Yesterday, i got 500 plaudits talking to her... SE was quick to ruin our fun... They patched it overnight. What would have been nice is unlocking the option to buy multiple tier 1/2/3 with those plaudits instead of treating them like total hallmarks where they go to waste now and everyone is done with that event.

This is nice, I still have 8 mules born in 2004 that I haven't bothered unlocking ambuscade on! And yeah total plaudits jumping from 5m to 7.5m to 30m would definitely be cause for concern lol Asura.Eiryl said: » Beneficial to the player; instant fix Detrimental to the player; "we don't have any time or budget to allocate a fix, we'll get around to it when we can" Let us remember how many actual years it took for them to address and fix additional effect accuracy.. lmao

So only new characters cant get plaudits, but pre-existing ones can I assume? Anyone know if it matters if they are inactive currently and then made active?
Not today... I got mules since many years and i can't get plaudits talking to ambuscade NPC, via ROE. Yesterday, it worked well for other mules, but didn't have time to do them all.

Tried Halcyon Rod with Sabiki Rig and got a mix of Quus, Cone Calamary, and Bastore Sardines. No Yellow Globes. Took me 3 or 4 trips but got it done. Also turn off FastCS for the boat ride or it will last 7 seconds Tarutaru M rod and lugworms got me nothing but quus and sardines, I don't know if any of the other weirdly race/gender specific fishing rods will work the same but I imagine they would. Bonus, this setup is 100% obtainable on the boat itself, no prep needed. Shiva.Myamoto said: » So only new characters cant get plaudits, but pre-existing ones can I assume?

Had a pre-existing mule that hadn't unlocked ambuscade access. I was able to get plaudits after talking to ambuscade npc.

I just ran a lv1 mule that I've had forever to Mhaura and didnt get plaudits  I zoned, I talked to the Moogle, I logged out and back in. I also never unlocked ANY RoE on them prior to now. All my mules are 99 for aman trove

Today, maybe an hour or two ago.
Edit: Nope, logged in a char I haven't touched in months and still got them. Dunno but I literally went to Selbina to take the boat to Mhaura, realized I hadn't unlocked ROE, went to South Sandy to talk to npc. Then Selbina > boat > Mhaura > ambuscade npc > plaudits.
It's still pulling in 1.5 million every 6 hours so it's still handing them out easily, just not as easily.
That's still 4x-6x higher than it should be Asura.Eiryl said: » It's still pulling in 1.5 million every 6 hours so it's still handing them out easily, just not as easily. That's still 4x-6x higher than it should be Wouldn't say that it's necessarily from people remaking characters, could be people doing their first login since maintenance. We don't really know how many users log in daily vs every other day vs once a week, etc. You can't say for sure, but 2500 different characters logging in every 6 hours.... that already existed and just hadn't logged in yet.
Sounds, unlikely Well it's not 2500, it's 2500 - the normal output. XIAH sees 80k chars and we only saw 20k in the first 12 hours, so it's perfectly feasible that a lot of people aren't daily players.
No, 2500 every six hours is after the expected amount already
Expect 200k~300k points, get 1.5 million. 1.25(ish) extra million @ 500 per char ~2500 Still tough to say IMO, probably people logging on same account mules they didn't realize they could redeem still too. But, I'm sure someone will figure out what the requirement is and can judge based on that.
Yeah, my two mules didn't login until today. Both got plaudits.
Well that's .1% of 1 update. Need quite a few to have done the same.
Just really unlikely. 19:00 update a lot closer to normal only 400k (but its europe so thats still double normal) Carbuncle.Nynja said: » Valefor.Philemon said: » Had a pre-existing mule that hadn't unlocked ambuscade access.

I also never unlocked ANY RoE on them prior to now. Oddly same here, no plaudits: Mule is 10+ years old, got to mhaura, talked to npc. no plaudits. Weird. Is there something I am missing? I was able to run 8 reactivated mules to mhaura for 500 plaudits each after the emergency update.
They are all over a year old. They had not yet undertaken the Ambuscade RoE objective but they had all been through enough of the tutorial to unlock it and had joined Unities. None of them have subjobs or any meaningful progress in story missions. They had each been logging in during the free login campaign and for the first few days of vana'bout until the end of the free login. I don't discount the possibility that this is still bugged somehow and SE isn't being super clear about what the 'incorrect behavior' really means. Agrestic said: » and had joined Unities. Were you able to get them on your mule now? I tried on a lvl 1 mule that's more than a decade old, 1 day total playtime. Already started 1st RoE pre-vanabout. Flagged and completed ambu RoE, no plaudits. I'm trying to figure out how/what the requirements are, cause it sounds like some people are getting them on low lvl mules still, but also seems like it's more than just how long ago the char was created. |
