Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Zinato]

Until, we get more news on tiers of ticket or how its catagorized (we know they are since camate said Item of the players choice meaning tickets can trade for multiple things in some way shape or form) we are mostly grabbing at straws. A note I wanted to make however, in terms of tickets only coming from items you duplicates of. I think it should be allowed for the first drop as well, not for the sake of "i don't want drop so sell it" as much as there is so much VW gear and much of it is on a mule. Additionally, this means you have to save all VW drops wether junk or not, and all on the character doing the run. (this doesn't even count ticket space either this is just the gear itself) Finally, if the DEVs decide to make a VW/Abyssea moogle slip Athos/ace's/serpentine etc. it means players wouldn't be able to make use of that either, having to retrieve all drops from a particular NM each run. Otherwise, I think the ticket idea is sound.

i for one am glad for the break from vw, i get to build stones till this is implemented.

Hey everyone.

I followed up with the development team to get an answer as to whether or not you need to already possess the rare/ex item to obtain a ticket. They said that you will in fact need to have the item in your possession and they are not planning to make it so you can give a ticket to someone else when you could obtain the actual item.

Also, to clarify the original post; each piece of gear will have their own ticket (and I've amended the original post for clarity). I've also seen questions about "will this apply to Heavy Metal Plates, too?" and the answer is no, this is currently planned for equipment pieces only.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait just one minute.

So, basically, you're saying that you need 5~6 people with Coruscantis to obtain a second Coruscanti in order to pool the tickets necessary to trade in for a single Coruscanti?

That is to say, the bodies and daggers are still lost, but only 83% lost instead of 100% lost? That's assuming if and only if the item is already possessed by the mule/character in question?

The latter clause is the real kicker in all of this. They've very explicitly said no (so much so that it had to be mentioned twice). I don't care to argue about it. I'm just tired.

I only do Voidwatch in the first place because I enjoy killing things with friends. I don't expect it to be rewarding. Apparently, that isn't really going to change as much as I'd hoped. Oh well.

Camate I understand where the dev's are going with this, but it's not a good idea to make a separate ticket for each item. Make one for each NM and make the items redeemable with larger number of tickets. This is due to certain equipment simply not existing, ex: the weapons from the Zilart VWNMs.

SE couldn't resist the Jackass Genie call, it seems.

Thanks for the clarification Camate.

Evil Genie

Camate, Can you ask them, Instead of this system which will have no noticeable beneficial effect, Can you instead have it be based on the NM, and make it A Tier system or require much higher Tickets for a high end item? in essence, This reduces their effort. For instance, if it was a Amount ticket system,

Chakram = 5 Tickets
Belt = 15 Tickets
Body = 30 Tickets

This would require some good amount of effort, But still more realistic a goal then happening upon some guy who's tossing his 6th Mekira body... Or if you went a Tier Route, Make it like DOminion Trophies... In a way, 5 Level 1 Tickets = 1 Level 2 Ticket, or something. Anything other than this.

----

On second thought, I'm going to keep the above as my last suggestion to the Evil Genie that is Square Enix, and I'm tired of being tricked. Fool me once... and so forth

This System will help some people get Chakrams and Mantis Eyes, but won't help anyone outside of that, and its ultimately a waste of time and development in its current state. I mean, its still an improvement, But in the same way that Being Kicked in the Face is an Improvement over being kicked in the Sack.

But Camate, Thanks in the end really, You've shown they're definitely listening, I just wish they listened... a bit better. Thank you truly for your clarification ^^

Can the devs mess up a wet dream anymore, really this is starting to get really funny.

Admittedly this is why I do VWNM as well. Its a fun challenging LS event that lets me play COR finally (after 2 years hibernating). I view these equipment rewards as the cherry on top. Great if you get it, but I'm not losing sleep, nor am I spamming fights and hoping to run into a favorable RNG. It's a bide your time activity until SE comes up with content that is engaging and gives one a sense of progress.

it's nice that the lucky bastards that win the lottery twice get an item that will likely have good value. Its at least incentive to keep doing the same fights once you obtain your gear. Still doesn't help the luck challenged at all.
