[dev1026] Voidwatch stage 2 and above

[Runespider]

Are these new NMs being aimed at full alliances or is the aim to make content for a party of 6 still? I guess this goes for all content from now on too really.

Just curious since the push was to try make content for smaller groups but it seems to be a little muddled now. All the old linkshells have died out more or less due to design decisions by the dev teams, seems odd if they intend to go back to full alliance content after destroying the LS mentality.

Haven't done a lot of VW yet - but what I've done so far (T1/T2 Bastok, T2/T3 Windurst) has been doable with ~8...

Just need to put a little thought into what jobs you bring and how you handle the fight...

My question is - to participate in the Jeuno Area content... do we need to clear ALL of the Bastok/Windurst/San d'Oria VW paths, or complete one path?

Players who have completed up to stage four of the San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst Voidwatch missions and seen the corresponding cutscene may join the operation by speaking to one of the Voidwatch officers stationed in the three nations.

Is what I'm confused about...

I've killed the T2 and T3 NMs in the Windurst path - but without my Jade Abyssite upgrading from T1.

This is because I was at work when my LS killed the T1 NM... Am I still making progress on this front?

If you look at the new Voidwatch pics, the new mobs come with adds. This seems like a decision to shift desire back to alliances rather than the Abyssean setup.

Voidwatch as a whole isn't designed as 6man content. Even if you can handle the mobs, the need for procs encourages more people because drop rates are terrible.

@Francisco - There is a cutscene you trigger after getting all 3 T4 stones with Kupofried and Cait Sith in Pashhow (S). This could be what they are referring to.

No, you have to do them in order. It is like nyzul floors. Doing floor 100 doesn't count unless you did the whole way. However I think only T1 requires both NMs, all after that is just one of the available. (Though I think only T3 has options)

Almost positive you have to kill both T3s.

All the current mobs we do with 7-8 players and 3-4 WHM mules with little trouble.

Unless they change the drop system though it doesn't really matter. VW is a great idea but the drop system is way too annoying to make it worth while.

FF14 is getting materias and we are getting voidwatch II, yeah !

I'm almost certain all VWNM can be done with like 5 SMNs, excluding Kholomodumo (Curse Spikes can't be dealt with easily w/ a SMN burn).

Abyssea has caused all the SMNs to QQ, but my SMN with crap gear can out DD my WAR on mobs like Lord Asag (WAR being weakened most of the time doesn't help much).

WAR gets a bit of epeen reduction with Voidwatch but what good is doing the event without the procs anyway.

6-8manning means shit when you hit few procs and get synth mats for the investment.

SMN, COR and PLD get their big break w/Voidwatch anywho.

[Leonlionheart]

I'm just saying if you're going for the wins. There's no real point to low manning past T2 anyway, T3 and T4 drops rock.
