Add Randomized Roaming Boss Packs and Quests for a More Dynamic Erozea

i totally agree with this post i would like to fight enemy patrols and have escort quest were you need to fight your way trough, and rescue missions in some enemy camps or fortress, having great rewards like factions points, gil, and whatever they can think of

I think it could be taken a step further to reduce camping itself.

Any time you start killing a particular amount of mobs, "elite"-esque mobs start spawning that are the same level but are much tougher. As you kill more, they become stronger and turn into "hero" and eventually "legendary" mobs (and thus spawning what we know as NMs).

Wouldn't work, what you're talking about is "place holder" and it's again, been done, redone, ad inf.

All people would do is have a reset clock for or against spawning of special mobs. The taking away of camps, in hindsight simply changed the name to "runs". We do runs now instead of camps. Same exact thing only with more narrow definitions.

We have already invented the idea of IT++ where you have same mob of differing levels. And the first thing people did was to use it in the least common denominators thus completely neutralizing it. That's basically the result of any of these implementations. An annoyance that need to be "neutralized".

It's a voice of experience in the kind "been there done that". It's something developers have kept playing with but considering the development effort involved, and how many times the results end up being crappy...pointless investment in hindsight.

Parallel to the "soul staring" problem we had in the past for FF14. Someone had the great idea and ended up with a total annoyance which didn't matter in the end. Thus we killed it.

And you're also against open-world NMs, aren't you?

Yes I know it's been done before, I played XI for the past seven years; where it happened, it was good in XI, and it'll be just fine here. (They wouldn't even have to drop anything beyond their 'normal droplist' either if you're so afraid of not being able to get a piece of gear; they'd just offer more experience points, and perhaps points of some kind.)

Fallout 3 did random encounters, be it quests, or stumbling upon npcs, or hostile and friendly npcs fighting. I'm up for whatever makes Eorzea feel more alive.

Do you feel that those random encounters in Fallout could be adapted to work in the FF14 universe?

We discussed this with Matsui to see what he thought about the idea. He thinks that random/roaming bosses and such are definitely necessary, and he himself would like it, as well! After we finish up the vast amounts of battle-related tasks, we would like to implement these as soon as possible.

Excellent news, that would be a lot of fun, and very cool to see.

More dynamic content... yes please. :)

Hopefully they're not on a 21+ hour timer.
