Ballista Discussion

[Raka]

Asking for some love with PvP content is like breaking their arm or something since they tend to ignore this section of the crowd. As much as I'd love to move to Quetz. to PvP...simply just can't do it right now. If only could have a single server for PvP fans, etc. to duke it out. :/ I'm even shocked still SquareEnix refuses to give us some sort of response. This thread has been up for a month now. Are we all not entitled to get something out of the game we've supported for so many years? It can't be that much work to give Ballista something rewarding or allow the use of Ballista points to be exchanged for stuff like Plasm or Bayld or whatever....

Simply some actual fix and not a bandaid like you just used by allowing Vouchers to be exchanged for Ballista Points. Come on now, please. ~.~

Well, here I found my thread completely neglected, again! Silly Square Enix! Come on, let's get some Ballista-love!

Here's a thought, Ballista versus Monstrosity.

Trisscar that was kind of my thoughts on the changes that can be done to ballista/brenner or additions to it.

Thanks for all the feedback and discussion on Ballista.

At the moment, the battle team has been prioritizing new content and balance adjustments for PvE and has not been able to secure time to work on Ballista.

Currently no plans have been established for Ballista, but that’s not to say that we will not expand or change the content moving forward.

Apologies that we are unable to answer the requests for new Ballista elements, but PvP content-wise, the Monstrosity team is currently working on plans for group PvP using the Monstrosity system, and if you’re interested in new PvP content please be sure to keep an eye out for information on this.

Well, I'd just like to point out that if you fix up ballista to coincide with the huge changes to the game since anything at all was done to it, and offer some slightly more meaningful rewards, people might actually play it.

That being said, belligerency reallly needs some work, along with MON vs MON pvp needing to be an actual thing. But PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZE, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE do SOMETHING to ballista.

How long do its fans have to beg to even get the smallest crumbs thrown to them?

Not that I don't like Monstrosity or anything, but if they're going to such lengths for this content, why not do the same for Ballista? What's the point of the Official Matches that are constantly trying to set up if nobody does it them? It's pretty sad when you enter Jugner Forest and see the Herald's message about Ballista, only to see it cancel anyways. Constant reminder of one of the best parts of FFXI, being ignored.

I know the feeling and it still the same for the zones in jeuno areas or some city area's as well for Ballista Notifications.

I don't mean to hijack a Ballista thread but does this mean that MON V MON and MON party play is close to completion!? Please say yes...

[Mefuki]

Then SE needs to keep us in the loop about what's going on because at the time of that post it had been 2 months without a Monstrosity update or any mention about what they were working on. I'm very happy to know it's still being worked on now. I was starting to get concerned that SE was seeing lowing participation numbers in Monstrosity and erroneously concluded, "Maybe we should stop updating it. No one seems to like it or wants to do it.", all the while not really doing much to keep peoples attention. i.e. no events to use Mons on, no good rewards, etc.
