Colonization Thread

[Jem]

One week isn't going to kill you. Get some more bayld and buy all this stuff next week when it unlocks. In the meantime try to work on other coalitions too so you'll be able to buff this stuff even more (assuming increasing Inventor's may have an effect on gear buffs too).
I'd be pissed too if the flag option didn't disappear but it does.

It's just sad really. The majority of the people who just spam enter probably have years of playtime. Some will spend 40+ hours a week in the game and no doubt have complained in the past about watching their moogle spin or being bored in Jeuno/Whitegate. Yet they can't even take a miniscule amount of time to read what the NPC says or look up what the votes do.

It's also sad because SE put a system in place where we get to decide how things develop/progress but they may as well not bothered. The people who actually care about the system have the system ruined not by people actually wanting the flag but by people just being plain ignorant/lazy.

I kinda wish the progress was player dependant and spamming enter reverted to no vote so that the people who just spam enter would be left wondering wtf when they couldn't access the same stuff as everyone else.

And for the record, I don't really care about getting the head/body pieces or the crafting stuff. It's not really that useful for the jobs I play/have geared and I don't craft. Just think it sucks for the people who put in the effort (I used all my tags on Inventors to try help out a friend).

I can't wait to get my hands on a crafting ring to start testing HQ effect. I'm fully expecting it to be a 1% increase, anything else would be broken as hell. Even 5% would completely change the hexed -1 market.

There is no testing on rusk right now that I would trust, just a lot of ancedotal evidence and screenshots of people popping rusk before they HQ. What we don't see is the thousands of people popping rusk and then going 0/16.

If someone wants to believe it helps, great, to each their own. But actual testing? Not that I've seen.

I actually have just been slacking on posting the data I have lol. But I got a like 2k+ for each character sample somehwere. Just kinda wanted to wait and combine with my ohter food tests

You seem like an emotional fucking wreck over something that you don't care about

Get the mining pants if your pioneer coalition has them. Anecdotal evidence, but I bought them in the hope of getting more Midrium and 5 stacks of picks later I've just thrown away my sixth marble...

[Khajit]

Any testing on the DW from Thor head?

prolly none yet because everyone spammed enter XD

So mining pants helps get crap?

[Chamaan]

Probably. I've been mining all day and it seems like all it's doing is increasing success rate, rather than increasing rate of rare shit. So in the long run, lots of trash.

Far too low of reports of getting Skirmish pieces from HELMing (or even just in general..) to say either way, but more successes could very well lead to more pieces, or at least more chances at getting a piece.

I thought 1 server managed since we actually got the bayld cost when noone mentioned it until after jp midnight around me. I guess we must have mined for that instead.

If that's your idea of an emotional fucking wreck then I don't know what to tell you.

I don't care about the gear at all. I just find the ignorance and laziness displayed by the majority of the playerbase baffling. It's not unexpected but it always makes me wonder how people can be like that towards something they devote so much time to.

I don't think there's been any testing but at least 1 server has them unlocked since costs were posted. I imagine it's whichever server unlocked weapons last week. Carbuncle I think.

[Retsujo]

Personally I think that while the system is nice, it's going to be "default" no matter what. Just consider it "It takes this many rank ups to get what I want" rather than "Piss ass fuck shit players don't know what's best" and everyone will be just fine. If you want to hope your influence will change that, then hopefully your vote WILL count. Just don't get pissed when Obama gets a second term.

On Carbuncle, Ceizak Battlegrounds just rose to 26%. I'm going to guess that it has something to do with our rank 2 Coalitions, or it rises as all Coalitions rise... Currently Rank 2 Pioneer's and Peacekeepers, Rank 1 in everything else.

EDIT: And as soon as it does that, I post it. As soon as I post it, it falls to 23%. I don't understand that.

[ronin sparthos]

Starting to wonder if 26% is the soft cap until we expand into Morimar/Foret and start raising Colonization percentages there. Further, where does the Colonization percentages for Cirdas Caverns and the Gates go?

[bechyni]

Carbuncle is the server that unlocked them, we have amazing JPs

[Michelob]

LS mate just got the next mission. He got it after achieving probationer at two different coalitions. He duped once on accident for the record.

Edit: he doesn't know if it was the rankings that activated it or just a total tag usage. He said he got 6-9 tags from the glitch.

[macross]

So can you mail the rings? Or will we need to bring our mules to break roots!

[NynJa]

ppl have said muleable
