The server collaboration thing is great.
The fact that these are not just YAWN like Domain Invasion is good too.

I like the fact these don't go down in 30 seconds.
Pumping on the DT, damage nullification phases and overinflated mob HP is great. If anything, they should emphasize these aspects even more.

They might have gone a bit too hard on the "damage done to players" part though. If anything I would tone it down a bit, but this goes for normal NMs as well (see Martel's report) and they've done absolutely nothing about those so... doubt anything is gonna happen.


Another good/bad part is the fact you can do it only once per month.
With Domain Invasion you have predictability, you know it's happening every what, 15 mins? 20?
Which is good if you want to spam the content or simply participate.
But the "epicness" of the fight suffers because it's so frequent you barely even care in the end.

Here you don't have something to farm so you don't need to have frequent fights. At the same time though not being able to participate for a whole month can be a bit... frustrating.
Can there be a better compromise between these two extremes, somewhere? I wonder about that but I have no answer in mind honestly.

And to be fair, especially now that these fights are so stressing for your EP reserve, once you've participated a couple of times you probably don't want to take part in it anymore.
So yeah, I really don't know what would the best solution be to allow interest, participation and sustainability of these fights on the long run.

It's a mixture of very annoying NMs (ignore DT, Sentinel, blocks, blah blah) that offer no incentive at all other than "better rewards next month".

They should do something for who contributes in killing.
It's not an easy thing to solve though, there are some problems to take into consideration:

1) What do you give as reward? If it's useless, it makes no difference. If it's too good, it makes people who cannot take part in it rightfully annoyed. (and not taking part is a good chance for something that happens once per month, like Ultima/Omega)

2) How do you handle people who participated in the fight, but weren't there on the kill?


I'm sure SE asked themselves these questions, couldn't find a valid solution and in the end they just opted for "*** it, make it drop absolutely nothing".

Yep. Delve, Incursion, Dyna-D (regular, not new instance) still all have 3-player minimum.

Damn Richy ;-; *hug*

So doing Caladbolg making, I was trying to get T1 to change to colorful. It kept bouncing between Feebly and Strongly. Like they were right on top of each other. Kept getting alternating messages.

Whoops, Yilbegan
Whoops, it has shadows
and doom right off the hop.

womp womp

I hate this game. lol

You port down
BOOM 5k dmg to the face from fetters or fulmination or seismic impact or anything else

Crawlers Nest

Because of all the MPK goin on down there

Central Node? Combat Node? Something like that.

What does "CN" stand for in Limbus, as in "CN Opening"? The only thing I can come up with is Crawlers' Nest but that doesn't seem right.

It really wouldn't be hard to keep server-side track of who participated and just mail drops to their inbox when the mob dies.

If I were to guess, finishing wave 1 adds shards to the chests, wave 2 crafting materials, and wave 3 the omega/ultima parts. Maybe drop rates similar to matter?

Notes make it sound like you need shard + matter for each augment level, so could potentially need 30 shards for each HQ2 piece...

There were 3 of them. They are on every single FFXI video, almost without a doubt. I did have the thought that they are probably bots from the intial funds pushed, but its every single video now of someone trying the game and doing a similar video like this. Some of them engage but most just leave that comment.
I pretty much think the same, they are mostly doing it for content and views. Most have every excuse in the book until they reach the ultimate "it costs a sub" excuse. I think if the game had modern graphics/UI a lot more people would try it, but we are past that atm I guess. That is why it feels like such a backstab to have the games own fans/previous fans try to cannibalize the remaining playerbase lol, its really weird.

I guess K123 took my advice that posting on ffxiah dot com is a very inefficient way to spend the precious time one has in their life.

I mean, between the patch notes and the actual items it seems pretty hard to misunderstand.

1. Get shards and craft materials from boxes.

2. Trade shard(s) for the armor type you want and matter to the Furnace to get an EX Jewel.

3. Trade Jewel and cursed item to Furnace to get the actual item.

There's probably a unit cost for each step, and we don't know what the augment costs will be yet(but it's probably the same as the accessories).

Thanks, this helped me a ton!

Um...you do. That's how equipsets work.

I'd be pretty surprised if you actually need a wait 1 here

It should be iirc

Opashoro Stage 5 testing.

I swear people don't read the update notes.

For a savage blade spam scenario specifically, If getting haste samba from a dancer main, is /drg better than dual wield sub in terms of dps?

Some of the crafting mats are showing up on vslefor from the gob. We have a few cursed nq on the ah as well. Haven't seen any prices yet for either but it is only a matter of time.

The chest should be a weekly update based on monthly conditions fulfilled.

whole month is nuts -


4/10 content yet again. SE isn't trying to make anything fun nowadays

i think the tricky part with this content is if they gave omega/ultima some sort of drop or currency there would be a lot of people not getting it due to HPing/etc. maybe they anticipated this or it was dumb luck, i think it would be hard to tie something to.

I do think, however, that the changes to the chest should be instant or next day. waiting a month is.. something else..

Has anyone used BST (or PUP or SMN) on this month's Ambuscade? Pet Special Moves break the shield, but I haven't gotten a chance to solo anything past E on BST (trusts get wrecked). E was simple, Lamb Chop spam (1 charge), but I feel like a fun pet setup could handle this without issue on VD.

According to the starlight celebration post, that seems to be on the list they have for ones that give keys. Thanks.
