Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

I mean, I agree with your post, except this! Why the WotG hate?? It's my favourite story of the lot!



I think World Tree == PlayOnline Viewer XD

Just trying to be practical, nothing wrong with WotG per se, but it'd still take development time to port over, and losing it would be minimal, aside from the mission story arc, and the needed adjustments to the DNC and SCH job quests, so that they don't involve the past zones to complete. and adding Fort Karugo-Narugo, Grauberg and Vunkerl Inlet to their respective present zones. (Then again I just realized I didn't take into account that Walk of Echos is strictly a past zone event, and is used to upgrade Empyrean weapons, so there's that, but you could work around that with the other confluxes in Present Vana'Diel)

WotG is my 2nd favorite Mission Story Arc behind Chains of Promathia.

Past versions of existing zones might have been seen by some as a cop-out, and I understand that. But I think that the expansion probably wouldn't have really worked without them- The new areas were supposed to be in the same parts of the game world, so some of the existing areas were kind of necessary to link them. But this is also why time travel is so problematic.

I love WotG as it is. I always did. We all knew it was a cop out expansion because they were throwing everybody on 14, but it was still an expansion that worked, and it was so cool to see. There's design decisions they made that I have a strong dislike for but overall I still enjoy going to those zones. I truly despise SE for their behavior towards XI. I know all the lands from the lore. Lands we'll never get to see. Even Everquest enjoys new expansions to this day. What a waste by a cheap company. But I know I'm well beyond the broken record stage on this issue, so it's probably the last time I ever bring it up. I'm serious. 99%. I'm done with the subject and I hope some day a third party can find the talent to make it happen after live servers go down for good. We already have to do everything else for ourselves. May as well finish the game ourselves, too.

Oh, another perhaps more realistic suggestion.

Is it possible to make the exp campaign bonus permanent? It just feels deflating to exp after the campaign is over. If the goal is to get more ppl playing for that period, perhaps keeping this event live all year til the end of XI service, which will keep more people playing.
(Feel like I already said this.....but 295 pages.......hard to keep up with what I say, because most of it is the BS anyway)

idk exp is still pretty dang fast compared to the olden days even without the campaign. If they made it permanent what would they do for comeback campaigns to make them exciting/enticing?

Frankly I just want the campaign to start applying to exemplar points since that grind is actually worse than the original grind back in the day.

I agree, a person can level up pretty quick now vs the old days. I could imagine a nice happy medium in the future if the company has the courage to either remake the game on UE5 or what engine or make a sequel, that solo xp is very much doable but will be more grindy than say partying with people and certain mob stats are adjusted slightly based on how many players are in the party and give more xp based on number of party members. I think it would be a good incentive to party to level up faster but also add abit of a challenge at the same time.

Quality of Life improvements I'd like to see:

1) Job points Exchange - We can finally shift job points gained on one job to another that needs it, eg. BLM 500 job pts over to SMN, that actually needs it.
2) Movement speed - General increase for everyone by 10-15% so we can all move about quicker.
3) Synthesis cap - Release the cap on general synthesis so we can get them all up to 100+, instead of up/down shifting.
4) Seals NPC in Aoudlin - Can the Seals NPC be outside Western Aoudlin Moghouse? replacing the NPC that looks like one opposite Eternal Flame.

5) New Higher-tier battlefield - Clash on the Big Bridge: The almighty Gilgamesh with his trusty dog companion can be a fight in Reisenjima (not at the mothercrystal but on the path, as in during The Voracious Resurgence missions). Trusts allowed & certain gear can be obtained. Could be a Shadow Gilgamesh (FFXI Norg version) first then turns into the Almighty Gilgamesh in some weird dimensional shift as a 2-part battle or Norg Gilgamesh comes alongside to fight alongside me as part of a mini-quest. Abyssea Gilgamesh lets us know about the Almighty Gilgamesh running about in our world.

Super useful post 100%.

Maybe you should explain what exactly is broken and why you can't RNG.

This is why nobody likes you, mister sarcasm.
