Baldesion Arsenal Feedback

[KaivaC]

Tonberry (Elemental[JP] DC) here. The Japanese also use discord (or other means outside the game) to organise runs, but PUGs over here are also very very prevalant, to the point where you'll have 3 to 4 people camping per portal during primetime. And no, most people aren't happy with the entry requirements. To quote somebody on the JP forums 'I want to fight the bosses inside the dungeon, not the players outside.'. And as I've said in a previous post, portal stealing/sniping are RAMPANT over here. Everybody is miserable, and this whole shenanigan has brought out the toxicity in both EN and JP players alike in my datacentre.

Ahh okay, thank you. So it's possible that this might be addressed in the future if JP is also complaining about its implementation. That, or the devs will ignore us like they had with Pagos. I really do hope that they take heed and find some kind of way to fix this. The Arsenal itself is quite fun. Would suck to lose out on it because of the devs' nearsightedness.

Please rework BA so it is accessed from outside Eureka, but requires Eureka to be finished to enter. The Drama isn't good for the community.

Only good thing is with in 4 weeks this content will be getting old and easier for people with less time to tackle it.

3 to 4 people camping

omg, they really did focus on bringing the worst things over from XI with Eureka.

You know, if this could have been tackled with no limits on entry it actually would have been great for the community. We've met so many people with this but its all over shadowed by the drama.

Meanwhile, while everyone is enjoying the BA. I HAVEN'T GOT MY FIRST WEAPON YET!!. Because everyone is doing BA and no one spawn NM, especially the lvl60 dragon NM!!!

Nice job SE, this content (the dragon NM) is not last even through a minor-minor patch (Hydratos come out 4.55, not a single word from 4.56 yet but the dragon is already gone!). My work is busy and I don't have time to catch up. This whole eureka thing is suck. No time to play? Can't catch up with most of player? Well, screw you, you ain't gotta get any thing. Have 6-7 friends who're willing to help you? Not enough man, try getting 100 ppl first then we can talk.

It was entirely designed for premades.
If they wanted actually wanted it to be puggabe they would let you switch job in the lobby to assign roles and organize.

They probably will later, all things considered. Especially once the hype dies down to do it and people aren't able to gather enough in PF. So then people just randomly join when they feel like it. Just a lack of forethought. More people will also have to use the "exploring dungeon" finder within the instance.

Yes, the drama... so very like 2004 to 2006 era FFXI all over again.

Only element we are missing now is the Linkshell to linkshell mudslinging episodes.

Does anybody have any insight into how the JP side is handling the implementation? I don't really care much for the argument of "oh JP is more capable of pugging, so yada yada yada..." - that's not what I'm wondering. I am curious is JP has similiar complaints about the entry requirements with the level of communication needed.

From Gaia [JP] DC, Alexander server here. Both discord groups and pugs are clearing it. Most runs are a mix of both, usually I see clears based on 1 or 2 premade groups of 8 and the rest are PUGs. Pure PUG groups have cleared the arsenal. In general, not many complaints here. Majority of players have watched guides on the mechanics. Players new to it will state that they are new and will be taught. I've have not seen instances of multiple people camping a portal. I would say the response in Gaia DC to the arsenal is moderately positive.

I can't speak much for the other data centres but I can say this - Elemental DC does have a significantly different culture compared to other JP data centres; perhaps due to the demographics, I can't really be sure.

Translation: Elemental has Tonberry - the unofficial Australian server.
