Instanced Raids Unveiled!

Lodestone got updated with Raid dungeons~

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...9520e72300f0d2

old new armor?, maybe some new pieces?

Yes, Yes, keep em coming!!

repeat armor and weapons with new skins and repeat dungeons as the raid zones = IDC ...and the fact that it seems like they could only make 2 of these wonderful copy/paste looking fights make me care even less.

The only thing really bother me is that i'm seeing in those screens the same mobs again.. :/

You can't tell much by the screen shots given.

I'm more curious about where "Silent Arbor, Tinolqa" is. I haven't explored much, so where would I find this place? "Dragonhead, Coerthas" is obvious, so I don't get it. I mean, part of me doubts they're adding a new area, so I'd just like to know where it is.... and if it is a new area, then yay.

Well I for one am looking forward to it.

I think taking the conservative approach and reusing old / pre-made dungeons is a good thing. Why expiriment and risk a failure? Using near-identical terrain to what we currently have is surely going to appeal to the players who currently enjoy the world (which I'm assuming is everyone still playing)

And I don't think its fair to complain about re-used gear. They are busy fixing the core mechanics of the game.

I think these dungeons will be great :]

HAWT!

One's a 4-man, one's an 8-man (to appeal to those who like small and large groups). 60 minute time limit. That's a nice timeframe for our first introduction to dungeons, IMO. Plus, it looks like you have to do a quest to gain access. I'd love to see the full loot table, but the sneak peak pics looked tasty.

Excited to see you can get into Toto-Rak as early as R25!

*thumbs up*

Areas like those in the screenshot have been in since beta.

I thought the development team were bringing new stuff to the game, not just re-releasing stuff Tanaka and co. already made ten months ago.

What gives?

This isn't really a complaint. Im just incredulous is all.

silent arbor is near camp tranquil.
just scroll up a lil from tranquil on the map, cant miss it

I think the Pic of the 3 "new" Gear-pieces is of course not all we could we get. Like they also posted just 3 Pics, when they released the NM's, and we were able to get a lot of new Items.

So i wouldnt worry about that really.

wonder how many people gonna give a crap about drops from LvL 25 dungeon(use it for 10 lvls?), enterance to LvL 50 gonna be laggy.

We have yet to see the inside of these dungeons so it's a bit early to cry wolf about re-used designs until we actually get inside them.

I'm more concerned about where do you get these quests. Better not be a guildleve. Those unveiled rewards are not so special looking either but those look like gear for R25 raid.

If they had new gear designs that dropped from these raids, do you really think they would NOT show them as part of the 3 pics? ....yah no... its a bunch of repeat gear with some new color/skins and stats

Wonder how ppl know the Rank of the Gear by just looking at it. lol

And since 80% of the People always complained about anything, you wonder that SE is rushing it? That Stuff happns if you get forced to do something quick. If they would have more Time, you would see something "new" in the Gear-Pics.. but NOOOO.. lets complain in 1000 different Threads about anything, so we wont get anything Awesome, instead we will get something rushed.

Deal with it and all the Forumtrolls who forced this.

Im happy with w/e SE is giving me. Im looking forward to it and to more Dungeons, more Stuff we can do with our Mates to enjoy this Game.

Yes.. they did before. <_< And beside that.. they showed new Gear-designs a while ago.. you should read producers Letter sometimes. What you think where we will get the Gear they showed in the Artwork? From a Leve? lol

i still hope that toto-rak also allows us to enter with more then 4 members and Dzemael Darkhold with less then 8 without getting to hard to beat.
i was hoping to be able to choose the difficutly of dungeons like with leves depending on with how many members i enter

Yeah, well of course I'm not surprised after reading these threads and hearing complaint after complaint, 85% with good reason if you're talking when the game was released.

This is awesome stuff, very much welcome considering how much us rank 50's have to do in the game right now. Now we can actually get on and do some raids! I think it'll be great.

Bah, it looks good to me. I'm looking forward for more to do other than leves. It can only get better from here.

Not alot of infomation and also from them two screenshots same mob models. But better then nothing.

I'm not sure their version of raids and what we're used to are the same thing.

Looks like normal dungeons to me.

Oh nooo.. they released Dungeones with same mob models.. Holy Crap.. wtf guys?

