If you are using point defence , use at least two . One topside , one at the bottom . Or just ditch them altogether for more shield boosters . I ' d also upgrade the armor instead of using all that slots on HRPs . A collector limpet to quickly grab some of the more elusive materials that can be dropped is also very handy . <| sep |> Did the field have geofences built into it ? Or specific GPS coordinates it ran off of ? I would guess it didn ' t scan the landscape in real time . <| sep |> Because the monthly system doesn ' t work as a subscriber retention . Even I as a story player said for months that filling the few months inbetween story with group content even just 4 man content is a better idea than monthly chapter releases . Ten chapters ~ 10 hours of story every year is fine even from a story player point of view as myself . I don ' t necessarily want ops , seeing that I personally don ' t like them very much , but there is a need for content that can be run with a group of other people . That can be world bosses and Uprisings such as in 5 . 0 with varying difficulties , or a new operation . Them only releasing these 9 chapter expansions is stupid af . No , it ' s literally a very good idea . You get nine chapters of fully voiced story every year . In the meantime , Bioware can work on some PvP and PvE content . That is a better sub retention than a story chapter every month . That mechanic became dull two to three months in . Whether GC is a good mechanic to supplement that subscriber growth remains debatable , seeing that this game ' s community defies the FFXIVWoW standard and paradigm of gameplay , but that ' s a discussion for another day .
