Dynamis

[Eldelphia]

I steer clear of BST in dyna when I can but recently it's impossible. I get that they're great farmers in there and on some levels I don't see the issue. However, I give them allowance for 2 mobs and maybe a 3rd if it linked. If you're sitting on 4-5 AND there are no others up, well I'm going to take them from you. If you're stupid enough to proc them all, then you'll fall foul of people I know who will wait and fell cleave. I don't do that but I know people who do.

RIght now BST is job de Jour in Dynamis. Wait for the new content and the new shinies and then see what happens. Dyna is about to get crazy again in a new way, with people farming for relic +2 items.

yeah ima sure you remind me of a liberal, gaining from others efforts.....want to gain currency pull your own mobs and proc your own mobs and stop taking from other peoples hard work!

Oh yeah, pull that real life card cause it feels so good.
Seriously, if you are that concerned with losing claim on a certain mobs, why switch targets. Square Enix doesn't need to fix anything(related to claim system), it's "working as intended". If you're going to cry every time you enter Dynamis because "they took er mobs!" probably should just not do Dynamis or only keep at max 2 claimed. People who feel the way you do are the reason that BSTs get a bad name in Dynamis. The reason why I snipe kills at 5% with Hyoton, you can cry all you want but that's your fault that you're hoarding more than you can handle.

I normally dont jump in on these type thread but Walk and i are in the Same LS and he isnt talking Hoarding MObs as a solo BST . he talking about when we go to Dynamis as a group . Going in with 5+ people . pulling 5-8 Mobs (something a group like this can handle easily) staggering them individually (since there is a time limit before stagger changes) then focusing on a single mob . we can Stagger and a kill a group of 8 in less than 5 minutes . with 5 people we Average 300+ coins run(Vs a Solo BST doing 120 +/- 15) . This is a co-operative game still . when we have 6 or more ppl come we hit the DC-T monsters . It's a huge annoyance when any player , BSt or other wise, come and tries to take already Staggered mobs . The GMs i have talked to about this call this a grief tactic , which is illegal by the EUA . Taking monsters not staggered , not so much . You wanna say this hoarding then try being less of a jerk and try takin the mobs before they get staggered . Or find some friends and complete that relic in 1/3rd the time . Not doin a weapon and farmin for gil ? Sorry then , but we're not selling our coins . We're makin Weapons .
I agree that Square should change the Stagger rates . Its so hard to stagger mobs on anything but Job Abilities (how many spells and Weapon Skills Vs how many Job Abilities?) of course this is the obvious choice when farming coins . Personally , i feel this addition to Dynamis is unwarranted and a complete annoyance in and that of it's self . The old Russian Roulette style was far more fun and rewarding . Especially now that it's an open area where groups can interact with one another , poor judgement call Square . If it was Locked like before the change , this stagger addition would be a great call . Now , not so much .

i'm still failing to see how 5 people cant keep 5 mobs claimed,

suck less.

[Mikumaru]

lemme go solo and do 120 coins a run , taking 150 runs(days) to get the 18,000 i need to complete a relic vs 300 coins a run which will get that same 18,000 in 60 runs (days) sounds like solid math to me . In the time it takes you to complete 1 weapon by yourself , cuz you have no friends , we'll have 2 done and be pretty close to completing our 3rd . i would say take your own advice and suck less at making friends .

we proc then focus on one . 3/4 people kills one mob faster than soloing it , again you know this had you any friends .

and yet I've completed more relics with my no friends than you entire group has.

[Mikumaru]

and yet I've completed more relics solo than you entire group has.

whats your point? you can make a relic solo , good job . i play the game and have fun , the whole point of a game . While your crying about this trying to complete yet another Relic all by your lonesome , i am laughing and enjoying hangin out wit mah boyz . I'll take havin fun with my friends and no relic over your uber solo-ness . You rock .
