Colonization Thread

[Jem]

Not necessarily linked to Pioneers since the guy you buy the KI is all off on his lonesome in E Adoulin and not associated with any particular coalition

[Seha]

He's from the Armtrhgvwbf society.

[Malithar]

if Wildskeeper Reives 100k Bayld pricetag is reduced by personal coalition rank, would that not mean you have to rank up a lot in Pioneers?

Sorry if I'm wrong I haven't reached that point to know

Going by the NPCs text from the .dats, the community believed Wildskeepers were opened through fame (speaking of which, never saw a report of his middle text option..). Since its actually by using 50 tags at any coalition, I'd think it would be a factor of your combined rank at all coalitions, not just pioneers.

Can anyone else confirm this as a possible bug:
Was doing A colonization reive, 2 of my chars died. I raised the whm up before the reive ended, and she got 0 xp/bayld at the end, and she didnt get any xp/bayld upon raising either, and she did not just batch of xp/bayld before dying. Upon raising her, I got the "Vermy has joined the Col.Reive" message...as if all the progress she had made was NOT saved, but lost because she got up before it ended.
My other character died, and stayed down till the reive was over. When she got up, she got the xp/bayld for completing the reive after being raised.

Has anyone else noticed something like this?

There's a message which occurs while you're dead about storing xp/bayld. I don't know if it still appears since they nixed the "you didn't earn enough" message, but maybe it could be something like, if you didn't get an eval while dead it doesn't save your eval/progress? idfk man SUCK LESS DON'T DIE etc.

However, I'm fairly certain whenever I reraise I get the "Rocl has joined the blargblargh Reive!" message.

You don't need to amass people to kill em. I'm sure a strong legion 18 man setup can do it. I mean they said the pld never even died and just held it. that = easy. It's like a lvl 75 PW fight but no 2 hour timer. Why make you spend 100k bayld to kill a mob, that didn't even drop anything cept a KI. It's why I'm guessing there's another fight after it, kinda like how you had bahamut and bahamut 2.0. It even says next version you get to fight some new fights if you alreayd completed the current shit.

Something like this might not be out of the question, if you recall, there is a picture of Dev's fighting what appears to be Achuka, but almost 3 times the size of it.
Matsui also said that there are surprises to come, perhaps something to do with the real Naakual, if they exist.

And yeah, really cant use the recent attempts at Colkhab a base for their difficulty, coz, I mean, buff-less, cure-less DDs going in and fighting/dying/re-raising? yeah, no.

The Naakual are regarded as regional gods I believe? I think it's absurd that they'd be be able to taken down is such a stupid manner as Twilight DDs getting thrown at them and them not regening health, and to further that, SE is making it easier to access these things (perhaps so HQs are a little more accessible?).

Has anyone else noticed something like this?

I thought that was the normal way of things since the first few times I died I always(? whenever I was paying attention) got that message "Vig/Luci has joined the reive" upon reraising and just took it for usual SE dickiness in making people work for their bayld. So eventually I stopped paying close attention to messages until couple of days ago while laying dead for a longer while I got the message that my XP/bayld had been stored for me and was like wtf which is it supposed to be? Am I in or out of the reive while dead? If it's a bug I'd say it's pretty common.

And now we know that SE intended the colonization rate to be higher so it wouldnt have had as much DT (if that hypothesis ends up being correct)

I just tried it again...char who raised before the reive ended had their "progress wiped", didnt get a final xp/bayld tally and didnt get any loot. Char who stayed dead post end of reive got a huge chunk of bayld/xp and got loot. Dont think thats a coincidence.

[Sekhmet]

I can confirm that I got the Wildskeeper access ki from Dimmian with courier's coalition rank 3, Disciple. I have NOT gotten the cs from Brenton to progress further in the missions yet, but that is simply because I haven't bothered too try. Courier's is the only coalition I have ranked up in, all the others are rank 1, Petitioner.

isn't there also the situation where you do enough for an evaluation but die before the next tally? and it'll say "didn't receive EXP cos KO'd" but the progress is kinda saved so when you raise you get that chunk back?

[macross]

Jpns on bismark ganked it today, I heard Iclamar dropped. No idea if in pool or just pop to someone.

[Prothescar]

Spoiler: show

56% atm, slowly but surely going down. Getting waves of PDs with each Ability reset, not sure if mentioned but SMN BPs are true AoE like in Campaign here.

[Dew]

Just killed it on Bismarck. Got Xux hat on mule and Xux pants on main.

Drops are direct after reive ends like all other reives.

[Darkmagi]

Well, at least it actually drops things now.

Was there anything in a loot pool or just the end-of-Reive personal stuff?

[Dew]

Was only personal pools nothing from mob.

[Byrthnoth]

I bet they take (1-Zone Colonization%) damage. Good to know where Xux stuff comes from. Do not look forward to trying to farm those pants.

[Prothescar]

dead, not a single drop was given that day

[Shenrien]

It's less rewarding than Voidwatch, congrats square I don't know how you managed to pull that off.