You ever played FFXI? TONS of the Dynamis/Limbus etc. Mobs you also could find in the normal World. Whats your point? i DONT see a list there which lists all Mobs of the Dungeons, i DONT see a lists, which lists all of the Gear we can get. So can the Trolls like Zanfire and other Morons who dont even played this Game stay out of this Discussion? okthx

Considering my highest rank class is 24, I do. =P

I'm happy to see it's not all high level content. This game will definitely need more low-mid level content if it wants to bring back those who left early on, and appeal to the new PS3 players.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out. Won't know until I actually play it.

TIME LIMIT! 60MINS?!

XD lol so THAT just really happened o_O ooh boyy...

I doubt it. I think they're trying to go with a structured 4-man and 8-man model.

If Toto-Rak is made for a max of 4 people, letting you bring in more than that would make it a roflpwn steamroll.

That would be like WoW letting you take a raid group into a five-man heroic. Not gonna happen.

Putting aside the people who are complaining, how do you guys except these dungeons/raids will work?

I personally am expecting something similar to Salvage; the reason for this is, if u read the description of the 2 areas being introduced, both sound like a maze with multiple paths. Maze like areas mean there are a lot of different paths to take and could mean that it is not the same possible route every time u enter. This brings me back to an earlier post somewhere, could have been in the letter or posted by the devs on the japanese side(i dont remember where i read it) but i remember them saying something about how the route you take will change so it is not repetitive. The new information says these will be 60mins limited, which seems kinda short unless they plan to make it time consuming in other ways; which brings me to the "conditions" they mention "obtained by vanquishing formidable foes, fulfilling certain conditions within the area, and" this could mean like in salvage, route can change and be limited depending on the path you take, which would mean u would have to repeat the instance multiple times to get all gear or maybe even to gain access to the boss like in promyvion in ffxi, which required you to do multiple runs to gain items to eventually pop the boss.

Sorry about bad grammer, been up all night and its like 6am here now. interested to hear other peoples take on how these raids will work based on the new information

Lmao i just had a nice time laughing how you answered when i didnt even called your Name. So you feeld like im calling you? Very nice.. Trollfeeding still works ;). Get real man.

yep was just bout to rage about the 60min time limit, i'ma hate to say this but i think this mmo is game set match looking at that info. we'll see when it's patched but i lost my hope in it. lets hope it's everyday but probably not and even if it is i doubt theres more then 1 piece anyone will want for any class in it.

ugg so hopeless...

Should be fun, can't wait. New Jobs, Auto-Attack, Dungeons. It's going to be a very interesting patch. It's early here too, but now I don't need my coffee this morning.

Hm.. 60 Minutes doesnt sounds to bad to me. If its like every 2-3 days im also fine with it. And also its beeing said that more Dungeons will come in the Future. These are just the first 2.. so more are coming!.. Just "when" is the question. But im pretty sure these Dungeons will keep us busy for a while. XD

Outburst? emotional? lol.. i didnt even start. Since when you get a Launch-break in the Kindergarden? O_o

yeah i'm pretty sure one set for every city, so 3 rank 30's and 3 rank 50's will come out. 60mins just means we will be in and out that dungeon in 30-40mins tops. they are like the equivelent to warhammers blood dungeon is what i'm picturing. maybe after all 3 cities finally get added, then maybe they will give us one that is 3times as long? i dunno ..just not excited any more.

I agree. I think this is a good timeframe for our first taste of dungeons in this game. I'm sure the epic 3-4 hour endgame raids will come. Baby steps.

They already said there is only 2, so its 1 lvl 30 1 lvl 50....thats it. As for Nero, Yah, your getting WAY too defensive...but hey as long as you enjoy playing mediocre crap and are impressed that 8 months in your getting 2 (what so far looks to be) copy/paste dungeons then by all means..enjoy, the rest of us will make comments about how we feel its going to be yet another half baked event.

(lol you must of been one of those guys making excuses for the awesome copy/paste "egg" events right?)

Im curious about the Rules in the Dungeon. Like you get something you can use for Stuff in the Future? Like you got Bynes and Stuff in FFXI. Or do we have to fight a Boss?.. hmhhmmm

All I'm going to say is hope they at LEAST made the nm's in the dungeons unique mobs in name AND looks... not just copy paste like the rest of what seems to be in the screenshots :S ... but very much doubt it...

@Nero
Looks like you are the one who needs a "launch-break".
Maybe you shouldn't have been launched in the first place.

I am grateful for the new features that are soon to be implemented, but with that being said I am not expecting much from them.
