Nyzul Isle Uncharted information and feedback

[Gippo]

People defending SE's horrible system need to wake up. While those defending it may be happy in perle gear and lvl 40 when they get kicked out, the root of the problem lies in the fact that you absolutely cannot reach floor 100 without apradar, j0wait, clipper, or at the minimum, chocoflee and fillmode. When the majority of the playerbase figures out, if they havent already, that this is not average content, but content that caters to cheaters, they will stop doing it , if they havent already.

If there is no way to save progress or increase time/floors you ascend to, this entire event is a giant FU from SE that obviously rushed it through development. I'm not asking for a way to start at 95 every time, but given the less than 1% chance you even make it to floor 100, and the 30 minute wait, whats the point....

/sea all nyzul > oh 6 ppl inside, 6 that wont go too much longer.

Funny part is, people will be running around with the HQ stuff soon and information will soon be revealed that will help us lol. So far from what I've seen, Is noone offering information on their progress and some of the new Nms. Maybe it was lucky, but I got to floor 37 and we exited and SAVED our progress to our discs. Next time I went, we got to floor 40 with 10 minutes remaining, and 2 floors were lamps that sucked up like 10 minutes due to unlucky orders. Maybe saving progress on higher floors and exiting to get credits can increase the amount of floors you climb to on each ???. Give it a week or 2 and record your progress. Stop complaining about how your never going to get this and it's a waste of time.

Maybe.

I've been to floor 60, Recorded, and Won, And my next run was a whooping 47. So far, No one has reported any significant difference With higher Recorded Disc.

My opinion on recording? The reason you can record on your Disc is they likely just not only full on Copy > Pasted the Event/Mobs/Floors/Objectives, but the Help-Text too, Including the "recorded" bit.

They forced everyone's disks to floor 100 completion on the test server and there was no difference.

Here are some stats/analysis for the interested: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/109...=1#post5049491

Even more depressing to see the impossibility in math form. Yet another event where Square dangles some awesome carrots, but keeps them at a ridiculously low drop rate (Voidwatch) or involves the equivalent of winning a Rank 1 prize in the Mog Bonanza (Neo Nyzul). Each update makes me miss the Abyssea dev team more and more.

[Fupafighter]

Cool thanks lol. But aren't things on test server sometimes different? Like coruscanti working? lol

I wonder, if they gave you a 10 minute time extension for beating a boss floor (20/40/60/80/100) would it be sufficient enough to be able to climb to 100 consistently without luck?

I'd imagine then that you'd have to ??? to get close to a boss floor, then go up in singles though I'm unsure whether that is more viable than going gung-ho ??? and only doing a boss floor if you're 1-2 away...

edit:: and cap it at 30 minutes maximum

[Greatguardian]

If they did? Sure. Did they? No. People have completed multiple boss floors (20 + 40) in a run and never seen a TE.

I have to agree with the vast majority here. I was amped for this content when they announced it. Not only would it provide me with a new outlet to obtain Alex for the Mythic, but it looked like it might be something a lot more fun.

I built a party that looked a little something like this:
NIN/WAR (Empy)
NIN/WAR (Empy)
MNK/WAR (Empy)
THF/NIN (Empy)
BRD/WHM (Very well geared)
WHM/RDM (very well geared)

Our first run was a test to see what the difficulty was. The objective was nothing more than observation.

Floor 1: All
*hit ???*
Floor 3: All
*hit ???*
Floor 11: Specific Enemy
*hit ???*
Floor 15: Lamps (Everyone hit the 1 lamp)
*hit ???*
Floor 21: Leader (Nothing special: Some Porgoggo)
*hit ???*
Floor 27: Lamps (Everyone hit the 1 lamp)
At this point we were at around 2:50 seconds remaining and were supposed to exit... but the WHM hit ???
*hit ???*
Floor 31: All

Result:
- We finished with about 13 seconds to spare and cleared Floor 31
- None of our ??? items appraised for anything... and the most impressive NM we killed was Megalobuggard
- My reward (as the armband) was 650 Tokens
- NMs drop Alex, but at a very low rate. We walked out with 3 of them.

Our remaining runs were spent ignoring floors 20-40-60-80 and trying to climb as high as possible. Of all of our 4 runs, we only made it as far as floor 57 before exiting.

4 runs isn't a lot, but I can say that from our experiences... the 2-9 floor jump is accurate. We never went higher than 9 in one hop.
