[dev1000] Dynamis Reborn!

[ZeDingo]

This is perhaps the most unlikely situation to occur if the NMs are popped by triggers. It demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge or experience in other facets of the game.

For instance, almost every NM in Abyssea is popped by a trigger. Nobody can block you out of them. They might be able to pop one before you if they spam the ???. It's just luck really. But you're stopping them just as much as they're stopping you and with 1 minute ??? repops it's not even a big deal. The only thing that they can do is perhaps try and hold an NM so that the ??? can repop. If this is the case, you can simply GM them (it is against the ToS.)

"It demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge or experience in other facets of the game."

??? mark repops 1 minute after NM dies, not 1 minute after you pop it.

... presuming the GMs will actually do something about it.

Spend some time in Abyssea, and you will see the cockblockers out in full force at prime times.

I once was ordered to pay somebody not to block us from getting a Heqet.

I told him to kiss my entire rotund behind.

I was also then expelled from my alliance.

And if you would've reported them for it, you would have gotten a form letter response from a GM telling you to go to the site and report them to the STFU. Average wait time for retribution: 5-7 days.

Nice try with the veteran card attempt there, but with four full sets AF3+2, a completed Verethragna, a nearly completed Kannagi and a nearly 80 Ukonsvarasa I'm certain I've easily experienced more Abyssea than you. Certainly enough to say that your complaints are a bunch of nonsense. Competition there is really not that bad. Turn back the clock a little and perhaps compare it to other elements of the game. The disruption that RMT could cause in sky due to the non trigger nature of the NMs there, for instance, heavily exceeded any sort of disruption that I've ever encountered in Abyssea.

Perhaps you missed the part where I covered this by bringing up the GM? If you don't think they respond, maybe try calling them when you have a legitimate issue. I've seen an SGM pop up for this exact purpose within about 15 minutes of being called.

I still help run a strong Dynamis LS, and these changes are both scary and exciting. We have worked hard over the years to create and run our LS. It would be really terrible if some random person could just enter your dynamis zone and lot your hard earned gear like they do in Walk of Echoes. The lower re-entry time would be very nice. I just hope it will be fair to the sponsor's and their need/want for all the required coins for their relic weapon. Please allow our LS to still only run as a LS completely separate of people we don't want in our zone. You all know the types, the ninja lotters the players who lot a level 75 piece and that job is only level 5 or not even unlocked... I trust SE to fix it however I do not really believe it is broken to begin with... Why fix what isn't broken? (let the flames begin but I only wanted to speak my mind) (yes the drop rates could be better esp for those 'elusive' drops but it is what it is)

If Dynamis winds up dumbed down to become a casual event where any average Joe can get a relic weapon, my big question becomes: "Where in Vana'diel is there any challenge left?"

Granted, Dynamis has been gradually been getting easier and easier as time goes by and level caps are raised, but it really was the biggest challenge the game had ever seen. With Dynamis going casual, there is no longer any endgame. It's just nonstop midgame, which has never been what FFXI was about. There's always been something that would beat you toothless if you made a single slip up or didn't quite have the strategy down quite right, and striving to conquer those things are what made the game fun to me.

Well, i am waiting to see how all this going, if is another 'too easy' implementation of SE to obtain relic weapon, even after what they made already [E.Wep], then i guess ill invest my 20$ into something that bring me a better challenge. SE is a company and i can understand they wan the mass instead of quality, so be it. I just hope they know what they are doing.

I for sure /welcome alternative from SE (like they did for E.Wep and AFV3) but not to the point crash all what they made just because mr. lazy is unhappy to not be on top of everything, to me is lack of respect for they hardcore player.

This is a rough Google translation about the changes to Dynamis by a Dev this morning EST.

Thanks for posting!

Dynamis design changes are quite so high-impact story
I think we are more anxious.

Check the specification has been believed to be particularly necessary in the progression of this thread.
Since assuming the current specification only, that there may be changes
Please confirm the assumption.

