Guild Tasks?

[Xeno]

eaaaasy synth ;P

they're releasing this stuff while the serious updates, like battle and classes are being done. Better this than nothing

I actually agree with him. I wish they would update the game every 3 months that way I wouldn't have to check this damn site so often, but then when they do release something I actually get excited.
Edit: and to clarify I was never on the, "give us updates every two weeks!" bandwagon.

Exactly, this patch entertained me for about 15 minutes, then I was bored of it and logged off again. I'd rather have a GOOD patch every 3-6 months like FFXI than all these insignificant patches every other week. I mean guild tasks are a good idea, don't get me wrong...but only adding level 1 and 10 sets? Why not make it so the higher people can benefit and get worthwhile sp as well? Just seems like they dropped the ball with this. Also didn't they say this was around 30% of the content of patch 1.17? Cause patch 1.17 if it was 70% their numbers are way off. They didn't even fix the easter quest or give any additional info.

I'm all for the implementation of supplemental content, but this was beyond lazy.

Garbage patch lol, this system is very boring.

Ah well, cant argue with it anymore, auto response is "they busy with battle systems!" What every single member on the team? lol

You know what, I will complain a LOT about this game (it deserves it) but I won't really complain too much about guild tasks. Its something that I was not expecting and its at least something new to try out. I don't really like crafting as I found it boring but with this it gives me a chance to use some of my random items I have lying in my inventory. This was the first time I tried crafting something that was NOT a from a local leve.

This feels like it was more like someone (like a specific random dev) had a idea and figured they could implement this fairly quickly with the existing code, or they had it in the bank of unused code and just needed to finish it. Yes it feels half baked like everything else but its a start, also if your lower level like I am with crafting it gives me you extra goal to try and complete.

Also this NPC line made the whole thing 1000% better for me.

Bodenolf: Th' Admiral's got us workin' the forges day and night, readyin' the armada fer somethin' big. Left our stockhouses bare as a whore's back end, it has, but the guilds ain't got the manpower t' plenish 'em. 'Tis why the forgemaster started postin' tasks on the wall o' th' Wench. Might ye be interested?

I wonder how the daily selection of tasks is going to change, obviously it can't all be the same stuff everyday. Also it really shows how much you have to look outside XIV to get basic info, I wouldn't know like 95% of the recipes for this stuff if I didn't have outside guides for it.
