Campaign Battle Suggestions

[MisterClaws]

I love campaign battle. I have earned nearly 1,000,000 allied notes. I have the following two suggestions I hope you may consider:

1: Registering for a union: Do NOT ask if one wants to register for a union simply go to the union select menu. Since there is an option to abort union selection there as well the additional prompt for cancelation is unnecessary, annoying, and frankly, dangerous! Very often it is very dangerous by the NPC and any delay in selecting options puts the player at great risk. Eliminating the extra, unnecessary prompt will streamline gameplay.

2: Allow skillups in Campaign. Abbyssea suffers from too much success and has drawn too many players away from other areas. If skillups were possible in Campaign it would draw people back into it and help redistribute players more evenly throughout the game.

Thank you for Listening,
Mister Claws

I fully agree with both of these suggestions. I'd also like to add that I think the EXP reward should be raised to match the amounts now gained elsewhere in the game.

I totally agree with all of this... I have died countless of times because I was in 1 menu too many, and aggroed a Quadav or Orc mob... I do also wish that there was a better incentive in doing Campaign battles... I can't tell you how many times I fight and kill mobs only to have a ladybug wing or a cheap log as a reward... Not only that, but I've been in Campaign battles in where I spent hours whacking a building wall, with no mobs assaulting or anything, and once the battle eneded, I got very minimal exp and Allied Notes... So disappointing for all of that time spent...

i like the ideas from Misterclaw too and doing a lot Campaign too sometime i only play FFXI for campaign XD
i would like to add some other Ideas !

1. a lot people dont play Campaign anymore Abyssea is the new way to leech lowlvl jobs thats why 7 Campaign Credits arnt enough anymore people which hold a Medal of Altana should be able to keep spaming OP's as a reward for all the work to get the Final Medal

2. cant we get something like the Confrontation status while geting a Allied Tag ?
i get a lot aggro while resting or additional mobs aggro with a Campaign based mob this shouldn happen

3. a extra function which allow people to instant join a battle & union if you get in a battle area would be nice too i spend a lot hours only for geting the Allied tag because the NPC isn always close to me

4. is it just me or i'm wrong ?
the beastmen have Shadowlord as a Additional Support Army but where is Jeuno? sometime Windurst or Bastok geting pretty hard ownd and there is no help for them and from what i know the "Allied Force of Altana" isn limited to the 3 Nations San 'Oria, Bastok and Windurst !

5. i have a lot Allied Notes and almost each set which was or is still useable for me what should i do with them now ?
could we get more reward choices for them ? maybe ancient currency?

6. another problem is the Campaign "Funding" for no reason it seems like the hardest skill to upgrage for any town unless you had 3.000 people spamming OPs or doing campaign could SE maybe explain it with more details how to exactly increase the skill ?

7. sometime people ar Holding Campaign Mobs far away to make sure the get some decent points while other players ar waiting to join the next battle is there a way Campaign Mobs ar like Imps losing hate on them quickly and the run back to the Fortication ?

> or make sure everyone who does a Campaign Battle can Widescan Campaign Monster to save some time ?

> another idea would be give Campaign Mobs a rage time 10 min should be ok unless its a General...

thx for reading guys and sorry for the bad language

greetings Kriegsgott

I don't know about allowing skill ups in campaign battle, I think it would be nice but as a big Besieged fan (I'm on Siren) I fear this might make players stop doing Besieged since Campaign Battle takes much less to prepare and happens way more often.

One thing I'd like in Campaign Battle though is auto-reraise at the end of each CB (I said this in the other thread too). I think we all had those moments were campaign ended and NPCs warped away leaving us dead and lonely on the ground right?

Beseiged time is so spread out. Waiting anywhere from 1 hour to 10 hours for 1 fight. As for campaign mobs being held, I say if the mob is dragged 50 yalms from allied npc or the tower then they lose allied status and mob losses agro on them. Skill ups is a good idea, I used to not get tags and beat on the fortifications and get skill ups but once mobs invaded then i gotta run. Another thing is people that I see in my union hardly fought a mob and walk off with bronze piece or an item that is rare like the item to make iqira feet in mountains. Like for instance this pld I seen alot he gets tags helps kill 1 mob cast pro and shell on people til he runs outta mp, goes and hides in a corner and stays there. Comes back at end and wins most of the pool, mainly the items worth anything. This needs a definate fix.

i like the idea too thx for adding it

and SE should fix the xp/an reward for slapping the fortication for over 30 min and get almost nothing & probably geting skill ups again <3