----------

* The exclusive right of monsters and loot
Will be treated the same as normal field.
I think you'll conspicuous imagine the same format as it captures Abisea.

* The loot drop rate
For costumes and Relic is not expected to change.
For the money, so more opportunities to try to reduce the number of times I tried to get one,
Tuned to a slight increase in circulation throughout the world.

I roll my eyes every time I see someone pointing the "easy" way the game is becoming and its starting to hurt my eyes.

And making relics easy to get is not making "mr lazy" on the top, cuz the top has just been raised, and it will further be reaised once we get to 99, so the "mr masochist" can still grind the hell out of the new fancy e-peen enhanching gear it will be abalible or if they love their relics so much, SE is going to (and already has) provide ways to upgrade said gear to the point it will rival the newer sets, let people lazy their way to the "NQ relic" and you can work for the HQ instead...

You amusing me when you calling hardcore player 'masochist', seriously if we not happy we just going to look for something else, it call a challenge my friend, obviously you have no clue what that word mean, that explain how you end to use the word 'e-peen' again me. I never cared about my mandau, if you would know me better, my search comment in FFXI for last 2 YR say: MANDAU IS A DA$N GA$BAG$. So ya before thinking it just make me feel better then anyone else, do more research. You mix up everything, also when you say:

if they love their relics so much, SE is going to (and already has) provide ways to upgrade said gear to the point it will rival the newer sets

Having an option to upgrade relic weapon, and having SE turn what took us 2yr to accomplish now possible to finish in 2 month is huh... different story.... Destroying an even that still have people loving to do even after 7yr just because mr.lazy was not loving the even from base is again .... Like i said, is not like SE did not gave alternative to dynamis gear/relic, And before reborn dynamis, why not reborn Sky, Sea, Campaign and so much more where clearly no one care anymore? No one even love that much WoE, why not issue that first instead?

And just a reminder for your love of the 'too easy' game mode, back in the time when people was looking at someone with maat cap, they was amaze about the work, everyone now can get a maat cap, even the noobest player in FFXI that freshly joined FFXI can do it in 1 month. So ya, don't expect same respect because now is nothing exceptional anymore.

Is same story as Real Life, you can have a 150,000$ house or a 1,500,000$ house, that change zip nothing outside be proud of your success, again there always hater to say how you cheated everyone to get what you have, that parts never going to change (In game or in RL).

Hint, as far i know, most are scared by the communist and strongly think capitalist is the best system in the world, but these same people are crying of the injustice about how some have more then other, choose your side, and stop complaining. (Not arguing about what system is the best, capitalist or communist imo are both the same, just different way to work around, none are perfect and of course can be handle the wrong way, so please don't derail with this part, not opening a door of discussion for political/doctrine issue.) Was just pointing how in general everyone like to complain about everything to have the best world for they self, and careless about other.

On side note, i never looked at anyone gear, that part never made me care, same as in RL i never look if the the grass of my neighbor is more green then mine. Anyone that know me on fenrir know i never look at they gear, ive been leader for 6yr long, and anyone can tell you they had to ask me: Ilax /check me, look what i got. Because i never look at them, not even to my friend, the only one i like to check in game is* Ext, but that another story line...

The only part that always frustrated me is when i see stupid thing like a RDM with Duelist's chapeau doing his enf. magic with Vermillion Cloak or a BLM trying to sleep monster with his super MAB setup and i can point more... Outside that, i really don't care, i saw way too many skilled player with poor gear doing 100x better. Of course, who have the best gear can mean they have lots of experience and they know how to play they job, but hey, that was not even close to be true for 8yr long, and for sure you can expect that be even more false now.

Is SE choice to do what they want and is my choice to play the game or not, so yes, am just waiting to see how it is, like i said this sound scary idea to me (to not say real bad idea).

Anyway, think there enough said here.
