Patch 1.22c Notes

[Starlord]

In a game where there is little low level content, or content that doesn't require enormous investments of time to see a result, where exactly does Square Enix intend to move this game to?

As someone who travels a lot for work and is eager to pursue even small achievements in the game such as these GC weapons, charging 25,000 seals for both a rank and then per weapon is exactly the opposite of opening the game up to normal players.

When we reflect on the state of the game we currently have Garuda which, for the most part is inaccessible to the general player base, relics which (accurately) demand a large amount of attention and time investment and now the Grand Company weapons and equipment which push the players through monotonous game play. What good does this do for people who cannot play every day?

It gives the Caravan Escort Longevity.. eventually when there's nothing to by... Chocobo Escort will be a waste land in the long run. and 765~1k seals per run even if you did it 1hr a day you get 4k seals per hr that's 7hrs roughly or 1 week. It gives us something to do for a change and not lying around in ul'dah twiddling our thumbs all day long, and shouting to everyone, THIS GAME IS BORING!! >.>.

There are many ways to obtains seals (Lesser NM/Ifrit/Caravans/GC leves/DH/Totorak/Supplies/Gathering), what monotonous are you talking about? even if you only play 2hr per day you can easily accumulate 2-4k/hour.

Is this what players these days has become? unwilling to work for your stuff? Jesus they finally give a progression content and now people bitch too?

The new GC weapon is strong, they are strong enough to match primals and you wanted them to hands you in a silver platter with a big cheeky smile?

i sure hope after the next patch 1.23 they make more than all these instance things the game so far is setup for a LS only or nothing, a hand full of people use the search and im not trying to spend hours /sh for something thats gonna last 20mins.

2.0 cant come soon enough.

Yet the chocobo escort system allows only one group of 8 players to participate at one time. I assume that now with it being the method which rewards the most seals currently it will be swamped and monopolised by players camping the NPCs. I do not discredit SE for giving escorts value, but with a limitation it is transparent.

I think I didn't make it clear for you, I run chocobo escort only once every two weeks, each time ~ 4-6 runs, and I am sitting on 42k seals. I can't see how that's requiring playing every day. Do you want it instantly given to you?

Also there are 3 camps to do chocobo escort, one is almost guaranteed to be free when the Hamlet it leads to is in battle phase.

Yoshi-P doesn't want to add " New New" content till 2.0 is released.. so this is something your going to have to deal with... This is just giving us something to "do" while they get done 2.0... After 2.0, I'm certain they will have lots of new content from your playing pleasures.

No need for you to be so hostile.

But, do you understand the term monotony? It means repeating the same thing over and over, tedious, repetitive content. Every single one of those things you just mentioned is the embodiment of monotonous game play.

I'm a busy person with an active career; I don't mind the game valuing those people with plenty of time to seek greater rewards but, currently, it has no rewards in place for those players who have little time. Is that a little clearer for you?

Also, your location means "Indonesian language"; ditch the 語 if you want it be just Indonesia.

How do you suppose SE gives out loot then? Oh you did Caravan once, here's the best reward? Oh you did Ifrit once, here are 7 weapons? Of course there is going to be monotony. You can't possibly create enough content to keep people busy if there is no reason to do anything more than once.

[Chardrizard]

So how do you expect them to gives you this GC weapons then? do one quest and tada, here you go one of the strongest weapon before relic? since i just mentioned at least 8 method to obtain seals and alternating them is still a monotony.

I am sorry if i came out as rude, but get used to it if you whine about something :P and thanks for the advice regarding location.

What the hell? You have solo leves that take 15 minutes at most and Caravans which take ~12 min a run, one you can solo one you can do with 4-5 other people and there are many people that would be happy to join you. You can jump in and do leves whenever you have a spare 15 min or you can do some caravans when you have more time. It's jump-in and jump-out catering especially towards people that cannot invest large periods of time.
