WoEs

[katz]

So you advocate doing abyssea over WOE because you do both with a group for coins or skins. Makes as much sense as saying get a WOE group or Get an abyssea group, just dont go solo. Seems to be alot of rat pack syndrome. "i cant do it solo, therefore no one should"

[Alhanelem]

You'd be the one shouting... thus you'd make the rules to get what you want. Sure not all of the groups happen but a lot of them do at least on my server they do since I see the same people who shouted for Briareus now shouting for Sobek.

You know what, I've tried that a bunch of times. Getting people by shouting isn't as easy as you think. I, nor the first one or two people I persuade want to wait an hour or more just to form a group to maybe kill an NM once or twice out of the 30 times needed.

WoE is substantially faster, and that's why it's available as an alternative.

Something must be wrong with how you shout.

It takes 2 people(3 for TH if you aren't THF tanking) to kill 80 and 85 NMs. Anyone else is there for procing yellow/blue/red !! as desired. Unless you want to have plenty of bodies to throw at Sobek.

My friend and I tried duoing WoE single coins from crabs/antlions and in 3 weeks we got 1 coin I wanted and my friend got 0 before we gave up on soloing. In an additional 3 weeks with a WHM we got 50 helms for my sword and 50 for his katana, that's with KI farming from the NMs. It took us a month to get 50 skins for his katana with AoE Farming KIs a few days we did other things and a few lost Sobek's due to crazy Tyrant Tusks.

If you honestly think you can farm 30 coins that you need solo in 7 weeks, you're either crazy, luckiest person ever, or found a way to hack drops.

As I am sure many of you are curious about Walk of Echo adjustments, we managed to grab the dude in charge and confirmed a couple details. The below points outline the current direction the devs are looking into:

• Change Walk of Echoes into an 18 person reserved battlefield
• With the move to a reserved battlefield, the time limitation will be changed from 45 minutes to 30 minutes
• Revamp rewards granted upon clearing the battlefield
• Abolishment of additional rewards to players who are evaluated highly
• Change so that the whole party receives the clear title instead of just the highest evaluated player
• Addition of higher tier Walks of Echoes

They will continue to be exploring the specific content from here on out, so please feel free to leave any feedback!

So basically no more weapons for the soloists. Dont understand this game. Made relics soloist with the changes to dynamis and removed emps by making it 18 man. I guess I can throw away the coins Ive saved because they are useless now.

Thank you camate maybe now it won't suck but not holding my breath.

With the battlefields becoming reserved, will there still be a 30 minute cooldown between different groups accessing the battlefield? If not, it will be
30 minutes fighting > 30 minutes cooldown > same group enters.
Without the cooldown, it could be
30 minutes fighting (group 1) > 30 minutes fighting (group 2) > group 1 can enter again.

If not, I can see the confluxes being bogged down by solo/duo people, who can lock everyone else out of the conflux until they are done with it.

I doubt that people will team up to clear #2 instead of killing 4 or 5 mobs in #1 or #3, even with these changes.

I don't understand the logic in doing things as a "soloist" in a massive multi-player online role playing game. Want it for an achievement of some sort? Cool then deal with it the way it works now, or works in the future but don't complain when a MMORPG doesn't cater to a "soloist"

[Byrth]

Unless I missed something, he didn't say there was a minimum number of players to enter. So you could enter zones solo and take up the half hour. It's still possible to solo your weapon, but you have to actually solo it.

[katz]

The trouble is it does cater for solo players. Its FOV design is for more solo players. The group activiities are only what ever is flavour of the month. At the moment its AF3 2 armour. But if the group has finished the mob it moves off and the event is left behind. Where is the challenges for the groups going to be when you have all got your armour and 1 person is left behind. Its always sorry we have finished doing that go get it solo. Well that effectively means you arent going to get it done. Look at all the posts that people are saying they cant do it because no group wants to go whether its Nyzul Limbus Sky Einherjar. Look at all the individual posts for changes to single jobs because they feel their group isnt utiliing them because they dont have x y or z skills because another job has it. Whether you like it or not this game is about individuals as much as it is about groups. MMORPG is about co operation amongst single people. If you have more time than the next person how many groups do you have to belong to get things done. How often do you run out of stones because you use them with a different group. So whats left for you to do. Wait 6 hours for maybe 1 hour of game play because thats the time the groups are on together. Yeah you can keep your group activity no one crafts in a group. Dont expect craft materials to be the ah because single people usually farm those. Why should these be the only activities left for the soloists. I work harder than any of your group leeches who may hit a mob once or twice I deserve more rewards not less.
