DD Nerfed

[Conradus]

Would someone please define the acronym used here? I think of "DD" as damage dealers. Of what subject are we speaking here?

DD means destroyer, of course. That's why everybody is rerolling as a cruiser.

I'm lazy.

Maybe you should stop complaining that you have to level 2 weeks instead of 1 week.

Man how did you even play games before 2008?

@Shiyo - If it can be done at FATEs in every other zone in the entire game world, then explain to me please why it's *not* being done there already, in any way that compares to DD? It's not like 46-50 is the only grind in existence; any of the classes become a grind after about 25-30 if you don't have quests available to help speed it along.

For myself, I'm extremely glad they nerfed it. For those upset over the nerf, remember this next time the people abusing it, as a community, start to create a miserable experience for those who don't wish to abuse it. That's likely what sparked the hotfix.

The abuse and harrassment was enough to justify this fix. It's remarkably easy to get 50 in this game, and in a week people won't care anymore.

Now where can I SB my gear.

CM? Where every mob now drops 60 gil? Instead of stealing mobs from people trying to level?

And the cycle starts again...

Spiritbonding, aka slowing the run down for everyone else so you can farm materia

This basically proves you can't make everybody happy.

[Ryios]

Lol... If they had not nerfed this and they do indeed drop gil now... That would be the best GIL Fountain EVER, literally a fountain lol.

[Alhanelem]

so what happened here? there were infinite waves of enemies during the NM portions? Is that what they changed?

If so... it's still a solid fate chain, I don't see any reason to complain unless they also nerfed the win EXP.

This is primarily why I don't like using acronyms in conversation. "DD" universally means "Damage Dealer", but could mean "Dzemael Darkhold" also. Four or five posts into the topic is when I finally discover they're talking about a FATE.

It was broken, everyone knew it. Everyone abused until it's all patched up. On to other things.

[Malamasala]

There are many fates that can be abused the same way, like any item turn in fate. That why this it's so confusing why they nerfed a single one, when there's numerous others, two being in the EXACT SAME ZONE AS DD, that can be abused in the same way.

Yea, It was nice that there was one fate in the whole game where people used their brains to get good exp. Now we are back to wasting good exp because we don't want to bother with strategies for exp.
