[dev1007] Voidwatch: Obtaining Spoils

[Rearden]

Yeah, like adding it to the pool.

[Xellith]

FFXIV getting bells and whistles and we are getting shafted - yet again.

[Tamoa]

Yeah, like adding it to the pool.

I totally agree but you know...:

It was decided that there will not be any fundamental changes to the drop system to make it possible to add item drops to the treasure pool, as the team does not believe this is not where the main crux of the problem lies.

SE SAID NO!... (and they are oh-so-wrong in thinking that's "not where the main crux of the problem lies".)

hmmm. make incredible improvements in ffxiv and now slowly convert ffxi back to the days of old and let it die maybe that's the plan........

It's so simple to make drops that can be exchanged at a NPC for something worth while instead of letting things just drop to the floor.

[Insaniac]

It's 3 kings all over again.

They know no one likes how it works. They just don't care. This 100% garbage, universally hated, worst in the history of MMOs, drop system is in place for one reason. Keep people stuck on this content so they don't have to spend money making more content. The problem is that someone there is too stupid to realize they have gone way too far.

I used to log into these forums to see what exciting new things were happening. Now I log on for new reasons to quit. So nostalgic.

Translation: "We're not going to fix the single largest problem with this system, but we're going to make it harder to kill them with pickup groups."

I must've missed the part where he said existing NMs are going to get harder to kill with pickup groups. You mean the "new chapters" with "tougher challenges"? Yeah, still not seeing any "screw your pickup alliances".

I do however see something which roughly translates as: "No, you can't haz cheezeburger"

[Rearden]

Camate, feel free to revoke my posting privileges because I have nothing nice to say and what we say doesn't matter anyway.

[Quetzacoatl]

Again, truly fucking outrageous that they can't just implement

[SIZE="7"]Add to Treasure Pool[/SIZE]

[Babekeke]

Now I log on for new reasons to quit.

/goodbye ^^

Poor Camate, having to give us news like that.

You can't say that! Poor Bayohne will be even more upset if you feel sorry for Camate after giving us bad news after all the grief everyone gave Bayohne

If you had read the entire post . . .

Kill speed is limited by proc speed. If it takes you 15 minutes to proc out and cap lights regardless of the opponent, then shortening the battle just reduces the time you have to focus on damage and makes the fight harder.

Unless they're going to make it take fewer procs to cap out lights, a straight reduction of HP would make it difficult to cap lights without killing the monster on low tier stuff and hard to kill the monster in time with a pickup group on high tier stuff. Not to mention that you risk of forcing them below 50% HP before capping lights. I was in a pickup alliance that beat the joke that is Akvan with only 30 seconds remaining the other day.
