Since we already hit the bonus to get increased Ambuscade Points next month, do we know what next month's Ambu is going to be?

They have said they are keeping the same 24 V1 in a cycle and looking back through the forums I can't quite tell which one came after Yagudo last time. Looks like August 2023??

Today, all daily objectives are Ambuscade related. Queue went up to 60 in a matter of minutes.

Perhaps they should ask the janitor about game & event design, clearly SE doesnt know anything about it.

Is this true? That would mean Frogs in November, I'll have to move servers for this, I dont want to see queues of 300+...

Does it really make that much of a difference anymore? Already easily duoing VD this month I feel like most months can be done solo or duo now.

If you skip one, it stays for another day, from official website "If the daily objective has not been completed by the next daily assignment then it will remain active for one additional day before being replaced."

It is suppose to be a catch up mechanic, but in reality it overwrites the new objective of the day, so it is really a bad design imo.
If I don't complete it, it is more likely that I simply don't want to do it, but then I also wasted another objective from the next day, so when you decide not to do an objective, you are actually being punished by not getting a new one the next day.

I think it's time to do another occupy ambuscade and just take the full 30 minutes on 50 characters

This is *** silly, even getting 2 wins to get silver tier takes 5 hours

#Asuraproblems

I spend less than 1 minute waiting in queue, during the busiest times. Just did all 5 Vana'Bout dailies in < 5 minutes, this was the best day ever!

This is about the worst decision Square Enix has made with Final Fantasy XI. I've been playing this game since North American Release on PS2 so I hope it's not understated how long I've been around to say this.

I still cannot wrap my head around how the very theme of Vana'Bout was to complete various ROE's and if successful enough was to increase our Monthly Campaigns by X amount of time. So... Now we'll be rewarded 3 more days of Campaign yet you limited our Campaigns this month by 2 weeks... so we could get 3 days?

Maybe I'm not understanding something? Explain it to me like I'm 5 years old please if that's the case.

Another thing that is extremely upsetting is the fact the way you set this up; it's as if you don't even know your own game. Prime Example, the ROE that you need to take 75k Damage during any Ambuscade. You know where everyone's head immediately went? Go in on Very Easy SOLO and sit there and tank hits over and over without trusts to make sure you're continually taking damage and healing yourself. With this said, Vana'bout as now become a waiting game sitting in Mhaura waiting extremely long queues... It's not fun, at all.

Know what I'd love to be doing instead? OTHER MONTHLY CAMPAIGNS!

At this point, I never want to see Vana'bout again. In all fairness if there's another month where Vana'bout takes priority over monthly campaigns and we only get them for 6 days, I'll be unsubscribing that month. Hopefully I don't find something more entertaining that takes up my time and I go on hiatus again.

I still remember this conversation. My palm went through my brain trying to wrap my mind around it.
