Gildrein Community Rep	[dev1043] Chocobo Racing Adjustments The waiting period between race entries will be lowered from 24 hours to 20 hours.

A little more chocobo time for nini :x

/clap? is a 4 hour reduction even remotely significant to chocobo racing? seems pretty lame, like "limbus reentry will now be lowered from 72 hours to 70 hours!", unless i'm missing something.

lol, exactly what I thought

All I can see is that it will allow you to do it everyday, instead if its a 24 hour timer it keeps getting pushed back little by little.

If you don't do it everyday then it wont change anything for you. If you do then 4 hours can help a lot in the long run.

Depends on the player if its any good or not.

Another underwhelming development note from SE.
/sigh

people actually chocobo race...on a regular basis?

They just need to cave and add new HNM already, abyssea and VW are zzzzzzzzzz.

pretty much the reason i havent been playing lately... im just bored...

Ahahahahahahah.

Seriously?

Laughing like for real.

inb4 all you do at HNM's is afk


:X


I liked it, but didn't like waiting unless I had something I wanted/needed to do between windows then HNM was the best /o/

late nights sucked, don't miss those.

And hanging around 14+ hours wasn't?

Serious HNM campers always post in the chocobo circuit update threads.

Too funny, loved how you said that

They have to have something to do during windows

you can still camp timmy/khim/cerb and look for sw/di all day, nothing will force you to do abyssea/magian content, just because you dont like "todays snooze fest of a game" doesnt mean you have the go with the new content

Except you know, the gear back then was considered to be, oh, I don't know, relevant?

If there's no longer any reason to camp them, then what's the point other than just camping them for the sake of a misguided attempt to inject fun into a game whose content bores you.

All relevant/good gear comes from Abyssea, voidwatch, and eventually new dynamis relic armor trials. I don't think we're specifically making a point of only introducing HNM and its end all be all means of acquiring endgame gear at 99, so much as it is a speaking out against a lack of variety in current content, and that HNMs worked for some people way back when, and they feel that more of that could be considered the solution.

But I digress, this thread is about like, chocobos, or something, hell if I know.

Until they let you actually ride the chocobo in a race I'm not interested.

I'm glad they're wasting time continuing to develop unused, useless events.

Just because you don't do something doesn't mean its useless. Its something that makes some peoples game better that wasn't there yesterday.

Man I still love the chocobo raising/racing. Way more fun than Magian trials thats for sure. I raced that bird every goddamn day ._. For the few people who do race their birds a lot this is kinda cool cause as Kalilla said you kept getting pushed back day by day.

Its a nice little nod to a small section of the player base who really like things like this. More to the game than gear folks. Also I'm sure such a minor adjustment is not taking away from their time spent planning new HNMs and whatnot.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd no one cares lol

This. When I used to do the Crystal Stakes every day It would have helped but not been big or anything.


Free runs daily while drinking morning coffee and reading mail and news. CS runs ... 1 - 3 times a week anymore.


Somewhere I am sure someone does. He is probably Japanese or Korean.

Nothing made me feel better then outclaiming gimps that QQ every time they lost claim. Or jacking there DV bc we didn't like them when they only claimed 1 or 2x a month.

This ^

It would be cool if they made it like FF7s+Mario kart

our 12.95 hard at work.
