Keep the regen. Keep the aura. Fix Bumba so that real strategies have a chance, or at least release an in-depth explanation of how a real strategy can work atm. The issue isn't that WC roll is too harsh, it's that it's a necessity in the first place. Very few auras are a straight-up instant loss on any of the fights.
The issue with anything besides Bumba isn't that it's 'too hard' or 'too random' in 2026. It's that all 6 members need job variety, teamwork, and competence. Like it or not, having a need incentivizes folks to actually play the game as intended. If you have to try Ongo or Arebati a few times because you're not perfect and auras made them difficult, who cares.. anyone with a group that's adequately prepared will eventually get the win.
(bring on the tomatoes from folks who didn't even care enough to clear V20 and get R25 augs)

I will make this observation. I’ve noticed a lot of people only, or mostly, play content with their sortie group now. Used to be we had LS-wide events as the end game content (18 players). So the reduction in pool size does limit those who have access to stuff. Also it’s become a bit more exclusive to ‘who you know’ rather than ‘anyone from my ls, whom does W3 Dyna anyway’.

Carbuncle.Nynja said: » This is what happens when the 90% of content for the last decade is "6 people only". having some meaningful alliance content - by which I mean more than Vagary and Omen - would go a long way to getting the less engaged players to at least engage a little. Dyna-D was a step in the right direction!

I was gonna go look at when VW weakeners were added based on wiki page creations, this cant be right????

Well, when we have a group of people making a conscious effort to block out specific times to do Sortie, it just makes sense to maximize that time and do other stuff before/after. On off days or breaks, I'd say going pickup Segments/omen/delve/vagary/whatever isn't uncommon if people want to take point and start the groups. One thing that we are running into with Oddyssey with our group now is that we all know and have our jobs for Sortie geared pretty well. But with the diversity of jobs needed for Odyssey strats, we are having to build out new jobs - I am starting to get back to BLM for the first time since 75 cap. Thats a pretty fun thing but would be infinitely more fun if we didnt have such limited inventory space |
