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

[Darkvalkyr]

People seem to not understand that getting T1->T2 isn't the hard part, it's T2->T3. Most people are stuck on this step.

[Rearden]

Every other trial has a hard stage as well, by comparison aside from VNMs Ochain is the easiest trials of all. Dardaubla sucks because it has Apadamak after, but that's just costly, not really difficult.

Well, except for Carabosse path.

It would take you longer to 2-3box an Ukon/Twashtar/Farsha/Gandiva than it would an Ochain.

Maybe Lakshmi doesn't have competition issues, but here on Asura, it's basically a warzone everywhere. I don't mind, except when it comes to VNMs. 3~5 shells camping them at primetime makes it near impossible to get a T3 in 2~5 hours.

[Crocker]

Same problem 24/7 the T2 is never up and when it is its for like 5 secs someone runs straight to it and pops 1st /heal.

As it stands right now we can put a T2 pop on 18 people before we can make a T3, we need more ways to get the souls plain and simple.

How about adding them to T3 & T4 VNMs outside of abyssea those are still rough even at level 90.
By adding them to outside abyssea areas the T2-T3 VNMs respawn needs to be set to 10-15 mins.

[Leonlionheart]

This isn't even a Ochain/Daurdabla problem on Asura. Ketea (NIN AF3+2, BLM AF3+2 feet VNM) is also never up for more than 20 seconds. It's next to impossible to get Cards of Voyage without farming them in La Theine or spending a very large portion of your time soloing Ketea.

[Xellith]

Add T3 pop key items to gold boxes? :O

[Nynja]

wow....just wow...

[Vortex]

So really just add more tiers 2s to a zone and separate them, because it is pretty annoying also to have 15 people camping it's spawn point.

[Alpheus]

I can also attest that it is a war-zone as Leon said. Oddly enough when i helped an lsmate with Ketea or when i helped a random person with their last soul for their Ochain (popped Brulo) naturally there was no comp whatsoever but that probably has more to do with my bad luck when its my endeavor lol.

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.

This is bad.
It's not going to help people farming VNMs for Colorless souls or what-have-you.
If anything, it'll hurt those that farm VNMs for easy Pearlescent Lights.

IMO, make 5 T2s, 3 T3s, and increase the rate of T2 > T3 upgrades. [Maybe make Red proc affect upgrades?]
You made 3 ???s for most of the popular NMs, this isn't even close to as helpful but still better than current.

Having T1s upgrade to T2s easier will only make that person who's farming a T2 pop get to the competition zone easier. >_>
