They should have made killing it give/protect a boon like with Beseiged. Perhaps allow everyone on the server to collect more for their daily tally until JP midnight?
***like this makes me glad I play on 75 cap servers most of the time. WTF, SE...

New Dragon-Mireu
What's the solution? it didn't need a solution, there was no problem to begin with.
Beads weren't a problem. Rewards weren't a problem. Grind/boredom wasn't a problem. Cap wasn't a problem. (it was just bitching because bitching) By "fixing" a non-existant problem, NOW there's a problem.

Fenrir.Novell said: » But did you see those awesome Gear upgrades if you DONT choose Siren as the reward? -_-; The 10000 bayld? A daily cap is still definitely a problem, this is just a bigger one. They reduced the time it takes per day with the respawns which is nice, but they’re still making you go daily instead of allowing flexibility of schedule which is awful tactics.
Daily cap sucks, but it has a reason.
New dragon sucks, and has no reason. If they wanted to make a cute new battle, it didn't have to interfere with an already functional idea.

Gonna double because this is a separate thought:
IF the plan is to increase the value of vorseals (Triple? Quadruple?) or something really good bonus wise for based on "kill streak" THEN a "combo breaker" is justified. But as it stands, it serves no purpose. A mystic hint about "kill streak is good" ain't good enough. WHY is it good? What makes it good enough to justify the full stop. Is it literally just bragging rights? who gives a ***? Sounds like Twinkling Treants, but with 30 minutes to kill instead of a week.
The only problem with dragon is the lack of reward.
The rest is fine. Its good to have something with higher dps check as we have been getting many gears without a matching challenge. Plus its clear that SE will introduce new rewards soon.

Its good to have something with higher dps check as we have been getting many gears without a matching challenge. Plus its clear that SE will introduce new rewards soon. It has been their tactics for some time already: release half assed content, receive feedback, do some adjustment, find a sweet point of complains and commitment, do campaigns, do nerf, do new event.
BTW, so Asura killed Mireu once? And got nothing in the end?

I sincerely hope they aren’t planning on adding even more rewards to this... doing this daily forever until you quit sounds awful.
Shiva.Xelltrix said: » I sincerely hope they aren’t planning on adding even more rewards to this... doing this daily forever until you quit sounds awful. lololololololololol, that's what daily's ARE. That is their sole purpose. When you stop going, they'll add detretus, or heroism crystals, or heavy metal, or alex etcetcetc to the loot list. Or items used in empyrean+3 (not the main item, but an item) Totally fine with it just being money rewards.
Caerda said: » Honestly now only reason is for the Wyrm Ash if you cap out on gear. No reason at all to do more than the 80 points daily since Oseem augment stones no longer drop from them. Just to comment on this, that was a real stupid/*** move. They should've left drops on the dragons. (including stones) Like, ONLY random drops from a mob, suck, you could go 1000 times and never get sanctity necklace Or, you can now go for 2 days and get sanctity necklace 100% BUT, both is the best. This is always what I advocate for. You can keep trying to get the drop, and if you don't get it by the time you earn the points, you can buy it with points. And if you DO get it, the points go toward the next goal. I wonder how the next DI campaign will go? Will they stop doing it because dragons no longer drop items? And... I would really like them to add lesser warder drops on Zurim, that would be very nice.

I miss being able to spam DI for stones. Farm up your beads for an Aeonic and also get a nice stack of stones to spend on my massive gambling addiction.

How does that affect Domain Invasion campaign, with stones not dropping anymore?
Well, this sap sucker pop'd on Quetz. RIP Chain cause if Phoenix needed 117+ people, 15 sure isn't gonna do it. This is absolute screw to low pop servers. Not sure what SE was thinking here but this is excessive... I just wanna get my 80 points and be done with DI....
Edit: timeout @ 97%, plus with Ochain/Repriseal, it's like my shield wasn't even there. Not sure what was going on there

Go say something about it! "excessive" hits the nail squarely on the head.

(including stones) Honestly I welcomed it in the case of stones, don't have to compete with dragon bots any more. What competition are you in with DI bots exactly? It's a net negative to remove the stones. You gain nothing and lose everything.
I've gained a whole bunch and lost nothing, but YMMV.
