3.0 Campaign battle can i have 8)

I would be great to have something like campaign battle from FF11 added to 14 next expansion. Have swarms of mobs and a boss or 2 attack certain towns. If you fail in successfully defending the town you lose access to the aether crystal until you clear the mobs out and retake the town. Also add a merit system so we can use the xp you get from it for something. There could also be a token system for it that you can get accessories , vanity , mounts, minions.

That would be awesome. Having this even sooner than 3.0 would be great.

besigued/assault too :rolleyes:

Campaign and besieged were my favorites:D

nothing like fighting hordes of mobs and their leaders, along with
npc companions and generals that all look and attack in their own
unique ways.

Aren't these called FATEs?

sounds a lot like rift

The fates we have now, dont hold a candle to besieged/campaign. Hopefully that
is something they fix in the future. Campaign and besieged were a lot more fleshed
out than a simple 7 minute zerg fest

The ideas come from XI, but yes the FATE system is like rift and GW2

Not even close lol - Unless you can point me into the direction of beastmen or general enemies assaulting cities trying to steal an important artifact that when stolen unlocks a special arena fight against them + their leader? Or a series of "fates" that pushes you and your allies closer to assaulting the lair of the lead villain? Or a tiered dungeon that changes based on level cap selected and military rank..?

Yeah, it's not even close lol.

Yeah, Rift came after XI lol. (even WoW did, but these particular systems were done a bit better in XI compared to earlier iterations in the 90s MMOs.)

I'd love for them to give us Ballista as well. It was halla fun. XD

Pretty much the same thing that is already in the game which is fates.

Not even close. Hamlet in 1.x was closer. Then again, I don't care much for FATEs - So can you tell me which battlefields are unlocked through controlling certain areas with FATEs? I mean, you can stretch anything to make something similar. You see that group of level 10 Qiqirin's just chilling around a camp fire? If you and your friends go and wipe em out, CONGRATS! CAMPAIGN BATTLE!

Ballista was much fun then this crap we have.

I would love Campaign battles too, it was one of my favourite things to do in FFXI when I had nothing else to occupy my time.

Uhm, we already have campaign battles. They're called FATEs. Sure, they're shorter, but the concept is basically identical.
