Dynamis Reborn!

[Gadanae]

I must agree with those that have plead their worry here on the forums about the future of Dynamis.

If Dynamis is made into an Abyssea-like zone, it will totally destroy Dynamis as we know. While MMM is not instance as was said, if they are going to do this to Dynamis they BETTER make instances possible in game. Otherwise chaos will result. Monopolization of mobs or certain areas of Dynamis will ensue. But let's not jump to conclusions folks. Adding xp to mobs in Dynamis is very cool for sure. But if it's SE's intent to make Dynamis into another Abyssea, or GOD FORBID another WoE.... please PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS SE.

Thank you.

if the repops of mob is like abyssea a single map can offer lots of camp where to farm for coin.
leave a clear route to move in the map without aggro so ppl doesnt have to overcamp and the trick is done.

i dont understand a thing.
WOE wasnt fixed that only ppl contributing enough will get lot on drops?
and they locked entry after an amount of time passed?

one is still able to enter and loot everythings except final chest?

Anyone could enter a WoE zone until half of the mobs in that wing had been killed. Anyone before then could enter, sit at the zone entrance, and lot anything that dropped, and indeed this happened quite a bit when I did WoE.

That said, I didn't get the impression that's what they were doing with Dynamis from the announcement. It sounded instanced to me, which amuses me because now that Dynamis is borderline-irrelevant, they're finally giving us something that would've made me very happy a few years ago. Oh well.

Yeah that's exactly how I felt when I heard the news. I remember REALLY wishing for an instanced Dynamis after rudely being ninja'd out of our own by some notorious jerky linkshells back in the day. ._.; It's not even a problem anymore, but with key item hourglasses making this event easy access, I could see it becoming a high interest again amongst many players.

I know everyone wants instancing, but lets be realistic here. The instances in FFXI are very limited and in relatively small zones, this is why you had so many people complaining about not being able to get into Nyzul or even Salvage. They are not going to instance Dynamis, they have said that over and over.

I'm curious about how SE will be implementing their Dynamis changes. Depending on how they do so Dynamis linkshells might see a huge revival, or they might be replaced by hordes of pickup (and static) groups... or Dynamis could end up as 'popular' as Garrison or Eco Warrior.

I await these forthcoming changes with no small amounts of both trepidation and anticipation.

Maybe it's just due to the newness of these forums, but after reading this thread I still find myself asking "Where is the original information regarding all these comments?" I don't seem to see any link in the OP nor elsewhere, so I'm unsure where the idea of changes being made to the current Dynamis systems even came from. Please clarify?

Ah, thank you. Yeah, I just dove into some of these subforums and didn't read all of that sidebar first. And.... Yeah... "Reservations will no longer be required to enter the [listed] areas." DO NOT WANT! I sincerely hope they're going to put something in place of the existing open loot pool.

I still do Dynamis regularly, and still enjoy it, but if they don't think ahead on this it's going to utterly destroy the entire system...
