Revive Campaign Battle

[Vinceroth]

I agree completely that SE should revive campaign battle. Sitting here soloing a mob for almost 20mins just to die bc of multi targets coming in on me, then realizing i don't have reraise just to waste all the time i spent on soloing is a real drag...SE should put more gear rewards that make the players almost as strong as the NPCs in campaign and increase the xp that you obtain so that more players will want to choose campaign as an equal option to lvling. Even making it where you can participate at much lower lvls would be a plus.

Some more alterations that can help revive Campaign Battle:

1.) Increase Experience Points reward.(As mentioned in many of the posts already)

To alter this to be more efficient, perhaps use the Bastion system so that each monster gives a set number of Experience Points upon being defeated.
(Delivering the "Killing Blow" should probably not effect the Experience gain.)

2.) Getting the "Killing Blow" should no longer matter for attaining Currency rewards in a Union.
(It really is annoying seeing random people show up and kill the Beastmen Generals with a stored 300% TP when you have been tanking/trying to kill them for 10+ minutes.)

I feel all Unions should get the rewards as long as the Beastmen are defeated.

3.) Adjust the Campaign Arbiter positioning adjusted to be slightly closer to the Fortifications in the following areas:

Garlaige Citadel(S) - While under Beastmen control
The Campaign Arbiter location is in a Storage Room located at (I-8) on the First Floor(map 1), which is out of the way and an inconvenience for the most part. Roughly a 3~4 minute run from the Tele-point to the C.A. then to the Fortifications themself.

I suggest either repositioning the Campaign Arbiter along the actual route from the Tele-point to the Fortifications or change the Tele-point from (H-8) on (map1) to one of the four rooms located at (I-6) on the same map.

4.) Add Tavniazia Campaign battle with a host of new units for both the Allied Forces and Beastmen Confederate Forces, still unsure why this has not been added yet.

A Tavniazia past zone would be a nice addition to past zones seeing as it was the battle there that started the Allied Forces to form.

I loved campaign battle. However as with most things inplemented in FFXI, it has been mostly shelved for newer content. I believe though with some minor adjustments - it can be saved!!!

Please post some suggestions for bringing back the glory days

1. Remove campaign medal expiry - this will allow more casual use withou losing your progress.

2. Allow skill ups. Besiege has it - why not campaign? Everybody wants a place to skill up, campaign would be a great place for that.

Any further suggestions?

1. they already did this you just have to take some time and *gasp* effort to do the WoTG missions/quest (not really that hard anymore most of it can be solo'd/duo'd to the point where you keep the top medals)

2.allow skill ups hell yes i see why they where removed due to ppl abusing the system (lol /brd) but it really is time to bring it back just not on fortifications
3. fortifications..... attacking CB where you spend 20-30 mins whacking the fortification because no mobs turn up for 100xp is dumb(again put in place because ppl abused the system) given the current abbysea abuse time to change this back to
4. someone already said this but leesen the requirments for the shadowlord BC never had the right medal when the chance to do it came arround and guess i never will as most nations are lucky if they control 3 zones these days nevermind the whole northlands
