Could S-E make Walk of Echoes Cross-World server?

[SirDayne]

I don't know about other Worlds, but Walk of Echoes is absolutely dead on Bahamut. I've tried during both NA and JP hours and there doesn't seem to be nearly as many people doing it anymore. (Although this could be attributed to searching on weekdays instead of weekends.)

Searching WoE zone usually only yields 1-2 people in the zone. This is not enough to complete any of the walks effectively.

Its sad to see the dev team develop content that I simply cannot experience (without failing) because there are not enough people doing it. WoE is designed by nature to be a group activity. I do not understand why so few players on Bahamut are not doing WoE anymore.

Therefore, I humbly offer the suggestion that the area have some kind of Cross-World matching. Of course this could potentially create overcrowding issues, but if S-E were to monitor the traffic in WoE and match up certain low-pop servers with others that are frequently doing WoE, then the overcrowding impact would be minimal. More players in zone = more people doing the content.

This may or may not be feasible, but I am looking for solutions. I enjoy doing WoE as something different and refreshing from the day-to-day grind of levelling and doing missions.

In the meanwhile, I will be trying to form WoE parties on a regular basis.

While I wouldn't object to the idea, it also opens up cross-server trading. Whether or not that's a good thing without restrictions put in place is up in the air. In general, the game could use some kind of cross-server quest help system, particularly once the limit break rush is over. This could also otherwise be extremely helpful for doing specific Assaults or Nyzul.

No one does WoE because no one wants anymore Logs and Ores.

Cross server event will be impossible. Just one thing would kill it: Same NameD Character. They would have to change so many things to accommondate server specific prefix for just name itself. And there are a ton of other issues as well.

It's not instanced content so I doubt this will ever happen.

Eh, Rift just temporarily named people to "Kalsena@Faeblight" and the like when doing cross-server things. Ultimately not much different than there being a Bob, Bobx, and Bobxxx on the same server.

yeah, I logged in to do WoE (as a sort of, "so, do I really want to quit" test, cause I love WoE when people are doing it) and there were 4 people in the zone at 7pm PST. So I logged out, and logged in to WoW, to play hunter, which seems a lot like BST (without the devs being afraid of it, thus making it utterly subpar)... I won't be renewing my XI sub this month, and it shall continue to be this way until XI stops getting cannibalized to pay for XIV, and starts getting real content, real fixes for broken and sub par jobs, and more attention on fun, not fake "balance" (which consists of 5 jobs that are OP, 5 jobs that are okay-good and the rest of them being abandoned/broken.

It is just nuts that the devs leave jobs like BST with half their abilities broken/useless - unable to participate at all in voidwatch, the newest content (without being deadweight/unable to proc) because they are afraid the job might be able to actually be GOOD/POWERFUL, costing a fortune (new jugs are just stupid expensive), bleh. Just bleh.

Also I've suggested numerous times that they scale the battles to the number of participants - open the flux - people have 5 mins to enter, and they scale the battle accordingly.

Or make half of the fluxes for 6 people only - designed to be a challenge for 6 moderately geared people - that way 3 excellently geared people on the right jobs could take it.

Instead, I haven't even got to see any but 1 of the new fluxes, because no one is there when I log in to do it.

I may end up leaving after next month as well, when my crysta runs out.

I really like the Idea or scaleing. The cross server thingy... not so mutch aand im unsure if its possible.

WoE is basically a dumping ground for bits of realities that Atomos chomps on right? Think of the infinite possibilities that premise offers for loot and for enemies to fight. Of course SE squanders those possibilities on logs and ores and recycled mobs. Think of the interest there would be if there were the chance at some alternate universe versions of some really rare and popular gear as well as USEFUL unique items. Oh and up the drop rate on scrolls. Give people some hope and they might bother to try.

As far as enemies? Imagine if we could challenge enemies from perhaps... I dunno... other games in the series?

Also, King Kupofried should be paying us directly for our efforts. He could pay us through a POINTS SYSTEM! At least we could earn something while we wait for the random number generators to go our way. Replace the XP with points or tokens if a sacrifice must be made.

Inundate the place with potential rewards, cut out the worthless crap, and give us a gradual means of progression. It surely wouldn't hurt. The event isn't going to get any more dead than it already is.
