    First off: /vote no. Voidwatch is already farrrr too easy thanks to the overwhelming amount of skill-killing temporary items. Provenance is the one place in Voidwatch that you CAN'T take an alliance of freshly-leveled abyssea noobs wearing perle and aurore gear and beat it simply by using 5 Void clusters all at one time, please do NOT take this away.

    • Adjustments to Legion
      Special characteristics will be attributed to the monsters that spawn.
      In addition to the reduction of stats such as HP, attack power, and defense, we will also be setting special monster weaknesses. While some monsters stats will see increases at the same time as the reductions, it will be possible to defeat them much easier than before the adjustment when attacking their weakness.
    NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, and again HELL NO. Just hearing the words "special monster weaknesses" calls to mind visions of abyssea and voidwatch where setup is determined by proc jobs, and mobs are frozen for open, mindless zerg-fest. Legion is FUN because it is one of the only events that is actually CHALLENGING in this game, do NOT take this away from us.

    This requires a much more detailed explanation as to how this is WON'T be a repeat of the proc-based disasters of prior events. Without such an explanation, this sounds like a terrible, terrible idea. PROC SYSTEMS ARE TERRIBLE!!! Now if it's more akin to disabling a certain TP move or ability...that's one thing, but the history with exploiting weaknesses is one of terrorizing the mob for mindless face-raping. I'm sure I'm far from alone in wishing for Legion NOT to suffer such a cruel fate.

    Other than that, I have nothing but cheer (or tolerance) for the rest of what Matsui said. I'm in favor of Perfect Defense and Embrava getting nerfed globally, and for the enmity adjustments, and Dark Knights getting face-raped twice as hard.

    Updating the auto-translate dictionary is fine...just do a study on what people actually USE in auto-translate...I.e: Don't get rid of such things as [Are you alone?] or [I don't know how answer that question.]

    That's my two gil on the matter...cheer at most of it, but utter revolt at the proposed adjustments to Legion and Provenance. I realize these are both heavily Embrava-reliant events at this time, but I would rather see them made unbeatable for a time by the masses than made too easy in fear that the Embrava nerf will prove too severe for those situations.

    How can I explain this to you... The sly eagle hides its claws.

    Are you trying to explain us you win provenance without procs and temps or something? Those fights are equally retarded as any other VW fights, clusters are good news if you dont have to gatehr 18 peopel to win. bringing 18 people =/= skill.
