One Request[Interview]: Poll

[kupkup]

i said other cause id like to see ENMs as an option for fighting one of the kings. like have an NPC outside of dragons aery, behemoth dominion, and valley of sorrows and every 5 days you talk to them and you get put into that zone or something so it seems authentic and its got a chance at letting you fight a king or NQ. and if that still seems like the drops would be too common then just make the drop rates crappier. i just want a shot since alot of the LSs fighting these things dont let you hold another LS and im too much of a pussy to leave the one ive been with for like 2 years.

ENMs to fight the kings would definetely be popular. I'd absolutely love this, although I don't see SE as being nice enough to put this in.

[Banigaru]

Almost all of those options are excellent. It's difficult to chose between them. :/

Sea Jailer's Drop 100% on pop items.

It's taken us 3 months to get 2 spawns worth for Prudence, we popped one last night, no drop. We'll do another next Monday and we won't get a drop there either. That will be 3 months of farming wasted for NOTHING. We're 1/6 on Fortitude too. With Treasure Hunter 4. Sea drop rates are obscene.

Sea Jailer's Loot pool to be deeper, like sky.

See above. Prudence gave us a torque that is situationally an extra 0.3% extra damage for BLM and a rod which makes WHM looke like Sailor Moon but is othewise worse than useless.

BTW, 100% resistant to debuffs, thanks from the RDM. Hitting for 400 triple attacking rapeing NIN and PLD alike, your tanks say thanks. Do I have to even mention melee? Thanks for making end game 100% black mage SE. Dipshits.

Ouryu, Vrtra, Jour, and Tiamat Loot pool much more deeper.

How about they actually drop their loot instead of giving us a fire crystal?

Merit point revamp; new skills, new merit caps, and more.

I have no interest in wasting my time grinding more 75XP on the same stupid mobs I've pissed hundreds of hours of my life away on already. I'd rather they NOT do that. Give us something new.

More wyrms or wyrm lvl end game mobs added.

Probably coming with next expansion. For us on servers where Fafnir has 150 guests waiting in Aery for LQ, what we need is better access to existing NMs, not more. We already spend 80 hours a week between dynamis, limbus, kings, sea, sky.

3 King HQs Pop more frequent than 3-7 days.

Put the drops on KS99. Even DOUBLING the spawn rate would take 20ish dalmatica a year to 40ish which is FAR too few for a server. And while you do that you're just cutting Ridill drops. To bring this to a reasonable level Ridill would have to drop 10x more often and HQs spawn every 2nd day.

Camping kings IS NOT FUN. Getting the gear from them should be a challenge to win the fight, not standing around with 150 other people all AFK for 25 minutes at a time watching TV. That is not what I want to pay my monthly fee to do. It is not a good game mechanic. Drops need to be fixed so people won't go through this horrible experience.

Other. (type below)

Drop rates across the board need to be improved dramatically. From dynamis to limbus to NMs to ENMs to wyrms. MMORPGs are based on repeating limited content, but FFXI's drop rate which enforces that reptition is much much too low right now. As I said, we can be spending 80 hours a week on LS events per week as it is. We need things like Osode, w.legs, AF2 and coin drops etc. to improve so we can actually stop doing some of this stuff we are doing.

For example we're looking at at best 1 peice of Limbus armor and 1 coin item per week. We're going to be screwing away 4 hours a week for 2 years minimum on this stupid little boring and repetitve zone and at the end we still won't have everyone the items they want.

Sea's drop rate and tedium has seriously got me considering quitting. Limbus is pushing me further. If this is really what SE thinks the end game should be, it's going to be the end of my game.

[ertyu]

its kinda hard to pick from one of these options...
but adding more things to end game would greatly benefit it.
Pop items from jailers seems bugged and should be changed anyway... thats really gay if thats the intended design.
Alternate ways to obtain the land king abjs would be nice, from KS99 NM is perfect since it is a large feat to obtain 99 kindred seals...

And for gods sake the most important thing

BALANCE THE DIFFERENT JOBS IN THE GAME imo is one of the most important thhings besides adding more end game content.. theres a lot of work to be done but i hope they actually do some things to improve this wonderfully addicting game <3

Don't say that ; ; SE love using their nerf stick

OTHER:

The economy needs serious reworking. Which in my opinion should include the making of many more items Rare/Ex that currently are not (not simply introduce new harder to get items that are Rare/Ex [*cough* Ninurta's Sash]) or Sold by NPC.

For Example...

- Make a NPC that sells Crystal Clusters for a maximum of 3000g each.
- Make items such as Kraken Club and Speed Belt (and any other super items that are not craftable and that are never sold on AH because of tax risk) Rare/EX
- Make dynamis and limbus currency EX (Not Tradeable or Sellable).

That last one I think is one of the most important as its being completely abused.

What are you talking about? Let's say SE decided to add a Wyrm for the rest of the elements, maybe add in a few more 24 hr HNMs (without gay pop conditions (ie King Vinegar)), and then lowered wyrm pop time or something, how is that bad? You would have those LSes doing more stuff. Well if you add a ton more mobs in the game, then those linkshells in aery would be fighting something else up at that time. Of course that is assuming they have pimp drops worth fighting over camping Fafnir.

I PITY THE LINKSHELL WHO HAS 6500 CURRENCY ON A GUY WHO QUITS LOL!

[Judah]

reading 'FFXIFlux' post made me want to quit. lol.

you're on crack, those are some of the worse ideas ever.

if they want to curb the Dynamis Currency and Limbus Currency problem, put them on the freaking AH.

[Not Kuno]

NPCs that sell clusters will obliterate the best way new players can earn gil (cystals). Kraken and Speed Belt being rare/ex is an ok idea, but making Ancient + Dynamis currency EX? So you would have to pretty much decide before you even go into any Dynamis who is getting what relic? That's so terrible I won't even get into it.

Not enough options. Its not like every person who reads this message board is at end game or does any end game besides Sky.

Maybe too many people have given up hope of SE actually doing something that would make us not spend an absurd amounts of time doing each end game activity.
