Alexander Savage: The raid that killed the ability to help your friends clear

[Ibi]

Let alone the ability to farm this raid to get loot seems.... incredibly... difficult...

That's the idea.

Setting aside the fact that 95%+ of the player base won't have Gordius Savage on farm for months (and the majority of the player base likely won't ever have it on farm), SE don't want people able to farm the pinnacle of PvE content from the moment it comes out.

Also means if your static is down one for a run you can get a replacement and then redo the turn to get the player which missed that day their drop. As opposed to either missing that nights raiding or the player unable to attend (emergencies happen) misses out for chance of a drop that week.

Win-win.



So you are admitting to account sharing on the forums which is against the EULA.

Smart...

Good thing I didn't share my account then! My friend can take all the risks he wants.

The ToS specifically prohibits me from sharing my account with others. And that's the way it's always been - no one but me has access to my app, and no one but me has access to my password. Nice try though.

I just hope for PF(I know I know but still) groups that there will be a message if somebody in the group has already cleared.

When you enter, there is a message saying one or more characters has completed the duty and how many treasure chests you will receive.

thats a easy way to kill selling loot (but no clears )

Not really. Groups on the cutting edge who are able to get the content on farm can still sell loot during the first clear of the week, as they were doing in SCoB and FCoB before the lock outs were lifted.

It's actually even easier to sell clears now, because everyone is guaranteed a token from the first clear, where in the past you wouldn't have received anything from a clear with 7 people who'd already beaten the fight that week.

BCoB would like to have a word with u op lol.

Man....FFXI BCNM battle system and loot drops are still far superior than this games so called endgame... I know. I guess I'll go play that game.

Please explain to me how using an item you can only get once in a blue moon, to get into a fight, that drops a loot box full of crafting materials and other random crap(the good stuff was less the 2% drop rate most of the time) is better than our current loot system? Not to mention if you happen to wipe on that fight you lose your orb, and have to get a new one before you could even attempt the fight again.

I was there for FFXI, and hey, it wasn't as great as people seem to paint it out to be. It was a clunky mess of a game most of the time, and the only thing it did better than this game was the social aspect, since you were forced to party with people in your server to do anything.

FFXIV loot isn't perfect obviously, but it's still better than XI's.

Oh look, this thread again. *yawn*

This is okay, it's going to be so very hard than only a niche will clear it. Having a token and the possibility to help friends is awesome. Let it be. Let it be.

really? *yawn*
