Dynamis Petition

[Mikumaru]

I am sure by this point everyone is tired of hearing people crying about Dynamis in it's current state . I am a veteran player from the 1M Hourglass days and have reached my breaking point with this frustrating change . People make post after post griping and Square doesnt seem to be listening . I ask for your help to make them hear us .

If you agree that Dynamis should be adjusted to more suitably fit its current state of Solo/Low man grouping mainly going after Job Ability Procs monsters by increasing the number these targets , drastically shortening their respawn timers , removing the silly stagger system all together , or by some other means make every Dynamis Zone able to handle more than 3 people/groups please sign/post

I know this seems like an open invite for all the trolls , DBz , and other 'know-it-all-stop-crying-cuz-i-am-so-full-of-awesome' posters to do what they do best and derail this thread , please exercise some restraint and let a guy at least illicit a response from some who actually matters (not you) .




I think we would all agree that a challenge lies in the difficulty of a fight ,or fulfilling a prereq . not a slow pace . Not only dynamis but many other aspects of the game are in this realm . Challenge has been replaced with waiting . When glasses were a million gil , not only were the drops low but the whole of dynamis required team work , communication , patience , perseverance , a couple well placed sac pulls , and a 72 hour wait after wiping . Dyanmis was a challenge . Its not now . The challenge has been replaced with sparse monster populations and a stagger system so asinine it makes many wonder what the DEVs were smoking when they created this brain child of idiocy .

So please if you want to see a positive change help make it happen .

Miku~

I do agree that Dynamis is easy, I wish we had THE OPTION of doing dynamis the old school way and have it be 3-4 hours long however it used to be by paying a small fee to have a reserved zone that is a reserved zone that you can go in and do strategised pulls and come out with a decent amount of currency.

Well, I just want to point out that just because you do not like the new dynamis, does not mean no one likes it. Stop acting like you are speaking for everyone. Some people like it, and some people don't. I get tired of people saying "the dev arent listening." your blind in the thought that just because you want something and just because they arent changing it for people that share your opinion, means they are not listening. Now, i am not saying I agree with everything they do. They arent doing a lot right, but they are not doing everything wrong either. I was also here back when dynamis was a 4 hour event 2 days a week too. And although I had fun while it lasted, I got bored with it real fast personally. 4 hours of repetitive shit that you must attend every week, twice a week or else you are SOL. And I know a bunch of people that feel that same way as well. Now I dont like everything about the new dynamis but thats just me and I am not going to get into that. But stop saying the dev are not listening just because they are not doing what YOU want. You may call me a troll, I call it having my own opinion. Wake up. Its not all about you. Stop being so ignorant.

none of this is currently happening of course because Dynamis is currently no where near as repetitive as it was before . 100% dynamic . I am not thinking of me , this would benefit everyone . Waiting around gets nothing done , Square should know by now that 99% of all the players are goin to take the easiest road possible which translates into EVERYONE kills EP mobs with JA procs . People even go in RDM/DNC to JA proc . i dont hink asking for at least a much faster respawn rate is being selfish , ignorant , being asleep , or anything you may wanna opinion-ate about .

it's not SE fault lot of players are stupid. easiest road != best road

the only issue with dynamis is lack of BALANCE between Ws/JA/magic proc

They arent stupid , they are doing what comes naturally . the easy road is the best road . It happens in nature . Electricity follows the path of least resistance (it's called Ohm's Law) . I think the better idea than reposting what we know has been posted in other threads would possibly be to lend your voice and say "i agree with the OP . "This Idea" would make Dynamis more suited to more players/groups . Balancing out Proc rate would of course imporve this . 100% . I know if i had an equal chance of proccing between JA/MA/WS i would stick to the currency i am currently in need of for the weapon i am making instead of switching mobs every 8 game hours . But why stick to WS or MA procs and get 45-75 coins when i can roll thru the JA procs and do 120+ (mobs permitting of course when there arent more than say 8 ppl in the zone cuz it cant handle more than that ) . Maybe if ppl post less "Players are dumb/your ignorant/i'm smarter" and more suggestion to improve the system or not post at all (dread the thought ,right ?) so that maybe this would show no interest in this subject ? no , we cant do that . we play FFXI .

easiest road is the best? we kill EP/DC "easier" than T/VT mobs so why didn't we xp on EP/DC before abyssea?


i never said you should go on WS/magic proc, i said it's stupid to stay on EPs with a pt when they'd get more currencies/forgotten item fighting DCs

Also, what about challenge? In my experience I never see this big challenge if you just enter dynamis to farm. You need to know just how to move, things to do. It's exaclty as new dynamis in this point: you need to know where TEs are, camps, mob to fight, which proc...

actually in old dyna 75% of the alli didnt need to know anything but how to do a /assist macro and /autotarget of

I don't see what challenge there was in old school dynamis. The "challenge" was actually managing to kill mobs with the random gimps/leeches that the leaders let join the LS lol. most of dynamis was doable with 2 balanced merit parties, 3 for DL, say. and 1 DD party could make a decent amount of coins too.

They changed dynamis to something really good.. if someone is at your camp, change camp ? its not hard. The lv 95 mob camps are often free and the mobs proc faster/ drop more coins/ more forgotten items, despite taking longer to kill. You cant complain them being too hard at level 99, now you have signet's evasion and def boost since they are decent challenge.

you are 100% right , hitting a monster with Quickstep/Box step/Violent Flourish/Studder step 2 or 3 times to ensure a coin drop is surely a challenge compared to the team work needed before especially since the the largest TE required killing the Zone Boss . Why should i slow my coin intake to and farm DC mobs solo and allow some LS to farm EP mobs ? Change camps ? where should i go @ 17:00 on Qufim ? Tigers ? Raptors ? Diremites ? great suggestion . Oh wait theres 4 other groups there waiting for the monsters to repop . Hmmm maybe not so great a suggestion . any other bright ideas ? please post them , they have been completely brilliant so far , i dont think i would have though of these til you posted them .

Because they have better proc rate and better drop rate haha. Qufim you go to bombs and krachens/tigers because all the noobs avoid them.
