In matches I've been in Adders are usually 3rd if we're first or second. I mean we're all in the primal data center but still we see different matches.

As a loyal Malestrom officer since 1.x, this flood of new recruits is simultaneously understandable (after all, Malestrom is the best GC and we have the coolest vanity gear, to boot) and baffling (why the mass switching now, surely it's not just because everyone has a good friend in Malestrom that they wanted to PvP with instead of against?).

Maelstrom have better looking Allied Seal gear and seem to have the better PVP players.
Yeah, I remember people zerging NM all the times in FFXI... wat?
Even TP burns in later ToAU required more efforts and organizations than simpling showing up and pressing 1-2-3.
SE's words, not mine!
That's pretty badass.

Kagari, you are adorkable. XD
Twin Adders have won most of the matches I have done this past week. Teaming up with Ayerro, Tea Pan, and Mona leads to victories.
Ohhhhh boy

You can be adorkable too.

People has been asking for open world NM's since the beta, usually XI fans.
Heh, just saying is all. XD
Yes but I'm assuming that 25% is the baseline, ie, Defiance On but with no Wrath stacks. I'm just curious how much that additional 10% crit eats into that baseline damage loss.
IE: if it goes down to something like, 20% or whatnot, at full Wrath.
Oh, and there are more fight mechanics to XIV NM's than just zerging, these mechanics simply don't hold up when 200+ players show up to attack the same target.
A few have mechanics can can seemingly off-set zerg rushes. I regularly see bodies everywhere when Hellclaw is up for example, and the S-Rank in Mor Dhona has a mechanic that can keep it alive practically forever if people ignore it.

Happened to me once, I thought I could Holmgang my way through it. >_>
"Mien eyes! Ze Holmgang, it duz nothink!!"
Because, like it or not, FFXI did a lot of things right. Like giving ppl a reason to explore the world, keeping gears and content relevant for years, CoP missions and dungeons...
It's not FFXI fans fault Yoshi doesn't understand what made certain mechanics work in FFXI (Hint: you couldn't teleport everywhere in 5 seconds in FFXI for example).
You would need a muuuuuuuch bigger reward to make NM's worthwhile in XIV, if you had to run from zone to zone manually from each starting city.
I still insist that most the problems with XIV NM's is that the reward is too big for the amount of work being done, making it far more attractive an activity than anything else in the game. Balance out the reward a bit, so fewer players feel compelled to zerg NM's all-day every day, and the situation should improve a lot.
Granted, some of this will happen on its own, especially after they add Sands to CT2.

Twin Adder has the ugliest gear, worst color scheme to boot.
Yeah, balancing out the rewards would fix a lot of problems.
I want to know who on the development team thought the daily hunts were acceptable. The problem with their reward is immediately obvious. There is no reason or exucse they should have released in that manner. None whatsoever.
Just because it's emotionally convenient, I'm going to assume it's the same person that designed the Atma quest.
Agreed.
I'd believe it actually. It reeks of the same design issues. No regard for player skill or time invested, like most MMOs or even how FFXI did it. The worst part is they've let the issue run rampant with almost no attempt to fix it outside of the one emergency patch that increased HP. A few of my fellow Free Company members are obsessed with hunts to the point where they don't do anything else. I can't blame them, given how good the rewards are.
The colors aren't bad at least lol.
The armor is mostly unfortunate, but I like some of the hunt weaponry.
So you're saying we can expect you to be running around in it some day?
*edit*
Looked back at the Adder caster armor. I always thought it was green for some reason. I'm not even sure if I can disagree about the colors anymore.
I myself enjoy hunts, but I don't want to do them every night of every week. I'll be satisfied with one sand per week.

But they also have me, so it all balances out.
I'm not a caster, so no.

I think is a problem beyond whatever did XI right or wrong. The real problem is that, like it or not, XI and XIV are very different games, so shoehorning XI style content into XIV is gonna led to problems like this.
If ppl wnat XI features on XIV, they might as well search for other game to play. And the sooner YoshiP realises that, the sooner he can get the game back in the track.
Again, I don't think these Hunts can't work in this setting, they're quite fun once you're off peak hours. They just need to make them less attractive so zerging becomes a bit less common.
Or the sooner Yoshi remembers that BCNMs existed in XI and would work perfectly as Full Party Leves/Hests in XIV, he can make the adjustment. Because... there IS a full party guildhest in the game already! Ugh.
Did Yoshi play XI? It's somewhat baffling how many things could be carried over in XIV without turning into...what Hunts turned into. =)
It looks nice on females atleast so there's that
I guess, if you're into mudflaps and stuff.

Looking at how FATEs like Behemoth and Odin worked and how the Hunt system is currently turning out, I guess it's a good thing they never implemented those open world primals that Free Companies were supposed to compete against each other for... I remember thinking that was going to be a really cool feature.
