[dev1000] Dyanamis Maps

[Camate]

Hello! There have been a few comments related to checking time within Dynamis, as well as difficulties arising when trying to meet up with your fellow party members due to a lack of maps.

We are currently examining ways to display the remaining time in Dynamis. Due to the fact that the remaining time is managed server side and packets are not continuously sent client side, it’s not currently possible to check your remaining time. In order to check this it would be necessary to interact with the server by performing some action similar to the healing method in Abyssea. Taking into consideration the content of Dynamis itself (constant battles, longer battles, etc.), we felt that it would be difficult to use a feature that required player action to display the time. Due to this we are heading towards creating a way to automatically announce your time remaining.

As for maps, we are also looking into the possibility of displaying maps while in Dynamis. Currently, no maps exist for these areas, we would like to create them.

I think we all would appreciate to just have map, even if we cannot locate the position of other player. Having map displayed is GREATLY beneficial, we can find our ways easy based on position shout. I appreciate you are trying to rejuvenate dynamis but you need to make it on par with Abyssea, or better, at least close when it comes to EASE and learning curve. Fast, easy and convenient are the new direction that this game should go. No more stupid timesink, and time spent should give you rather decent reward. Abyssea is the best example on how to make old content feels brand new, exciting, and a whole lot of fun (even though it is the same time sink, but it never feels like it).

No........

Getting maps is at best, mildly convenient, nothing more. And no, Abyssea is boring as hell. And no, ease is not what this game needs more of. Just the map, that is all that is being asked for.

thank you! now that other groups can be there Wide scan comes into use as well to see if the NM we need is up as well. It might even help with finding a workable camp to rest MP where we woun't be mauled by repops.

Actually, since most groups go into Dynamis together, a groups time remaining will all be around the same. Since mages typically don't have their weapon drawn, and will need to rest for mp periodically anyways, it wouldn't be much trouble for them to check for time remaining by healing when the group wants to know.

For maps, there is the precedent of reusing maps in multiple zones--zones that have a regular area, and a WotG version.

Thank you very much for assisting these beloved crying baby because they can't get triangular toy go into the round hole.

People had no problem running inside dyna for the past 8 years; what's going on here? You don't know the 4 cities? It's not even the full zone either just a little part of it.

How much easier you babies want the game become?

You people just asking too much for things you are suppose to spend time to get familiar with the first day you launch this game; this requests is straight stupid. For the past 8 years, n00bs start by attending dyna events on time, be there with the shellmate, they go in as a group and leave as group, and eventually, after a few runs, they will have no problem navigating, then sooner or later, they are the vets leading their own shells. Now, every little thing, you kids will just never stop asking for ease. Once SE put in the map, you will want the drop rate increase, when the drop rate increase, you will be asking for an AH.

You people just amazed the crab out of me.

There are some great Dynamis maps on the wiki, may I suggest considering utilizing those?

I'm amazed that you're so mad at people asking for maps...

It wouldn't make dynamis "easier" like you're claiming, just less painful.

As for the time thing, it's a very valid point. It's not like there's an hourglass to tell us time remaining any more in any of the changed zones.

Can we have widescan and Moogle aoe detection in our moghouses please. I feel that its to much work to move and interact with our moghouse moogles at this time. Why should we even move our mouse or our game controller. THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY!!

It's not about not knowing the city maps, it's about finding your party members if you happen to lose track of them, sometimes people have to go afk, and /follow in Dynamis is, and was, never a good idea. Not everyone will understand "over by the thing with the thingymajigs where the thing pops that does the thing with the thing".
