Diadem broke the game

[Anzaman]

Did the Diadem once with FC-group of 5 members, didn't like it and most likely won't be going back there.

I'll just keep going with my trials, dungeons and raids.

But then won't it just cause even bigger problems where it's a race where first party that hits the monster screws everyone else over?

More star rank spawns around the entire instance rather than just due to density of monster kills. There could be multiple spawn conditions for many of them between gathering, battle, exploration.

But why make a interesting system when you can just slap it together and let people drain the fun out of everything?

*edit*
To give the dev team the benifit of the doubt let's say there actually are alot of different systems that actually determine how/when star ranks spawn and we just haven't figure them out. The lack of a claim system encourages players to stay in one spot and not explore. A Claim system would generally cause players to stay spread out to have no competition on their fights making a unique and dyanmic battle environment.

I'm sorry but anything is better than the entire instance stacking in one spot.

ranged or melee?
1 hour queue time sound like a DF bug to me. My queue time as MNK is around 5-15 minutes

Maybe they want everybody to be Monk now, since the new Expert dungeons seem to only drop Monk gear as well >.<

Gather a full group and go normal loot. Problem solved.

Endless Ques in Roulletes, party finder full with Diadem groups, you get Esoteric marks and you can actually get 210 Gear out of it even when the stats are random.

Basicly all you can do all day is Diadem, cause its the best option.
The only thing you cant get from there is a weapon... but relic weapons are on the way so who cares..
Farming Materia never was so easy.
Diadem offers way to much for almost no effort at all and makes Roulletes and for some people even raiding obsolete.
Its great that people have something to do now.. but everything in one mode?
Thats just my opinion..

Wait until relic progression comes from the Diadem too :P


calling it now!

I just hate how the promo video showed everyone having a good time and relaxing and dancing and gathering peacefully. Yeah nah, not like that at all. Step one foot out of line and you have aggroed half of Eorzea.

But that's what everyone wanted; a more dangerous place.

I'm disappointed they didn't put a claim system in the area. Without it it's just a big zerg fest. Everybody is encouraged to clump in one small area of a massive zone.

The amount of griefing that would go on with a claim system like you suggest is more trouble than its worth.

Do explain how.

Do explain how.

Basically people trying to tag steal just as a group is pulling. Ive seen it happen in other games. Sometimes its in the hope the group will kill the mob for them and other times is just to screw with people.
