[dev1047] Thoughts/Feedback on "Legion"

[Coldbrand]

What the Hell are you talking about? All I do everyday is Voidwatch with, get this: 18 people.

SE is trying reborn the "End game"

How handle this kind the stuff?

Just dont fucking Panic when SE say "Neeed massive amount of people"

A competent group in my opinion will be cleaning the first tiers without problems. Only the last tiers will need massive amount of people.

Im sure 4 strongs DDS, whm, Cor, Brd, 1 sleeper and Perfect defense will be owning here.
For normal Mobs keep your DDS buffeds and sleep the adds
For the Mega boss Perfect Defense, bard 2 hour and zerg it down, if a rdm is present Chainspell stun while the zerg.


If your have a Small Linkshell 6 - 10 "skilled" players you will be rocking here!
So dont panic, only is necesary know how handle einherjar/Dynamis STuff.

I hate say this but "Low man groups are 6 - 9 people". Some people want MONK + WHM duo 90% the stuff or say Ohhh noezzz not iss casual, if u want duo/trio 95% the game Go play a RPG Offline.


The Good

Will bring challenge and place for use the full potential of jobs lv 99.

The BAD

DRG, MONK, THF, NIN, PUP, BLU, BST Will be discrimed again here -_-.

The horrible&stupid mentality of SAM ONRY and "maybe" WAR&DRK if you have a empyreal will return :_:.

People want Duo everything probably will quit after of see is necesary as minimiun 8 ppl, great players will be lossed here just because they refuse play with more than 3 people.


Talking about progression ration and drop system.

Tamoa gave a idea some months ago.
The idea She/He gave was awesome in my opinion.
Lets say i receive 2000 points per win.

The luxury armor i need cost 100k points. I know already how many time i need grind this new system for obtain my armor, no more "Random Coffer rewards" that sux.

If the full set the armor i want cost

75k Head
100k Body
75K hands
75k Legs
75k feet
50k per ring
50k earring

I know after some months playing this event im gona Pimp my character and then the "Grind feels worth"

"I hope the DEVS reconsider and dont implement the VW/WoE drop system or that will ruin the progression ratio and will be a fail like VW"

The price should be paid per person, instead of one person having to foot the 360k gil price. Make it 10-12k a person with each person paying, instead. Since you get more stuff with more people, it makes more sense not to have to pay the full price with fewer.

It doesn't have tiers. It just has three different battlefields.

Yeah i missed this point too. I hope they reduce the cost or pay 15 - 20k per person. 360k is a lot of money probably the small linkshells will be playing this event 2 times per week max. In my case im not worry. You my galkan friend will be paying my 360k everytime i want play <3 ^_^ j/k

Is there something stopping you from trading gil to the person paying the cost? Did I miss a change to one of the core features of the game?

Right, because people really want to waste 5-10 minutes of their time doing this. I HATED linkshells that worked this way for Dynamis. But the real point of this is the cost should be based on the number of people that enter, not a fixed cost no matter how many or few.

It is much quicker and simpler for each person to pay their own way than to have somebody collect money from everyone.

If the 360k key item is reserving the zone/instanced battlefield like Einherjar you would buy it then pass it out like lamps.

That part is simpler at least. There is just one item, or two if you have two alliances. It doesn't need to be passed around to everybody.

If it doesn't have procs, you mean. Nobody wants procs. This event is all about bashing as much shiat in as you can. Who would waste time proccing? You get more points and more loot the more stuff you kill. A proc system would slow that down.

Seriously. No procs please. We have enough "proc events."

An event like this without procs is going to truly return the game to level 75 tactics of fielding only the jobs best in their specialty and that would be a complete joke. If the base is too naive to realize this then they can enjoy the shouts of:

"LFM SAM SAM SAM WAR WAR WAR WAR MNK MNK only"

Like it or not, procs are good for XI when used only as a way of stunning the enemy. I don't care for the temp item dumps or crucial procs that make or break fights/loot spread but to say that procs are bad in a large scale event is silly when XI is swimming in jobs that just cant catch a break at endgame.

The event can be tough and still have a way of encouraging job variety.

Excellent.
