Well for the coins, I'm assuming they are going to raise the drop-rates on those from the 'regular' monsters.
Though from what they have provided, it's not exactly clear anymore if you will even get any rewards from them, if you were to not successfully complete the battlefield...

Can't really be sure about anything right now, but I would assume you would get a lot more coins from the little monsters. If not, it would be madness to restrict it to once per day (earth time).

I already mentioned somewhere what I think about it, but let it be said again, it's stupid no matter what the drop-rates are because I actually enjoyed being able to do it once per day (game time), and I liked spending a day or two, or a week (earth time) doing nothing else than that all day long with my friend.

For the time being, it does not look like said friend will be playing ever again, and my own continued patronage is not much more likely, but it would indeed be seriously unfortunate if it were to be restricted to once per day (earth time).


Blubb! =\

I hope they really hear our plee and do not make it once per RL day.

I don't care what "Fixes" They can implement because of this restriction, it will not be worth it.

SE is pretty good at fixing problems poorly. lol.

I think a big problem is that most of the activities that are scored highly in a WoE battlefield aren't actually useful in the fight, if not outright detrimental.

They're good in Campaign or Besieged, but they're actions and tactics that no sane person would use in a "battlefield" situation, at least not unless they were trying to game the system.

Let me put it this way: the point system seems to have been created by the same people who think PLD is useful in group activities to begin with.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Monster item drops and lottable spoils will be abolished.
New rewards will be added.

Is it just me, or do these two statements seem mutually exclusive?

"The once-per-Vana’diel-day entry restriction will be preserved."

Where do people get the RL day restriction from?

It could also mean you will now start seeing shouts for WoE that ask for more then just 5 people now.

Does anyone know when these changes will take effect?

First, The post you quoted is old, secondly, this:

Howdy!

As there has been quite a lot of feedback already on the topic of Walk of Echoes adjustments, we’d just like to confirm the type of system everyone really wants, one more time.

We’d like to decide what the best option for the renewed system is based on your feedback, so please post your opinions by 7/18 (Monday).


(1)Original open-access system

•Proceed with adjustments based on the current system.

(2)Change to reservation system

•For the reservation system, we are planning to make it similar to regular battlefields. It will be different than Dynamis and Assault.
•Planning to make entry limited to once per real world day.

We are also looking into the below regardless of which system we chose to adopt:

•Reward revamps
•Item drop rate on regular monsters
•Difficulty level of Magian-related trials that require different types of coins

When responding to this post, We ask that you please begin your post with "1" or "2" so that we can easily tally the votes up during our information gathering.

Is the info I was basing this off of, which is literally at the bottom of page 26, And that post was made before these recent updates.

I bold, Italicized, and Underlined the area in which i got the "1 real life day" Restriction from.

That was if they brought in a reservation system - which they are not doing.
