They put Dragonsong finally as final boss music. I hope will be changing fragments like Answers on T13. Each pahse with a different section of the song.

That's what I need, I'm happy. But I wanted a new Warring Triad fight instead of a Extreme version of the final boss. But is ok anyway.

Dragonet minion confirmed made my night when I saw it. I want one. ...Not as much as a Living Liquid one, though.


Overall satisfied with 3.3 prospects.

I always wanted a dragon trial on the lengths of an extreme fight since Heavensward was released, being a dragon themed expansion and all >_> Look at it in a good way! 3.3 Nidhogg EX, 3.4 The Demon, 3.5 The Goddess, already figured it out ;o
If I'm correct in my thought process then this time around we won't be played around with in the last patch like 2.5 did, no EX trial which was super disappointing imo, its looking good this time around though!

one thing i gotta correct on this is that is not how the 50/50 thing would work. each chance is not directly tied to the other one.

They are. When you did the wrong decision, its over. You don't get the chance to try the other doors.

This is correct.

Lets say Diadem or Frontline as example (or maps)...
I just ask because what you say here is not as my friends experience it, players just SKIP it and ABANDON the whole content!

Diadem was abandoned by non-gatherers, because it ended up in a lootgrind for BiS i210 gear, something that hasn't been updated, and is thus deemed useless in the way of gearing up. (due to the ease of getting 220/230 gear) It's not entirely abandoned, as some of the Diadem materials are still useful for glamour/spiritbonding (Sky Pirate's gear) or raid food.
Frontline only ever gets abandoned when there's a new PvP mode added (like The Feast causing Seal Rock to have longer queues), but Fields of Glory will probably see to the frontline queue being shorter. Not that the PvP playerbase is all that large, but it's certainly not abandoned.

Be realistic, you WILL not get a portal more often than just once a week if you dont buy all maps from market board...

There's a 50% chance for the portal to spawn, a player can get 9 maps a week. Getting just 1 portal a week would be quite unlucky.

The Problem AS ALWAYS is that players are FORCED to do one single content EXCLUSIVE 24/7 hrs a day!

Maps really don't take ages to do, and neither will the Aquapolis be something that'll require players to focus on it 24/7.

I also think you're taking the "theme park" description a bit too literally.

New Beast Tribe with Moogles and crafting... welcome to hell!

I think I will sell my dragonskin-maps on patch day : )

one thing i gotta correct on this is that is not how the 50/50 thing would work. each chance is not directly tied to the other one, so no matter what, you have a 50/50 chance on each door. ff14 %s are kinda silly about not having anything to do with the last roll of something. its the whole reason that we can have a gather fail 3 times in a row when at 95%. each hit is 5% that you will get nothing, just like each door being 50%.

Your math is flawed. We have 50% to continue at each gate, but since we got kicked out if we failed, the chance we reach a floor is directly tied to the chance we reach the previous floor. Also, what Arinnaid calculated, is the chance we "can" reach a specific floor, from the beginning in one section. It will only stay 50% chance for every floor if we have 7 doors to choose at beginning and WON'T get kicked if we open the wrong door.

In regards to your gathering example, it is not the same. Think of gathering at 95% but if you failed a hit it close the gathering windows right away, even if you haven't finished all your attempts. That would be the equivalent to this situation.

(Sry, just realized someone posted about this already pls move on and ignore me xD )

There are two different things going on here.

First, the probability of picking the right door on each floor individually, which in the case of two doors will always be 50%. Previous choices have no influence on this. No matter what happened to get you there, each floor will give you a fresh 50/50 chance of picking the right door.

Second, the probability of picking the right door seven times in a row, which is a separate calculation and is indeed much smaller than 50%.

The chance of reaching the last room starts with about 1,56%. The rate increases by every new room you sucessfully reach.
