New Roadmap and FFXI's direction

[wish12oz]

None of this crap looks fun at all, its been said there will never be changes to the voidwatch drop system, and the new guy in charge thinks 1500 iron plates is ok. So I'm quitting until such a time as the developers of FFXI go back to actually adding fun rewarding content. Whoever is in charge of FFXI right now should be fired.

They are trying to run FFXI into the ground atm, you won't be the last person to leave in disgust.

Maybe they realised they can't honestly make FFXIV better than FFXI so they are making FFXI worse instead. So sad when a company actually makes a game better for a couple of years then goes back to ruining it and driving away customers.

They are spreading themselves too thin making too many MMOs and making them all crappy in the process, FFXI has a large playerbase all paying full price MMO sub and this is the stuff we get.. lol.

i might be joining the bandwagon soon. All they pump out is filler and nothing actually for the reason FF use to be the powerhouse of the videogame world...... STORY LINE.

Maybe SE doesn't realize there are still better MMOs to play than XIV and making people quit XI will not have the desired effect they are hoping for.

I can think of a few off the top of my head that are entertaining enough to play to get me by until at least GW2 comes out.

Have they posted any details on Dungeon Crawling before? I have not seen them. High hopes that this is a fun event. Maybe with some element of randomness and some unique battle situations. Give me a reason to stay the course and build my Empys.

The only legitimate complaint I've seen is no story. Aside from that, this is a huge amount of content coming out. People don't even know what The Last stand or Dungeon crawling will be like, and they've already dismissed them. Nvm lvl 99, new merits/2 hours, New floors/chambers to Limbus, Nyzul, Einherjar (which were all very fun/rewarding events).

Why are people dismissing everything before we even know anything about it?

Dungeon crawling

Isn't that the exact words they used when they gave us MMM? >_>

I actually know lots of people that did MMM a lot. And it was always congested getting into those zones lol. But yeah yeah yeah =P We still don't actually know anything (not even the actual name of the event) about it before people dismissed it as not fun.

Not really. They made MMM's theme more of "Create your own dungeon!"

Game went from fun with abyssea to flat out borefest low droprate extravaganza of the past. I cancelled earlier in the week, I chased low drop rates from kings for 5+ years and you could throw salvage into the mix when that came out and want no parts in doing it again.

Sorry dev's, VW concept is average at best, the loot system/drop rates are terrible, the event is just one of those things that could of been cool if executed properly but you can take that system and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Voidwatch is fun the first few times you do it but when you actually want something from it then it becomes so frustrating, not fun, chore. I just love getting logs/ore with capped light spectrum, I mean come on, every player dreams of getting worthless loot for their time investment, right?

Absolute second rate content, the sad thing is SE will probably adjust it 10 months down the line when nobody cares to do it anymore.
