Not sure if this is linked yet...LoV Trailer

[TheGrimace]

I do think that a Pokemon system would have been far more popular with people. The allure to the RTS system of Verminion is that it allows one player to use many different types of minions at once, but that novelty is lost when you consider how soon the difficulty ramps up.

One of the biggest issues is you can't queue outside the Gold Saucer. No one wants to hang around there waiting when they can do something else. The devs need to give up on trying to makethe Gold Saucer another central hud. It's never going to happen.

I agree, but partially. The Gold Saucer does have lots of stuff inside to gather players. Weekly Triple Triad tournaments, weekly and daily cactpots, FATEs, the myriad of video games, and the challenge logs devoted to all of them.

And then we have Lord of Veminion and Chocobo Racing, which are instanced activities, and really have no discernible reason to need the Gold Saucer as a base hub. I think the Gold Saucer stands well on its own, and that limiting these two activities to the zone only acts as a hindrance to everyone involved.

Did the tutorial --- > Thought it was an underwhelming activity with laughable rewards --- > No thank you.

And then you actually play the game.

Apparently came out yesterday, didn't even hear about it until today.

Rewards you say?

Titles: Princess/Prince of Verminion*100 player battle wins*, Lady/Gentleman of Verminion*300 player battle wins*

Minions: Clockwork Twinitania*24 challenges*, Shalloweye*50 matches*, Penguin Prince*win 4 tournaments with a double digit score*

You get about 350 mgp for each win? (someone clarify for me) you need 300 wins and 4 tornamemt wins. Now after you beat 300 players (possibly losing in between) I'd say 350 mgp X 450 wins/losses would give youuu 157,500 MGP, in which you can buy 1 dance and a fair priced cosmetic item or several cosmetic items and a new minion or two, or you could wait till you get around 160k to buy two dances. Yep, those rewards are worth it.

Because one LoV "commercial" will solve all the issues with LoV and people will magically start playing it.
Well played, well played indeed.

EDIT:
Give us cross-server queues that will actually put us against players with +- same amount of rank points. Give us the ability to play tournament against NPCs too (less rankpoints rewarded ofc). Let us queue up outside of Gold Saucer and do something about the awful gameplay for gamepad. Then we can talk.

Exactly this, and also crank up the MGP payout (for Choco Racing, too).

Separate -- You know what'd be an obvious idea for a GS attraction from the original, that funnily enough already has a community... a Battle Square.

Honestly though, I'd rather them fix problems with game, GS or otherwise, or sort out things in need of attention that they've already made, instead of making things like this that just add on to the problem and fluff pile.

One question: was there really a strong demand for something like LoV to be added to the GS? RTS games aren't exactly known to be aimed at a casual audience. Perhaps a basic rock-paper-scissors battle system would've been better for it...

i think a "pokemon" system would have been better , since u will need to train minions , travel around the world fighting "minion masters" , maybe duel other ppl ....u can even add some type of training , where u control a pet for minigames to advance on speed , health and what not...

my main issue is that LOV is cool if u like RTS and even then ...the novelty wears off fast. and the content dies since is a 1v1...all that develop time is wasted....in 1-2 weeks.

I'm horrible at RTS games, so I didn't even make it through the full tutorial before giving up. Something more basic, like WoW's pet battles, probably would have really kept me playing it for a long time.

I hope they put GS content on the backburner for now, rather not have dev time wasted on content nobody actually bothers with.
