[dev1047] Thoughts/Feedback on "Legion"

[Alhanelem]

well, at least there is no waiting time, that's kinda nice.

Probably a stone System like vw and abyssea.

Well if the point buy items are good then it'll be ok. But if their like Assault items, largely useless, then your back to praying on the RNG gods. Also depends on what the drop rates are on the NMs inside.

Dreams...crushed

Camate would it be possible for you to check if the items you purchase with points are either :

a) Lower Quality or Higher Quality versions of the random items dropped?
Mekira Meikogai vs Mekira Toshugai for example.

b) Completely different items.

Thank you.

It sounds more like completely different items.

Dropped items/point items
The items you can receive via drops will differ from those that you can obtain by exchanging Legion points. Apologies if it was misconstrued from previous posts that they would be the same items. Essentially even if you lose a lotting battle to obtain an item, by participating in the battle and saving up points you can get a reward.

So, the rewards are a dichotomy, exactly like Einherjar. I wonder if the same developer primarily designed both events, since they're so similar. Not that the similarity is a bad thing. Einherjar was one of my favorite things back at 75.

Cool down timer for re-entry
There is actually [SIZE="7"]no cool down timer[/SIZE] and as long as the area is free and you are in possession of the key-item needed to enter, you can repeat this content again and again.

If there are only say x3 instances for 3 zones that will give us 9 zones total to use (guessing). I think there should be a timer to prevent overcrowding and hoarding of a zone by people. Remember not everyone has time to wait on others to try low man runs and etc. Even if its a 1 or 2 hour re-entry after a run would suffice in allowing more people access to these zones. Unless SE is making it true instanced than this won't matter.

no, you just pay the fee and get the thingymajig to enter. you can't keep paying to stay inside, it's only 30 minute time slots.

Alrighty, I have a couple answers to some questions I am seeing in this thread.

I can see it Now only 1 group can be inside at a time, 4 hours after update Sauromugue Champaign will be closed down for Emergency Maintenance. and moogles will be Stationed around the area telling us to play nice. not trying to be mean to you Camate. Just we've seen this happen many times before.

Can you Send word to the Dev team now to expect this. as awesome as no cool down timer is its going to cause issues. Maybe make its 1 -2 hour cool down to help ease the congestion atleast for the first week.

No cooldown...

My inner Admiral Ackbar is trying to tell me something.

[Arcon]

Depends. If it's too easy to get in regularly, and one group will lock the zone out, you'll be struggling to get in with competing parties. Guess it depends on how many instances of the battlefield they'll allow.
