Same GC Ifrit killers gets better reward

Omega, if some of us didn't experience some kind of whiplash before, I don't think we would be posting this. Not all the players will be as open-minded as you on this.

I picked Ul'dah at launch, because it seemed to make the most sense for my character. An open trade city that wasn't too prejudiced of outsiders with "Oh you greenwrath scum with your woodsin, take your dark magicks and your tree-chopping axe and split your arse in twain, but don't forget to wear this half mask." or going "Ar' matey, me sweet lass, load me cannon, climb me mast, t'aving ventures beyond, then avast."

It's this desert that people didn't really like. Limsa was the "where it's at" place with their blacksmiths, armorers, sheep with the wind shards, and the whole, "I've been around since Beta, Limsa 4 Life". And somehow... Ul'dah became the new "in"-city. I *want* the other cities to call to people, but they aren't calling to people like Ul'dah calls to people, and it appears it's not restricted to just my server.

And we're mostly concerned that because Ul'dah is the most populated city and most populated wards that it will become the most populated company. And if this announcement is not clarified, it may become the most populated company out of fear and loot chances, which in turn, impacts cross-company parties more than it ever should have.

Ul dah became the most populated city because it's in the middle, the story brings you there eventually, and for a very long time the leves were extremely exploitable and stupid fast XP. Personal preference had nothing to do with it, although I personally like it the best.

according to the connect!on interview summary Reinheart Translated you get the same benefit if you have all 3 companys in a party as you get when all of the party are from the same.

When everyone from same company you get bonus as well as when you have 3 different countries grand company members

Oh so it's all equal then? Something has been lost in translation.

I'm sure we're overreacting, but its the not knowing that drives me crazy. Why be vague. I understand the vagueness is sometimes to keep the story secret and the spoilers minimized but for something like this?? Just TELL us.

Question: I've noticed a lot of you saying that you really, really don't want to join the Immortal Flames, but you worry you'll have to in order to get groups. Even if this is the case (and I really hope it's just gil/seals/DM/whatever), it seems like enough people are sick and tired of Uldah that you could convince your LS or your friends to all join a different one instead. I know if my LS leadership asked us all to join the same GC, I'd immediately say that the Immortal Flames can go die in a fire. >_>

Not saying this will work for everyone (it won't), but surely not everyone's in a hopeless situation. . .

can a dev please confirm this? The patch notes only talks about 1 of the scenarios

[Rentahamster]

Please Devs get us some clarification on this before patch day

You have said before that we shouldn't worry which GC we choose, however:

I cannot choose my GC "freely" knowing that I may be missing out on better loot or possibly exclusive loot from Ifrit by doing so.

Could you please explain what exactly is the "greater reward" from defeating Ifrit by members all of the same GC?

Thanks

Yes, some clarification would be nice. This is very important. The Bayohne signal shines brightly in the Eorzean sky.

Ul'dah is the best for one simple reason: it has the best, easiest and fastest to navigate layout of all the cities. It's by FAR the easiest city to get in and out of; you have to run for 30 seconds or more to hit the field in either other city! In Ul'Dah, it's as little as 5 seconds.

The distance between all the things I like to do in Ul'dah is far less than in the other cities... from a looks point of view, LL is the best by far. But Ul'Dah rules and always will!!

I am also a bit worried about this, cause I was going to go for Gridanias GC for the CNJ and PUG weapons and such + since I am from Norway, I absolutly love the forest more then a desert^^ Limsa Lominsa is also something I prefer with its coastal ocean looks. So having to pick Uldah and sacrifice my personal favorites, to not be shunned when people are making groups for Ifrit.

Hope the "bonuses" isnt that much worth from keeping people to choose their favorite GC^^
