is "the Diadem" dead?

hi all,

Just wondering why. i wait more than 20m without being able to join diadem, in peak times. is anyone else experience this? avg wait time is 30m..

With all the nice rewards, i mean materia and crafting items, why don't people go farm this anymore? i realise the grind is boring. but it's it the same as most other activities like dungens with new textures or normal gathering?

Because they go in premades so randoms that do half the work they do don't jack all the drops.

Premades. Lot of people do it with their FC or in Party Finder groups not random DF.

Pretty much as said, to many people go in and ninja the items while gathering items so pre-mades are just safer.

Diadem was dead as soon as they decided that DF groups couldn't roll need on stuff.

Went in to Diadem on Saturday with a premade and we were the only non-gathering party in there. It was pretty sad, we didn't even get tracks once.

Was in Diadem on Saturday and there were 2 parties in there. But towards the end of the day there were several groups in pf

The amount of Daidem parties should increase as the weeks go on. As more as more players get Lore and Midas gear, more players should start farming spoils for Tier V materia.

Since when can you do diadem in df?

Fairly certain since day of release you can df Diadem, no?
I know i have dfed it before, or at least was in queue for like an hr until i said the heck with it
I really only want Pegasus......

You can go to the Ishguard airship landing and talk to the guy there to enter Diadem like it was in DF. You have to be present to start it but you can go alone or as a partial group.

You can do the Diadem in the DF, but you need a FC airship to access the hard mode.

It's not though. Dungeons at least have things broken up with bosses that require you to pay attention to mechanics to get through them, and a progression through an area. Diadem is just straight up bashing in one location. I love the idea, I love the zone, but the way people farm it made it like Abyssea 2.0.

When people get what they want from it they don't run things anymore, goes for everything.

Don't worry, they'll stuff it into a future relic chain somehow to keep it "relevant".

okay, i guess there isnt many in PF for it. the only other way now to get things like drayad sap is favors ( can't aford to pick them up from mb ). favors are slower, and less fun than diaderm. but sadly nobody from my fc want to do this, nor do i find any PF up for diaderm in odin server for many weeks now....

Diadem died out after that patch that lowered the chance to get ilvl210 gears drastically!

Now I hope we can get those coins-items(Like Pegasus mount) with Tribe-coins instead someday>_>;

i would like to able to solo in daidem for my own reasons for gather and crafting :/
