Besieged - update please!

I have been playing for 7 years, just for those that were wondering.

If you secretly have an item that already does this Imma beat you with a Rock! xD

We do. Some call it the /bmap.

/bmap teleports you to al zahbi when a besieged occurs? Awesome!

Totally, just gotta trade 300 gil to one of those nice dudes in any major city and whoosh! With all those Field Manuals everywhere your home town is no more than a few minutes away.

On Siren we now win besiged with around 20-40 people.

touche (That's all I had to say, but they were like "you nedz 10 letters" so I was like crap, Why don't I waste space with a crappy comment that makes no sense. Enter this comment)

I did think of the /bmap when i was doing my original post idea, but when you are just running around adventuring you are not going to check the /bmap every few minutes, maybe when you log in or something to see if there is one going on already or they are 'preparing' then you tend to go on your way and just forget or get busy with something. So an item would be helpful when you are, say, sitting in port jeuno waiting for something to do, but since you are sitting there, you're also watching tv/surfing the web etc, not every couple mins checking the /bmap, and as you surf you see some text pop up on your screen through an item you possess that states " This is a call to arms! The Undead horde is advancing on Al Zhabi!" Or something to that effect. This item could only be obtained after the quest "The Empress Crowned" which grants the title "Champion of Aht Urhgan" obviously meaning you wish to help Aht Urghan with it's troubles.

As for the besieged record on Siren, that's cool but not the point. This thread was created to bring attention to that fact that besieged has had 0 updates in the last several years while many other things have gotten updates and tweaks. It is older then campaign and yet campaign has had updates more recently that made it more lucrative for both exp and gil. That you win or not is completely a moot point as it pertains to this. I like to keep the focus so we do not get shut down and that we have the opportunity to express our views in a constructive manner, not putting down anyone's ideas. I doubt that those 20-40 people on Siren ENJOY defending the astral candy for an hour for.... 1500 exp and 1500 IS. Which is what this thread is about. You can make more then 1500 in 3 mobs in abyssea if you're capped on exp. In fact, one fully capped azure chest will give you 1250 exp and you don't have to do anything for it. In campaign if you solo (not saying you should but people do since there are not a lot of people there anymore) you will get at LEAST 1000 exp and have a chance at some very good loot from the reward boxes. I have netted 5.5k exp for helping in the demise of one wave in a campaign battle which took about 20 mins, and yet besieged gives you 1.5k max for staying the whole hour assuming it was a level 8 besieged. In the case of besieged i do not think the end justifies the means, when it was first introduced it probably did, when their were so many people doing it that you could not enter the zone and it would kick you back out, but that is no longer the case. But we already knew all that and that is why I look forward to hearing more ideas on how to better update besieged to make it more worthwhile and on par to the other "optional" things we can do.

Siren being awsome aside. Besieged doesn't need any updates. It's old content and the area is bearly ever visited. Making besieged harder will just result in it being lost more furthiering the penalties for the few people that still cling to a TAU-centric world.

Most things in the game really dont need any updates perse just something to make them more attractive even to smaller groups of players.

since you obviously didn't read my whole post... i didn't ask for them to change mob level or position except for the final bosses that currently show up in the last 5 minutes of the battle. I didn't ask for it to be easier or harder, i WANT it to stay the difficulty it is, i simply asked that there be more of it and that we gain greater rewards from doing it which would in turn make it more FUN and probably get more people doing it again. Just like they have done with everything at some point in this game. Please read and understand what people are asking for before you post something negative that was never mentioned.
