I'm holding out hope that they've at least increased the amount of tokens to 8 at the end of a instance.

Fister Roboto posted:The new crafted gear will probably be the same ilevel as Omega normal gear, so if that's true then you can ignore it entirely if you've got the cash. And you won't even have to worry about mixing and matching for accuracy this time either. I wish they said whether the crafted gear is showing up this patch or next one.

No new tombstones for another 2 weeks? Guess I don't need to do exdr for another two weeks then.

Captain Oblivious posted:I don't suppose you could get into the detailed logic of Bloodspiller useage, on this note? I'm fairly new to maining DRK so I'm unsure how much/when/if I should be focusing on DA+Bloodspillering. With Grit on you want to DA every Bloodspiller unless you are going to overflow on blood. Outside of Grit it doesn't really matter that much. Technically spending DA on Bloodspiller is more damage than other (non-Carve and Spit) skills due to a higher overall potency that gets multiplied by crits and party buffs but it's a pretty minor difference.

Pretty excited and also dreading the pvp exp changes, I had blm and red mage close to 65 and was getting fairly close to Goddess of Magic. Hope I'm not gonna be stuck suffering dps dungeon queues now to finish em

Oh man, I just discovered PvP in this game and now they're going to tone it down xpwise? Hopefully it will still be better than PotD because randos randomly wiping on floor *9 happens just far too often.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:And like most problems in this game it's solved by running it with 1-3 friends. I'm in DGKK and I play at almost all hours of the day. Been playing since the early access dropped. I still ended up having to solo queue for a fair amount of Stormblood dungeons and trials. Hell, a random stranger picked me up in his party once he looked at me and realized I was about to sit in an infinite queue for the second primal. What I'm saying is that "Just have people" is a stupid excuse for this bunk system that nobody particularly likes. There is tolerate and there's giving out. Nobody is hype over tokens.

I'm hoping that the exp change to pvp they're saying is the current value is the losers share because gently caress that poo poo if you think its worth it for less. It was good but the main reason for the boom in PVP was "it's not PotD." Just have to wait and see the numbers I guess but if I had to bet they are going to set it lower for 2nd and a pittance for 3rd, especially if you get slam dunked in 5-10 mins. This change does answer the question I had many pages back about why bother to win so there is that. lokipunk posted:Oh man, I just discovered PvP in this game and now they're going to tone it down xpwise? Hopefully it will still be better than PotD because randos randomly wiping on floor *9 happens just far too often. You can always do the floor 51-60 grind over and over and over. It's not fun, but with randoms it's the safest with the most dangerous thing being the one rear end in a top hat who insists on opening every chest and runs mimics around.

I cannot believe they haven't switched to trading in generic tokens you get 1 of per floor automatically each week. What the gently caress is the point of forcing people to almost assuredly have to do multiple runs of something in a week?

If someone uses a Pom of Alteration, I genuinely begin to hate them. If it makes a mimic room, I just run the other way and let them deal with it and if it's blocking the only way, I tell them I need to go potty and tab out for 2 minutes.

I'm probably just salty and don't trust them. For every group I get in potd that runs straight to the end I swear I get 5 that single pull every mob at floor 51. Wiped due to someone pulling 4 mimics on to us last week. How do you even find that many?

You might just have the worst luck in finding potd parties because while full clears are maddening, since coming back I've yet to run into a potd party that wasn't quietly trying to bumrush through as quickly as reasonably possible. So you have my condolences.

PVP was more popular because it's easier to not contribute in than in 4 man content. It was good fun votekicking 'base defenders' though

Annoyingly, I suspect that the queue lengths for shatter will go up now that you might be incentivized to try, but hopefully this is implemented as an overall buff to experience.

One of the problems, and it's the same everywhere, is once you've got your 310 set/s, there's no current reason to run expert roulette. It'll get a bit better as soon as the new tome goes in.

Asimo posted:The assumption is that it will keep people in the queue longer since they'll have to run the content over and over multiple times a week to get their drop. Which to be fair isn't really incorrect... but the problem is it inevitably results in a not insignificant number of people being unable to get their token because you can only run a finite number of attempts per week and some people are just unlucky. Yes, the main problem is that it doesn't account for time being finite. Unless someone is farming 24/7, or farms with the same people, you will inevitably end up with some folks who simply get RNG hosed in a given week. Granted this gear ultimately ends up getting supplanted by tome gear, but it remains frustrating, especially for folks who like to step into Savage modes day 1. Which may not be me, this time around, as I remain a homeless lalafell.
