Yep. Seems like a no-brainer. Extremely poor design. Total fail. Even if people are cooperating, there are just far too few bombards for the numbers of people, at least on my highly-poplulated server. 50 people and 5 bombards appearing at a time? And everybody needs three? Not to mention the griefers? Chaos.

It may have been unexpected somewhat if they had more faith in the community.

On Tonberry (JP server), after the initial chaos it got organised into a queue. It was quite heartwarming to see the community step up to assist. I'm sorry to hear that on some servers griefing was rampant.

---------------------
JP and EN players were both helping coordinate. Some of the organisers stayed over 6 hours coordinating the queue. Managed to clear the queue 3AM JP time. No griefers. Everyone did their thing in batches of 3 - 4, thanked everyone and left. Some came back to help take over the shift.

Those having trouble were assisted out by helpers to explain or help them tag and soft auto-attack them down if they didn't have low level gear on hand. Other helpers were broadcasting the details to the rest in the queue so they knew what was coming up (e.g. gear down if needed; capturable @ <50%; etc).

Oh sweet, glorious lines, how I missed you so.

The best way to fix this event with as little programming as possible is for them to simply make it so that the bombs do go below 1 hp. There's already several instances of this in-game and I'm sure that this will probably be the change that occurs.

I wish forming a queue would resolve the issue of people killing the mobs but it doesn't. The same person has been doing it all day and has been reported by countless people for breaking the game rules. The GMs are not doing their job on Odin.

You'd also have to allow them to be captured by people that didn't tap them. You'd just have people tapping all the mobs and standing there taking little damage.

took me like 4 minutes, did it as archer, auto attack 1 time then use item, don't be greedy and run to the first enemy that spawns, wait until enemy appears away from the other players who are all chasing the first enemy, it also helps if you don't transfer to a popular sever because you think you are too cool for others.

thought waiting a few hours the coming back would be a good idea, seems a white mage has decided to spam holy. nevermind then lmao

I didn't even know that was a problem since you have people literally one-shotting the bombs on my server.

So at first it was okay.
Then many people came and thought to kill bombs to complete the quest.

But, relatively quickly, most of us decided to work together to complete this.
This is the result.



We made a line, and two people take turn going in to capture the bombs.

This is the kind of thing that used to happen in XI. I think the NPC quest was the first time I saw it happen. People cooperated back then. My coworker says he would totally jump this line and I said that's because he's a WoW player. It was a cheap shot but he agreed.

Edit: ninja'd above. That was absolutely the line. If you jumped it, forget about anyone inviting you to anything for a while. Name shaming for that was acceptable.
