Asura had its first Level 9 Besieged just now...
...ended in less than 5 minutes (including Cutscene). I wasn't even able to engage in time. Not much of a problem, because the offered items are all garbage. The NPC to buy items seems to be bugged, it shows accolade numbers than make no sense. Thanks for testing. For a round of Bard songs, I got 52 accolades before the trolls warped. Means, I'll have to do 57 rounds of besieged to buy one piece of garbage that is supposed to make me stronger in besieged only, even though this is probably still soloable by a single BLU without said garbage. Where's my race change feature? Can we have the things that people actually want first? Just a thought. I mean, if you thought it would be anything more, you still haven't learned anything.
And if you still haven't learned anything after being taught the same lesson repeatedly, idk what to tell you.

Sneak/invis that stacks to 99 and RR3 scroll in ML era are both really cool, albeit extremely minor updates. But if the accolade per Beseiged rate is that low they are pretty cost prohibitive. I don't care for Beseiged much in the first place, and so far have no new reason to do it.
I'm all for implementing things slowly if that's what it takes to get new stuff added these days, but I need something to whet my appetite while I wait or I'll lose interest. Can someone who got more participation in report the amount you earned?
[+]
I got 100 accolades on 2 chars (and like 5.3k IS credits). Also on cost of items, I think the numbers next to the items are broken since they make no sense like others pointed out but I think it's a safe bet to assume they cost 3k each since that's the amount listed before you get to the nested menu (like all other IS items).
If we all grind hard maybe we can accumulated enough Evanessence so that we don't have to see, hear or smell galkas for a entire year!

It only hurts you, so you would only be apologizing to yourself. Pretty sure they said this will scale over time. They will add more items and harder waves of mobs.
Its not a new strategy, when segments first came out with Odyssey the only thing to buy was Lustreless items which was a complete waste of points, so I guess if you expect good stuff later on you will try to stockpile some points now. Compared to the cost of Domain Invasion weapons though, these do seem a bit high if they are aimed at people with poor gear.
They're definitely not that, you have to have finished assault.
That's not a new player thing. I don't know what the *** they were thinking. Or who these were for, but you couldn't miss the mark by more. Unless the first lieutenant category is bugged and incorrect (doesn't seem to be, says I'm insufficient rank) Am I understanding correctly that in order to charge a full dynamis run you will need to wait 60*5=300 hours +60 to fill your Normal hourglass? So 360 hours or 15 days to hypothetically do double dynamis?
Love how they gave the BLU sword a "occasionally increases critical hit DMG" while the dagger with a lot more jobs on it gets a straight 50% crit dmg increase.
The models are from the Perdu line of weapons which require Chief Sergeant or Second Lieutenant, so if you want to speculate on items in the future I'd start with the other stuff purchasable with IS.
It's very clear that they're going to drip-feed us the new stuff, and that there is going to be more. We're going to get at least an update to 119, or so they said.
It's also very likely that we'll get an emergency maintenance to fix the menus soonish. My only concern at this point is that SE doesn't pull funding/devs from XI and the content stays unfinished... I hope that I understood Fujito's plan properly and that it won't be the case. The main problem I see with this new "content", beyond the rate of gained points per run and items cost, is the availability of the content.
With stuff like Domain Invasion it was easy. They are very frequent and pretty much very "regular", predictable. With Besieged the frequency is random and way too scarce. How am I ever going to enjoy a content that happens once every new moon and that one time I'm offline or just started doing something else? This is a pretty big problem, if you ask me. Personally in the past, even when I cared for it, I stopped bothering for the Silver Voucher from besieged for the very same reason. Way too hard/annoying to even catch the event happening.

It's just another reason to give you to log in. Don't take it for more than it is.
It should have a hidden effect that when you take it, the background sound starts saying:
“im going undeeeeeeeer” “Drowning in yooooooooouuu”

Damn SE, Really going above and beyond for their long-time fans. You really have to give them credit. They could've just shut the game down, but here we are with them doing their best. In a world with billion-dollar companies, it's hard for an unknown indie studio like SE to compete. If SE was a billion-dollar company I bet they would never release content like this. You have to learn that SE is trying their kanye best.

Where do you get the items like RR3 and Evanescence? New Besieged currency?
Kinda wish it had reraise on it. I know that's asking a lot for a three-in-one prism powder/silent oil/deodorizer, but if you're going to call it Evanessence then I'm sorry but it is entirely reasonable for me to expect it to bring me to life.

There are some accessories that enhances Holy Waters, so it isn't happening. Also, Remedy removes silence, so putting Echo Drop and Remedy together would make zero difference.

It's gonna get ultra annoying if they add some super cool rewards for like 30000 points and you have no clear timeline on when you'd ever get that item because besieged is unpredictable. You're going to see Besieged "preparing" and fear missing it if it runs into your planned Sortie run or whatever (because they take forever to get to the damn city), then you might not catch one for days. People will do it at the start and then forget about keeping up with it in a month or two, and then when SE drops level 15 besieged with a new assault line armor set, people will rage at the slow rate of acquiring points.

Someone occasionally pays attention at least.
It's a year away but that's more or less how it will go.
