Play Monday, take rest of week of.

[Xystic]

If you look at people online at Monday compared to Thursday the numbers are greatly different. Even more so on legacy servers. Is OP exaggerating? Yes but he is correct that for a lot of people there is literally nothing to do. So go do some good somewhere else white knights, maybe you should go fight against child laborers in Malaysia.

First off, assuming people have nothing to do is your own opinion. Even if you state that the forums has quite a few posts of players having nothing to do, we know for a fact that the forums is not used by the entire subscriber base and nor does it completely represent the entire subscriber base.

Secondly, insulting people who do not support opinions as facts based on your own opinion that has no evidence or little proof to support it is down right silly.

sometimes I play everyday. sometimes I play once a week.

believe it or not, sometimes I don't get to play at all.

I'm a bit miffed though. I was never asked these questions... how am I included in your statistical analysis?

No one implied a player-base census.....

I reality this came out of asknig 10 people which days of the week do they play. and 9 people answer monday, with the last one being reluctant to reply and caving into saying monday under the sheer tearing preassure of the question, so it was counted as half a point.

And thus! The 95% of the player-base plays monday only, based on a statistical analysis of 10 players.

Off*

95% of players schedule for this game. Lol, if you know what I mean.

95%? Ummmmkay.

I am surprised, how does 2.1 affect the playstyle of an endgame coil group? Raiding on monday the specific turns, since you dont need Mytho Points or whatsoever its completely dry and if you start early enough, you can also take the extremes into one raid-day.
Oh yeah CT is also there, its good to run once for any achievements but for people, who arent equipping every single class, its a one time go and that was it probably :x

CT provides more Philo and Mytho. There will be new PHILO/MYTHO items in 2.1 as well as a reduction in Philo Cost for 2-Star Crafted Items.

Also, the Mythology Cap is raising from 300 to ~450+ in 2.1. Don't forget Pharos Sirius / HM Copperbell Mines & HM Haukke Manor for Collectors (probably have new minions, and the gear is probably usable in the Vanity System coming in 2.2).

In 2.2, CT will like have the 3rd Tomestone added to it, same with Turns 1-5, and the new Turn 6+. So no, I don't think CT will be 'Run it once' for Twintania Beaters, as it gives an alternate way to enjoy yourself and cap out your Mythology+.

What new phil/myth items are being added in 2.1?

[coffeepotz]

If you only play for coil progression, sure you would only log in for that. I however, play for my FC friends as well. I help them level alts, or clear primals, or farm for gil, or craft, help them gear, and contribute in general to the FC and server community.

So: you tend to play more when you play not just for your own personal progression. That is how I look at it.

I was going to say something about what Kakaarato said, but you nailed it.


I'm really tired of this whole situation where people make sweeping statements about the game (ie. 95% of players only login on monday!) based on no facts other than loose observations, and then when people inevitably pop up and point out the ridiculousness of the statement we get called white nights. I'm sorry I don't agree with your assumptions, but that in no way shape or form makes those of us who use actual logical fact base analysis into White Knights. If I'm a white knight I'm a white knight for logic and common sense and I will fight assumptions and poor analysis at every turn. This has nothing to do with my stance on the game, and if people want to keep it that way then they need to learn to make better formed arguments. People also need to learn to disassociate opinions from fact. Such as the op.

That said I log in almost every day of the week and have been since launch. Know what I do? Make alt classes, go help FC members, try my hand at crafting, or level a chocobo. The fact is there are things to do, but you choose not to do them. Deal with that fact before you start bitching more about the lack of content. All you want is content that you personally want and you could care less about those people having fun doing everything else. The fact is there are thousands of players each day enjoying all that other content, and you are in a minority. An extremely vocal minority, but a minority none the less.

They haven't confirmed what they are yet, but they have said there will be more things to spend your Myth and Philo on. You'll probably need Philo or Myth Materials to craft some of the new Crafting recipes (hopefully not Myth...) and I thought I heard mention of I60-I70 Crafting gear... *shrug*

There will also likely be Furniture that is directly purchased with Philosophy Tomes (like there are minions that are Direct Purchases).

I don't think the number is quite that high.

There is a valid point that during the rest of the week it can get pretty quiet though. Sadly a high number of FC members don't login if it's not for coil. I'm bored of farming AK/WP for materials myself so I can't blame them.

Oh well, got Baldurs Gate 2 Enhanced Edition, that'll be fun.
