[Poll] What do you think about dynamis ?

[Aksannyi]

Dynamis, oh Dynamis ...

I hate Dynamis. It's too fucking long. Three hours ... why, SE, why?

Well, at least you wont wait long for a Chapeau :D

Yes, but you forget I did Dynamis in another shell for a long freaking time before I joined yours. So it actually evens right the fuck out, lol.

[siknoz]

When you enter Dyna, they should provide an option to veto certain AF from the drop pool.

Enter Xarc:
-DRG
-SAM
-WAR
-WHM
-MNK
-BST
-RNG


So uh....just give us the good stuff already ;[. I love paying 1mil to enter xarc to get 1 WAR AF and 0 100's. Truly awesome.

[Bregor]

Just add all Xarca demons to Nyzul



:D

Although the misery of seeing fifty Cotton Doublets and Bone Harnesses come from ??? Bodypieces would probably be just as soul-crushing as Dynamis these days.

SABNAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!

[Lordwafik]

It'd be great, seeing how all mobs retain their drops except for their "NM drop", they could easily let them drop single currencies too, and lucky groups would get a 100 currency

[Ashira]

Now, what does everyone thing about Dynamis now with proposed upcoming changes?

Lowered glass price and increased rates in Outlands, /cheer. I want more DRK helms. /nod

[Plow]

Dynamis is lame because they rigged it and anyone with significant xarc experience can state beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a dramatically raised drop rate on dragoon and bst nm's, far, far, far above all the others. That kind of shit is just plain dumb.

Sure, it's fun sometimes but it definitely drags every run in zilart zones and as an event altogether has been kind of dragging for a good 2 years now. Being 4/5 on a set with the missing piece being the most valuable for 3 years, and most certainly not for lack of runs, is just ridiculous.

Out of a total of 88 Dynamis-Xarcabard runs:

Dynamis-Xarcabard
Monster Gloves - 26
Sorcerer's Petasos - 23
Duelist's Chapeau - 20
Scout's Jerkin - 19
Assassin's Armlets - 18
Melee Crown - 18
Saotome Kabuto - 18
Wyrm Armet - 18
Bard's Cannions - 17
Cleric's Mitts - 17
Summoner's Horn - 17
Valor Surcoat - 15
Warrior's Lorica - 14
Abyss Burgeonet - 13
Koga Tekko - 13

Total: 266 AF

BST NM maybe, but DRG AF is average. I think the total will vary from LS to LS.

Can we PLEASE get a /facepalm smiley now.

I guess I'm a bit confused. Help me out a bit.

I think Hirokei was assuming that the guy was just being negative and trying to make a joke. I'm not convinced, though.

[Xno Kappa]

Take the BST and DRG thing with a grain of salt basically.

is what it looks like to me!

*EDIT* In response to the grain of salt thing. I agree, thats why I posted the stats lol.

[Xno Kappa]

Well your stats are obviously bs because Duelist Chapeau's don't exist.

[Therin]

Well your stats are obviously bs because Duelist Chapeau's don't exist.

I've always had fairly good luck with Chapeau in all my linkshells.

The same can't be said for Valor Surcoat or Assassin's Armlets, though. Those things have been much more rare.

DB's 14/88 on Surcoat is grossly high from what I had seen in my other linkshells. TG was probably about 3/60 when I left. @_@

They've gotten more now, though.

[Aksannyi]

My old Dyna ls got 3 lolwar bodies in Xarc one day, and fuckall else. Every last one of us was thinking the same thing: "Fuck you, SE. Fuck you."

[Mayareira]

Too long and boring.

[Howard Roark]

Honestly I think Dynamis would bode well on a limbus system for access.

20k per person per run? Cool.

Yeah, and Xarcabard will be constantly booked by 6 man party farming AF.

Not that I would mind, since I'll more than likely be part of the said party.

this happens on quetz already, jp's farming with like 9 people tops; gets hard to plan xarcs since there isn't really a shared JP/NA dynamis calendar

qft @ too may options, i was gonna pick 2 polar opposites just to be a dink but laziness won

i still go, hard to say no to the possibility of free somewhat-irreplaceable items, although 4+ years experience and a highly limited inventory have started to dictate the pieces I even bother with

read: "Would I seriously ever use that?"

[Eldelphia]

In the time we did dyna (almost 3 years) we had pieces never drop. I think we failed to get 2 Xarcabard pieces. Admittedly our shell predominantly did 1 night a week although for a while we did 2, farmiing cities for other crap. But even so... that's insane.

We had more people 6/6 on DRG than any other job.

[Varrin]

I have to say I agree with a lot of the sentiments here. Dynamis could do well with some tweaks to make it a bit more palatable for the average player. That said I do really enjoy Dynamis, mostly because of my friends and being able to help others get the gear they want.

I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that in over two and a half years of doing Dynamis twice a week, our shell has only seen a minor handful of certain Xarc and Glacier relic drop (1 Duelist's Chapeau, 2 Wyrm Armets, 2 Summoner's Horns*), but we see other pieces drop with annoying regularity (I'm looking at you Monster Gloves). Hopefully SE's changes to Dynamis will come quickly, because they really do look promising.

One thing that really does bother me though is that I worry that SE's random number generator is not particularly random. Has anyone else noticed that during runs there is a tendency for a certain few relic to drop? One extreme example would be a Jeuno where we had 7 RNG hats drop! It's definitely not out of the ordinary for 2-3 of the same piece to, and then that same thing happening to more than one piece in a run. This may go a long way to explaining why certain relics appear to be more or less biased to dropping, depending on how the game chooses the relic from the drop table.

* - 2 years with no drops then two drops within a month of each other.
