Commendation Rewards!

I'd like to thank everyone who commended me, since I was unable to do so at the time they were given.

I was actually surprised the Sovereign Barding was just a crown and not a full suit of armor.

For those working towards it, here is the reward from the "Everybody's Darling" achievement.

At 500 you get another Magitek Armor, I'll post it here when I get it. It should be another day or two most likely, three if I get sick of myself or go crazy.

We all have to start somewhere. ^ ^ If it helps, I found that Guildhests were the most effective way of getting them.

Thats great OP, and while he did his legit, here is a quick "farm" method:
- Get 4 friends
- All sign up for first guildhest in df (as solo), you'll most likely end up with each other, win
- Commend 1 guy, ez way to "farm" recommendations.

Or pick some other ez guildhest that no one does.

People commended me and that was their choice by whatever criteria they decided to do it by, and in the end that is what the system is for. I do apologize if this doesn't fit your (general 'your' not you Kouji) vision of the feature, but I don't really feel bad about it.

FF8 Omega weapon, fight normally or just hero drink and aura limit break him = profit. so, sorry if people can outwit devs not their fault.

If people want to play the game their way which is their given right, we all pay for not just you, they can play it how they want, deal with it.

god forbid i compare a series of a game to its predecessors. Exploiting is cheating, like hey look standing on this tree make the boss not able to hit us.

and not much difference between a FF game to its mmo counterpart except hey my npc is now a pc team. hopefully they are smarter than the NPCs of 13 who cant even cast raise or throw a pheonix down at you when you die.

I am not sure why anyone is making a hub bub about this to start with. I have 106 commendations, but by no ill means did I gain them. He used the opportunities presented to him, same as myself. He decided to show screenshots of what the rewards look like (which I thought was nice to see) and even gave some tips. That deserves a commendation all on its own.

Is it an exploit to kill deamon wall before bees?
Is it an exploit to ignore ads in a boss?
Is it an exploit to speed run dungeons?
Is it an exploit to all join same guildhest?
Is it an exploit to play game how you want to play it?

Everythings an exploit.

The only valuable tip is to play healer/tank. They will always get the most commendations because of their role, even if they suck.

Throughout this ordeal I tried multiple roles and while I prefer healer simply because I have the most experience with it. I found that no matter what I played people responded better if you tried to converse with them, explain things and in the very least seem to care.

We're talking about the same thing, right?

You're comparing speedruns with abusing a recommendation system. That's like comparing a Poptart to a Cat. They have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

That took about how long I thought it would.

I don't understand all the complaining about an "exploit." For one, it in no way affects anyone else in a negative manner, it is only for vanity crap. If someone wants to farm it faster than kudos to them. For fucks sake why do people nerdrage over the dumbest shit?

Edit: Did you know, that if you're easily offended on the internets that you can click that little exclamation point on the bottom left of each post, and SE will immediately ban people from the forums for 10 days without actually looking into it! Go ahead and give it a try! It's fun!

People (no one in-particular) like feeling righteous, it's what fuels 80% of General Discussion unfortunately. I don't really consider this an exploit though, I'm not cooperatively telling other people to commend me. I just do what anyone would do to get commendations, simply more of it.

It's SE's fault any way for making guildhests an absolute joke that take 30 seconds. So you're right, it's not an exploit. It is considered to be "fun with friends" while simultaneously having better time management.

I’m eating breakfast while watching Louie and playing Pokémon on my DS.

Life couldn’t be better :D

You seem a bit grumpy though. You should try eating some Cocoa puffs.

Please try not to start personal fights in here. :<

That would have made me overwhelmingly sad. XD

Congratulations original post, that really is amazing! Well done.



For those hating, the devs are intelligent people, i'm sure they've already figured out that guildhests are quick and will no doubt allow people to commendations quickly, however just because you run them with the intent to get commended doesn't mean you'll actually get them. OP seems like a nice guy, definitely someone worth getting commending.
