How about having the boss drop a new token that can be exchanged for anything that can currently be rolled for on that floor? Exchange your loot token to get a gear token to get gear.

How about be bosses drop loot instead of tokens and if the thing you want drops you roll need on it.

I'm impressed that he made this post with how awful Diadem was at release. We'll see how the changes play, but let no one say that they're not willing to make a change.

It sounds like they don't want you just sitting on one island and camping forever which is good because that is exactly what people will do unless you discourage it, but it's also kind of not that fun.

Chyea posted:Now instead of staying in one place there will be a single roving deathsquad flying clockwise across the map Depends what the change is. From what they're saying, I think the change might be to the way that 9 groups can all get Tracks progress off of a single mob, and at that point it's definitely no longer most efficient to play as a single zergball.

People will always choose to actively not have fun if the unfun way is the fastest way. See: people farming what amounted to basement skeletons in Diablo 3 over and over and over because it was the fastest way to get exp. This is also why branching dungeons dont exist in most mmos nowadays.

Chyea posted:Now instead of staying in one place there will be a single roving deathsquad flying clockwise across the map I've got a sinking feeling reading that, especially the change to NM spawns, that their overall goal is to either lower or cap the number of NM gold chests you can pull out of a single diadem. I mean they say that they're not going to affect chest results, but they also say they're going to address the imbalance between effort and gear returns, and there's only two ways to do that. Either getting 210s is going to get a lot harder and slower, or you'll burn through what you can accomplish in a single diadem in like 30 minutes. Although frankly I guess that second one wouldn't be that terrible.

I'd really just like them to lower the damage threshold needed to secure credit, as it's way too high at the moment.

Lost in those hotfix notes is that they've updated the duty finder algorithm, hopefully meaning better queue times.

Last night I dreamed they added Doomtrain-Egi to Summoner as a Status Effect/Debuff pet. Most of the dream was reading awful "Thomas the Dank Egi" memes in this thread. I think I need to give FF14 a bit of a buffer zone before I go to sleep.

Scrublord Prime posted:It'd be nice if Alex used some sort of token system like the HW ex primals. I did A4 last week about a dozen times and came out with three springs and two gears but zero shafts and decided that was enough Manipulator and missed rolls to last a lifetime. Find goons who want/need to run it and get your drops without having to constantly roll against random people?

Alternatively, gradually gear up those dust-collecting alts with 185 dungeon gear - at least some of which you'll get effortlessly assuming you ever run expert roulette - instead of 190 Alex normal gear. They're stronger for the true endgame (read: the outfits look better), you're not actually going to use those jobs for anything important enough for 185 -> 190 to make a difference, you can save yourself the headache of Alex pugs (or goon runs  ), and any jobs you do care about should be in 200-210 gear by now between Eso, Void Ark, hunts, Alex Savage, and  Diadem.
