Assuming everyone thought Abyssea was the best change to this game ever. Assuming everyone had the same opinion about Abyssea will have the same for this after they have done it for so long. I think you should lay off the drugs imo. People have differing opinions, if you opened this expecting everyone to be jumping for joy then you were wrong sunny boy.
ITT: Everyone is off their Meds(cept me!)
You can legitimately hate Abyssea, but you have to understand that the vast majority of people enjoy it, think it's helped keep this game alive, and don't want to go back to the old days. You have to realize that bitching about SE doing something that the majority of the playerbase supports is like bitching about the sun rising; a fucking waste of time.
I'm pretty sure we've had plenty of topics about this, how Abyssea is a step in the right direction and if you don't like it feel free to watch us not give a shit. That is why I am confused by this return to bitching.
Did I say everyone? Point to where I said everyone. Majority. If you are one of the minority who doesn't, guess what? No one fucking cares about the minority.
I take offense to "you people." Recognize us Elvaan for what we are: Mutant X Dhalmels. We are no some street Opo-opo or house cat. We've passed the *You must be this high to enjoy the ride* test multiple times and we don't have Native American carvings.
Sarcasm aside, I continue to offer you the choice to fuck yourself because no one gives a shit about your opinion. Yes, you are allowed to have it, but since you've decided to tattoo it to your dick and pretend that even though you are the minority you still matter, my offer still stands.
I look forward to reading about your menstrual rage paintings tomorrow.
I don't care as long as we don't go back to bots, huge lines to participate in events, and maintain a ~3-6 member PT necessity.
Yeah man, it sucks how this is just more farming trash mobs for pops to fight nm's, and fighting over random spawns.
It's really simple: we knew all along that this was a vnm/enm type system where we'd go out and fight single mobs. What did you expect to be "Fresh" about that besides the mobs themselves?
From what I can tell, this has the best parts of abyssea (nm's that are easy to get to fight against, ability to somewhat control your rewards, atmas and abyssites), without all the bullshit (farming trash mobs for pops, farming more trash mobs for time, etc.).
You guys are just looking at the fact that they're continuing to use some of their better ideas, which is a good thing, and going "herp derp abyssea sucks."
Between this and new KCNMs, I'm actually looking forward to it all.
The only thing that strikes me as disappointing at this time is that it seems they're recycling a lot of the old NMs...again. After they released that one pic of the 4 armed gilgamesh-looking guy I started to expect at least a majority of them would be new designs...
And of course, if the rewards are crappy, that will determine how popular these new events will be...
Looks lame. Scrap this bullshit and give us save-able Atma sets and a minimap.
Edit: oh and fuck them for putting fucking Atma into this. I'd like to have to actually worry about surviving when fighting shit for once, please.
Double edit: looks like our motivation to do Grounds of Valor is that certain ascent items come from treasure caskets.
Wow, people sure are bitchy today.
My main issues:
Minimum 6 people
Only 3 paths, and probably not instanced. This is going to suck, regardless, because if it's worth anything it will be crowded as fuck. It would already be crowded as fuck with all the retards on my server, but I also have all of the retards from another server to make things even worse than they already were, thanks SE!
I also kinda hate the stupid random weakness stuff, but I guess having a bit of control over drops and stuff is better than a 5% drop rate?
meh. Hope this is useless, since I'll probably never be able to do it due to the above reasons.
(for some reason I thought the update was like on the 16th, fuck that's soon, fuck, need to do shit before that fucking merge)
(edit2: uh, why does the servmes ingame say may 22, i'm so confused)
looking at the order of colors and points listed, it wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being; cruor for blue (quantity), CP for red (quality), IS for yellow (exp), AN for green (cruor) and treasure casket for white (atmacite/periapt thing). IS is most likely the rarest at this point but no one cares about the exp. AN might be rare for many people unless they hoarded on it when the campaign was popular but again, who cares about a few more k cruor when you already have millions? CP and treasure casket though can be a major drawback, depending on the cost of the thing in CP and wether they are gonna increase brown casket pop/drop rates (assuming it will probably be similar to casket gear drop rates, in other words: shit)
SE employee 1: "How do we fix campaign?"
SE employee 2: "Add abyssea all around it!"
between getting voidwatch stones a lot of people are most likely gonna go to campaign battles so... if the rewards are good they fix campaign and give us something to do :D
Not looking forward to it like most people are .... but its something. and if people start doing campaign on bahamut server because of it maybe we'll see more roundel earrings... and i'll be able to get clear for that battle with the dynamis lord in the past...
Just wait how it pans out. The only thing I dislike so far is "upgrade stuff with cruor"... oh god I hate cruor PTs so much...
