So what's the verdict on the Diadem?

[Krindor]

What's the point of getting materia tho? Until 3.2 at least when u can meld into raid/eso gear

Well that is the point, considering you need 48 per grade 5 you need, 2x6 or 2x12 depending on if accessories are also meldable. That is 516 or 1032 tokens, that is going to take a while and keep the raiders playing the game.

Diadem is mostly fantastic. I found a couple problems though. There is no way to remove someone from the party, they could be harassing or trolling and theres nothing we could do about it. Also, NM's and rank 5's require too much damage to gain full credit, if there are trash mobs nearby it's not smart to attack them because you may not put enough damage on the NM and miss out on a gold chest. This causes people to ignore mobs around NM's and 5's and it becomes a massive clusterfuck.

Finally got Pegasus. I'm free from Diadem!

I have to echo that getting credit on NMs seems way too hard. We had a party present for an entire NM fight and got no credit at all, not to mention the other party we queued with. If there are going to be NMs that need the whole zone to fight them, we need an incentive to actually help do that. If we're not going to get credit, we're not going to work together.

LMAO - Double NM -

Do they only spawn in the last few minutes of the instance or something? Because my groups NM spawned around the same time (Great Buffalo NM) and due to getting swarmed by other adds on the island were unable to beat it in time.

Definitely agree that something needs to be done about the rewards. Even spawning and soloing Level V as a group it was hard to get over a Silver rating.

no clue we just kept killing stuff, we couldn't get them to drop down from that damn island x.x

A friend also told me about them spawning directly at your spawn camp, they couldn't escape. Just wipe try to run wipe try to run wipe XD

They really need to sort these spawn positions out

I wish hunts had been this. This is fun and crazy and awesome. Hunts just suck

It's not a rating system, just seems each tier has a different chance of dropping bronze/silver/gold boxes. V/NM being the highest, but I've seen a III drop a gold box before.

It sucks. It's basically hunts in a new zone. But with gathering, woop-dee-doo. I thought it would be a bit like Dynamis, but after you complete the objectives, you just fly around looking for marks like you would S/A rank hunts, and then everyone burns them down.

I haven't tried it out because last night my static and I did the usual savage. The only content I was looking forward to was the exploratory missions and if indeed it is like hunts, that is a geat disappointment. I hope at least it needs some coordination rather than just zergs and it's content better done with FCs rather than PUG, for the same reason.
