I didn't forget about you guys! I’ve been discussing all of your concerns and comments with the team regarding the Voidwatch drop system, and it has taken some time to reach a final conclusion. It was decided that there will not be any fundamental changes to the drop system to make it possible to add item drops to the treasure pool, as the team does not believe this is not where the main crux of the problem lies. However! The development team will be making adjustments in the future to reduce the overall length of each battle. In addition, when they add more chapters to the Voidwatch system, and introduce even stronger monsters, the drop rates for these tougher challenges will be increased beyond what is currently in place.

More voidwatch.........

Should I just quit now and save myself some money?

Fine as it is.

Voidwatch be the future, Abyssea be the past.

That's a stupid fix.

Yes, Voidwatch is fun

It's fun to a point, but as main content? I'm getting bored already.

I hated abyssea too :D

1 Year ago: Abyssea Only, Now: Voidwatch Only.. bored. they should focus to add more things.. not just VOIDWATCH..

Terrible

They are... have you been living under a rock? TOAU adjustments are coming at some point and Neo Nyzul etc. They are updating the game very slowly because of FFXIV.

lol... i may jump ship to ff14 sooner than expected :(

They also are currently hiring battle planners, I think to help put these updates out faster.

The longer it takes the more people willing to move on :(

Making some of the fights shorter might be nice. I know sometimes the group I'm with, if we don't have the ideal setup or numbers, we're fighting time more than anything else.

Need to hurry that stuff up (ToAU adjustments) because voidwatch gets boring after you kill each NM once....been bored of it for 2 weeks now

Well to add more aspects to a tier of endgame, there has to be some stagnation; at 75, we had many events to choose from but limitations on when we could do them, so it was harder to get burned out. I'm sure we'll see more variety at 99. For now, you've got Dynamis and Voidwatch.

The drop rates aren't too bad; the system is set up so that repetition of a VW NM isn't tedious, as long as you get something to make you feel as if you haven't wasted your time, i.e. Heavy Metal or Silver Mirrors. The proc system puts a lot of variety into participation, so that it isn't events of level 75, where you clock in, put in 4 hours, clock out.

They're very exciting and if everyone can keep their attention focused, everyone can get what they want. The Jeuno and Zilart paths also have those nice incentives of new BLM spells if you've already gotten the main Rare/EX drop or whatever.

Where the game is now is good, I believe:

Solo-capable/small group casual event: Walk of Echoes / Dynamis
Low-man familiar event: Abyssea
Full alliance focus super happy fun time event: Voidwatch

New content with storyline, new zones, new jobs...

Can we have it?

They said no at least till the end of 2012. Which is a very long time to wait for another "lolnope".

I must say I'm not that keen on a new Nyzul Isle - Abyssea edition, Salvage - Abyssea edition and so on.. lets be honest that's exactly what they do to these zones..

Knowing them a weakness system where your two hour has a chance to trigger, fun!

They were always turtle slow updating the game Draylo, not because of FFXIV. They are turtle slow on that one as well. SE classic.

@Seachan;

A 10th anniversary large game content announcement would be great. End of 2012 is very long time indeed. Well VW, WoE, some Abyssea and boredom until then.

"the drop rates for these tougher challenges will be increased beyond what is currently in place."

EVEN MORE LOGS!? GOGO LOGWATCH!

I can deny it all I want,but I know there is gonna be a neo-dyna style salvage update,which I'll love and hate .Yay more alex,which is what I want,but I despise procing so much (abyssea,dyna and VW) already.And they better not un-instance it

I look forward to the new Nyzul floors. ToAU endgame is the most fun of them all.

ToAU was arduous and dumb. Let's do 50 arbitrary missions that are half difficult, and have a 1% drop that's kind of mediocre. Oh, and you only get 1 tag per day.

You'd prefer to be one of those people that'd do it all in the day of release and then sit around on BG/jeuno/WG "zomg i've nothing to do!!!"?

1% drop rate. 1 tag per day.

1% drop rate. 1 tag per day.

My point was you seem to be complaining that you get 1 tag a day.
So I was saying instead of SE forcing you to pace yourself,you'd rather do it all in one day after release and then have nothing to do and QQ?

ToAU was a time-sink, much more than anything before it. And no, I don't QQ, sorry.

Bot wars please.
