congestion would be a lot less if it were more feasible to farm in a zone aside from Ulegerand Range.

Here is some data we compiled from a few posters at BG.

The numbers are as follows: left side (x/??) identifies double drops, right side (?/yy) identifies number of kills.
Brulo
7/38

Ogopogo
104/134

Maere
3/23

This drop rate for Brulo/Maere is similar to Dragua and Ironclads prior to the "fix" that occurred months ago. As it stands, Ogopogo is the only T3 with a normal drop rate.


Edit: For the record I don't think you deserve shit as far as Ochain/Dardaubla goes unless you want to put work in within this system that exists - they are awesome items. I just think the drop rate needs to change because one mob worth farming is silly.

22,500,000~37,500,000 gil per Ochain.

So? doesn't a Aegis cost like 4 times more despite inference by the community that said aegis is inferior?

Yeah, but the issue is it's not a relic.

Either make emps harder, or make colorless souls easier.

Howdy!

Though we won't be able to make it in time for the upcoming version update, we have decided to increase the rate in which the Clear Demilune Abyssite changes into a Colored Demilune Abyssite. This will be reflected on the test server a little after the version update takes place.

didn't see anyone ask this but, could this be a small patch? and also lower the repop rate on the T2s? As for the drop rate, I think it'd only go to lower frustration if the rate was higher since its a 75 colorless soul trial. From experience unless you have a team of alts its just very time consuming to do these/kill the T3s to begin with. and for the three posters that say "shut up and don't ask for the game to be easy", i'm not the first and third trial is relative painless, the souls on the other hand the challenge to obtain them is much higher... if you say buy it front me the gil
