What sucks is that you have to re-farm a Tribulen KI after EACH NM you kill. This forces you to either farm a lot of Slit beforehand in preparation for an evenings worth of Escha NM hunting, or you more or less have to disband and solo your 1000 Slit (since farming Slit as a group sucks).

A little more thought into this concept/process on SE's part would have been nice.
Thought? SE? Are we playing different games here?

Dev A: "Hey guys, we are making a new zone for endgame content, should we actually put appropriately leveled mobs in there?"

Dev B: "Nah, let's stuff more than half the zone with worthless, low level mobs instead."

Dev A: "Genius!!"

The zone actually offers a great deal to a new/returning player if they are 50+. its more a less a straight shot from entrance mobs to efts/dragons/bugards from 50-99. Great way to get back into the game or start working on a sub as well as farming silt.

thank heavens they're catering to the handful of people who came back rather than the people who have been giving them money from month to month!

They're almost 3 hours late, now.

Jesus Christ, you'd think they'd at least tell us something, even if it's "Hey, we F'd up, not sure when we'll fix it, have a nice day!"

The 2 players on Bismarck that shouted are playing on console and one hinted to PC users not being able to log on. Can anyone debunk that?

My husband is playing on xbox and I can't log on pc... I don't know if that helps but brb going to hit him with a brick and play on the xbox.

It is not a PC issue. I know of 6 people on game right now on PC.

NA players though?

No, they are EU players that are on PC's on the game. But there are other EU players in my shell that are PC users that cannot get on as well. NA is not the only place affected. EU is affected as well. People from UK, Scotland, France, Kuwait, etc all reporting having issues signing on as well among other places.

Yeah some form of communication from SE would be nice...
I remember in the past if there was an error after an (emergency) maintenance that there would be a very swift follow-up message.

Either the root of the problem hasn't been located yet or SE just doesn't care atm.

I'm hoping it's the first but...

So nice to know that the rest of us (Non-JP players) matter ever so much.

Now excuse me, I need a rag to wipe up the sarcasm that just dripped onto my keyboard.

man, wouldn't that be great? I wish there were zones in the game that had enemies of varying levels up to 99, preferably with Records of Eminence/Fields of Valor objectives that allowed you to get XP even faster!

Whats wrong with creating content that cuts out all the travel time to do that and still allows you to complete RoE quests, while rewarding Seals and Silts to use when you hit 99 to further gear yourself? Really don't understand the point you are trying to make.

The point is that as with so many other decisions they've made in recent years, this was an awful design decision. It makes the content less rewarding for veterans and lessens the value of old content for new players, which is a bad thing. Content should have a finite lifespan, yes, but in a span of years. Given that content updates are ending, they should be building upon what content is still relevant instead of giving players a fast lane into one final short-lived burst of content. FoV/GoV and RoE already do a more than adequate job of getting new players to 99 and into starter ilevel gear.

right....but silts don't drop from those.

Eft/Bugard/dragons/yeti all give decent exp/cp at 99, so whats wrong with having another area outside of adoulin for farming? There is content for a good amount of levels in this new zone.

edit: By levels I mean 99-119. cp/merit pts, unity mobs, new NM's, new gear/weapons, new augments.
