So now we're encouraging people to turn the Join Party in Progress off because if you just happened to get this on one of the very few available dungeons that Irregular Tomestones are available for, you won't get any Irregular Tomestone.
slow clap

They do this because if two people queue for something, they can guarantee a vote kick will go through and let a third friend of theirs snipe the instance. If each of them take turns, that's one less dungeon they have to run for every three.

People should be rewarded for enabling Join Party in Progress. Need more people turning it on, not off.
Log vote kicks and tell the person who was kicked what was selected as the reason and give them an option to report it as false. Start punishing people for abusing the kick system. -
06-02-2019, 08:06 AMPaladinleeds"Difference in playstyle" is a valid reason for kick. If they don't say anything in the game about it, it's assumed they're kicked for that reason. GMs won't do anything about it.Quote:

Honestly ever since I found out we can get these tomes doing stone vigil with your squadren I've actually started trying to collect them.

It says right on the website for the event that joining in progress won't reward you the event tomestones.
Also, with revised TOS don't think "difference in playstyle" is a valid reason for vote kick anymore.

◆Obstruction of play
"Obstruction of play" means all behaviour in general that obstructs another person's game play. Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of obstruction of play:
・Spamming
This means using chat (including Quick Chat and Emote) to obstruct another person's conversation, or obstruct the use of mog letters, etc., for example, by sending an excessive number of unnecessary items in mog letters, etc. Even if obstruction was not the objective of the behaviour, it may be deemed a violation if another player is actually obstructed by the behaviour.
・Obstructing transit/progress
This means obstructive behaviour such as group blocking of passages or facilities along which many players pass or obstructing another person's game play progress, for example by overlapping an important NPC deliberately for a long time.
・Improper expulsion voting
This means excluding another person by manipulation of expulsion voting.
・Intentional leaving or disconnection
This means obstructing another person's game play by intentionally leaving the game or disconnecting from the server.
・Other obstruction of play
This means all other behaviour that deliberately obstructs another person's game play by some means.

I was queued for Syrcus Tower and World of Darkness last night with my partner and literally every time it was ready someone would cancel, which happened roughly 3-4 times before we finally got it. Lots of people want the end rewards of content without doing it, so that's specifically to avoid lazy, greedy people who just want the tomes and don't want to spend 20 minutes getting them.

Why even do this stuff? Don't torture yourself with this dumb event. Just get a party together and go to diadem. You want that pegasus mount, right? Seriously you can earn it in 2-3 hours easy.
-

I only lack 4 tomes from getting Pegasus mount then I'm done with this dumb event. At least in few day the make it rain event starts up. Then back to boredom till 5.0 comes out.

Because the Namasu is earring is so cute, I have to get it, well, I already got it with 50 runs of Syrcus tower. It's totally not worth it, but well, yeah, what's done is done.
-
06-06-2019, 05:25 AMKrojackHonestly, it's faster and less painful to get that mount the old way. Just use a Free Company airship to go to Diadem. You just need to be in a party with one other person. Takes you get 15-20 coins on average for each run from the 6 chest you can find. You just need to try to do it on down time else you might see other people in there doing the same thing and the 6 chest are shared.Quote:

Love it. Just hangin' on for dear life! Totally worth it. -

I only have one mount left to get in the four from the tribal thingies. Yeah, I'm a lazy dumbass and never bothered with the beast tribes quests.
After that, on to the magic bucket and the small pegasus and I'm done. Woo, let'sa go !
Also yeah, shame that we can't get the tomes whilst joining a party... I don't get that. -

The more I read this thread the more I realize that most of the forumgoers have far more time to spend on gaming than I do. I'm looking at maybe getting the earring by mid month or slightly later. Y'all are on your 4th mount.
-
06-06-2019, 05:44 AMDarkMasamuneTo be honest, I rushed the first one day one, then the rest, I just did a few runs here and there, everyday. Most of the time I would just go on MSQ roulette and do something else while the cutscenes were going lmaoQuote:

I didn't care about the earrings so because I generally pick hairstyles that'd hide it anyway, so wasn't going to get them, but I just realised I'm changing to a viera with super tall ears. Assuming earrings work on them (I don't see why not, but who knows at this point), they would look brilliant clinging on all the way up there.Quote:

5 tower runs a day every day the event is live and I may just get all the items I don't have. 3 mounts earrings, various minions... I'll be burnt out on the game before the expansion launches :(
I may skip the birdponies, Bismarck and Ravana may be soloable at lvl80, but still exhausting for the rest
