I am wondering what people feel about this new area and how it relates to experience point gain.

Also cerous about the Notorious monster system and the relation to moogle weapons.

If you don't like abyssea, you are bad and you should feel bad.

If Glavoid wasn't a massive douche bag I would have voted 'yes'.

Love abyssea in terms of exp point groups, but kinda on the fence about the whole NM pop system. In concept it seems like a decent system that has adapted from ZNM but is more "casual friendly" at least with initial T1 NM's since you can buy pop items from AH. However the connection to the Empyrean weapons is what throws it off along with the key item dropped from a popped NM and roaming NM's.

While I understand a decent challenge is needed to obtain the Empyrean weapons, x50 of a specified item in a zone that you have to pay to even have access to obtaining seems unfair. The "you can get a slightly less powerful weapon through WoE" is not a good alternative either, at least IMO. Also getting back to the pop requirements, while not all weaknesses have been figured out at this time for current NM's, you also have an issue with the items needed for upgrading in the fact that 3-4 weapons require the same item while a different item is required for only 2 weapons so you have more ppl clamoring for the one item than others. Just seems a bit unbalanced.

But all in all, Abyssea is a nice new addition as far as things to do and ways to lvl in Vana.
