[dev1023] Dynamis Adjustments

[Suirieko]

Us old school dynamis shells don't welcome this change. It wasn't needed.

Too bad so sad, but it was needed. The time of 36+ people Dynamis is over and done. Sorry to say but welcome to post-abyssea FFXI where almost everything can be done with six people or less. (Einherjar being an exception.) If anything, most of the Neo-Dynamis changes are quite welcomed, especially the abolishment of 500K to pay for Timeless Hourglass.

Only thing that bugs me about the Neo-Dynamis is the need to stagger the mobs, but eh, the way I See it, it just makes you work for th edrop.

Good luck doing Voidwatch with 6ppl.

Einherjar is actually really easy with 6, if you're not terrible.

The stagger system ruins it? Is it that hard to kill 5 statues and actually...you know, use your job abilities, magic and WS beyond just spamming empyrean WS? Let alone go with some friends?

Getting procs is obnoxious and lowers kill speed considerably and just kind of drives me insane. So yes, it is to much trouble to do much besides voke once to pull, engage, ws when you have 100tp and play your WHM alt. Its not like I can just cast dia on something and magic proc it with my mule, usually I have to spam dia/dia2 for 30 seconds and use a third of my MP pool to proc stuff. Talk about annoying and something I do not wanna do. What so wrong with just having currency drop the way it use to without BS proc systems?

Get friends then? Its not hard getting a small group of people together to work towards a common goal. Right now, I'm helping my friend get his GK relic (or Apoc, trying to talk him into doing that one) done, and we are close towards that goal, which is good for him. Don't need to duo-box it, you can, you know, ask your friends (assuming you have friends) to help you out.

Do you even understand the basic concept of what I said?
Get friends to help? What is that suppose to do? I can do it fine by myself, it's just really obnoxious and tedious and effing stupid and not fun and I don't want to. So, why in the world would I ask my friends to do something that is obnoxious and tedious and everyone hates, that I can solo if I wanted to do it, especially considering there would be NOTHING worthwhile in it for them? Only jerks would ask for help with something like that, not friends.

I agree with this, I don't understand why they had to go about reducing currency drop rate in this manner. They could have just lowered it to 1/4th or 1/5th of the previous rate and gotten the same effect on currency creation without all the proc bs.

You know, you might be surprised. People do like to help others out, it is not all about them. Have you even asked them if they would like to do that? Or are you just assuming that everyone there hates to do dynamis?

Besides, asking is not the same as forcing. You will get some "no" in there, but you will also get some "yes" which will not only speed up your killing ability, but also get more coins from procing more often on more mobs. If you are expected to try to get nothing but 100s, I'm sorry to tell you, but you aren't going to get that. Be lucky to get 60~100 singles in a run with a group of 3 people.

This game was not designed with the soloist in mind. More people = more rewards, in case you haven't figured that out.

Lucky to get 60-100 with a group? You must know some really bad players, I got 80~ each time I went solo the 3 times I went and did it by myself. When I went and did 2 xarc runs with my friend Rui to try and get THF hands we got 120~ a trip (with no 100's).

But seriously, you're a jerk and not much of a friend if you ask people to help with obnoxious stuff you can solo. Also, I don't need to ask my friends for help to know if they would or not, they would always help me if I ask. Your friends wouldn't tell you no if you ask them for something, that's why you shouldn't ask them for stupid things, maybe you like being a jerk and never had real friends but thats not something you should do to your friends or they probably won't continue to be your friends.

In before astronomical rate hikes due to SE's stupidity on this area.

And this, if the dynamis update made currency "easier to get and there's more of it everywhere," why did the price go up? Bynes doubled in price on my server since the dynamis update for instance.
Bynes were 5-6k, shells 7-8k, bronzes 10-11k, now you have 11k~ bynes 12k~ shells and 13k~ bronzes. Heck, I sold 3 100 pieces for 1.5m each last month to a guy who was almost done and couldn't find any others to buy and started shouting and offering that much.

If dynamis was exactly how it is now, without the proc system, but the mobs dropped currency they way they use to, and how they do now after you proc them, I could easily roll in and get 300/trip. That would be real progress for 8 year old outdated content, not this new BS they gave us.
