Hamlet defense feedback from a top 20 provisioner: Critical problems and solutions

[Jinko]

Ya know what I think i will just sell all my gathered items on the AH, make a load of gil and buy the item instead.

I would rather pay 20 million for an item on the AH than spend 40 million in time and effort and not get the item.

I find hamlet quite fun but its pretty broken at the moment, again as usual SE have no idea how to make content that rewards its players yet provides a sensible amount of challenge at the same time.

* Having a Point System: So everyone participating can earn Points, which can then be turned in for Militia Rewards

^ This is how it should work.

The way I see it is that hamlet will fall into obscurity more and more with each patch, SE will counter this with a nerf to hand ins and make it easier, by which time nobody will care any more.

Resulting in content that was a waste of development time and money, this is and Garuda (being broken) is the very reason they need test servers, because SE's QA and testers just aren't up to the task.

It would be a lot more enticing if you still got something for your efforts even if you lost, like if you survive for X time or defeat a certain number of enemies. Even if it was just 1 anima or something- if you tried and failed a few times you'd at least get the anima you used getting there back.

Great points Jinko.

I just caught up with my friend who was #3 Top Provisioner for that 2nd Hamlet Defense round. They spammed victories the entire day and?

Dark Matter.

Not a single Militia drop.

This is so sad.

Yoshida-san Fix This Please.
