Might not even need Overdrive depending on your attachments.

mishmash of attachments and whatever gear I had around, it was a joke without 2hr Obviously not much help if you're trying to go solo, but if you can find a duo or even trio partner for this, you shouldnt need much fine tuning to clear it. I have to say this time feels like a distinct downgrade from round 3. This time it seems like the objectives that change daily are designed to make it as difficult as possible to keep people on the same page. Hope for round 4 they get rid of this crap where an uncleared objective get held for an extra day. It pretty much means that if you get a lemon you can’t clear you lose 2 days worth of 20-30 points rather than just one

Its designed that way on purpose.
They framed it as giving you 2 days to get it done, but did it so that you get punished for it. If you skip one, you get double punished. It would've been simple enough to make it function properly. It could check/roll every 6 hours instead of 24, or there could be an "i dont want to do this, skip it" option, but then there would be no psychological detriment.

Blind and oblivious... exactly the target audience.

One voice doesn't mean a bloody thing, it's going to take many players telling them this isn't cool before the forum intern will even consider taking the time to translate it to pass on to the dev team. Never assign to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
Doubt they ever thought much about people being on the same ROE. They rotate if you do them and don't if you don't. Rest is the randomness of the spaghetti code throwing up straight 9s, as it does.

It's difficult to make the case that we don't enjoy content, when so many people are doing it daily. Too many people with nothing else better to do?

The vast majority of the objectives are exactly the same. None of them are particularly difficult, unless you happen to have trouble wrangling up two other players for some of the instance fights. Everything is soloable combat-wise. Unless your goal is that silly title, missing out on 20-30 plaudits per day is not a big deal nor will it prevent gaining access to the Gold 1300+ tier.

Chocobo Digging is definitely getting moved to the skip pile.

Not sure how, but I lost my lv 60 pup solo attachment set. Anyone know what I should be wearing for the bcnms?
probably similar to here:

But how?? I was told VanaBout 2 was a success only because everyone was simping for CornyFace and because SE handed out 500 pts to everyones mule, VanaBout 3 would be an epic fail without either of these.
It might start slowing down though, people should be reaching their 1300's by tomorrow. Carbuncle.Nynja said: » But how??

Just because there's plenty of miserable people like me, doesnt mean that enough people hate it. I wouldn't be surprised if japanese players celeberate everything about this. There are plenty of people in my linkshell who also seem to enjoy this *cough* garbage. There, i said it again :) I tried doing the I'm on a Boat goal last night. Took my 3 chars on the boat and started fishing. 2 Chars are 110 with Ebisu and the 3rd has never equiped a fishing rod.
The 2 with Ebisu are around 15/30 Bastore Sardines after 3 boat rides. The one with 0 skill is 30/30 in less than 1 boat ride. This game is so awesome. Have you tried using a crappier rod? Being higher level skews you towards higher level fish like cone calamary and even quus.

Already at 90%. It's clear that rewards have no bearing on whether this stuff gets done and boycott just makes you miss out on personal rewards. Looks like they figured out where to tune the numbers after the first 2.

I was using Lu Shang's Rod +1 with absolutely woeful catch rates, I switched over to a Mithran Fishing Rod and they started biting a bit more frequently. This was also with using a Sabiki Rig as bait. Managed to get 3 of my other characters done in 1 boat ride across they also had 0 skill in fishing. Phoenix.Iocus said: » Already at 90%.

Fireball/Tail Blow/Brain Crush is absolutely busted at that level. I swear if BST could have been trapped in any era of FFXI and been the golden boy of the game, 60 cap would have been it

Yeah actually i wouldn’t mind having that title assuming they give it out this round and I was around for both round 1 and 2 to know the quirks of how the objectives roll over. I don’t know where you get this idea “Everything is Soloable Combat-wise”. It is irrelevant if it’s technically soloable on some obscure job setup if you need 3 people to enter and nobody is interested in joining because they have a different objective. Also having an objective objective tied to time gated content is idiotic as it is literally impossible for a new player to enter odyssey to complete the objective tied to it. You can just sneak/invis to the end of A
It should count it regardless of your ability to actually clear it. Not certain, cause I'm not going to do it, but it should. Every level capped content is cleared solo by naked pet jobs more or less. Everyone should already have a viable bst or pup for those glorious kraken clubs! The ones that need 3 bodies, no way around teaming up. Lakshmi.Buukki said: » I had a blast playing BST for some of those instanced fights capped at level 60 w/ Cold Blooded Como Lizard.

I believe only Heroine's Holdfast and Swarm require 3 players (correct me if I'm wrong) and are so braindead easy that two players need only zone into Rolanberry (S)/Alzadaal and afk.

Can confirm you can just run to the end of A without killing a single mob, touch the exit, and you get the objective clear.
