Vanabout being linked to Ambuscade causes congestion.

Diversify the vanabout daily objective, players that want top ranking are spamming and causing congestion for everyone else.

I haven't been online again, but did they actually make Ambuscade objectives to waste time doing silly pointless things in ambuscade again?

LIke "cast wind in ambuscade" or "heal for 500,000 damage in ambuscade" as a daily or normal objective?

Square-Enix really needs to play their own games and think things through when implementing things.

They need to play like players too.

Naoki Yoshida "playing" XIV by boosting his character to max level, then giving him self all the glamour and best equipment isnt playing the game.

But he also says the game is so boring he is falling asleep, but he is the one in charge... you would think he would take is own experience, and improve the game, but ... I Just dont understand Square-Enix at all.

Ambu is something people do already, it really doesn't need to be a key focus for an event like this.

I'm not even bothering with Vanabout anymore, the objectives are just far too annoying and too much effort. I didn't last time either.

However the reliance on Ambuscade, makes the game more annoying for everyone else who isn't bothering with Vanabout too, especially the obtain hallmarks one. Congestion creator.

I will say the Ballista entry is a good idea, because it encourages players to do something that is hardly done normally (because the signup and participation system is so bad, really the only thing that should need to be done to do baliista as a new player is talk to the npc in the ballista zone)

If they had a daily for fishing it would be more fun. If they had a daily based on completing an assault in a group, it would be good. There are so many things they could do, but most of the objectives are just annoying and too much effort.

There weren't too many until today, which is a bit funny all at once:

- Clear an Ambuscade
- Heal 300+ Damage
- Deal 500+ Fire Damage
- Chain Attacks
- Normal or Higher

Maybe they are selected randomly at first, as a set, because I really don't want to imagine them manually setting things like Monster Rearing for the first day, which is extra nonsense due to the fact that the first day is not even a full day...

As a bonus, the Gallantry one-time objective was replaced with a Damage Received (75000) one, which took like almost an hour total to complete as a bard...

Certainly better than requiring Gallantry, but the damage required is just way too high.
