New Roadmap and FFXI's direction

[scaevola]

Sometimes I think people forget how limited and dumb endgame was before ToAU.


(Punchline is that after ToAU it immediately reverted to being limited and dumb)

Another q.q and i'm quiting thread. lol

See ya.

And your little SS was stupid, who really cares if you canceled your main or one of your dozens of mule accounts i'm sure you say you have. (Take Care.)

I liked Limbus, Salvage etc. Extensions of these where you can upgrade your gear to +1 versions is fine with me.

Know the crazy part?
I'd rather go back to Dragon's Aery than farm 1500 Heavy Plates. Much less 3000.

Is there something wrong with that? Would it be better for people to just quit and not tell anyone why, so that neither the playerbase nor the dev team knows what would be needed to bring them back? Because until these promised overhauls of FFXIV are finished, SE is really in no position to be indifferent to people leaving.

They aren't going to change the exclusive boxes system of Voidwatch, but they are going to both increase drop rates across the board, and make the fights less grueling (even cutting most voidwatch NMs' HP by 30% would be a huge improvement...).

Which will make the problem pretty much irrelevant, most likely.

We'll see how it goes.

However! The development team will be making adjustments in the future to reduce the overall length of each battle. In addition, when they add more chapters to the Voidwatch system, and introduce even stronger monsters, the drop rates for these tougher challenges will be increased beyond what is currently in place.

Doesn't actually say that the current content will see any increased drop rates. I also think that cutting the mob's HP by 30% just means less chance to proc the fights to full. A better fix would be to allow the mobs to be procced to full faster, so that the mob can be killed sooner. Of course, implementing both suggestions would be even better^^

Or the option to add treasure to the chest.

Or the option to add treasure to the chest.

Unfortunately, the Japanese are a proud people. They've said it won't happen, so to then introduce it would be to go back on their word, which would probably shame them and their family, or something.

I can't see it ever happening, much to my disappointment.

Only likely thing that might come out of this, is with enough people shouting for it to happen, the new 'dungeon crawler' event might actually implement this system. I do personally like the 'personal treasure chest' option, as it means that noone can ninja lot you or anything, but the lack of an option to add your loot to spoils if you don't want/already have it is just ridiculous.
