come to think of it, i remember seeing that new protocrystal/crystal thingy in the dats.. don't think i made mention of it but never thought much about it either...

Or be douchey and require max abyssites from all paths. :/

More than likely, which I fear since I've been seeing less and less VW shouts and I'm too lazy to make my own ='(

How would it be douchey to require people have done all of the pervious content before getting to the end of the content? I liken it to requiring missions to be able to access Sky or Sea.

Lazy people are just lazy. SE said they won't increase drop rate on old VW content, but they said they would make up for it in the NEW VW content. So here it goes. Hopefully pouches drop at a steady rate and hopefully they add riftcinder dross pouches since it follows the zilart path. (the pouch path). Each NM probably has pets like zilart ones. In Before, Crystal Dragon drops Arise scroll.

I'm looking forward to this update, it looks amazing.
This will NOT be updated introduced in the TEST SERVER. People can't read either lol.

In comparison to being able to do all VW fights prior as long as someone can at least pop it? I know I've never been a fan of the whole "exclusive content" schtick, but there's not exactly incentive for people to backtrack for the sake of others. Before I took my break/quit, my LS hadn't even touched the Zilart path and talk about VW always involved spamming body NMs. Sure, someone might get lucky with PUGing for clears, but that's also like CoP all over again hoping you're in the right place at the right time on the right job.

People shout all the time on my server. Hell, I shouted for every single clear I got. It takes 3 hours to clear the entire path of sandy. 3 hours for bastok, 3 hours for windy and 1 day for zilart or jeuno paths. I say 3 hours cause ppl NEVER teleported to the damn VW area. They would walk on foot all the time.

Its possible to clear an entire city path in 50 mins when done correct. Also, the number of clears will increase if they are needed in next update to advance to finale. Same thing happened with boss clears in abyssea when shinryu was announced.

[Churchill]

My main and 3 mules all have T6/T3 access and were all done separately minus doing Zilart T1/2 with 2 chars at the same time. I find it hard to suffer through excuses of no temps, no warps, because it's so fucking easy to get it done. If you see a shout, drop what you're doing and do it, or make your own. I wouldn't mind not being able to do the final area, a la Shinryu, without clearing all previous first.

[Draylo]

Yeah there are so many lazy people, they won't even get a 4th stone! Then they try to warp out and make you wait.

[NynJa]

You dont need 18 people to kill t1 and 2 mobs (other than tiamat, fuck that thing). If you shout saying you're doing a full path, you'll get a couple bites. Theres no excuse to not have your shit unless your excuse is "I'm a lazy sack of shit and no ones gonna easymode it for me".

[Rehn]

Good god, this. I so hate it when that happens. And then they get defensive when someone points it out they are wasting the entire alliance's time.

On that note, I thought 4x per run was just the right number. With the additional voidstone slots, 6x per run is gonna feel too long!

[machiko]

It's not lazyness, Square just gave very little reason to get clears.

If clears will be needed almost everyone will get them within the first few weeks and given the retarded nature of the VW drop system they will probably get the drops before the people that had clears all along.

This is gonna be terrible when we get the 5th and 6th stones as mentioned in the dats.

[Khamsin]

At least 6 stones will line up with the 3 stone people, so you can afk while they restone and not have to go restone yourself after the next fight or two.

Though I'd prefer not letting people restone and just doing 6 fights with no breaks. The 3-5 stone people can just settle for xp/cruor.

Yeah it pretty much is laziness.

[Churchill]

lol.

That's why people don't find out what a decent TP build would be, WS build, Atma's, weapons, strategy, get their temps, etc., because it's not needed. It certainly isn't lazyness and blatant disrespect towards everyone else they're making suffer through their bullshit.

[Kaisha]

Hoping people stick to runs of 4.

I don't have the onhand inventory to hold the junk items (the gil adds up) for 5-6 pops, nor do I want to blow through my stones/dust at an even faster rate when they're 30k a pop.

[Lyramion]

Just like ppl didnt bother clearing more than 1 Abyssea Boss till all of a sudden - ZOMG 3rd Abyssite, then ZOMG weakness spy abyssite and then ZOMG shinryu and cheap brews.

get your stones or gtfo

[Darkmagi]

Yeah, I make it clear in any shouts that I make that we are doing 4 kills at once and if you don't have 4 stones, you can wait to restock.

[Shenrien]

I don't bother waiting for the people, they know they joined a run for 4 NMs, not 3 and than make everyone wait 10 minutes while their gimp ass goes to get a stone then drop and shout for a sky tele, or run through Zi'tah because they don't know what a sky warp is, and they only have T1 Zilart Atmacite but don't have the teleports activated for that even because they never talked to any of the NPCs in the area and don't know how to upgrade it, and yes that has happened before as an explanation why they don't have T3 -_-.
