The Train is Back!

[Aster_E]

Unless they buff the light gains from NMs, you won't escape the chain by running the train.

A lot of people aren't going to care, especially when NMs at least give a constant amount of light instead of waiting for chance. Better light would be great, it would be fantastic for those of us with all fifteen relics to do, but that nerf/buff won't come until 4.5, most likely.

According to the JP notes, they did address the issue where SMN pets killing a mob broke the EXP chain. I’m hoping this also applies to other “pets” as well (e.g., MCH turrets).

The rest of that, no. There were no adjustments mentioned about timers, HP, Party Level Sync, or Drop Rates.

Well that is a shame. It helps people who are lower level but since I am done I guess I have no reason to go back in. I will just wait till belt is cheap and buy it.

Agreed. Sadly, if we were to see Party Level Sync, I doubt we’d see it until the third installment at the earliest. :/

I'd rather they just increase the XP bonus as the chain towards 30 increases so I can sit at a camp comfortably with others for an hour, instead of dancing all around the zone and watching people afk instead of contribute towards spawning/killing the NM.

I’d much rather them implement options for people that don’t want to chain mobs—not including the NM Train, but other things like Daily Quests. AFKers will always be an issue; you can’t stop that. But what they did with Pagos in attempting to force mob chaining was not the answer. Instead, it just made people not even participate in the content at all.

They say they don't like the train but then do something that effectively brings it back.

Instead of buffing mob exp, extending out the chain amounts, bringing in daily quests, battle leves. . .

All sorts of fixes and they choose the laziest one.

Probably because they're desperate. This speaks volumes to how unpopular Pagos was. They're basically saying, "Yield! We yield! Please do the content!!"

Yeah, they realized their "fix" didn't work; in fact it backfired. So now they are probably looking at the next Eureka and asking themselves what they can do that's actually different.

As a number of us seem to agree with, one possibility is the implementation of daily quests inside the instance, so people have options.
