CASTRUM NERF?

[Ceol]

It's a story dungeon. It's supposed to be easy. I could see them making the full 100 tokens only available if you run with someone who hasn't done it before, but I think they have bigger shit to worry about right now — like the myriad of incorrect ability descriptions, WAR being an awful tank with shit abilities, the severe lack of places to farm mythology tokens, people not being able to load mobs in high-density FATEs, Duty Finder queue times, a way to deal with DF griefers...

If it's this one:

I think you guys will be fine. I highly doubt they'd nerf content only on the NA/EU servers ^^ Don't stress

the one happening in 5 minutes

Fixed that for you.

Nerf exactly what in the dungeon? The search light's that make the pools of patrols go away? The artillery cannon's that are there for a reason? You do know that the "Speed Run" is mainly killing everything with the cannons instead of normally attacking them. Yea, you can walk behind a few mobs, but that's it.

I don't see why they would nerf it, that's just being paranoid. Running Castrum over and over again isn't a questionable activity like skipping all of the trash in a dungeon.

[Dusted]

Not understanding why the trash doesn't drop shit in ANY of these damn dungeons. Hell at least the 50 dungeon trash should have a percent. Hell the trash in Dynamis had a chance to drop AF2, albeit an extremely low chance but still a chance.

There is a lot of trash mobs in the zone that can be sneaked by, others you can kill quickly with cannons. A geared group can get it done in like 30 min and get 100 philosophy. There's nothing bad about running the zone fast.

For a military base, their security is rather underwhelming. You can literally fight 5% of all of the dungeon mobs because all of them only have vision in a straight line, for 25 yalms. You can literally walk behind almost everything and the things that auto-aggro, you can just ignore because Cid can't die and will eventually kill them.

Running CM (although boring as hell) should have been new level 50's first stop anyway, instead of trying to jam themselves into AK speed runs with AF gear and a pre-50 weapon. Of course the fact that you only get Myth stones from AK (or small amounts from primals) is definitely an issue, because you can't miss one week of Mytho stones to spend that time actually getting DL gear for the content. :\

I always found it odds that you needed AK to unlock the level 50 GC weapons though, and it was far easier to get Ifrit's then to clear AK :P

Edit: There doesn't really even seem to be that much trash in CM. What speeds things up is using the cannons to kill 2-3 packs at once, which saves you maybe 5-10 minutes in the grand scheme of things.

They nerfed Amdapor why not add Castrum to the list. ^^
I think SE is trying to make up for them ignoring peoples requests in beta. So, now when one person cries it ruins it for countless of other players.
