Hamlet Defense, more RNG? Discouraging.

As for me, I am just going to enjoy the idea of everyone on a server helping to complete an event together as a community. If I get some gear out of that, sweet. If I don't, I will eventually. No rush.

Have you tallied up 600 speed runs yet? There's low drop rate, and then there's crazy-shit-bonkers

Nah. I'm going to take my time with it. I'm not trying to "beat" this game. I'm just here to play. I play this game like I eat cake, nice and slow so that I can enjoy every last ounce of each moist spongy chocolate bite. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just think of it this way, when you do get it, it'll feel like it took you 600+ speed runs to get it. It will feel pretty special. Then you'll go on to the next incredibly low drop rate and feel discontent again. But for the ephemeral moment of pure satisfaction, remember the cake. =]

The cake is a lie... but here's a cookiee! Just as yummy!

The sad thing is some people are interested in eating as many cookiees as possible and hoping to get a prize at the end. Others just want to enjoy the cookiee, bite by bite. But also, some people have nothing left to do in the world but get that prize so force feed themselves cookiees.

What we need is for more different types of cookiees for people to enjoy. All sorts of new cookiees and different cookiees that keep people busy munching slowly and enjoying, rather than having to rush to the end for some prize.


Yes... I changed this into a cookiee metaphor.

I was super super super super eager to go do Hamlet... I love my Chopper and Saw and wanted to contribute to the defense of the hamlet. I even donated some items to the cause! (Not much at all, just a tiny bit.. got 8 anima.. already had 100, so end result was nothing). But then I faced the super sadness:

No show up for hamlet battle, no reward.
Now, with sad rewards, it's going to be super super hard for me to find people who want to do hamlet battle.. they will all say: Already have Dark Matter!

Need incentive for donating -- It is not 'fun' to simply 'trade' with hamlet. That is not content.
Need incentive for battling -- Even some basic items, or long-term reward scheme
Need incentive for not-battling -- Yes, for those of us who do not want to engage in battle (for whatever reason) we should still 'benefit' from having donated items.


I would not be opposed to points gathered from hamlet mapping somehow to Grand Company seals.

It's hard to disagree with this. More cookies, and more fun things to do! =D
