Idea for drop rates + instanced content.

[Rokien]

This kind of idea was fine for endgame dynamis runs in FFXI, because there was so much other content to be doing.

As it stands right now in XIV, not so much. Locking players into X number of instances per week is a little harsh, when those instances are just about all they have to do at the moment. Maybe later when the game is more developed.

As I said, we have to think about the future, that is what I'm doing.

Well there's your pick up group.
You can set a scheadul post it online, if you can't make it to one of the events, oh well, you don't make it. Also if you have a big ls, finding people wont be a problem you can set multiple times for people.

No, fuck that.

"Hey guys my class was cancelled today I can play tonight!"

"Sorry we did the dungeon yesterday we can't enter for 3 days"

"Oh I guess I have nothing to do then."

Most of us like playing with our friends even if they aren't able to be on all the time, and no one should ever have to bend over backwards to schedule for a game.

We are missing an important part of these dungeons....

It's not all about getting the goodies.

Some of us may actually want to repeat it more often for some legitimate reasons:
1) Fun... we may like doing it!
2) Practice... we may want to get better at doing it, perhaps try it with different jobs.
3) Training.. we may want to take LS mates or other people who have not done it and help them.

I.e: LS Tank has done this many times, and wants to train up a few other LS tanks who have not.. he could do 3-4 runs that nite and teach lots of LS members how to tank and otherwise do the dungeon.

This suggestion would exclude that possibility.

There is more to this world than the shiny stuff hiding in the chest.... especially since it hides so well ^.^;

As I also said, there should be more to a game than instanced content, and with Content Finder being implemented they can find a group easy.

But if we are available and willing to help our friends when they are on why shouldn't we be able to?

Ya I under stand that, that's what these threads are for are to discuss.
Maybe a 5 hour time limit on re entering?

What do you think would be fair?

[Brannigan]

What do you think would be fair?

Short lockouts like we have now that don't completely fuck you out of helping friends/doing PUGs?

Would make it hard to do 2-3 training sessions as part of an LS Event.

Content finder?
