Good posts:

still doesn't excuse the Random luck thing.. for some people its easy and for some people it feels nearly impossible.. it really needs to be one flat %..

Skill> Luck {Yes, Please}

I hate Hamlet.

I still stand by that hamlet is the worst step though, I'd rather work towards completing a very challenging goal a few times than grind hamlet for a month with poor drop rate.

Hamlet is ugly content, lol.

If every event is modeled after Hamlet, I'd sooner force my Hyur to jump into the seas off LL.

Hamlet wouldn't be so bad if you didn't absolutely need both DoH and DoL to get any decent amount of points. The point rewards are really terribly balanced.

The issue is indeed the scoring system but that just simply depends on how you look at it.

Bad posts:

Crafters / Gatherers get the thrill of being in battle without drawing a weapon.

You will never get a relic if hamlet seals is the steps you are whining about.

Still not "awful".

They gave you choice, not SE's fault that you are poor and unable to buy supplies or too lazy to gather yourself.

And yyou sound like a whiner that doesnt want to work for your sstuff even when the choice is laid out for you.

You can work towards top one provision and be done in 3-5 run lol

You'll be begging SE to make all steps as easy as Hamlet.

Hamlet is enjoyable and innovated content. Allows you to participate in different aspects of an invasion. You are either in the front lines fighting or assisting in the back. Crafters / Gatherers get the thrill of being in battle without drawing a weapon. Countless ways of participating and people complain that its boring? Sure in order to get the seals you need to have a set strategy but nonetheless when the relics are cold its still the best way to replenish your anima once a week not to mention some of the militia gear is pretty damn good. Grab your friends go all DOH and see what happens! Best content IMHO.

^Oh my God I think this guy is actually serious.

ironic? posts:

Youre all missing the bigger picture, hamlet gives you time to bond with your linkshell.

better than ifrit weapon drop rates

I agree hamlet is awesome SE please make every event from now on like hamlet.

That way crafters won't feel left out.

FFXIV has moved into a new stage and it seems the NA player base is largely still stuck in a 2010 mindset where you could get away with being a loner or in a dead linkshell of 5 people. The game has changed but the NA players, in large part, aren't adapting like their JP counterparts.

You need to either join a permanent team or create one or you'll end up unsuccessful and jaded. 14 hours straight of Hamlet hell is quite the commitment and most linkshells would (if they operate efficiently and not like a band of pirates) reward that effort by feeding you your Hamlet seals.

I just wanted to emphasize that this is correct thinking, and falls very strongly in lines with the whole Final Fantasy theme. People comming together to work as a group to fight a great challenge. That is the underlying theme of every final fantasy, so why should XIV be different?

And if you stare at the mechanics enough you see most of it is incredibly annoying if you are on your own or disgorganized, but not nearly so bad if you are well organized in an good party.

The good news for NA people is that there are enough people from that part of the world playing so making a good LS is feasible. So go forth NAers!

Must be since it seems that he thinks ifrit weapons have better drop rate than seals?

technicaly they do

if 1 person gets a weapon per run, thats a 100% drop rate

but seals drop maybe 30-50% and only 1 at a time, so thats a 30-50% drop rate

Wish the points would add up:

Lets say as an example (don't freak out!) a seal is 150k, the folks that get 60k a run will get a seal every 3 runs, those that barely win @35k will need 5 runs.

You do better = you get your stuff faster.


Maybe apply this to Militia gear too...

Someone got 1 weapon per run every time for you? More importantly, a weapon they didn't have? If you think about it not only does that person in ifrit have to get a drop, but then there's the 1/7 chance they get the one they want. You only need 1 item x3, it's not like you get only tremor in hyrstmill and vortex never drops.
