Low End Content *Until* Endgame Content

[Linh]

“Voidwatch,” a new battle system designed with high-level adventurers in mind, will be introduced alongside new battlefields in order to reinvigorate existing areas.

What about new incentives for players to level in existing areas? Namely, low level adventurers.

EDIT: And by low level, I mean levels 1-74. That entire range.

It's not so much that incentives are needed, it's more the facts that the EXP is terrible and people are bored of it.

Campaign could use a massive revamp to make it a viable option from 60-75 again. Then we still have the problem of having a better way to level from 30-60, if people don't want to do Abyssea. Don't know how they're gonna deal with that one...

1-30 is not a problem at all at the moment because there is no other option and the content is actually quite good.

Yeah, I have to say I feel really left out by the whole game, I've been playing for a month, at level 61 now... but there is still very little I can do when it comes to the game's content. It would be awesome to have content that would help me level, especially since Abyssea has sucked most of the life out of the old zones.

You`re ready for campaign actually. If you`ve never done it before it can be quite a lot of fun and a nice change of pace. Totally up to you though, the main thing is EXP is now uncapped for you after 60 in campaign.

Also, don`t forget to do Campaign Ops in tandem (mostly smokescreen).

I swear, people won't be content until outside abyssea EXP is twenty times better and you get a gold sticker for leveling "the right way."

I am content with leeching in Abyssea then skilling up afterwards.

I just want to see new players in the game. Because the grinding aspect of the game BEFORE endgame is turning off new players. Basically the game isn't fun until endgame.

Garrison, Campaign, Assault, Besieged, BCNM/ENMs, Missions, etc are all activities you can do before you hit 75. I've only done a few Garrisons, but they are pretty fun and I do wish more people were into them. It is unlikely unless SE adds some OMG awesome item from them.

1 to 30 or so is fine the way it is, and I don`t usually say this but if you have a problem getting to 30, you`re doing it wrong. 30-75 is devoid of good, current content though, but everyone knows that.

Some people, probably yeah. Most people aren`t that daft though, you just see the extreme opinions on here. There is a valid point that many old areas for leveling from 30-75 are essentially graveyards though. Returning and new players seem to want more options in that regard, and I don`t blame them.

I have no problem with Abyssea - I just can't do it... and I know there "is" content - but I want content that advances my levels - BCNMs, garrison, etc. just takes me away from leveling - therefore increasing the length of time I am stuck mostly alone in the world outside of Abyssea.

Basically grinding all by yourself for a month or two till you hit cap is boring - campaign is a good suggestion except - wouldn't it be really difficult for me to do since no one really does it anymore? (Please correct me if I am wrong - but if I went out on the field by myself wouldn't I get my arse kicked?) And can you skill up during campaign? I was under the impression that you can't... again corrections would be welcome...

Back when I quit last time tons of people were doing campaign but I don't think people really do it anymore.

Don't you mean 1-30? ^^
