If Voidwatch doesn't get more rewarding, the future of XI is going to look bleak.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for difficult battles but getting Mahogany logs repeatedly isn't my idea of having fun.

which leads to the main problem of voidwatch... We're tolerant to salvage drop rates, theyre upsetting, but we can deal with it. Throw in Salvage drop rates where RNG decides who gets the loot, and yeah, fuck you lol.

What?

[Kaisha]

RNG - Random Number Generator.

[NynJa]

you dont designate who gets what, the game does by putting it in chests

oh, RNG...yeah, that.

Hasn't been a whole lot of rumbling about WOE on the test server but from what I've heard people are getting single coins in the personal chest and no singles off mobs? Would it be better to try and bust out these last 6 coins before the update or is waiting the better option?

[Churchill]

Get your shit before the update. Not to say they won't fix what they've fucked up later, but who knows when that will be.

[Toth]

It might be a little early to mention this since the September version update hasn’t even taken place yet, but the development team has already begun preparing for level 99.

To get a glimpse of the direction we are headed with automaton adjustments, the below are the main concepts:

1. Revamp all attachment effects
2. Revamp automaton AI
3. Addition of job abilities that will cure automaton status ailments

We will be bringing you all the detailed info some time after the September version update on the forum and test server.

This has already been said but at least SE is acknowledging that they are fixing the automaton AI :D

Voidwatch is just Square's revenge for us riding Abyssea's "good times and frequent drop rate" bus. Now everyone has to load up on the "soul-crushing misery and terrible drop rate" train.

Also known as the Tanaka train?

lol, do we have to go over this every page?

People aren't tolerant with those drops rates anymore since Abyssea. I myself get annoyed with mahogany logs every run, I do enjoy the fights though. I don't enjoy everyone getting upset over the drops though, after a while I can see it getting to the point where people wouldn't wanna do it anymore.

Like nynja said, salvage drop rates can be somewhat tolerable (excluding ssr pre-patches) as long as it hits the treasure pool. Getting nothing because a body dropped to someone's mule that already got one previously sucks...a lot

You didn't get nothing because a body dropped to someone else, multiple people can get bodies in the same run. Seeing someone get the item you want is *frustrating*, but it doesn't appear to actually hurt your own chances of getting it.

It's not like a loot pool with at most one of something you want.

[Churchill]

Focusing way too much on the word "because" instead of assuming he's just talking about how gay the drop system is.

[Forte]

Everyone's favorite autist got Yugl's thread locked. Awesome.

Voidwatch is terrible, I rather a more challenging abyssea than taking 5 steps back to bad drop rates, crappy light system, has cop dev team written all over it.

I was simply commenting on how lame it is when you do a run, get only one body drop, but its to someone who already has so that body goes to waste. Many of the drops are rare enough that even with treasure pooling, they will still be rare.

It has nothing to do with people getting items that you want...you're a fucking retard if that is what you perceived from my post. This isnt "scrubby war who has no life is getting E.Bd over my pimped war cuz I have a job and cant camp 24/7", which is what I think you're understanding.

[Colenzo]

voidwatch is easily spammable, I don't see what the huge deal is
