Abyssea outside of Abyssea - Yay?

[Krisan]

Why complain? You're getting new content for a NINE YEAR OLD MMO; on the market we call those dinosaurs, we should be glad SE even considers pumping life through the veins of the game still.

I honestly don't personally care. I never liked Abyssea too much, and I was hoping for something a bit different here, but meh. I'm happy enough with the game as it is.

Also, eh.. Older MMO's are still kicking it. I think Ultima Online itself got a new expansion no more than last year or so. Unless something horribly awry goes wrong or everyone just stops playing indefinitely, I imagine SE will continue supporting this game for a good many more years yet. (Admittedly, I imagine they wanted XIV to take over for XI so they could phase out updates, but that didn't go so well and XIV's success is still in question.)

yeah its nice to see that SE still adds new stuff to FFxi. but i hope that in future updates they stop with this atma crap.
and they should stop with that u have to kill only 1 NM to get the drop.
still doing nyzle isle,dynamis,limbus. and that's much more fun as abyssea.

>dynamis
>fun

[Kensagaku]

Eh I dunno, I kinda like Xarc. And the Dreamlands areas are unique in their own ways too that make them interesting. The cities? No. The word fun is antithesis to Dynamis when it comes to cities. =(

Old doesn't equal crap.

Crap management does.

Why complain? You're getting new content for a NINE YEAR OLD MMO; on the market we call those dinosaurs, we should be glad SE even considers pumping life through the veins of the game still. You list off mindless prejudice to a system that resembles what we've been used to for the past year or so, and instead of welcoming some comfort in familiarity, you complain about it being 'unoriginal?' Get off your high horse.

You're... kidding, right? Dinosaurs? "On the market"? Have you never heard of Everquest, or Ultima Online? Hell, Ultima Online is going on 14-15 years old and they just got a new expansion (including a new playable race, brah) in Sept '09. No, you get off your high sock- I mean high horse.

Don't you pay a subscription fee for this "dinosaur"? Isn't that sub the same as any other MMO's out there?

Updates are not presents, if they stop updating this game they will lose the monthly subs this game gets. 100-200k users is nothing to scoff at, even moreso on a game with a loyal playerbase and that's already paid for itself.

Really depressing, so we finally get new content outside abyssea and they just make it abyssea.

Lol, it's all people want now, so it's not depressing nor shocking since the majority of the people said "it'll be impossible to top Abyssea, especially in terms of XP gain."

So why top it when you can continue it?

[Karbuncle]

the "Atmacites" may not be as broken as Atmas, and furthermore maybe we won't get 3 of them lol >___>. This System strikes me more similar to ANNM that anything else, outside of the buffs.

I'm a little peeved at the "Stone" wait again, but every piece of new content lately has had limitations. even old ones. Assaults? Tags. Salvage? See Assault, Nyzul? See Assault, Einherjar? Day wait. Dynamis? 3 Days, etc etc. Stones are probably their way of Limiting content without it just being "hur hur way 2 days".

I don't think this will be as easy as we think, Especially what with not being able to Brew them either. A lot of problems on "Easy mode" Came from 200k Brews (I should say, "Furthering").

I think this System could have been better, but i also think its really great as is. They're introducing the "Stagger" system again, People will have some control over drops, I liked that system. The Chest at the end rewarding each person differently Is nice, but its a double-edged sword.

On one hand, Everyone is rewarded, on the other, If stuff is "EX" it can't be traded, Someone might get something they can't use, and so on. It could cause further problems that the idea of "Rewarding everyone" meant to solve.

Oh Well, I look forward to this update for a lot of reasons, this will definitely be fun to try out.

Hey...

Hey guys. I have an Idea...

Why don't we like, wait to see what the actual content is like before assuming it sucks.

For all we know, voidwatch favors completely different strategy, jobs and concepts than abyssea and despite having an "atma" of sorts, might not be quite as easy.

Just don't expect to find argus or morbolger unclaimed anymore now.
