Colonization Thread

[Spira]

yes, we did.

edit: we just didn't know how much.
numerical values are handled by code and not hard script.

The auto stuck with ice, actually targeting the weakness correctly for once. I couldn't get a dmg count as upon deactivation, the dmg won't appear in the chatlog (the times I did see the dmg were when I didn't deactivate and got slashed). Assuming I only got 291 dmg nukes using tranquilizer and it took 38 nukes for 1%, that would be ~1.1million hp (Hoping I'm way off on that). As for the nerf, I don't really mind, as much as I like pup, all the horrible pups I've seen makes me hate it at the same time.

The tier 2 that Spira is referring to isn't in the game yet. The dialogue tables only have descriptions for the bonuses offered by Flag, Signboard, and Emblem, and a bunch of blanks for the rest. Once all three upgrades are completed for a coalition, we'll be in a maintenance-only phase until SE decides to add more.

The text for the higher upgrades may not be in the game but the upgrades themselves definitely are. You can see them if you stand very far away... there's a balcony that pops up among other things. When you get closer they disappear.

Yeah I've noticed that. You can also see them for a brief moment when you first zone in.

[NynJa]

Its written right in the patch notes, SE capped the upgrades at 3 for now, incase anyone forgot that.

[Tsuneo]

I think the coalition buildings are supposed to get bigger when you rank up, and that's what you see for a moment when you zone in.

Don't bother wasting your bald on these until the colonization is higher lol

[Rocl]

Also, that guy on ffxiah is most likely trolling as we're both on Fenrir and when I entered at midnight, it was at 100%, then I woke up this morning finding it at 99% still.

So, uh, did you log out in the Reive-area and log back in? (I was wondering if this was possible!) Also, you said you got it down to 97% but found it at 99% when you woke it up, so does that mean it regens~!? ;-;

[Tymon]

So if I'm correct here:

- Everyone needs the 50-tag-completed KI
- Only the leader needs the 100k Bayld one

To enter?

No.

Everyone needs the 100k item.

Judging by what he said and the timestamps I'd say he got it to 99% at midnight went to bed woke up 9 hours later and found it still at 99%. Then preceded to take it to 97

[Tymon]

No.

Everyone needs the 100k item.

Then I would expect at least a guaranteed drop for everyone participating, if not more.

Of course this is SE, so we'll probably see logs for everyone. No one is going to do this unless the rewards are guaranteed.

I want to do it even if the drops are useless. New hnm fights that require a proper alliance and strategy? Yes, please. You can keep your awesome rewards from chopping logs.

Edit: of course I hope they add ways to accumulate bayld that is not attacking immobile objects for hours on end. ....

[blackmail]

I have 2 chars that have done ALMOST every coalition quest together.

I got the CS for mission 1-7 today on one.

Haven't gotten it for the other char.

The only difference quest completion that I see is "A stones throw away (Demolition)" and the Geomancer quest.

It seems very likely that one or both of these are also required.

I will confirm tomorrow when I have 1-2 more imprimateurs but I'm 99% certain my mule has actually done MORE coalition assignments than the one that got the cs.

The novelty is going to wear off...like the people who camped Nidhogg in 2009 for the "thrill of the fight".

As I mentioned previously, there very well could be an additional prerequisite that we haven't pinpointed yet. I have an LS mate that has done over 50 tags and all 42 quests that can't flag the mission.

@nynja no doubt. But the novelty of doing reives wore off for me by day 2 or so... Naakuals will at least last me a few months of novelty alone, disregarding drops.

[Tymon]

The issue: Bayld was very easy to get for the first week when 100+ people were in Ceizak doing Reives.

This isn't going to stick. It's already half of what it was. Down below a quarter on smaller servers. Bayld rate is a fraction of what it was. Yes you can do assignments, but it isn't as fast. Asking an entire alliance to go farm up 100k AFTER they farm >40-50k for gear is incredibly ridiculous.

[Gokulo]

Probable answer: later down the road you will be able to gain more byald a lot easier.

Absolutely, but it goes back to my prior statement: This is SE.

I hope so, I really do.

[Michelob]

I actually think a different way to acquire the KIs will be the answer but regardless something is bound to change (or be figured out).
