You know in FFXIV I loved getting together with my LS, Figuring out how to beat a boss or do Dungeon runs. Challenges are what make a game great after all.
I also must admit I've always wanted to see a boss tower, or challenge tower. If I had to sum it up like what I would want it to be like, it would be like the one in FFX. You know, the Game Warden guy on the great plains who has Boss Monsters you've previously beaten but at much harder difficulties.
As for why this is a good idea especially for an MMO is as a gap filler for content. Sure you can do Easy Ifrit, Hard Ifrit, Extreme Ifrit. Or maybe you did White Raven or White Raven Hard Mode. But what if you could go back and fight every boss you've beaten on Hard Mode, Extreme Mode or even new modes like:Nightmare Mode. With New more devastating skills, better drops, and even more player skill required.
Or perhaps add achievements, rewards and a score board for LS's, with certain challenges like: How many Boss floors can you beat in a row without wiping, creating inter LS challenges and more sociability between LS's.
You can also use it as a time filler. Suppose you've done all the new content that's out at the moment, or perhaps you're bored of the same old,why not go to the Challenge Tower and fight a Boss you've fought before except it's even harder.
If you make it so that new Boss floors get unlocked as you beat more bosses within game, it becomes a challenge itself to add new floors for new Boss fights.
Seeing as their all Bosses, surely there must be some supremo Boss lording over the top of the tower right? So the tower itself could even contain it's own side story and lore to go with the Challenge of completing it.
The value of adding a Boss Challenge Tower is unending. Whether it's for LS bragging rights, new gear, achievements, storyline, or the pure sake of a server worthy Boss fight. There's a bit of something for everyone as far as a Challenge Tower goes.

Ever heard of Skirmish? On Turtle Island you fought some of FFXIVs NMs/bosses. Yeah i know, they weren't 100% the same.
But i think Yoshi-P or a dev has already confirmed, that we will get something like a monster farm in ARR (but not at launch, some time later). -

Crystal Tower? :)
Heard there will be multiple floors, with bosses in each.
But hmm, dunno. it would just mean everyone would go there to fight whatever mobs/boss, and not bother going anywhere else; Cause you can fight everything in Arena...Especially for instances, would be pointless to go there, if you could fight any of the bosses there, in Arena instead, with better loot... -

I like the idea of an endless boss attack mode. Back to back to back. Have rankings and show the team with the highest kill count on your server, then the world standings, etc. Something to look at once the initial game is released and successful enough to warrant adding this content in.

This would be good if it had non loot rewards, like ls prestige or achievements less you devalue the original content

01-22-2013, 05:42 AMZenakuwe don't know how crystal tower going to be but i don't think each floor would have a boss. If it anything like nyzul isle which i hope in the sense of better puzzle and great battles then crystal tower going to be a fun thing to do. I don't think everyone would just go to crystal tower there also Odin roaming around eorzea and the chance of finding a primal and controlling them for a week to summon them for crystal tower battles/ other endgame stuff.Quote:
