Same GC Ifrit killers gets better reward

[Konachibi]

I know...I'm just saying people are so uptight about maybe having to work a little harder for one piece of being in a different GC.

Because there's an equal share of people wanting 'easy mode' as there is people wanting 'hard mode'. I think they should all shut up complaining about 'this bit' and 'that bit' and just let SE do their thing. If they don't like what SE give them, they can either - 1: deal with it, or 2: go play one of the other few hundred MMO's on the market.

Whilst that's a nice idea everyone can play every class so picking one weapon locks you out of ever getting another of them if ever you decide to play another class. Not such a good idea.

A better solution (If people need it too be so easy) Is treat it like the ToAU rings and whatnot, make the fight repeatable and require that you defeat ifirit with the class you want your weapon to be. Give it a week timer or so, so people don't switch weapons every 12 seconds.

If they were going for a "You fight it you get loot" scenario, instead of locking you out at the first win.

I have an idea: On Oct 5th, form a Party of Level 50's from different Companies, blow through the r25 Ifrit Battle and take note of the rewards...then...

Form a party of r50's from the same Company, blow through the r25 Ifrit Battle and take notes of the rewards...

...I bet the only difference will be the amount of Company Seals you get.

Well complaints can be good to a certain extent. If none of us complained about XIV at/prior to launch, we wouldnt be where we are now.

[dev1080] Please SE you give more details about it, I do not want to change the history of my character for a simple drop.
I love the immortal flames, i love uldah, but I should change to accommodate the linkshell in the maelstrom command (not like at all, is not compatible with my character).

Please give more details before I make the biggest mistake.

Ul'dah is already the spot to be and will be the number one GC. Don't be stupid about it and join the damn nation!! Why does everyone make it seem so much worse then it is >< It will be like Campaign Battle in FFXI, All other nations but Sandy suck.

Just posted in another thread:

From the Japanese patch notes:

なお、「イフリート討伐戦」では同じグランドカンパニーメンバーのみで構成されたパーティで挑むと報酬にボーナスが追加されます。

That's the sentence about better rewards everyone's talking about.「イフリート討伐戦」 is the part that's over the r30 Ifrit fight. No where in that sentence does 真イフリート討滅戦 appear, which is the part over the r50 fight. So, I think it's safe to say that the reward difference is only for the low-level version.

Hilarious. Much ado about nothing.

Later, if Ishgard is open and the Garleans move forward the new hot spot would be on the front in Gridania.

Sigh....people don't really read past the first page of topics and posts do they....

Enjoy.

According to the Translation of an interview from the newest issue of Connect on, having all three companys in a party will get you the same benefits as having a party with only one company allegiance.

Translation by our very own Reinheart^~^

Grand Company
- There isn't much difference on which country you enlist in, just varies in how the event is viewed (cut scene)
- To avoid one country getting too much enlistment, making it so depending on number of enlistee the company bonus changing.
- It doesn't mean you can't switch (grand company) later on, later we are looking to adding "Free Company" where you can join optionally
- When everyone from same company you get bonus as well as when you have 3 different countries grand company members
- Adding a content where you can obtain company seals over time, however if you don't get a higher rank the amount (CS) you obtain will not increase.
- Rank: Once obtaining award, must take a test to rank up, currently it's hard to go higher than warrant officer?
- after 1.20 be able to trade company seals for chocobo gear, planning to release in future chocobo gear which crafters can make.
- If you work hard in grand company it will effect in Lodestone

Yes, however that was posted up before 1.19's patch notes. The part people are discussing here is strictly about the Ifrit battle. Nowhere in 1.19's patch notes did it say you'll get a bonus for the Ifrit fight for using members of all 3 grand companies. If the further above japanese translation is correct, it's probably nothing but until we get some actual dev confirmation it's hard to tell.
