Round 1 (NIN/WAR 99) Round 2 (NIN/DNClol)

Thoughts on content:

The DKP system on drops which is what will inevitably take place is kind of a bummer. It would be nice to use credits towards all drops. While the chance to not have to spend credits through random additional loot pool drops is great, having the "Dropped" rewards, different than the "Bought" rewards limits player's accessibility towards working on accomplishing that goal. The real satisfaction of walking away from an event knowing you gained at least a small portion of some goal is a very welcoming environment for players to thrive and enjoy their various events, even if they need to do a repetition of content. Individual growth potential through all events is a plus in my book.

The Wyrm, Behemoth, and Turtle room was sort of a bland environment to have such an epic battle in. I really liked that VwNMs were scattered around the globe in different zones and surroundings. Maybe the terrain is designed to create some form of strategic advantage for friend or foe alike, I do not know. It would be nice to see some scenery and maybe a little bit more lore to why there is a 5th book floating around out there. Did Hogwarts' library unionize and rehire with SE? I am cool with that.

 -System:

I do agree that 30 minutes pushes it to become a straight zergfest. I do not mind such fests because they are very fun. It could become very formulaic over time and limit job selection down to the "ideal" configuration. I do not mind temp items. An endless supply of them does tend to be broken, maybe limit the frequency of the bonus monster but also give the same temp to everyone in the room rather than the sole person. A time extension or a little bit of a reduction in the hit points would make it a bit easier to clear I imagine, but we do not want to make it boring and super easy. I didn't recall how often we can enter, twice an earth day I think would be good, do not have to spend all day in there, but you can also at least re-roll after your first attempt. Even if you wipe your first one, the mistakes are fresh in your mind and you get another crack at it with the same group.

 -Battle:

This was a hoot! Very very fun. I was glad that I saw my ninja actually be able to build TP at a reasonable rate, they were very evasive and blindga, paralyzega, etc... made it very fun to get some hits landed. Rapid de-buffs made it difficult to keep re-raise (and shadows) up. Anyone nearby can get all of their buffs taken away, which is rough for recoveries. I think RR shouldn't be dispel-able. Food gone? That's fine, I can eat tacos instead of salad, or sushi and buns, rather than pizza and curry. Also some sort of safe zone is something I agree with.

Other feedback and opinions:

Was great to play with you guys, I hope I didn't do too badly. The concept of taking players onto the test server for a testing event is very fun! Wish you guys had a cyber cafe lol.
