Tower Defense? MOBA? In my XIV?

After the game is all polished and looking spiffy, I think a great way to attract some players and a great way to have fun would be a Tower Defense (PVE) and Moba (PVP) style games in FFXIV.


It'd be easy to do the maps.


For Tower Defense? You use a menu to go around hiring Mercenaries (Goblins, Sell swords) and whatever who stay in a small area and attack anything nearby. While waves of monsters run through trying to get to the end, and you and your party can even join the fray and attack along side your mercenaries, Standard Tower Defense mechanics would be easy to introduce also (Immune to physical, Weak to Magical) Winning would give you an ingame currency you pile up to buy some unique PVE items.



For Moba?
Have a map designed in the standard three lane structure, have monsters for buffs hidden throughout the woodland (Jungle) areas, and some areas (Like Grass but not grass maybe little pads where you turn invisible or something) that act as the standard hide in the Moba grass so no one sees you. Have creeps running down the lanes to turrets (I'm sure the XIV team would give everything a cool name XD)

Honestly it could be done just about any way, They could do it where you use your normal characters and you get stat increases ontop of your usual when you get EXP and level up. Or they could make it like a traditional moba and everyone starts out at level 1. They could even have an item shop to buy item builds like a normal moba or not. I think it'd be a fun PVP game to play inside XIV. :3


Come on you know that'd get players those Moba games are all the rage right now, and tower defense, who hasn't played one in the last two years?

did my joke response in another thread spark this? oO lol. hell id be for it down the road i love MOBA's and TD games

It did, but I've been thinking about it for awhile, it'd be relatively easy to implement, and give players alot of fun. As long as they learned to give rewards for such things, Something they didn't learn from Brenner, Ballista, or that monster battling thing Pankration.

Hamlet Defense.

DRG = Deeps Top
ARC = AD carry
BLM = AP middle
WAR = Jungle
WHM = Support

Doable but no XD.

I forgot why I gave up with these forums, thanks for reminding me :)

Or they could just buy Crystal Defenders and play on the PSP or something while waiting for partyfinder to kick in.

V And that's why you don't suggest tower defense for XIV... since SE has never made a good Tower Defense minigame. :\

I have crystal defenders it sucks.

Having a tower defense as a feature in a game usually turns out as shit. However, a tower defense game alone like LoL can actually get it right, even though some of the characters in that game are just op. :P

Why stop there?

Let's get SC2 in FFXIV too. And some Blops2.
