Ideas for Limbus mk2

[radar]

It's great so far:

No time limit is really good, far less stressful. Monster variation and area is good. Rewards are pretty good. Feeling of danger is good.

Consider giving more Capacity Points per kill here for casual and newer players if they are not yet at master (and maybe give a notice after CP is given that they are getting a bonus), new and casual players really need a boost on this the most.

New Limbus should give the best CP in the game, because it's the most likely content to make casual and solo players go there and potentially to group up due to the trust limitation.

Mlev should stay the same imo, established players can go other places to get those.

Add a rare drop to the chest (<5%), maybe a cosmetic or something. Players love the potential of a rare loot drop to show off with, that gives an additional reason to keep doing it. Maybe that black subligar or something like that. Something kind of cool and kind of rare.

Maybe consider adding a system as in Reisenjima where an Ascended monster pops after killing a basic one, that gives double Capacity points when killed but that isn't much more difficult to kill. This boosts the reward potential and adds some excitement at a rare double reward version popping.

Add a daily RoE objective that rewards with CP for killing 20 monsters here.

There should be as much push as possible to get casual and newer players to go here as possible.

Don't change the spawn range when players drag monsters to the warp point, this adds a sense of danger to the event and makes people have to pay attention. This is a good thing, making one piece of content "safe" when everything else is so, it just makes it boring.

Remove abilities that make the zone a pain to play in, why have charm, why have voidsong etc?

[Alhanelem]

About theonly thing we can really say for sure atm is that ultima/omega will return.

I don't think it's a coincidence that proto ultima/proto omega are to be featured in the next leg of the XI raid (both at the same time, no less) in FFXIV.

Ideas for Limbus mk2: Go back to the original Limbus and write down what mobs were on each floor. Instead of just throwing out a whole bunch of mobs, make it mobs that actually FIT the theme of the original.
As an example: NW5 should have a bunch of behemoths and other beasts.
NW4 should just be a whole bunch of Wyrms & dragon types.
NE2 all birds, big birds, small birds, maybe some toucans.
NE3 all arcana, dolls, magic pots, maybe add detectors, cardians, caturae & grimoires.
SW3 all mimics. no change here. just all mimics.
SW4 all elementals. would have to fix the damage taken by elementals to not be immune to physical since that should have never been a thing anyway. in fact, in SW4 that wasn't a thing before the change.

Basically, a large part of what made every floor in every wing of Limbus unique has been stripped away.
I'd like there to at least be a /nod to the old limbus in the new version.

since the data of old Limbus is still in the wiki:

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Central...os_-_3rd_Floor
4th floor was Ultima's floor so that's obviously free reign to play with.

I don't mean to limit the mobs to just what was there originally, but they should at least follow the theme in the floor, if it was all aquans on the floor, then it should stay all aquans, just expand which aquans are there. (except the mimic only floor, that should only have mimics)

Incase there was any doubt, they are working on adding Ultima and Omega to 119 Limbus. No doubt with updated gear from them (I hope they consider color changes to the 119 gear, maybe making it from red to double black and silver or something)

Interviewer: Please tell us about your plans moving forward.

Fujito: First, regarding the new Limbus, we plan to implement the first part in June.We’ll start by implementing the basic parts in order. After that, I think we’ll introduce things like “the one that switches between bipedal and quadrupedal movement” or “the one that floats and fires something like a massive buster cannon” (laughs).For Besieged, we plan to implement Content Levels (CL) 114 and 119 in the future. It’s possible that CL114 and CL119 might be implemented simultaneously. Up until now, the Content Levels have been increasing steadily, but it feels like the beastman armies are about to get serious.Also, the loot from the stronger base bosses, as it stands, won’t feel rewarding enough, so we’re discussing the idea of creating a new loot table specifically for when the campaign level is high.

[Alhanelem]

We basically already knew

[radar]

Yeah I guess, I hope they recolor the Nashira and Homan sets if they add 119 versions.

Full black homam and nashira (make the red parts black) would be great.

White looks better in my opinion your brain is just disgusting everyone.
