Idea for drop rates + instanced content.

[Nuinn]

No thanks. I've done that in almost every previous MMO I've played and I don't want to again organize my real life around a specific time on the specific day in the week, run from work to home just so I could raid. If other people want that sort of commitment that's fine. I however do not.

I would not mind a few instanced dungeons of 'proper endgame' to have this timer, but leaving that idea till 2.0 and am definitely against longer timers on all instanced content.

This happens in any MMO when you are playing with other people regularly, IE an LS, you make a schedule and everyone is supposed to turn up on time.

I think this game is lacking some kind of structure for instanced content mostly in the form of lock outs, once a day sounds about right to me.

If they only allowed Primals to be done once a day and a guaranteed token dropped, that would require 10 days to get a weapon. (would only lock a player out on a successful kill)

They could make it you can enter as many times as you want as long as you don't win.

Yup this !

P.s. I can't believe I actually agree with Rokien for once .. shoot me now !

For bigger instances it's ok, as I've said (perhaps in 2.0). Right now with the current ones, or future such instances we're allowed more flexibility. Besides, I can drop out from a party after a few runs in favour of some other LS mate who wishes to do it.

Well you would drop out after one run, assuming you are successful.

Or you could do Ifrit > Moogle > Garuda all in one evening.

Chances are you turn up online at a similar time most evenings, at least most people do, so you just base your schedule when everyone is on.

Obviously in 2,0 we get content finder so being able to come on at any time and just getting a random group will much easier also.

I pretty much agree with this here. I like the idea of a lock out coupled with increased drop rates, but I wouldn't want the lockout to be TOO long.

In regards to the argument that LS might not be able to run together if some are locked out, well even without a lockout I think this kind of happens anyway. If you miss the scheduled event, then you will just have to wait for next time. Luckily for you, we will have a Content Finder in 2.0 (in whatever form it ends up taking, let's not start that up here!).
