WoEs

If I were to guess it probably involves where you trade the coins to the chest since the "quests" probably haven't been programmed to deal what happens when they receive a stack of 99 as opposed to a stack of 12.

Nonsense. Most (or all) of the items with changed stack sizes are traded to the very chest you speak of. Trading all 50 or 75 at once has no issues.

You don't need 99 coins either, you only need 30. It's just that items only stack 12 or only stack 99.

I guess I was hoping for WoE to be a non-endgame endgame event, but that's not the direction this seems to be going, or where people want it to go.

Ah well. Something else to put on the back back back burner next to Limbus and Einherjar.

Why can solo/duo limbus easily.

Thanks for all your opinions regarding the changes to Walk of Echoes

There were some questions both here and on the Japanese forums, so here is some additional info on what’s being planned:

You mostly answered the questions that were obvious to most smart people, minus maybe one or two.
Didn't really answer any of the important questions. Though, I suppose you're limited there.

There will be no reward if you fail to clear the area.



It will be removed. Think of it as all the items up till now will be either added or taken away from each player’s rewards.



We are planning to have the number of rewards you earn vary based upon your evaluation.

Thank your for the response, as we're all very eager to hear about the fate of WoE. However, the last couple statements left more questions than answers. Based on this info, it sounds like treasure chests are being eliminated entirely from WoE. What will the reward system now be? Just a broad idea would be great! Is it a point system like Campaign (allied notes) or like Einherjar (Ichor) perhaps that the user can choose to exchange for what they need? We're dying to know... Surely it's not JUST the base coins that drop off the normal monsters in WoE, correct? As this would leave us with virtually no incentive to clear an area. Thanks!

I think it's been mentioned many many times that your 'evaluation' system simply does not work. It heavily favours certain jobs such as PLD and DNC whereas support jobs are generally evaluated poorly.

This is a huge part of the current problem with Walk of Echoes in that certain jobs can enter with you solo, spam abilities, contribute nothing to the fight and yet walk away with a 1st place chest.

And Dnc Is a DD? a Mainhealer? a Tank? Its a varyable Supporter Type >_>

Though WoE evaluation System has mostly Dmg dealt or Taken in Favor that is the real issue.

Seriously thu add more use to WoE weapon-Trails except being a weaker Empy version. They got the potential!

[Alkimi]

Meant more solo dancers, who just come in and spam abilities/feed unnecessary TP for the sole purpose of ranking highly. They're not supporting anyone but themselves.

The personal chest for everyone idea (which is what it looks like it will be) isn't terrible, but basing it off a flawed evaluation system that punishes mage jobs is. What happened to their original plan of just making it an 18-person closed BCNM style event.

Why is it even an issue if the coins arent stackable to 99, you only need 30 per weapon to upgrade, and if youre coin hoarding doing omfg5 weapons at once to the point you need that many coins at once, you are one of those obsessed players who has to have everything they want at once, trying to do it off a system that does not really work for that kind of thing. Secondly, in my personal opinion, why are people even complaining bout how hard it is to obtain a 'lesser' empyrean weapon when its double the time consumed to make one compared to the actual BETTER weapon? This doesnt make any sense to me to be honest.
