    Omen Tips and Tricks.

    I haven't done it yet but would love to shed some light on some of the mechanics here so people know what to do going in there. Going to do a run tonight and see how it goes. Anyone know of any special mechanics or have done it and have an idea of drops rate and loot etc.

    If you don't fulfill the mini-objectives that rapidly disappear in the combat spam, you don't get cards. Gear only drops from bosses. Trash mobs can be AOE'd down pretty easily. Timed out on the mid-boss starting w/ 15min because it took like 10% damage from nukes and seemed to have wayyyyyyyy too much HP >_<;; Got zero rewards period since we were playing it safe at first and doing single pulls and clearing all the rooms, so we didn't fulfill the mini-objs. -_-;; The chat spam saying how many Omens are remaining is mystifying and annoying, since we have no idea what any of it means and get spammed enough to miss party communication macros.

    I'm thinking there should be at least a guaranteed 1x card per run added somehow, perhaps based on amount of time spent inside to prevent speedrun farming.

    If a group of 6x players spend 30+ minutes actually doing content, it feels really really REALLY lousy to get absolutely nothing for your time spent.

    We need a full explanation on exactly what we are supposed to be doing, what all the chat spam means, AND tell us how to properly filter it in our chat logs so that they don't get lost in the combat spam.

    Yeah I just did mine and it was pretty much fulfill and I got 1 card. For 30 min that is absolute garbage considering it is on a 20 hour lock atm. I wonder if they are gonna take the lock off? We did a lower difficulty it was pretty easy even on bosses I really wish SE would explain more exactly what is going on here because just like you there were several issues with chat log. The implementation seems to be that of FFXIV dungeon grind must do once a day feel. Like it but we should be able to go in as many times as we want I hope the 20hr is a way of just making sure not everyone does it all at once.

    What do you mean by "did a lower difficulty" ? As far as I'm aware, there is no way to select difficulty with Omen. :[ Unless I'm being dumb.

    Well, one way is to base the objectives off the people present, instead of give: Do 25 SCs to a BLM going solo.

    The number of actions required is intended to scale with group size. If you are actually getting the "25 SC" objective while solo, please PLEASE submit a bug report. ^^;; Since that would be a bug that needs to get fixed...

    If you meant the issues involved w/ melee jobs getting mage objs and/or mage jobs getting melee objs, then it would be a welcome adjustment to ensure that they are at least POSSIBLE with the player jobs in the party. It would also be greatly appreciated if there was something that could be done for pet jobs since pets currently don't seem to count towards ANY objs.

    So seems like
    *Do the objectives which give you a certain % of drop once you clear for a card the more you complete the more chance
    *The boss which was a Craver will say follow the light not sure how far his aoe range is but it is pretty far you want to run away from that he will do one that pulls you in and binds you than does another one that does a knock back

    Greetings, everyone.

    Based on the feedback that we have been receiving, we are planning to make adjustments so that there is more time to complete the objectives given during Omen. We are hoping to implement this as quickly as possible, so please hang in there while the team finalizes the adjustment.

    Can you also make it so that pet and Trusts can help, or that it's more accurate if they're suppose to. I've missed quite a few SC objectives and X HP DMG while doing my runs, even though I know that I should have gotten them.
