Primal drop system, still no changes?!

[Reinheart]

Seeing how XIV 1.0 got released, hardly doubt it.

Reason for this is probably S*** S**** and Ta***a and Ko***to were being asses and didn't care what the dev had to say, or they were being told by person above that W**a to just release the damn game and ended up in 1.0 hell. Look at all the pre 1.0 intereviews... those main 3 praised FFXIV to be sooo damn awesome and even showed fake (unfinished) video's to make it look like it's all in there.

I'm just hoping Yoshida is a lot more open to listening to the teams, reading Yoshida's interviews he sounded like he knows the problem and really going to fix the game in 2.0 although some of the stuff released in patches with new team still makes me go WTF!? time to time.

Yeah but I mean you were talking of SE as a company (comparing to others in the industry), hence my comment. I am not saying that Yoshida doesn't listen to his team etc,it can only be better than before for sure. (Not hard anyway.) Will it be as awesome as it has been promised to us, I hope, yet I am not 100% confident in that

When Reiny is pissed it's serious. It's like one of those laughing Buddhas throwing coffee in your face or something.

I havent read the whole thread so sorry if this has already been posted.

If the devs are unwilling to change the loot system so that you can pass weapons to any player of choice can they please see if it possible to put in a loot checker when the system hands out weapons? (just weapons)

Something like :-

Ifrits Battleaxe drops to Player A
Inventory check, does Player A already have Ifrits Battleaxe within there inventory? Y/N?
Yes - re-roll %chance to current players within the party minus player A (repeat this command until the query = N)
No - Hand weapon to player *

That will keep the no passing rule alive which will keep totems valid but also means it gets rid of the very frustrating duplicate drops.

Too logical for SE.

Yes, too logical for SE indeed...oh wait they created a perfect reward system for these kind of fights before. They can change it easily if they want, but they already stated it's being revised for 2.0.

I don't know about anyone else, but my personal experience from this thread and the response from the devs has made me not want to do any primal battles at all. If I have to fight a primal and win at least 100 times to get a slight chance at the weapon I want, or possibly even more battles to get the required totems....what's the use? If a new primal comes out by the time I've gotten only one weapon from Ifrit I have to do it all over again with the same horrible drop rate and the inability for me to pass weapons I don't want to party members.

I'm seriously done with primal fights until there's a better solution.

[Guevara]

what's worst is that they really don't listen to us... there's hundreds replies saying we need better drop rates and they just reduce the (insane) amount of nuts needed for mog weapons.. lol

I am 7/7 on Ifrit, and I only got 1 weapon from totems... so I got 6 weapons BEFORE getting enough totems to buy 1 ahahahahaha.

If they did nothing it would have been better.

Can anyone confirm if Garuda's headdresses are 100% drop and 2 per person?

Yes, they are. You still get random weapon drops also. The max number of kills to go 7/7 is then 140, but will most likely be done in 100 or 80 (assuming everyone keeps their tokens for themselves).
