...WHAT

For fuck's sake, I know WAR is sad because they aren't going to be the UBER DD they were before, but by no means should they be fucking PLD either. War + Defense = Retarded.

Wow... That picture just made my day.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-01-11 03:44

It's funny, but doesn't entirely make sense. It would make more sense to have ln() be on the time commitment axis.

Honestly there is something built into VW that lessens HQ reward the more you do it, I see the same few people that keep spamming VW and get nothing continually and randoms that rarely do it or do it in moderation seem to run in and get them in a few kills. Not isolated insidents either, the most hardcore seem to take forever to get almost all drops while the lucky people are always the ones that do it the least.

Yeah yeah I know tinfoil hat, but doing what I said above it Square all over and dev gold from their standpoint, make the most difficult to keep intrested players chasing the carrot longer.

Complete bullshit on the all drops being the same thing as well by the way. Have seen many many bodies(Most being duplicates or wasted) and a total of 0 coruscanti drops, and 1 HQ GK that went to a whm mule. There is only one English speaking player that I even know of on my server that has a coruscanti, correct me if I'm wrong phoenix people. I'm one of those people who basically only does VW and spams it every single day as well, not one of those people who happens to do it once a week.

Now, I don't know much about VW, but could a lot of the loot problems be fixed by just adding an add to pool option to chests?

**Darkmagi** · 2012-01-11 07:06

Has been mentioned about a million times, yes it could, and yes it has been refused numerous times by the dev team.

The development team has specifically said they don't want to do this because they don't want people/linkshells selling rare/ex armor, like in Abyssea.

**Vandalhart** · 2012-01-11 08:46

Ahh, thanks for the heads up. It just goes to show how much I've actually kept up with Voidwatch

From what I understand only the dev team actually thinks this is a problem. People have been selling rare/ex for years.

Like the things you want drop often enough to want to sell them....

The fact that they treat us like complete morons and think we'll believe the VW drop system is designed to do anything besides prolonging the life of VW is what disgusts me the most. That last response to VW changes is about the closest I've come to quitting the game out of sheer disgust.

**Hirronimus** · 2012-01-11 10:45

Two more clears left, then I'm done with this bullshit. Idgaf about non-existent drops. :D

I tried to google translate the JP forum dev posts from this morning, it looks like more DRG adjustments and COR adjustments. From what I could make out from the poor translation, they're thinking of changing Spirit Surge's haste from magic haste to JA haste like Hasso but they need more time. I think it also stated that if they did this, they would have to reneg on the previously promised adjustment to its duration which was slated to be increased from 60 seconds to 90 seconds or it would be too strong. I think they also addressed about unlinking the shared timers of jumps and spirit/soul jumps but it was kind of garbled in translation so we'll have to wait for tonight unless someone can read JP and translate it for us!

They were also talking on the COR forums about adjusting Drachen Roll because it requires a DRG to be in the party for the bonus but provides no bonus to the wyvern so I think they were discussing enhancing breath potency under its effect as well.

**Taint** · 2012-01-11 11:34

If they added a loot to pool option people might do more then 3-4 mobs in VW, which is another one of their goals.

Stop the presses, I'm going to drop my current rolls for an ability that enhances breath potency. The same breaths that get resisted to shit on most mobs that matter because they all come pre-loaded with BDT-%.

I think it was in addition to the pet MAB, since previously it made no sense that Drachen Roll was boosted by having a DRG in the party but it offered absolutely NO benefit to DRG.

Are we back to the days of loldrg? I miss those days.

The best part of that VW post by SE is this:

Finally, we plan on discussing topics in regards the loot system in the future, so please continue submitting your feedback.

As if they don't know by now wtf we want haha.
