Diadem Feedback

[Jynx]

The main issue with Diadem boils down to two big problems and everything spins out from there.

1. This content was never designed with duty/party finder in mind. It was soley designed for Free Company groups with common insterests to go in, gatherers would be protected by their charges to assure quick and bountifull harvests and when the time came to gather for a fight it would be a no brainer.

2. The shared claim system: Only encourages people to zero in a single area and just spam-fest for 90 minutes there is nothing to encourage people to split up no reward for doing so. There needs to be a party/alliance based claim system and give rewards to ALL players in a zone if spreading out happens, more Star Ranks Spawn faster to allow battle alliances plenty to battle while giving more of a challenge with a single group per monster and more loot oportunities for all.

There are other minor issues such as making Gathering more team play rather than just greed, part of that could be making them important part of spawning some Star rank mobs, and other things such as perhaps buffs for the team with certain rare harvests. There is alot of work that could have been done but wasn't.

You can have up to 9 parties.

In easy or medium, I never had more than ~25-30 people on Dino island at the same time. Most of which don't have 3 dots.

Had a group not even make it to the mob farming stage, because one of the aether current was in the middle of a rock face, so PS4 people were unable to get. Imagine who the PS4 person straggled this way was? Our only tank. We bailed.

And again, I've only done Normal.

Because you've not experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. The person who started the conversation also had it happen to him.

Did the PS4 players try switching to virtual mouse mode and clicking on the current that way?

Anyone else could've switched to tank that had one at 60 and appropriately geared.

Someone explained to do that 4-5 times, but they were unable to do so. They should not place currents 15 feet in the air, lower than the floor above, but way too high for the floor below, that's just bad.

No one proposed to go tank, so I'll assume that if anyone had a lv 60 tank, it was just part of a "get all to 60" plan, and not a job they even play.

It's very easy to mistake "my debuff was dropped from the first 30 list and then ran out" for "there was 60 debuffs, so it got replaced in ~10 seconds by another debuff". So let me be skeptical, even if the latter is possible.

As a SMN I can quickly unlock flying solo with Titan-egi distracting mobs, but seen some people ragequiting after 5 minutes because they were trapped near spawn point without being able to reach all currents. (Even after I told them to not respawn so I could fly close and rez them). Currents are unnecessary.
Also contribution for loot should be less. Two leeching gatherers in DF party? GG, you'll not see any V or star chests.
