Walk of the no Coin drops??? formerly Walk of echoes

[Shellke]

Easy solution to drops problem:

Remove singles completelly, only pouches should come from chests, with the same frequency as coins now.
Make an NPC that exchanges any coins for dies.

People can get 30 coins in a reasonable amount of time that way, and getting 100 dies should be just a bit easier than coins and people that were doing WoE for a long time already and stacking coins are getting some love as well.

Well initially I was quite pleased with the changes to WoE. However in the last 12-15 runs I have not seen a single coin drop even though I have been doing the same flux (9) and on the same job (Smn). My evaluation rarely fluctuates if that even has a bearing on drops... seems pretty random.

I am definitely very happy with how the event has been restructured. It feels as if WoE will take the place of what Campaign Battle used to, which the game has been sorely lacking. A place where people can go get some small cash drops, a small amount of xp, and now a shot at some big $$$ drops. The WoE version empy's mats just need to be balanced a bit I think. I'm not a huge fan of the make them lottable idea. Just needs a tweak here or there to the drop rate.

To people saying "why would anyone do this event when they can make so, and so empy in X amount of time" WoE offers a chance for people who do not dual box, who are short on play time per week, or just plain don't wish to team up a chance to make a decent weapon over time. When you add the xp/small gil rewards/chance at big $$$ drops/ and the option to sell the dice if you so choose... the system makes a lot of sense. A small tweak to reward vs evaluation, and SE has done very well with this one.

id just like it to change from :
Are you a Bst Smn Pup ? Y/N * if yes skip to option 4*
Are you any other job then Cor Rng thf/rng sam/rng Y/N * if no skip to option 4*
Change to Bst Smn Pup Cor Rng
Your good to Go

seriously when 0 chain and Aegis plds are getitng there shit packed in because theres 15 smns 9 bsts 5 pups and 6 blms
and everyone else is a dead DD , your event is useless to anyone whos not a ranged or pet job.

seriously im 1/2 tempted to level smn to 95 in abyssea nakied so i can do woe and not spend 3/4ths the run weak.

It seemed like they still had alliance hate? Kind of sad they didn't fix that because it is annoying when it starts to go downhill and you need to have everyone stay dead to avoid getting knocked out again after raise.

Also I don't see the big issue with having some content ranged job focused. Haven't pretty much everything between 2006 and 2011 been melee oriented? I heard no complaints then from SMNs and BLMs. I guess it is just melee jobs who are spoiled and complain as soon as they aren't the best jobs in the game.

there's a major difference between DD's being an acceptable choice with ranged / pet jobs being preferred and how flux's 8 9 10 are now, unless your on a pet job your weakened usless and are wasting your time. Flux's 1-7 You could come DD and it wasnt useless you could come pld tank the mobs and if you had some back up you would be fine. 8 , 1300+ SLAM SLAM SLAM SLAM SLAM SPAM 9, HP DOWN AOE 1300 INSTA DEATH woooo , 10?! DOOMGA. ive done 6 conflux 10 runs , every run but one has been won due to brew's and the one they didnt brew had 10 smns and 6 bsts and everyone else just tagged along.

SE just really needs to adjust the instant kill shit , or take the slam off the babys , take the vermilion and cataclysmic winds off the babys . remove fatal scream above 50%. those are small things that make the entire run alot more DD friendly with out it taking away from pets supremacy.

SE apparently underestimates the ease at obtaining an Empyrean. Im confused why anyone would get a WoE weapon, other than the toy weapons (ohhistaff)

8 , 1300+ SLAM SLAM SLAM SLAM SLAM SPAM

Having done 8, while this is an entertaining characterization of it, it's only accurate as far as the two boss turtles are concerned.

The real problem with 8 is that nobody knows how to kite Genbu.

Seriously. 8 is piss-easy as long as you have someone kiting all the babies, because the babies move slowly. Instead, everyone is like "O HEY IT'S A MOB, I THINK I'LL HIT IT", and you run out of time because there aren't enough people putting damage onto the boss turtles.

And for the love of god, if you're doing 8 on SMN, quit using Ramuh and Garuda. Turtles are weak to ice. Use Shiva already and quit drooling on your keyboard.

Actually every run where I got a beast loot pool was where I had a low eval from DC'ing on entry, and returning for the last 5mins.

The problem is it takes literally no skill to play a pet job. Pet jobs are for complete idiots who should be playing farmville or something if they're so easily entertained by /pet attack - > go afk while your pet attacks crap.

How can ANYONE find pet jobs fun? You basically do NOTHING and stand there like derp derp derp while your dumb pet beats on things, OH SO EXCITING!

I guess watching paint dry would be entertaining to someone who finds pet jobs fun.
