Soldiery/Myth Drop Rates

If they were any higher there would be no reason to farm the darklight, or any other level 50 dungeon. SE is clearly thinking about the future.

Yea I was a little confused about it but after a night of playing and contemplating I think it's best they lowered the myth tomes. I mean most of us can farm coil for i90, if it remained 50 per we'd be capped in an couple hours and have tons of i90 from coil.. So I just think from a balance POV lowering myth was necessary, and it also slows the game down a bit (or stretches content out, rather).

I don't see the point of making myth so hard to come by, especially since you can farm coil all you want. All it's doing is making myth gear harder to obtain over allagan gear so people will just bypass it in favour of newer gear or allagan instead.

Who would farm Darklight when you can run CT over and over, needing all the i80 gear you can while also receiving 100 Myth per pop? With CT being farmable and having a low entry ilvl, DL is completely useless now.

Ran Prae yesterday as part of main story roulette. You only get 20 mythology at the end. People say everything takes only monday to cap. SE implements slower tome grind. People complain OMG I actually have to play more than 1 day now.

Well there are no accessories in CT.. And very little CT gear has enough accuracy on it for coil which means, starting out, you may need a DL piece or 2 combined with CT gear to run coil.. I'm in this situation on my SMN, I got a few pieces of DL and CT, but need accessories now. I can run coil on mains for alt gear, but in general someone just starting out is not going to be able to completely skip DL..

BC is now 20 instead of 50. That's not a nerf? I guess we're all back to doing speed runs of Haukke or WP. Unless one of the new HMs are short.

6drop per week per team(for people who did1-4)=> unlimited farm! + soldiery!
how is it a nerf since coil drop are same ilvl than myth purchase

Note the bold word of 'have', and find it ironic that it is not 'want'. There lies the major issue most find with the game.

so yes, they made it so you have to do 10 dungeons versus 9. However they are making you chose from only 3 dungeons and discounted the rest of the content.

On top of that, you need 30 dungeons alone for the animus weapon upgrades, after you went to fates in every zone.

another issue is in understanding the difference between 'content' and 'work'.
IMO, This patch is the example of failure since it adds 'work' but not entertainment.

Getting the animus weapon is like a t-shirt saying: I put in 80 hours into this game and all I got was this crappy thing which will be useless in 2 months...

Wait, in two months, when it gets powered up, it becomes useless?

O_o {Hmmm.}

Math: turns 1,2,4 gave 6 coffers for 150 myth for 3 fights, now it is 16 coffers for 160 myth for 8 fights.

A fight that gave 50 myth giving 20 now, is a 2.5 reduction for a fight that never even gave philos.

Sorry to pop the bubble, but this is a blatant signpost saying: if you want myth then either do CT (so it stays relevant), the 3 new dungeons or suffer.

we are being herded into content that SE wants us to do versus the fights we preferred.

The direction that SE is heading with ARR is clear. Maximum grind. Can't wait until the next tome when we get 1 at a time. Those that wanted more pointless grind should be pleased as punch, though. :P
