[dev1023] Dynamis Adjustments

[cidbahamut]

Change is good, but variety is better. It would have been preferable to have left Dreamlands in the old style, rather than changing them over and completely eliminating an event from the game.

I agree because they removed the dreamlands zones from the game.



....They didn't? Huh weird. Guess nothing was eliminated.

So an event that plays very differently from another is the same event simply because they take place in the same zone? No, that's silly.

Neo-dynamis might be superficially similar, but it provides a distinctly different experience than old dynamis did.

I don't get the subjob restriction requirement for getting the new items to drop. That's just silly.

Difficulty.

Oh and it discourages lone NIN/DNCs from soloing.

[Anissa]

The drop rate for all items that enhance relic and relic +1 armor will be unified.
Certain items required to enhance relic and relic +1 equipment will only drop if support job restrictions are enabled.
Refinements to the upgrade process for relic and relic +1 equipment are still under consideration. Ingredients, drop rates, and other aspects are subject to change.

I may be misinterpreting this, but are we getting the opportunity to upgrade to relic +2?

Elexia your comments are interesting and change you speak off that SE is now going to do with Dynamis Dream lands?

First they have killed Dynamis as it was before the 7th may 2011. I have not heard 1 pserson in my link shell that say's "Yeah its great" Not 1 and I am positively Sure as a result of that Many people Have left the game and many of my friend's have also too left the game Since the "New Micky Mouse" Abyssea Dynamis was introduced.

So far to date SE has Distroyed the Foundation's of this Wonderful Game I have played back in the days 2003 When i first started FFXI following the Console Game. This game was SE Golden Goose.

1.Cop levell restriction lifted what was the point of it , but we stuck with it.
2.Rank mission levell restriction lifeted, again what was the point of that but we stuck with it.
3.Introduction of Abyssea and we stuck with it , that is all every one does but we still had dynamis up until 7th may 2011
we watched it Taken away, so there was still dream lands , there is hope still we stuck with it

AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO KILL THE GOOSE! no thanks they did not need to Distroy Everything, and they have.
and this change to Dynamis Dream lands is the Final Straw that will Break this Game and for me too.

The Question I ask my self with all the changes SE have made in this past 1.5 year's slowly bit by bit Distroying thier own Game, do they want us all to leave FFXI ? Stop playing the game ? is that what is really behinnd all this self distruction?

I will say to them "please keep somthing back, dont distry everything"

What the hell? What's with the Dynamis changes making it Mickey Mouse? Dynamis wasn't hard after everything was figured out,then it just turned into something that was too damn long and got stale. Seriously stale. Look, it's great that you enjoyed the event, people are different. Personally, I think that anyone who liked the way Dynamis was before, with its four hour time-eating farm sessions, are just masochists. I just can't get into your mindset about wanting to do the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over...

I still don't consider Dynamis to be that much fun but at least now there's some variation. And the two hour cap. I love me some two hour time cap.

Like I said earlier, the days of having 36 people in Dynamis is gone. That is the direction of the game. Events should no longer need massive alliance to get things done, now that it takes only six people to finish things. The interesting in Dynamis have already been waning, and Abyssea made people care less for Dynamis especially thanks to Empyrean, since the majority of them are better than the relic weapons itself.

Because of this, Dynamis needed a massive overhaul, and that was what they did. Yes, I know Dynamis could be lowmanned as it was before, but the reservation system, and the 500K fee for glass really had to go.

At first I didn't like the change coming, but all things considered, it was needed.

VoiceMemo:

In some ways I agree. Relic weapons should be the ultimate result of people working together.

Personally, I feel with the stagger system, it slows the currency gain down significantly, and requires more work to get the currencies. Need have people focus on staggering and others focus on killing in order to ensure optimal currency gain. There were runs that I was able to gain 250 or more coins, (which does not includes 100s).

I agree it's much harder to justify working on relic and getting currencies in other people's eye due to empyrean, and the abolishment of the 500K glass fee.

I'm really pleased with the changes to Dynamis. The gear is not enormously relevant (pieces are situationally useful) anymore but its easy and fun to farm. I've done years of Dyna and was the leader of an incredibly successful dynamis shell. We split all our profits based on attendance. Interest in dynamis died with the introduction of empyrean armour. Now people cherrypick pieces from zones they want and go and get them.

The new NMs present something more lively to do than just farm but if you want to make some cash or need a particular piece you can go in daily until you're bored. 2 hrs is the perfect event length too.

/shrug I love dynamis but even I realise 4 hr runs weren't ideal.
