Opinions: Ishgardian Restoration

[Taebok]

Is it really a good idea to be doing maintenance during a contest to see who can turn the most items in?
Couldn't it be put off 3 more days?
Seems like poor planning to me.

It's a hotfix patch, so this means there are bugs or imbalance issues somewhere. That matters a bit more than the Ishgard stuff. Especially considering some of the bugs or imbalance might be in that content.

Judging by the amount of points people are managing to get per day on the leaderboard and considering it usually takes more than 6 minutes to complete an expert craft for 1250 points max, not counting failed crafts and rng not guaranteeing a max quality craft, yeah, I think those people could use some time outside.

I don't disagree, but 4 hours is an entire day of crafting for some people ... and depending on their time zone, some people could be pushed out of contention because of this.

it takes less than 3 minutes with my bad math skills.

You're not crafting one in 3 minutes without some seriously lucky rng, it should take you at the very least around 50-60 steps, and considering you need to pause and look at your item's condition every step and then think about what you're going to do with said condition on top of that all buffs and durability considered, yeah no, 3 seconds per skill isn't going to happen.

Let's not even talk about the time amount when the craft manages to approach step amounts above 110-120.

Is it just me, or does the Cerberpup model look a little unfinished? He's kind of angular.

[Cyreil]

I think the Machinist barding could use the lunchbox.

Not everyone is allowed at the moment

They really need to do away with the rankings in the restoration. That's not what it was supposed to accomplish (bringing the community together) Why they would turn it into a competition is beyond me. How these things get past QA is seriously mind boggling lol
