Shame on you, you failed us with Hamlet Defense

[Firon]

So...they shouldn't add content because *you* don't like how it's done?

Never said they should not add the content should be put in when it could be implemented better, but i know thw White knights will defend everything the dev team does. This is the only content i have not liked and i felt like it could have been done better. This 8 man instance shit is gonna hold ppl over for too long.

It is meh.

Not bad but not really something I'm too interested in. The inclusion of DoH and DoL is just getting old.

The guy who makes the pretty rings the Heroes buy does NOT face down the very essence of Chaos in the story. The time and gil it takes to cap one of them is so extensive and long that there is no good reason ANYONE would make it their main over a DoW or DoM. Trying to tie them into everything is just silly and honestly kind of boring. I gather and craft to make gil, not events.

Hell doing Miner in Hamlet was the most thankless thing I've ever muddled myself through. Go to the same 4 points over and over and over and over. No mini game, no thinking involved. Just click this click NPC. At least when I do it in the wild I get a chocbutt load of gil out of the process.

There's no 'white knighting' here. It's called accepting the situation for what it is and realizing there's only so much that can be done, no matter how much a vocal group screams like children about it. It gets old listening to the broken records around here. The whiners can either A) *puts shades on* Deal with it, or B) Wait for 2.0. Those are the options. Complaining isn't gonna make any difference because they've already told us a few hundred times (every time a thread whining about them has been made, really) that this is how it is til 2.0. Common sense would say there's no need to make the same whines every time new instances are released, because we already know why they're doing it. All whining about it does is start flame wars and troll battles.

They should have done it right or not have done it at all. Meaning they should have just waited and worked on something else in place of Hamlet.

Like i said id rather till 2.0 when it could be done better.

Funny thread, let's play!
Well I won't come back over everything that's been said. I do concur having to have a full group is meh and the anima reward is silly, but i'm thinking about something i'm surprised to not have read here yet. I might be wrong, but seeing how this is HAMLET defense (related to city-states, caravans and all), i think a seal reward is on the works. Think about it. They would't have put it in right now cos' we're only fighting on Gridanian territory. Seal rewards for foreign companies would not make any sense, and rewards for the Adders only would not be fair.
Again, i may be wrong but i think it will start to pay when next patch hits and they implement other hamlets.

you do know the word us to some people means me ( going to get us-me some food) just saying

I was excited for hamlet until I actually beat it on my 3rd or 4th try. When it tallied up all those points and I was like "oh, what are these?" and the answer was points. Like imaginary points to feel good about as if I'm going to write down my high score and try and top it next time as a personal goal.

Then I got enough anima to replace me teleing out there +1 and some magicked prisms. So I basically felt like I would have been better off not going at all. I'm sure there are better rewards but I don't think there is anything mind blowing. So I went back to Ul'dah and haven't done it since, because why would I?

I thought the actual fight was fun. But the real issue here is we now have one more 8 man instance except we can only even do it at limited times, and as far as I can tell it has poorer rewards than dungeons or primals. It would have been nice if it were some sort of alternative. Something that If I couldnt get an 8 man group together to go do a dungeon or primal, I could be like, well maybe a few of us can check out Hamlet before I go to bed. Instead of something that is just as difficult to form a group for but less rewarding.

There is no reason that Hamlet should not be offering large amounts of Company seals. The things are already a pain in the ass to grind for. Any alternative way to obtain them is great. But If you make it worth like 100 seals again then people are still just going to do Toto-Rak over and over again to prove that they are a great asset to their company(lol).

Maybe I'm wrong and there are really cool drops in Hamlet but Im not aware of any Id like to obtain. I think one of the problems with this game is that it is so common to go out and win end-game content for a little while and walk away with absolutely nothing. And you feel like You've just wasted a couple hours and would have been better off idling in Uldah watching TV cause at least you would have made progress in a show you like, lol.

+1 to guaranteed totems on Garuda, I'm very happy about that. Although Im not sure why this hasn't been implemented on other primals.

People are aware anima doesnt regenerate anymore, right? We will be forced to participate just to feed our anima interest

Oh God.... that is just two shades below the Fatigue system in terms of absolutely fantastic ways to make your MMO pissed itself and choked to death on its own froth.

Good thing it isn't true lol
