Dev Tracker - News, Discussions

Ugh 6 more months of Ambuscade...that's really too much.

From the bottom of my heart I feel that Master Trials are a waste of Dev time. They keep such a small % of the community entertained only.

What they SHOULD do instead is make every one of those BCs they make as one Master Trial version for Epeen and one MeritBC version with a standart pool of 6ish rewards for the common folks.

I'd like to see them come out with some clever content designed specifically for soloing that would have useful rewards. Preferably with difficulty settings and a very low time investment, like a Maat Merit BC or something like the GEO/RUN empyrean armor fights. This would help people who want to improve their gear but without relying on groups or spending what little gil they might have.

Soloer's are obviously penalized with some of today's end game content - at least with events such as Ambuscade. I'm actually surprised people still solo that knowing they're not getting Gallantry (and to a lesser/major extent - holding up regular parties).

Delve and Vagary still require 3 people to enter - also to hinder soloer's (excluding people who juggle multiple toons). But that being said, I agree that it would be nice if they had a true end-game venue that catered specifically to soloer's, while being challenging enough to discourage avoiding regular party configurations.

Previous Final Fantasy games had a performance-tiered reward system for each encounter and your drop(s) quality was affected by how you did. SE could implement a way for casual solo players to at the least have a decent shot and comparable gear that regular parties group up together to work towards. The key though would be to separate soloer's and parties so that groups steamrolling through it aren't made to wait unnecessarily by a lone player.

There are definitely some options there to explore.

Ambuscade is very solo friendly...just boring to grind..

It is definitely solo friendly, just not to the 10 other parties being made to wait until you get done. The idea behind my previous post would be to enhance the quality of the rewards that was specifically designed for players who enjoy some quiet time and want to solo, but separates them from other groups who are moving at a much faster pace.

Ignoring the fact that I'm on a server that is the definition of dead. It only takes 4 minutes and that's because I go cor and rolls take 1. Ambuscade is a pretty quick revolving door unless a group tries a level too high for them and waste time zombieing.

I think they left that going since they're potentially very long events that use only three zones between them. I could see congestion maybe being a problem, moreso for Delve, if people could go solo. Maat BCs and the GEO/RUN empy fights get around this by having battles be in completely different locations, and being very brief. If they want to help out solo content, it ought to be in places that aren't in high demand.

It's fine. There's Pokemon go And other iPhone games.

Seems like the next ambuscade will be a pet burn.

Well, and this month is the definition of easy. I can't imagine how a group could wipe if the tank can hold hate.

Devs haven't been posting anything outside the jp forums for awhile :p.

Wish they'd bring out Kupofried again, my mule is missing that one and he never seems to come back round again.

Gonna be waiting for the next Adventurer Appreciation for that one.

I loged in after three years o two green and red things in mailbox. Claimed that mog last week, but cant get reg moggle.

Finally, my alt can get Amchuchu and Qultada.

My disappointment is about to reach new peaks.

holy *** how am I supposed to do all of them at once

i've got 3.1k stones on both characters, time to make every empyrean i could ever want lol. also need grand coffers for ironside and a few more unity Nm drops. *** gonna be a busy 20 days.

so wtf are we supposed to do after the 13 stones worth of voidwatch lol

Used all of my stones during the last campaign. Guess it's another month of HTBs for me.

I just burnt all my void stones (1000 per char) in the last campaign and yet here is another one.... SE really need to shorten the stone regenerate time....

Wish I could sell my voidstones. I must have a gazilion, like over 2000

Still no CP?

Hype <333333333 me some vw campaign.

You can get Voidstones by trading Voiddusts to a Vw officer.

The CP bonus campaign was in August?

It's gonna be in november with the Return home to vana'diel campaign. Its following a pattern, They did it in May, and then August, that's 3 months apart from each other.

The problem with dust is it only goes to key items, not to stock, so you have to go and refill every 6 fights.

Need more Vagary and HTBF campaigns!
Keeping my hopes high for October, it's been a while =/
