Please remove the level cap from very old quests

[Kyuichichi]

Please SE, can you remove the level cap from quests like Eco warriors and all escort quests so we can clear our quest log after 10 years? ;)

This is a good idea. Also removing the level cap symbol would help BSTs since it despawns our pets, which is annoying.

I also wouldn't mind the level cap for ENMs to be removed too. I was going to make some of the new pup attachments the other day, but have no idea how I can get any super cermet.

Its gonna be very unlikely the cap will be removed for Eco-Warrior. They already denied the request for making multiple eco-warrior quests to be possible as well as cancellation of the quest in the quest log and had stated the following for both after:


While I can see the inconvenience of having a quest you cannot complete from a completionist's perspective, having an open quest such as Eco-Warrior in the quest list adds no negative effects to game play.

Instead of adding a feature that would allow players to cancel Eco-Warrior quests, the development team would like to focus on adding in new content for players to enjoy as top priority.


Greetings,

We do understand that players are frustrated with the Eco-Warrior quests and how they currently operate, but as of now, we consider creating new content for players to enjoy as top priority.

After speaking with the development team to see if it’s possible to add a function that would enable players to activate all Eco-Warrior quests at once, their answer was that it would be more difficult to enable multiple Eco-Warrior quests to be active at one time rather than adding in a function to cancel the quests.

Since the Eco-Warrior quest is dated content in FFXI, it would require quite a bit of time and resources from both the development team and for QA checks. With that said, the development team would like to focus their efforts on adding new content for players to experience, rather than implementing adjustments to the Eco-Warrior quests.

We're pretty much gonna get the same response for the cap removal.

I have to wonder, is it even that difficult, programatically, to raise or remove a level cap?

They removed the caps from Chains of Promathia areas and missions. They removed it from City mission 2-3 and 5-1. They removed it from the somewhat obscure quest "Return to the Depths", which would be in the same position as Eco-Warrior if the cap weren't removed. Hell, if it's difficult to flat out remove the cap because of how it's programmed, they could just raise it high enough so that the actual combat is trivial. There are a bunch of fights out there which are level 99 capped. They're effectively uncapped and the cap just means buffs wear on entry.

i really don't understand it myself. but then again the reward for doing it isn't all that great anyways. i could get exp faster from 1 or 2 rounds of GoV pages ;3

We're currently looking into fixing various quests that have special conditions making it difficult to progress. We've added Eco Warrior to this list as well.

While we may not be able to answer all of the requests we receive, we will take them all into consideration, so if there are any others besides Eco-Warrior please let us know!

I guess this isn't that big of a deal, since posting people on my server have been going and getting super cermet and a few sold on ah, and I have made some coilers II and have been selling them. It just goes to show people love their pups

I just legit gasped.

I'd like garrison to get uncapped. Why? Because I've only ever done it once and I know I will never get to do it again if they don't remove the caps.

so you can get all those earrings with killer effects? i know i'd like them.

Yes, those would be a nice bonus but I just think it would be fun to solo them.

As much as I love doing events with my ls and friends, there is something very therapeutic about a nice solo adventure.

[Urthdigger]

Expeditionary Force would be a nice thing to have the cap removed on. As well as "The Big One" which was basically Tavnazia's escort-for-hire.

Eco-Warrior (all three)
The Big One
Pirate's Chart / Brigand's Chart fights
Garrison
Expeditionary Force
Gustaberg Tour (not quite a level cap issue, but rather, it's the fact that the quest can be permanently failed if your level is too high. You may also want to consider reducing the party member requirement to 4 members so it can be completed solo with a team of trusts)


And most of all... All By Myself. That quest is terrible!

Yes!
1)Empty Notorious Monster battles
2)Provide assignments from Couriers' Coalition always avaible

[Dragoy]

I probably wouldn't put “All By Myself” on top of the list, since I have completed that (although with a help of a second character I think it was). It's bad, though, yes, but not the worst in my opinion!

Still bad, yes.

I'm positively surprised that they're finally looking into the eco-types (thankies!), and positively hopeful for the other things mentioned as well! The pirate's/brigand's chart fights are also rather easy to duo, but they could be made better fer sure.


(Now if only they would remove the 401-limit on payments so I could actually play again...)

In the May 14 2015 update, they made this change:

Introduction to Teamwork / Intermediate Teamwork / Advanced Teamwork
The number of characters required to complete these quests has been reduced from six to two.

If they are able to change this, there's no question they can change the Eco-Warrior quest to remove the level cap on it, or at least increase it to 99 if it'll simplify things.

Also, I feel the older BCNM fights that have the level cap on them need to be removed as well. Lots (if not all) of these really old fights have no real valuable rewards left and I know there are people like myself who would like to try them just for the hell of it.

[Ladynamine]

I tried eco-warrior windurst w/ trusts on pld after the update....i assure you w/ the 25 cap and the ability to use trusts on there, its alot easier (at least on pld). not really any reason to remove the cap now.
