Void Ark Preview

I admit I also thought the second one was the aiming gear, mainly because all the others lacked a swag hat. On closer inspection though...

I don't envy what seem to be striking and scouting gear though, those look really bland. Everything else looks good, I'm nearly always wearing black/dark colors anyways (because I'm ~edgy~ or ~emo~ or whatever people want to go with).

But really, the same loot system as CT? Can't we at least get more than one piece of gear per chest? :/ I liked the actual raids but I hated having to run them over and over, especially as most people either don't try to educate themselves on mechanics or ignored them entirely (I'm looking at you WoD and 1st LotA boss), fully expecting other people to carry them through.

Is anyone going to mention that Diabolos is back?!
Yoshida long ago told us we havent seen the last of Diabolos, I thought it was a forgotten promise ><

[Starkbeaumont]

so much gear to glamour, not sure why so many ppl care about bad looking stuff...


anyway, the inside of the ark looks really nice. though having diabolos return here feels wrong to me (especially since i was expecting Amdapor City hard in 3.2 or sometimes down the road). after all the ark might not be as unique as they told us...

Amdapor City (hard) will get another endboss. I can't remember a hard dungeon with the same endboss as the normal counterpart. Even the endboss of Hauke only returned as an add in Hauke (hard).

Meh just more primal encounters. These shouldn't even be called raids as sadly they are not.

cant agree more!

dont forget how awesome was the INSTANCE ITSELF , ulduar was huge! , even had a train! , ICC was climbing to the top ...to face the Lich king!....

FFXIV 2.0 "raids" were just corridors to the boss ....some trash that wasnt important (some gil ? or some rare mats?)....3.0.... Alex....we dont even have trash anymore.

Trash is fun the first two weeks. After that it becomes more of an annoying thing. T11 was very unpopular after echo and whatnot.

I rather have 10 or more difficult bosses. It does not necessarily have to go from less difficult to most difficult. Random is fun with the very last boss the most difficult one of course.

Maybe someday..

What I want to know is why dungeons give 2 pieces of loot, Alex and Coil give two pieces per chest.... but seriously? I only ran the entire CT thing once.. was it really only one item per alliance? The hell is up with that? 2 per 8 people makes more sense.

Uh no it was one item per party per chest so...
four items per party, and any special mat/minion WAS rolled between the whole alliance

LOLEDIT:
this is for the 24 man stuff not coil....

Every time I've walked into Coil with my four man group it was 2 items + material. Didn't do Coil when it was relevant.

Alex has two items per 8 people. Doesn't matter if it's in two chests or not.

Three items for an entire 24 player raid is a stupid idea.

After every boss 3 chests appear and every group have their own chest.
If you are in goup B then you can only get gear from the chest B. You will not know what is in chest A or chest C until you ask the other groups.
The only chest that is shared with the whole alliance is the 4th chest that can appear with a chance at the end of the endboss with a minion in it.

Please tell me they did not do 2 massive delays to change nothing...AGAIN.

Normaly people don't work during vacation ^^


For me, i hope there will be again something like the mechanics of Atomos in CT1 or Cerberus in WoD (where the groups have to fight separate)
