This is probably, by far, my biggest concern with the game.

Keep up the great work! :cool:

I second that, been reading following the thread since the first post and well I think this is my biggest concern as well, even before the combat system I'd say. So much that I even came to realize that I'm not at all motivated to keep playing the game, I really hope their bandaid patch 1.18 can at least alleviate some of this until they actually redesign and give the maps some love. I love what the game has the potential to become, it's just not there right now.

I definitely agree! I worried that if I were to edit my first post, that it would lose the 'likes' and possibly the attention of the reps. I didn't want to risk every one's hard work. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'd gladly add them. :)

Thank you!

Need 25 "likes" for it to become a "hot topic" (French forums aren't very active ...)."

30th!

Siobu, I will add the picture links to my post (directly after the OP) if you don't want to edit it, or you can always put **EDIT** at the bottom to include pictures and notify the only part that's changed... I don't see an issue with that, myself.

Let's get crowned.

I so hope this thread gets a reply. This is one of the most bothersome things about this game to me. If they don't replace our current regions I hope they make some real breathtaking places to the north past Ishgard. So far the only areas i really like to be in are Coerthas and Mor Dhona.

Can't wait for the real adventure of explroring/fighting my way through really amazing areas to come :)

One little thing though, I need the list (of images) and instructions on how to hyperlink because I'm not savvy with all the forum functions :p

Just copy paste the URL. It will automatically turn it into a link. If you are using the WYSIWYG editor, it might mess it up, though, so paste the URLs first, then add in text formatting later.

come on SE, take a note from your first REAL MMO, you had done it so well there, even the zones you grow to hate, you still love (im looking at you Dunes)

3 things that can make this game, or most any MMO feel brand new are 1) the world 2) the combat 3) the advancement/class system. They have 2 of them being worked on, and i think it will do well, but they still have one and possibly the hardest to go, lets hope after over 330 posts this gets a little attention.

While true that they are nice to be in, I think it is mostly due to the fact that they are a nice change from the same 3 starting zones. But if you were in that zone all the time, maybe it would start to be the same problem as thanalan, Black Shroud and La Noscea... I mean by that that the whole zone is still pretty much the same wherever you are (from what I saw). It's still a very big zone with the same stuff all over. All the zones need to be broken down in sub-zones and designed differently (while still blending in nicely) so that each part feels like a new experience when tou reach it.

They also need to get rid of that tunnel/linear way of designing the zones and make them more open in general.
