[dev1048] Please make Tags Stockpile

[Windwhisper]

let me rephrase what he said in 1 word. although he used a few more : Balance

sounds familiar?

[Phafi]

Why not make items that we can trade to the guy for a tag similar to voiddust?

[Coldbrand]

ps2 limitations and balance

While we definitely understand your request for more Assault tags, increasing the amount of tags you can have at your disposal is not such an easy thing to do. The main reason is because of the congestion it will create in instanced areas once the revamps to Nyzul and Salvage take place. Apologies for any inconveniences.

Thanks for the update Camate.

Now a followup question that i was actually holding because i figured the dev response to the OP(if they ever gave you one to share...) was going to be something along the lines of what we got:

With the revamping of Nyzul Isle and the future revamping of Salvage, do the SE devs intend to look into separating the the two events, finally?

I personally loved the old Nyzul Isle event, was my favorite thing to do back in the day. But all my friends were Salvage junkies. It was beyond annoying and not a little unfair imo.

Me- Guys, ready for Nyzul Isle runs in a few?

Guys- .............

Me- Hello, you ppl afk or something?

Guys- ....sorry man we forgot and burned all our tags on reg Assault for points for Salvage....again.


It was ridiculous then and will be even more so if you all let this scenario play out again. Especially after Abyssea.

I can maybe get the reasoning back when the events were new in the ToAU era of FFXI. But that time is long past and i really can not see how keeping both events tied to Assault Tags in this day and age can be viewed as acceptable on you all's part. And the above response from the devs takes my sentiment up a few orders of magnitude, as they seem to be stacking the deck in that direction again already.

Please see if you can wrangle a straight answer from the devs on this question Camate. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Every time I think I've heard it all, these devs come up with another response that makes even less sense than the last one.

Fix the Damn instancing first then. Expiring tags is a horrible system.

Pretty optimistic there.

Hahaha.

if you can't make them stockpile, can you atleast make it so you dont need 3-6 people for Assualt missions, i understand 3-6 for Nyzul Isle and salvage. but the assult missions dont need 3-6 anymore.

my problem is i want to do them and i'm stuck on all the first ones, but no one wants to do them all. so im stuck because you need 3 people, when i can solo 80% of them if i could just do them

the probability for high congestion in these areas is pretty low at this point.

Might we request a re-evaluation of this after these mentioned updates take place?

so, let me see if I have this clear in my head. The reason we can't stockpile tags is because people might become interested in doing the event. Do I have that right? The plan is to keep it limited so that people CAN'T participate at any reasonable interval...

OK... it's the developer's own personal names that follow their resumes when they look for their next jobs and reasoning like this that stands out when hiring considerations are made, but whatever, it's your livelihoods.
