I like the concept. I think the execution could use work. The test server version of Neo Nyzul was a fairly poor representation of the finished product, as it allowed for various debug cheats, and thus we were rendered incapable of providing proper feedback on the difficulty in the event's testing phase.

Luck has to be involved somewhere, otherwise the event wouldn't be dynamic. Choices have to be made on the fly in order to challenge players. Luck, however, should not be the deciding factor in winning or losing. That should be based on the choices the player makes in response to their luck.

It should not be common to lose when players make all of the right decisions. The challenge should be in forcing the players to make difficult decisions, decisions that are more complicated that right/left, black/white, and making the determination of the "Right" choice difficult.

Sometimes, things will just all go the wrong way at the same time and even the best groups will fail. These should be the exception and not the rule, however.

Our "community representatives" have hinted (in this thread) that they will add a voucher system to Nyzul Isle that gives you credit for floor clears and lets you pick out an armor that you want, kind of like the proposed Voidwatch voucher system.
* If it is 1 floor clear = 1 armor of your choice, I think that the event would be okay without any further changes.
* If it is 2 floor clears = 1 armor of your choice, I would still do it but I don't think it would be popular.
* If it is 5 floor clears = 1 armor of your choice, I think the event would suck and no one would do it.
The odds of getting to 100 are too low, and players do not want to aim for only +3 armor.

We get the impression that the development team also does not listen to the NA community. They often make statements about job direction in response to questions that no one would ask.

You know some people will get to floor 100. Until then just keep trying for 60-80 gear. thats definately achievable by good groups.

i think TE would be a really good idea not tons of time but completing certain bonus objectives on certain floors can get you can extra 5 mins or 10 mins

I think it would be better to increase the chance of free floors, instead of extra time. It's an existing mechanism in Nyzul, and does essentially the same.

Ofcourse, there are other gimmicks they could employ. Small gimmicks you can't build a tactic on, but work in your favor if they do. For example, bring a BLU and if the fight involves soulflayers, they would occasionally get staggered. Bring a PUP, and the maton will occasionally sync with the lamps on a lamp floor when the master touches a lamp, unlocking the next floor, etc.

What I thought would be nice would be a counter you got on each floor so say after floor 1 you have 1 counter and the next floor whatever it is you have 2 and it would add up, then allowing you to spend any number of those counters only once to do an exact jump. I think this would help people reach bosses at least every run maybe not guarantee floor 100 or floor 80 but it would make the runs not so horrible in that aspect. Another thing I've heard others say is allowing us to go backwards due to sometimes you end up overshooting a boss floor because it finally decided to give you a nine jump and you couldnt afford to go up 8 floors one at a time. Both of those ideas sound like good ways to do it without increasing time if SE really thinks giving us more time is too broken.

No, because it still rewards sheer luck to get to 80 or 100. Luck should never be present doubly; right now you'd be "lucky" to get to 80 or 100 then even "luckier" to get the piece that you actually wanted. That's ridiculous. .01% drop rates on content that is time restricted and takes a specific group of people is stupid. It just screams "lol we know you're addicted so give us your money".

[Staren]

First small fixes seems to be the best we're going to get so it only seems smart to start thinking of ones that SE might actually think are small enough to help and not strong enough to hurt.

Second.

Did you not do Dynamis back at 75 before the update? I know I ran a dyna group for 2-3 years and I know that alot of people looked at D.Chap as having that drop rate. Dyna also required a pretty specific setup and I'm comparing this to old dyna as your dd's/healers were pretty much interchangable whereas with abyssea where jobs were set to a solid setup of 4. No one was clamoring for old dyna to be completely abolished back then (which oddly enough it ended up being completely redone which only shows SE's odd sense of things not that I'm complaining). Back at 75 doing 5 floors in nyzul without a proper setup and good group was a ridiculous chore and there were weekends where 1 of your 4 runs didnt get you to the floor you needed or you went 4/4 on no drops. I dont know how long you've been playing but this is not new. Telling them to completely redo this is more stupid (with their track record) than proposing small changes to make it better.

[Corydor]

by the way did someone say that you only jump 2 to 9 floors on a ???, i did it with a pickup party the other day and we jump from floor 25 to 43, we had just missed floor 20 and was upset we were aiming for floor 40 and completely over shot in one jump we were all in shock since it jumped near enough 18 floors >.>
