Hopefully FFXI devs read these posts. I wanted to make a list of update changes that Campaign desperately needs. I am pretty much the only player on the Lakshmi server still loving and participating in campaign to try and push to the north, but it is still very difficult to do it alone. I am definitely the only player that still tries to enlist freelancers.
-Please reduce the amount of influence needed to influence Freelancers to join your nation. It can take 2 - 3 hours of influencing a freelancer with no allegiance (who is far away from a zone) to join if he/she has 0 influence for your nation
-Please take out the requirement to zone for continuing to influence freelancers
-PLEASE ADD THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE BEASTMEN FREELANCERS
-Please add capacity points as a reward alongside the experience points
-Please allow AOE party-buffs to affect Allied Nation NPCs during campaign (bard songs, protectra, curaga, etc.)
-Possibly give a slight power boost to the allied nation NPCs
If anything I request here makes it sound like it'll be too easy for the allied nation to win, it won't. I've recruited every freelancer for my nation at one point and they still couldn't hold the northern bases without player support. The allied nations die so easily to the northern beastmen tribes also.
Adding capacity point rewards will give much more player support back to this content in my honest opinion, so I hope that's not too much of a request to make.
Please let me know if this is the incorrect place to request updates like these, thank you!
