New Expansion in the works? Please tell us!

[Camiie]

2001-2012, what?

What have they done for us lately? They've coasted along on low drop rates, randomness, and gil sinks with very minimal storylines (and I think that's being generous). They have a skeleton crew on the game that always has an excuse ready for why something can't be done. These days McDonalds is more committed to my order off the dollar menu than SE is to providing a good experience for my game purchase and $14 a month. In the past SE did better, and I never thought I'd be saying SE's MMO division used to be better. Now it seems they don't even care about their company name or the quality of their biggest, most beloved franchise.

I'm daring them... I'm begging them to prove me wrong. I can't say I've never wanted to be proved wrong more, but I really really want them to do something to make me eat my words. Not say something, but DO something. Flowery words about commitment aren't enough now.

I didn't realize you were a developer.

Pack it up guys, Tahngarthor knows all the answers, forum is pointless shut it down.

On topic: I'd like to see an expansion, and think its within the realms of possibility. It wouldn't surprise me if console support is dropped soon, or at least limited.

What currently going on in the game or on these forums leads you in any way to believe that something that could be called an "expansion" could possibly be in the works?

The up till now not continueing Roadmap. And the 'Big Announcement' SE Promised for Vanafest are indicators that something is comeing. They mentioned on their advertise an Announcement as big as 'the Lvl Cap increase'..... Doubt it will be "Abyssea-Dynamis" or something....

So there is indicators for an Expansion.... but there are also reasons that would make me think a bit more 'Balance' (See what i did there?) would be in order.
Things are moveing one way or another.

If the big announcement is a new expansion pack don't expect anything amazing, you people got spoiled by Abyssea, If anything they're probably going to do:

A Set of NMs ala Abyssea.
All spawnable except for 1 (Gukumatz Jr) that'll be constantly camped and cause unnecessary annoyances when they can just make him spawnable as well.
More fetch quests.
Upgrade Empyrean Armor to +3 through 1700 items of their choice that comes from an NM or set of NMs (Voidwatch) with 0.8% drop rate.
Storyline that ties up loose ends (I'm okay with this.)
New ultimate weapons that no one will have or only 80 people will ever have (Mythic Weapon Part Deux.)

Would you like some cheese with that?

Sure, when you can find what I'm whining about. Since you seem to be the type of troll that like to look into things that doesn't exist, I do need to clarify for you or you won't be able to sleep at night:

There's a difference between knowing SE will design artificial challenges rather than designing something that makes sense, though you're probably one of those people who think Mythic weapons were smartly designed.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of content for the new ppl (if there are ppl out still joining), but vets of this game need something fresh and new. I've notice ever since the last update the WoTG expansion, ppl have been leaving the game. Some delete characters, others give them away. Shoot, I ran into, what I thought was an old buddy of mine, being played by some other guy or girl. And this dude was pimped out. But when I found out why he resigned, he stated that there was nothing to look forward to. He felt that voidwatch, abyssea, and the up coming Legion, provided by the development team, was doing nothing more but trying to prevent the inevitable: Losing its player base.

I truly cant argue with him there (I wish he could sign on to this forum to explain and support his argument). We are overdue for some fresh new areas. Bring back that old school challenge and adventure with a reasonable reward system or drop rate. No logs of course. lol.

Let me ask you guys: How many of you remember how excited you were when you got Sky/Sea/ect. access from your expansion and it wasn't any recycled areas seen a million times with different colors?

This is how I have felt for along time, thank you for the great post.
