Dynamis - Tavnazia Unlocked

[Lordwafik]

nawt fuck dynamis.

There's the perfect Zilart Dynamis

or the Joke of CoP dynamis.

I still blame enix for this ^_^ The game wasnt BS like this till they came in.

[Gilanth]

Hope they fix the Dunes 1st

From someone who thinks NQ dynamis is gay or boring, this should be cool.

I know, Wafik, you have a big boner for Zilart dynamis but- NEWSFLASH- alot of people see it as a boring ass waste of xp in the hopes that someone's Duelist Chapeu drops. Not to say that it's a bad way to spend your time in the game (there are LS rewards that are nice), but a breath of fresh air is never a bad thing.

I can see serious Dynamis lovers hating this, but who the fuck cares about them? They can stick with the regular shit. Christ.

Wow that's like saying "I know my house is on fire but I've always wanted a pile of rubble to play in". How about SE gets their shit together and releases exiting zones that arn't retardedly gay and a waste of time. I like to have fun but my idea of fun isn't locking out other dynamis zones so I can die for 3 coins and a retarded belt.

No, it's nothing like that. GTFO

[Not Kuno]

I want a pile of rubble to play in.

I have a fucking missile-sized boner for Zilart dynamis, because they're perfect in every which way. No faults. The only thing people complained about is the drop rate.

Now we have CoP dynamis, hardly any time extension, sj stripped from you, AF2 drop rate SMASHED, coin drop rate SMASHED, af2-1 is hardly existant because that requires AF2. The only good thing from these zones is acessories and a sense of doing something new.

Bercus>/slap for your last BG Post

Okay, I'll try to elaborate. Firstly, let's ignore city drops, which aren't too difficult to get if you put in your time. We could argue about whether those drops are really commiserate to the time it takes, but I don't think the time is a big deal there.

So when we get to Northlands, I'm a MNK, WHM, and NIN. MNK is...useless. A War Shinobi and a gimp Shura head? OK. NIN? Some nice nighttime hands and a Shura Togi? OK. WHM? A regen macro piece and...MP gloves? OK.

In this sense, Northlands Dynamis (the only challenging or difficult drop ones) is just performed to get (some) other people some nice stuff. That's nice and, to be honest, why I play the game. But it's really cool to get nice stuff yourself, too. CoP gets the best Chi back piece (and, arguably, MNK gets the best return out of any stat with MND and Chi, 1 MND=10dmg), a very nice waist item for NIN (I'm not loaded, I'd sell my SB in a second if I got it), and uhhh....MP on my back.

When it comes down to, it's not like you're getting merit points for doing Dynamis. You're just getting items. Some jobs really would get more out of CoP dynamis than Zilart. And if you have to go into smaller groups then...don't people do that for Limbus already? Hell, you could do a staggered schedule. You don't have to be Wednesday and Sunday, you can be do that and then Thursday and Monday the next week, and just rotate it. Is it gonna work for everyone? No. But is it gonna get you a huge variety of shit, useful for many people? Yes.

Besides, it's totally retarted to complain when you don't know what can drop from the new zones anyway.

EDIT: On that point, don't we already sacrifice 3 hours for someone's TH4, which while really sexy looking, results in like a 5% (at best!) improvement over a lvl 45 THF? So if we sacrifice a chance at that for someone's XXX as long as it's decent, it doesn't really matter. The more I think about it, the more I want to say the RDMs without their second pimp hat are the the most sad about this.

[Lordwafik]

No.

Spending 1m gil and all these peoples time on either

a) A place with a reasonable drop rate, and multiple time extensions that can push you to 3.5hours

OR

b) A place with a horrible drop rate, and the only way of getting free time (used for farming) is killing the boss for +60mins(which you cant do farming with a small group) , not forgetting you have to unlock SJ each and every time (time deducted from farming for Dyna-Valk, sometimes Dyna-Quf, depending where the ??? pops), etc.

Dynamis zones, unlike HNM, has the potential to benefit every single job in there. You're not spending 3.5hours to get 1 persons Assasin's Armlets, they may/may not even drop, you might get a ton of other AF2.

[Izzy]

If the dev team can do it, you can too!

[Genosync]

If the time extensions don't add up to three hours, I'll forget this area exists.

[Kurp]

Can't manaburn Fairy Ring? :/

I know a ton of people in my LS were waiting and waiting for another crack at Valkurm after another boring ass city flaggin run. People are sick of doing them.. they're easy and boring.

The new zones are fast paced. Do or die. That sense of urgency doesn't occur all that often in FFXI and it's welcomed as far as I'm concerned. But, then again, I don't give a fuck about currency. And relic armors are far from guaranteed in RoZ dynamis zones, especially highlands.

I really like the new zones. I'm sorry you don't, but fuck if some people dig it, is it really the failure you think it is?

Of course it is though... there are the BG forums afterall. We all know everything SE sucks here.

[Tom Chambers]

But that other ton of AF2 might suck, so...congratulations on your E. Legs?? If you have Koga Chainmail you probably have something better, too. If you have Cleric's Briault you probably have something better (except for that Regen!!!)...and if you really want a Melee Cyclas...lol.

And if you don't get the extension you're not wasting an equal amount of time, you're only wasting an equal amount of money. I still don't see what the problem is with more challenging Dynamis' that drop different stuff. Isn't that WAR belt pretty pimp, too?

And

it's totally retarted to complain when you don't know what can drop from the new zones anyway.

As I said, alot of people think Dynamis is a waste of time and xp as it is. Might as well switch it up, cause as one of those people, I'll tell you I go when I have nothing better to do. And I mean that not just in-game, but anything. BBQ for unknown co-worker leaving > another Dynamis-Jueno.

Yes.

[Correction]

So this is how SE plans on taking yet another 300 billion gil *pinkie* out of the economy...by making 18 people burn it a million gil at a time in 15 minutes...every 3 days.

Fuck Dynamis. Even northlands Dynamis is ass. Joy, 3 hours farming zones for 50 coins, AF2 that never drops and really isn't that great anyway.

I wonder if Tom Chambers works for SE or something. You do NOT applaud a company for coming out with things that are harder if the rewards are not close to equal to the rewards for easier encounters. I can take 18 people into Dynamis-Bastok and probably get 10x the shit out of it in 15 minutes than I expect to get from Dyn-Tav.

It's fun until your shell runs out of money and you wake up one day and say...fuck, what did all that money/time get me?

[Kurp]

Yea Correction.. like the 1 mil spread over an alliance means anything these days.

[Matricide]

this is such a retarded update.

[Correction]

Right, and I guess everyone you took to kill Dynamis Lord is just thrilled that you're going to lose a 3 day cycle in your schedule while you take a Fafnir job alliance (RDM/PLD/NIN/BLM/BRD/WHM/SMN onry) to a zone that still drops items for all 15 jobs.

Owait but you just want to lookit the pretty graphics or something.

Bad design is bad design. I can't believe people thing the restrictions on Dynamis-Tavnazia are anything other than the result of a drunken dartboard game:

'ok lol new dynamis zone is restricted to *THUNK* 15 minutes! HAHAHA! And you will be facing *THUNK* mobs that are immune to sleep and can sleep you through poison! And finally only *THUNK* 18 people get to come! holy shit someone give me another drink!'
