Open world content poll

I fail to see which open world content GW2 has that this game hasn't, apart from jumping puzzles. Let's see:

Here main story quests <-> GW2 main story quests
Here class quests <-> GW2 nothing
Here side quests <-> GW2 "hearts"
Here FATEs <-> GW2 "dynamic events"
Here levequests <-> GW2 nothing
Here dailies <-> GW2 nothing
Here treasure hunts <-> GW2 nothing

So, I'm sorry, but FF14 ARR wins on BOTH open world and instanced content, PvE-wise. GW2 wins on PvP (not surprising, as it's the main focus of the game), but PvP in GW2 is instanced anyway.

What's paradoxical is that this game has the MOST types of PvE content I have ever seen. The sheer quantity is not so impressive yet, but give it some time, can't compare with games that have already several expansions under their belt!

And you assume they have no plans to add new open world content? So I'm guessing beastman dailies and treasure hunting doesn't count?

I like FFXIV more but had to correct some of what you wrote.

Guild Missions, mini-games, mini-dungeons with daily treasure chests, music instruments, costume brawl. Hearts are incredibly varied. I love ARR but yeah -saying that it has more pve content than GW2 really doesn't make sense.

That is mainly why there won't be open world content. What is the point of Open World Content if anyone and their mom can be part of it, will profit from it? Then there is no challenge, no competition and that is not engaging at all.

Edit: To be more clear; the kind of open-world content you are looking for does allready exist in the form of Fates. It is exactly that like Behemoth or Odin.

I don't assume anything,they may they may not. The dailies are ok I guess but generic the treasure maps are a good step in the right direction.

If they would implement level sync outside of instances - then the open world would be more playable with grind parties and such.

Something like bcnm and ksnm from ffxi would be nice

OMG yes please, more open world anything / content that doesn't revolve round dungeon grinds. SE had the right ideas with Beast Quests and Treasure Hunts and I'd deffo like to see more of this to keep the game fun.

Please stop comparing this game to other ones and just tell your friends and fc members to come bump this thread til the forum mods get sick and either forward this to the dev for a reply or delete out of sheer cruelty.

Everyone and their mom can already be part of a lobby game where everyone is running around in the same gear, so much about competition.

I favor something like how experience parties were like in earlier MMO's. Group-focused, social gameplay that encouraged teamwork. To explore the world off the beaten path and take on meaningful, challenging quests. Let the players tell the tales of Eorzea.

Maybe because for the point of being fun? The game is already ripe and being continued with enough challenging competition type dungeon content. Scary notion I know but competition and challenge doesn't equal fun for everyone. Or for that matter all of a persons play time. Some of us do enjoy content that we can just jump in and have fun with and not be hardmode competition challenges. A little bit of variety mixed in with our hardmode competition challenges For Behemoth and Odin its really a far far cry to put only but two FATES that spawn every couple of days as engaging open world content when the world is empty for the rest of the days.

I think more ppl want open world content atm. I hope one of the dev team will reply here or to one of the other threads !

shameless bump. :)

Fates are a mess I'd be happy to get open world content that's NOT a fate.
Open world super dungeons would be awesome!

214 to 9...
I think we know what wins.

Indeed I hope more will vote so SE will notice especially the open world dungeon part :)

2,000,000 subs and we're counting 214 to 9 votes/likes? Get real, they have about 1,000 other more important things on their to-do list. Maybe when they get that done we can talk about your silly poll. Oh and Odin/Behemoth =D are open world.

I agree, i love everything about this game but when you're not grinding or crafting it seems to have nothing else etc.

Ok so you know what SE's most important to do list is?You may think its silly but I've seen tons of people on this forum, in game, and on many other forums like MMORPG.COM, Massively and many other sites wanting this to.

Omg i would love a complete ZONE that if ur not in an 8 man party your scared cuz you WILL die if accidently aggro something!!! I use to think these were the best part of some other MMO'S

You know I would settle for 4 man hell even 2 as long as you couldn't go it alone and there were meaningful things and activities inside.

I would be already happy If SE would add some Treasure hunt that requires some Skill to kill the mob! The pop item could drop in Coil T7 or 8 or something like that the that the game controlling gil farmer (fear fear) won't get a hand on it or something. And let it drop some endgame gear... There are several ways I think.

AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD ENDGAME THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A FIX NUMBER OF PPL THAT'S JUST A PUNCH IN THE FACE FOR ANY COMMUNITY BUILD !!!!

Oh yeah and ...

You haven't thought about that just a sec heh? lol

Maybe one of this 2.000.000 users that use this forum will help you out ... <.<

I would love to see 8 man maps maybe some sort of random NM pop for them as well.

You think at the E3 Yoshida will annouce something in this direction? Since he wanted to annouce some changes? And somewhere he said that there will be changes as well that will make old XI player happy. Can't fince the souce now ofc <.<
