What made the dev team think this event was a good idea?

[Crica]

if they were all afking, there wouldn't be any trouble skillchaining with the npcs, now, would there?

yes there would, since ppl just spam WS mindlessly, i watched for over an hour and even asked everyone why they were doing it, no answer at all was given, but the mindless WSing continued regardless

[Fawkes]

This is awful.

I see this happening a lot in the game last past couple couple of years, like when blu's are attempting to complete their Solo SC's in capacity parties, skirmishes, etc. while people with there characters are just spamming their weapon skills to do there dmg real quickly and it does irk me a lot of times when I can't complete my Solo Blu SC's after activating the job ability Chain Infinity to do the chaining, it feels like most have forgotten what it means to SC and what WS's really are in comparison and how to know what's the difference between the two specially with new players that join the game over the years after the ws'ing into sc'ing charts started to in way disappear in keeping up with the times to even past newly added weapon skills that were found to combine with another to form a skill chain.

I miss the days of the renkei charts you found online recordingly well written out on displaying a chart with its elemental pictures behind it with the appropriate weapon skill and categorized with arrow's displaying in between the direction from one weapon skill on to the next needed weapon skill to form that particular type of skillchain weather it was listed or rather the chart was shown it to do Induration, Compaction, Detonation, etc on the chart that really helped people out in the good old exp party many area's per level days as it faded with time that went on.

I know SE has only one npc at least in the game that at one point deployed only one skillchain and the type of skillchain that it made to a Q & A npc but what if SE made a full ws-sc chart for all in game, I'm sure it's been mentioned before so this where I'll end the discussion for now.

Great event, I couldn't complete a single objective in any zone due to dumb and afk players. I will remember this as the pinnacle of my FFXI experience alongside fish ranking.

I did finally finish this event. The ws objective caps at 200 so just get at least 21 non afk people to come spam ws and should be able to clear it. It was a bit more painful than some events but actually better than the Valentione's event from 2015. Shout in town to get people if you have to. Also you can unlock weapon skills on this guy so stick around and help out while unlocking weapons after you finish!

I was able to get my prizes, but other people have had Hero status for hours now and no prizes.

Still the same old gameplay. no one wants to team up for the SC.

I completed it yesterday, while annoying, I don't think it was as bad as the Moogle vs Goblin event.

Just completed the event, Got the Vana clock, which imo looks cool and Kupofried. Huge thanks to Frankenbob, Roruoni & Electrophobia for the help and staying till we all got it. Much easier when players work together on the objectives and the afk'ers get disqualified lol

[Castanica]

In a week nobody will be doing it at all, wait till then?
