Hamlet Defense

I smell congestion coming.

I don't- people are already whining about how much they think this is going to suck (I don't think it will but threads like this make it seem like that), there will be three locations to do it and a wide window of time to participate.

True but couldn't they make it where up to 20 players may join but NPC's fill in the missing spots?

I love the idea, and I hope that by 2.0 it will support larger groups of players, or even be open world (that would be the absolute best).

Completely let down by Hamlet Defense. What happened to finally get some decent large-scale PvE in the open world.. Just another instanced mess bound to be ridiculously simple yet-n-still another grindfest. Thanx for another glorified levequest SE..

Not SE's fault you decided to stop leveling when we had no details on exactly what the Hamlet defense was or the restrictions involved. That's on you.

yeah or they could put mid level content out for people with low level jobs or people returning to the game.. or the people who are coming back for the 10 day period... wtf do they have to do in those 10 days??? rush to get through the GC bs to do end game BS!? sounds miserable, why would anyone come back?

There's no "massive player" content til after 2.0

Not that i'm sure why people want that so badly. I never like those systems, because it feels like whatever you do personally doesn't matter much.

I would also mention the lag caused by so many character models and enemy models being displayed at the same time.
