Walk of Echoes: Has anything changed?

[Luvbunny]

The problem with WoE is the reward vs effort ratio. With only a few fluxes worth spamming. And you need a good amount of Smn and other pet jobs (mainly summoner) and ranged DD. Other than that, you could try with your normal old school party and see if you can do it without having to resort to the tried and true Summoners Brigade strategy Not to mention, WoE is somewhat dead now, even on japan primetime. Mstaru in Bahamut server is organizing two runs per week on Wed and Sat night, 10 pm EST I think. Summoners job pretty much needed to clear Flux 15.

If you could reserve a walk for your group/shell WoE would be much more popular. The main reason why shells won't do it is because a solo person can join and profit from the effort of a large group. Not saying that the solo player is not contributing but more of the lack of exclusivity for the shell is what is undesirable.

I can personally remember going in with a group of ten and having a random solo pld/dnc come in and snag first, replacing one of the DDs in my group on the list and did not get a chest. That kind of pisses people off and makes them not want to do content. Also the fact that mages get boned in this event is kind of crappy too.

What are you smoking? WoE does not work like this at all, everybody gets a chest based on their personal contribution, it's not possible to be locked out of a chest unless the DD that was "replaced" threw a fit and left. Also, mages are far from boned. Maybe try the event instead of making shit up?

I'm not "making shit up" at all. This is actually how WoE worked the last time my group did it. I can tell by your reaction you have no idea though. Must have been before you started playing.

When did you do this? Walk of Echoes chest and loot distribution changed ages ago, you get your own chest, everyone come in pretty much solo and as SMN or BST, RDM or BLMs, RNG - pretty much do distance fight and burn them using avatars/pet. SE revitalizes WoE shortly back in 2011 when they did massive changes then it died very fast and only get busy during Japan prime time. Now it is dead period lol.

You're referring to when it was first introduced? Could have elaborated just slightly.

Flux 15 is still ridiculous, but can likely be done with two parties now if you have enough SMNs.

it could be done easilly with one party before. Just PD zerg the boss with 4 DDs (used MNKs), or make a fanatic's powder rotation (one powder should be more than enough now), and ignore any other mobs. Would be even easier now. WoE#15 is not different than any other. So you're probably the only one who need to "suck less". Pet job have always been terribad.

I've personally done ~30 WoE#15 with mules, totaling 200 chests w/o any pair of nomkhapa mittens so i just gave up and bought from bazaars.

[Caketime]

Now that's heart warming, thank you for those kind words. <3

Also, I was aware of the PD zerg method and am not surprised that you did it with mules, I can't imagine another real person would want to play with you for any reason.

[Draylo]

He's right though, you don't need to pet burn that and you never did.

[Caketime]

I wasn't disputing the possibility, never did.
