Can we expect time limited battles like the raven, nevermore in 2.0?

I'd like to see hard battles/dungeons that will be only available for a certain period of time in 2.0.

I really enjoyed nael hard in 1.0
Having a really hard battle which would only be available for a limited time with a special reward to prove you beaten it.

I was wondering (and hoping) we'd get some of this time based extra content in 2.0 and that it doesn't just last for 1.0 rather than having all of 2.0 content being available all the time.

The time limit wasn't a really big deal in The Raven, Nevermore but... it would be nice to have less of them.

They already confirmed no speedruns (YAY) but this is up in the air still I guess.

Limited-time content like Raven Hard mode would be terrible in ARR. There are many players who have limited time to play in their daily lives, yet pay the same monthly fee as everyone else. To be denied content because they couldn't spend 5-8 hours a day working on it before it was gone would certainly lose the game LOTS of subs.

All the gm/imperial live events that rewarded achieves were pretty neat. Id like to see more like them.

If they do make more of such events, I hope they will not be so difficult for casual players to complete as The Raven, Nevermore was. That fight was not very forgiving to us casual players. I gave a serious effort to complete the quest, trying the fight over 70 times. However, without a static group of veteran players and the use of 3rd party tools, completing the quest was a daunting task. I would have liked to obtain the White Ravens reward, but it seems I should have played more to be able to get them.

So, please don't make time limited content extraordinarily difficult or inaccessible for casual players.

oh look, more of that "all content accessible to casuals, no content exclusive to hardcores" mentality. weird how that keeps popping up, and weird how every MMO that tries to appeal to it ends up dying in a month or two.

This. I think that it's nice to have events where the drops you earn from them can't be obtained afterwards (the seasonal events etc.). If they were to make them into fights or something, then I'd hope that they're fun, but not necessarily extremely difficult, just so that everyone has a chance of experiencing it.

I'm casual, I dont even have a ls atm. I completed the Raven quest easily, and who used 3rd pt tools on that fight? It was difficult but not difficult enough that you would need 3rd pt software. If they have the content up long enough and more than just say a week or 3 and drop rates are not .02% its casual friendly enough. A casuals ls can still get things done or even an event ls with 2 event days a week.

Just cause we are casuals (well Im turning into more hardcore in xiv since im spending less and less time in xi with each passing week) doesnt mean that we dont deserve a really good challange now and then. If you could beat every fight after 2-3 tries where would the fun in that be...even for casuals?

Also remember Content Finder, will make things alot easier on casuals.

I really can't tell if this is sarcasm or not..and I speak in sarcasm. D: Are you saying all content should be accessible to everyone? That's a one way ticket to killing your MMO.

You're jumping to an extreme. I'm not against hardcore content. I love a good challenge, and I love having long term goals to work for. I don't have White Ravens, but I'm not bitter about it. But giving players a very difficult challenge for only a month, then removing it isn't fair at all. I pay just as much in monthly fees as you do -- I'd like to be given a fair chance to clear content without sacrificing my career or relationships.

It makes sense for now, since servers are going down, but it doesn't make business sense for when the game launches.
