Go All to Pieces—The Mog Tablet Quest Unearthed! (05/07/2009)

[Kyten]

has potential to own, but also to fail

[Oblongs]

Can I try?

This can either be awesome, or not awesome.

Hey, that was awesome.

[miokomioko]

Man, that made me lol.


I really hope they leave these Kupower bonuses in permanently. Thanks to FoV and treasure caskets, there's people wandering around even the most obscure zones these days and how apathetic could one be to not hit a Moogle Tablet with enter if it's right there. These bonus will, no doubt, be in full force almost constantly.

Has so much potential to be garbage, of course that depends on how everything resets(IE: if at jp primetime every week or not), or if they make it so obnoxiously easy to cheat(Radar working). Wish it was done so that everyone could obtain the ring with some effort, not something obnoxious like they did here, but what can you do I suppose, yea for cheating?

[A-Chaos]

Was hoping one of the prizes was a passive exp buff to monsters in a zone, like +50% on all kills EM+. Kinda got excited when I hears "super kupowers."

Eh, 11 rings per event, and I'll never have one, that's my luck.


Also, I don't think this'll last but a month, maybe a month and a half tops.

Finally, I don't think anyone mentioned this, but I get kind of a "Willy Sundi and the Chocobo Factory" kinda vibe from this event. Hah!

I'm not sure if it was said, but it's probably going to work like "Lost and Found" Assault, in the sense that you have to step on the right spot to spawn the "???" and click on it.

App radar might not work on this thing, and it would explain why chocobo won't work.

I think it's not that chocobos won't work, just that you might miss the target popping in and out of existence because you went by too fast.

If it truly doesn't pop up in apradar until your character can normally see it, then you could always unlock it have it always show depopped mobs. Then, ride by as fast as possible, and if it does pop in and out of existence, it's dot will remain on ApRadar at the last position you saw it. So even if you can't see it from 50' away, you can at least ride around the zone and not worry about missing it.

[Virtuous Saint]

People speculate too much.

[Pikarya]

Besides, there are "other" third party programs currently out there that allow you to see beyond 50 yalms.

Either way, I do agree some people are pushing the speculation bit a little too far. But to each his own.

I really doubt they would go and screw this up with their next expansion coming up in the near future. Its kind of obvious this is supposed to be a rally move on SE's part for it.

[Shassira]

I don't get it. When did exp become so important? A kupothingy ring is 66k exp, what a big deal. People SMN burn endlessly every day in my server, they get that same amount in an hour or two. You'll cap merits that way really fast and draw any significance EXP might have in a couple days.

So, why is exp so important again? I personaly couldn't care less about this ring, I don't even use my emperor band completely every week, not to mention I still have anniversary ring charges.

The big deal of this endless event is the signet bonuses. How is that not awesome by itself?

As with the rest of people here, I do hope these aren't easily cheated because even though I won't be wasting my time roaming areas I already know, I would like fair people to get the rewards, not just the usual suspects.

I've seen this 33k/hour meriting brought up before in this thread, and I have to wonder: so what? People don't want this ring for SMN merit parties.

They want it for other jobs, and under 75. The people who want it the most are the ones who have a hard time xping efficiently, such as soloers like BLM or BST, or just jobs with low invite rates like PUP or DRG.

A quick blast from 2005?
I get asked all the time by randoms to come merit with my flag down, almost as often as my Rdm. From 35 you can level up to 75 on birds almost exclusively. I dont think any Drg struggles for invites these days tbh, its quite the opposite, but yeah I see what your trying to say regardless.

[Tomiko]

After thinking it over for a bit its not as bad as I first thought. Yeah it still sucks that only 11 can get a ring each week. The main things I don't like are as such:

-The Moogle in Jeuno tells how many have been found (known fact). Will he give out other info like what zones the tablets were found in? Can more than 1 tablet spawn in a given zone?

Super Kupowers will go into effect when all eleven tablets have been found, their magnificent moogle magic affecting nearly all (*see note below) known world areas. These beatific boons will endure for one week before the quest draws to a temporary close.
After a set period of time, the tablets will once more be scattered to the winds, and the quest will begin anew!

If I'm reading this right, the effects won't happen til all 11 are found (already assumed/known info). Then they'll last for 1 week before they disappear. Then from the last line it sounds like there might be a set amount of time after the effects wear before all 11 tablets get redistributed simultaneously.

That last part is nice (assuming its correct) since you won't have to know exactly when a tablet was picked up to guess when it will be up again. I'm also hoping the scattering will include a global message to players in all areas and not just ones in the listed areas.

[Max™]

It is permanent, this will always be in effect, and getting a doubled anni ring basically is more than enough to keep people hunting them enough to keep the buffs up for the ones who won't hunt.

This is a good thing, stop bitching, they could have put this in the Kupo expansion and charged you for it, the whole event seems more win than ACP was.

I never been in a Astral Burn, nor have i ever got over 17-20K without a PL in like East Ron_S
My other "mains" behind BLM is BLU and PUP. I want this ring.

[miokomioko]

I want this ring, but I'm not going to be sitting here at 8:00am PDT with red eyes, jittering from coffee just to flee around a zone amongst 2000 other people only to have a 1/3 chance of a tablet even existing in said zone. If that's what it comes to. If the ring is a one-time reward for each person, I'll patiently wait my turn while reading all the "FAIL" comments in this thread. If not, yikes, it truely will be win for the people willing to endure Kupofried's Aery every week.

I actually like ACP more than this due to the Augmented items. (Even though I keep getting stupid crafting materials/medicine)

[Lahina]

heh - just had a thought...

What if they gave us this so they can take it away with MKDeT? Or worse yet, only make the bonuses apply to people who've finished the questline...

It's been said countless times: The signet bonuses get applied to everyone, on the whole server, as lon g as they are within the designated areas. (Which also happens to be listed in the announcement. OMG!!!111~1!!!)

Seriously people, stop rehashing the same shit. Read the announcement.

How did you come up with that abbreviation? Etat is one word. MKdE is slightly more sensible but still really annoying to type.

Lets just settle this now. We'll call it MKD. Alert the internets!
