Could S-E make Walk of Echoes Cross-World server?

[Helel]

My suggestion is if you want to do WoE then make a LS for it, or even just shout for it. There will be people interested in doing it, but it's going to require you to put in a little extra effort. Just doing /searches of the zone is not going to cut it. I still do einherjar (shocking I know), but only because I've made a LS for it. Otherwise it'd be impossible without shouting.

A cross server matcher won't ever happen, not because it isn't possible but because it would take a lot of work and programming and we all know that is not going to happen. In all honesty if they had any inclination of doing something like this it would of been for Ballista events.

As for the event dying, well FFXI is full of events that died off.. this will just be another one of those.

I think this would be a fantastic idea! Sounds very intriguing. If any place was plausible for cross server interaction, it'd have to be Walk of Echoes.

Only if they make ballista cross world.

With Einherjar, at the very least you know you're making progress through Ichor and tier progression. This isn't the case with WoE, as it is entirely luck-based if you can even manage to throw together enough bodies for presumably one of the newer tiers. I just can't see member retention being high, and unlike Abyssea, there is no perk for clearing some or even all the chambers. The steep requirements of WoE weapon trial progression through dice and the new item also certainly isn't enough since the event is not low-man friendly in the given tiers.

All these good ideas and no action by SE, the point system, the fluxs being tiered to a certain number of players, etc, but instead of fixing stuff that needs attention yesterday, we get war nerfs, over powered merited ws replacing empyreans, shitty empyreans like cloudsplitter and scythe, crappy relic like polearm, and more logs than a beaver can chew through.

PS: Chocobo racing fix and add symbols to your macro. Excellent fixs, but not as big a priority as the above mentioned. Winning, yay.

Searching WoE zone usually only yields 1-2 people in the zone. This is not enough to complete any of the walks effectively.

It's 4 AM on Christmas Eve on Bismarck and we have 24. I'm sorry but if WOE is really 1-2 people then no one else wants to do it. On the other hand, I'm skeptical at your data.

Regardless, every year or so, someone wants to have some sort of cross server event either in Dynamis, or Salvage, WOE etc. It's a show stopper. Of all the possible fixes to a WOE Bahamat specific attendance issues, this is one solution that is in the group least likely to get implemented.

Why are you skeptical? We're not all lying when we say WOE is dead on our servers. There may be a few times here and there when people jump in, but most every time I look there is no interest. You'll find more doing Campaign and Besieged! Weeknights, day and night on weekends. Yeah I'm not going to be up at 3AM my time to see what's going on in there. If there was a real interest in doing the event, there would be interest during the various prime times don't you think?

The event is an abject failure as it stands. Nice idea, but very poor execution. The loot distribution is awful, and the designers couldn't seem to decide if this was supposed to be Campaign 2.0 or Einherjar 2.0 so we ended up with the problems of both and the benefits of neither.

[Ravenmore]

24 people in there during JP hours is still really sad. LAst time they added new walks it would 2x to 3x that and at least 24 during NA times.

[Insaniac]

Players aren't clamoring to do an event that almost always drops nothing of any value? That doesn't make sense at all. In the time it takes you to luck into a scroll you need you could farm enough gil to buy it by just killing the gigas outside and people aren't excited about that? Wait wait wait. People don't want to do this event for 9 months just to get enough devious dice to make a single level 95 WoE weapon that's still inferior to it's level 85 emp counterpart that can be made in a week? Sounds like people just don't understand the genius.
