Damund Dynamis based event

[Lum]

You must not play FFXIV.

Please tell me what event forces you to be inside the same place for 3-5hours? There isn't a single event in FFXIV that's even close to Dynamis.

What game do you play?

Unless you get extremely lucky I'm pretty sure you're spamming Hamlet and CC/AV for hours on end, especially speed running it and still not getting lucky.

Pretty much the same concept of being forced into an event for hours, unless you take the route of "whelp no drop after 1 run we're done for the day."

So again, you must not play XIV if you don't think the same thing happens in this game >.>

Except that's totally different things. It is a lot better to have a freedom to give up after 1 run if you for example don't have more time to play. Or the other way around, there is no problem to just try one run if you have a busy day and then stop w/o consequences.

only difference is your selfishness makes it so people cant' group up in large groups and have fun for 4hours but you can still do your 1 hour solo thing ...there are still gonna be tons of stuff that is like what you want. not having 1 thing like dynamisis every expansion is just wrong. add soemthing huge like this every year with expansion and many small stuff trickled into the mmo every few months.

oh and the idea that you think that you can join a group, stay for 1 run and walk out. the leader and half the players are thinking your a dick and taking note of you for the next many years to come. they dont' waist hours of there time just so you can jump in and out of the party like that. but we will be getting auto grouping so that at least fixes some of the issues. but the main one is still there, reteaching people the event over and over is annoying and is the main cause of failing. but all this is still a different topic all together.

either way there is nothing wrong with large scale events, everything doesn't need to be tiny and quick. doesn't need to be unpersonal and not doing it every week with same players. it's like talking to yourself on blogs and twitter and forums and facebook witch is probably what most are doing talking to themselves. gw2 does this very well people all around each other but playing by themselves like tards. it's sadening. blatantly saying no cause of this is unfair ..and quite frankly your the reason not one mmo can meet the standards these days as a good mmo. too many with this logic that it needs to be quick, i needs to get everything from it, and i expect everything to be made for myself. /end

This is seriously the issue with people. I don't get why it's so hard for the people who apparently "don't have that much time to play" to understand what compromise means. You do realize the game doesn't turn on when you log in and shut off when you log out 37 minutes later?

So basically everything time-wise has to get scaled down to the man with least amount of time or it's bad? No, that doesn't constitute as bad.

Of course if you just jump off ship with random groups then you are wasting other peoples' times. But from the beginning I was speaking from the experience on the Dynamis as it was in the early days. And you did not do it in total PUGs back then. You had Linkshells devoted to that, so you had a group of 30-something people scheduling runs. That meant basically all those people were prepared to sacrifice 3 to 5 hours from their day/playtime to do Dynamis. That's why I'm also making a comparison that you can schedule with a group of friends/static-group to do stuff only for an hour or two during e.g. a weekday - because you're all busy with work. And that wouldn't be a problem then.

Again, you're not FORCED to stay in the SAME piece of content for 3-5 hours without the option of taking a break and coming back later. You missed the whole point. Regardless if people want to bang their head against the wall for 10 hours spamming AV/CC/hamlet the event itself only last an hour. Having to sit in the same spot for 3hrs+ while being on a timer has to be the worst thought out event i have ever been apart of.

Nothing in FFXIV comes even close to Dynamis.
