Triple Triad Tournament... no longer worth the time

[Danieros]

There should be some kind of duty finder queue system for tournament/non-tournament matches, with associated daily bonuses and challenge logs. People would be able to use their time while waiting for instances on TTD matches. Right now the system requires you to shout at some area to see if someone wants to play, that requires people to be in that area specifically looking to play TTD, and that is a waste of time with so many things to do in the game to limit yourself like this.

Same goes for Chocobo Racing, the need to go to the Saucer and head into the waiting room probably doesn't help its popularity either.

Still doesn't feel worth the hour or so spent playing 50 games. Guess we'll see next tuesday.

By "raise the points" they meant "up it by 10", after dropping it by around 70.

Tourneys are still completely pointless, as the win traders still have absolutely 0 competition.

Absolutely absurd in how they are rewarding the cheaters, still. "Listening to the complaints" my butt.

Nice to see a person with 50 losses and 0 wins in the top 4 with 3.2k points, and the number 1 at 6.7k points on Mateus. I played one game to see how things had changed, saw the offensively low payout, and was done. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

Yeah, if they increased it I don't see a difference. There are still people with 0 or 1 wins in the top 20 on Excalibur. Well, time to start wintrading.

"Wait, are we supposed to TEST things before they go live?"
"No, don't worry, just make the patch notes sound like we fixed it. That's the only part that matters."

It's amazing how much they are taking the best card game in the FF series, and completely making it unplayable and hated with this stuff...

To be fair, he never says that they were planning on making NPC points competitive with player vs player points, only that they were going to bump NPC points back to what they used to be (while retaining the boost to player vs player points).

I believe the intent of the original change was to encourage people to challenge other players, rather than just farm NPCs for points. This is something most of us want. I would much rather play a real player and still get decent tournament points than challenge Elmer 40 times.

The real problem is that without a matchmaking system it's just not feasible to challenge real players (and certainly not for ~40 matches). They could increase the tournament point rewards for player vs player matches 20 fold and you would still be hard pressed to get 40 matches in one week (unless of course you're paying your opponent).

[Chek]

But they didn't put the NPC points back to what they were before. They're still so much lower that I doubt we'll get any plat packs again.

[Tule]

I would get 90 points an npc, now getting 60. That's not back to normal.
