Wildskeeper Reive Feedback

[Fynlar]

My two recommended changes:

1) Entry KI should be consumed once you are present to see the Naakual die and get rewards, not upon entry. All these emergency maints you guys are doing are screwing too many players out of their bayld unfairly.
2) Make it so there are other *reasonable* methods of damaging a Naakual even at low colonization rates. As it is, people just COR army everything down, which is just boring. Most other DDs have no reason to go under these circumstances, because they will likely do a pittance of damage before being 1-2 shotted by the mob.

There needs to be an incentive/reward for collecting the Naakual crests. Currently, Dimmian doesn't even give a **** if you beat a Naakual, and the "Habitual behavior barometer" does absolutely nothing.

There is. Do the quest Order Up in Celennia library.

Having the first 3 naakual fights done lets you get one freebie of one of their drops, and having the next 2 fights done lets you get a freebie of one of theirs.

Why do you want feedback? You don't even listen to your player base anyway.

I find the entire system ridiculous. Myself and my husband are probably never going to get the clears on these monsters let alone any items from them. And I'm sure many others are feeling the same way. A huge amount of people are needed to fight these things, and once people have the items or clears they want they will NEVER go back to kill them. Leaving people who can't play for 12hrs during a week night out of the loop. I've heard reports of these fights taking anywhere from 1-12hrs to finalize, which makes me unsure of whether I'll actually get the clear if I spend my 75k bayld to enter the fight. To clarify, will the group in there be able to kill it in a reasonable amount of time before I have to log for sleep that night. I'm severely disappointed in the direction this game has taken. As others have stated on other forums, the gap between low man (hardly exists atm because SE seems to have forgotten about it) and the "hardcore" content is hugely imbalanced. It's sad really, I had hoped to enjoy this game for years to come still, but now that XIV is coming out I get the feeling SE is trying to drive people from this game to XIV by making this game a super grind fest again (not that I mind, but this new expansion takes it to the extreme).

Let's see what the current lowman and hardcore content in SoA are.

Hardcore

1. Wildskeeper Reives
2. Delve Megabosses

That's pretty much it. Now let's see lowman/solo/non hardcore content they've added

1. Reives
2. Skirmish
3. Coalition Assignments
4. Quests
5. Missions
6. Mog Garden(can make lots of gil off this)
7. Skirmish II(to be added in august)
8. Monstrosity(to be added in august)

I took out Delve plasm runs and Delve NM's from the second list. It's not hardcore content but it's also not lowman/solo. It is however able to be done by anyone willing to shout but everyone would rather just complain about it. Doesn't look "hugely imbalanced" to me. Even Wildskeepers can be shouted for, we had that happen here with the new ones, people shouted a couple days in advance a couple hours a day, set up a time and got 50+ people. Once they started a lot more came quickly after since they had seen the shouts for days. The Wildskeepers only took a couple hours to do.

Yes they could use an adjustment, mainly the Damage Taken should be closer to 50% only at 0% and go down 1% every 2% colonization. As it stands colonization will be to hard to keep up after a while as it takes enormous effort to raise the rates a decent amount.

SE asked for my opinion, I'm allowed to state it. If you disagree with it that's great, but don't rip apart what I said because you disagree.

Now let's take a look at those lists and see which items from the second list are better than the items from the first list.

Well, that's a short list. I guess people do have something to complain about.

People don't like this crap and / or they just can't do it for one reason or another. It doesn't matter if it's hard or not.

I mean seriously? You don't see why some people would be turned off by standing around shouting for hours, organizing 50 people and then doing an event that takes hours for often no reward at all? All while some other guy rakes in millions a day because he has 18 friends who happen to play at the same time as him? You must be eating paint chips.

You're the only one eating paint chips since you seem to expect to do content far out of your "level" range by skipping all previous content and jumping straight to megabosses/new wildskeepers. Old ones aren't even very hard anymore since the update. I wonder if people will even do skirmish II when it has weapons equal/better then delve plasm and armor better then plasm armor just because of /der, megabosses have better gear.

But you do need to have someone who has actually completed a wildskeeper reive (hardcore content) to pop the NM or enter the fracture, making it not 'the easiest thing in the world ever part 2' to do.

Almost everyone at this point should have a wildskeeper KI after the introduction of that new quest this update. There has been shouts for multiple wildskeepers al lthe time since people found out about the quest.

I don't expect to do anything out of my level range. I have delve gear and jobs Jobs that can get me into groups if I so choose. I don't want to be standing around in a circle with the other 200 people left on my server who could do the same 6 months from now. Most of the games population are not in linkshells that can do this stuff. They won't continue to pay forever for SE to make content that not only can they not do, but that leads to them being excluded from more content. Why this basic concept eludes you is beyond me.

Have you read the wildskeeper threads? Go check it out and get back to me on how everyone should be doing them.

Umm since we're just making insults uhh... Your face. There, I win.

PS. Did the 2 idiots who liked his post actually go back 10 pages to figure out what he replied to? Because it's pretty irrelevant now. Or, do you just click like on anyone who disagrees with me (it's great to have fans)?
