Will there be additional Abyssea type zones?

Well, depending on how good the augments turn out to be for the gear, im sure it will renew peoples interest in it.

Im not apposed to things outside abyssea, or things using different strats. But im not going to kid myself into thinking it was all that much different in the 75 cap world.

The difference is new players can get involved in it without filling out application forms to join an LS. The difference is people can help others without wasting their own time. The difference is casual players can get decent gear in a reasonable amount of time.

All those things are awesome.

I'm confused... You don't like to see different designs on specific jobs on AF3+4 or AF3+3?
I think it be kinda neat to have a stronger Looking AF3+3 or AF3+4 to make your character not only feel stronger but looks stronger as well.

Upgrading is fun but seeing the changes on designs as you upgrade for stats just adds flavor in my opinion.

It probably takes a lot of resources to make 100 new models for every piece of already existing AF3 gear. I mean you have to think of what it would take in the Dev.'s eyes. Although if the relic/mythic/empyrean weapons alone got 'graphically' enhanced along with stats would worthwhile, considering all the time players put into relics/mythics/ and to a lesser extent empyreans.

I agree with this. Visually interesting armor really makes a difference. It's important in an MMO.

I'd be willing for them to take longer to release the Lv99 cap, if it meant more quality looking armor/weapons. I'm sure other people would be willing to wait longer as well, I don't see the point in rushing things.

Its not our job to go to the technical side of SE's dev team's recourses in what they can or cannot do.
It is our job, as gamers, to know what we want and do not want. Adding flavor is what we all want in a gameplay and contents. It is SE's job to provide us, not only good content for all of us to enjoy and have access to, but to put flavor to make them look and feel good.

Another words, Dont limit your wants from a game you are paying monthly for based on SE's technical problems that they may or may not have. Let your wants and imagination run whiled and let SE deal with the tech issue.

If you are concern of the dev recourses then don't be.
Cause its not our problem, its SE's.
All we need to do is let our voices be heard for what we expect and want from a game.

=)

Dont forget, You are NOT making the game, They are.
You are just playing it.
We are the customers, and SE's job is to keep us happy with w/e we want or expect from a game we pay for.

So you are the director now I see

InB4 can I get new colors for my wyvern.....

Please more of abyssea type content that cater to casual gamers, small party and solo type gameplay. There is no need to go back to the way it was, the old style is absurd, and way too grindy. The new contents are beyond amazing, a lot more fun to play and highly enjoyable!!

Nyzul, assault, salvage were the best events in the game imo. Salvage could have used a little better drop rate.

I really miss needing 12+ people to farm and pop things too.

12+ people to farm pop items? Hell no.
12+ people to kill a hard NM? sure why not!

As long as they give all sorts of players access to enjoy the content, I'm good.

Nyzul and Assaults are my favorite events but only thing that killed it for me was the "Tag ID per RL day".
The time sink just turned me off. Thats why I haven't reached captain yet lol.

I done salvage but I dont even remember it much so I got no opinions for it.
But in my opinion, I prefer doing heavy contents with 1-6 players.
idk thats just me tho/

Except almost everything since 2006 was low man able (salvage, limbus, assault, znm, vnm, nyzul,MMM)
Except abyssea is nothing but a giant grind (75 dragua scale is for casual gamers guys)
Except abyssea is a giant dragon's aery where any ??? or NM is subjet to be you vs the other for poping the it or claiming it.

Please no more abyssea. Time limited zone and/or instance content. Mix current dynamis and salvage.

Please, please, please, please let the next expansion be a real, full on expansion with new zones and mobs, complete story lines with characters you either love or hate, and playable content. You can and have had both before.

Abyssea only has the latter, but no fully developed, story-driven motivation to run around collecting area specific key items and easy to get trinkets that anyone can get.

I've picked up WotG missions again with a friend, and I've had more fun with it than I have a year plus of Abyssea. The cutscenes are exciting, I'm invested in the characters, and the battles actually mean something. I'd take beating this or something like it once over spamming some helpless NMs with 17 other people, anyday. I'd like for this to be an RPG again, not what it is now.

I like what it is now but I want what you pretty much just said.
They should make NExt expansion pack like WotG but where once you complete the whole storyline, then you get access to abyssea "Like" contents to further develop characters etc.

Only thing abyssea is good for mainly is character development, and fun, exciting NMs and brews and atmas, But over all, your right, it is missing a lot of motivation for the story.

I think the story/adventure/new mobs should come 1st before getting access to more character development contents like abyssea in my opinion. Give us a kick ass storyline to enjoy while taking our time progressing to the later contents to help make our characters stronger and take bigger NMs.
