    2.0 Hamlet Questions

    Some questions i'd like answered before 2.0 about hamlet.

    1. Is hamlet going to be in 2.0?
    2. Will the top 20 providers drops be adjusted to be fair?
    3. Will new items be added as drops?
    4. Will seals still be required from hamlet to start the relic quest in 2.0?
    5. Will they fix it so seals drop at an acceptable rate for battle?
    6. Will they change it so seals can drop to top 10 or 20 providers direct to inventory?
    7. Will chest drops change to party drops.
    8. .... forgot it,something to do with doh


    I'm sure theres more questions people have, also alot more probliems people want to point out so go ahead not like i can stop you
    I'm sure some trolls with no lives who are going to say hey i got all my seals & not menchion how much time & gil they spent or point out they have all 50's classes & nothing else to do.

    *(up to 48+ hours of game player per seal is not an acceptable rate)
    *(#4: 8 hours & 2 milita sledgehammers is not fair, #6: 8 hours 1 Militia Mortar is not concidered fair)
    *(the number of people who have been knocked out of top 3 & handed in millions in points)
    *(currently only 1 item drops (30/60k+) 95% of the time which is good for solo but not for a party of 8)

    This forum really needs to learn what a "troll" is. Disagreeing with people isn't trolling.

    That said. I'm fine with the current seal drop rate. They are for relic weapons...what would the point in them be if they were super easy to obtain? The other items should have certain criteria in them dropping...like, if a crafter earns a certain amount of points, there's a higher % for their tool to appear at the end.

    Yes. Evidence? Hamlet achievements will not be removed based on their missable content topic.

    It is "streaky". Sometimes they are rare, sometimes they are very, very common. One night my party had more sledgehammers than we could pass around, and even a bracelet.

    Maybe, this is a reasonable question.

    No reason for them not to. Speed completion was listed as no longer being a condition for rewards, but this stage of Relics doesn't require speed.

    Presently is fair. Why fix something that is not broken? If you score over 60k, droprate increases drastically. 65k, 70k? Some say its even higher. Provisioning top 3? very, very common droprate.

    Doubtful. Its too easy to exploit.

    They are already? They go into loot list, after all. Only captain rewards go to an individual, and why shouldn't it? They invested for it.

    1) Yes
    2) You don't even need a top 20 provisioner to get seals. Once you pass 60k points, you're fine. a provisioner is just insurance, lets you screw up more.
    3) Probably
    4)Yes, why would they change this?
    5) They already drop at an acceptable rate. these are relics we're talking about, not two bit weapons you can farm up in a day.
    6) No, and I would not be okay with this being implemented. They're already making it easier for you to get seals. Why do they deserve seal priority too?
    7) What the heck does this mean?


    *(currently only 1 item drops (30/60k+) 95% of the time which is good for solo but not for a party of 8)
    False, I've seen more than one item drop on multiple occasions.

    This content, like most of the other content in the game, was designed to be replayable relatively frequently with a relatively low drop rate. If they upped dthe drop rates, they'd make it something like once a day or something.

    *(up to 48+ hours of game player per seal is not an acceptable rate)
    It doesn't take this long to get a seal.

    Yoshida we wont need to spam content anymore. I expect everyone to get a seal simultaneously per run and non-100% gear to drop more often or I will call him a liar .

    I think the most important question is, is it going to be revamped to be the open battle events that yoshi mentioned recently? The ones you can just join in whenever you can.

    about the only real thing i'd like to see them change is that bonus points for having provisioners present. i've seen too many parties that are willing to run the event over and over again disband once the provisioner has to go.

    as far as drop rates and all i don't mind any of those at all.

    Don't mind hamlet, however I do mind that even being a top 20 provisioner, there is still a statistical chance that you might never get your seal. This shouldn't be the case. I would be completely o.k if they made seals a 100% drop direct to your inventory, but instead of 9 total, you need 30 from each. Or even 40! As long as I can quantify my progress and not have a RNG dictate my chances. Of course you'd have to make hamlets a "daily" event. Is 4 months of dedicated service to much to ask for the best weapons in the game?
    I honestly don't think so /shrug
