The preatorium, streamlined

[TeraRamis]

I like Prae, let's me catch up on videos, learn a new language and I have had many fun conversations during these cutscenes with other people while we were all waiting.

I don't like that I so often run it with only 6-7 people, as the other 3 AFK even during fights. It's gotten to be a really tired chore.

Except, of course, that a lot of us feel like we're forced into it every day for the stupid tomestones.

The game throws tomes at you. Why do you need to do it for them? Just do other content.

[Awha]

Sir, let your cat play with your router might notice something.

The devs have already said that they are replacing castrum and praeotium in the not too distant future.

I was like "oh really?" so I just thought to share the source:

Oh wow, that's surprising! I was convinced they'd done everything they were ever going to do with those instances, but that's good news for any future newbies whenever they get around to that. But I still feel like facepalming because they've waited ALL THESE YEARS. Imagine if those improvements had already been implemented before this current surge of new players came in!

Imagine 1.0 didn't suck. Imagine they'd had 5 years for ARR. Imagine Stormblood was just Ala Mhigo, followed by another expansion that was solely Othard.

Not much point imagining what isn't real. Right now the 'surge of new players' gets the same experience as all of us. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Did YoshiP specify a time for when he'd fix MSQ dungeons?

Source?
This has been brought up a few times in the past year or so, but unfortunately when asked for sourcing, it has never proven to be the case.
The devs have repeatedly said they'd like to change them, however no definitive timeline or action plan has ever been stated

Yes, but they never actually say what it is they're planning to do, nor give any sort of timeline.

YoshiP: "I do apologise but we will not be reworking these two dungeons just yet. We believe minor fixes to these dungeons are not feasible, and it will be necessary to either completely remake them as four-player dungeons or incorporate the Trust system so that they can be cleared on a solo basis.

Although we didn't have the costs reserved for the rework on this occassion, we do plan to work on them at some point. Please wait a little longer for this."

You get the massive amount of exp because of the cutscenes.

Remove those, no more good exp, same for poetics.


You can also just... Not run it

Well, you are doing mentor roulette. Better than an EX fight at least.
