Suggestions for 4.0 expansion

I'm suggesting that an additional set of quests be triggered in areas by changing jobs allowing folks levelling additional classes or needed classes for jobs a bit of an easier time. It can get frustrating levelling the 2nd and 3rd classes after the 1st. Or trigger the original quests to reset for the 2nd and 3rd classes.

Wat? O.o Sorry, I'm lost with the first portion

Multi classing.

I want there to be duties specific to DoH and DoL classes. I have the way it could be worked out planned out, but I'm waiting until I have more time to actually type it out and create a thread for it. The basic idea is system run crafting competitions that score based on difficulty, HQ chance obtained, and actually creating a HQ item for crafters, and basically the same but with gathering for the DoL classes. Ideally it would either reward the winners with ingredients/gear, or be a part of the Golden Saucer and reward them with MGP....

I think cbwriter wants sidequests and main scenario quests to be made repeatable so that you can use them to level multiple classes. Which won't happen as this is exactly the reason we already have levequests and the beastmen dailies - those are meant to be the repeatable quests, with sidequests and the main scenario once only, because the later are not just for levelling, but for actually extending the story or unlocking content.

So basically, this won't happen, as levequests and the friendly beastmen quests already fill that need.

he/she more or less wants sidequests we have done to be able to be done on every class to make leveling other classes easier ... but will never happen cause we have fates/beast quests/levequests to help with that

Ala Mhigo, that is all.

Quests are an inefficient way to level up anyway.

1.x had Hamlet Defence late in it's cycle, which was similar to a Fate except that DoH/DoL had a period before it actually started to supply the base to be attacked to give it a better chance. Re-establishing that would actually make sense for 3.x, what with the dragonsong war.

my old game had a feature like that.. fighting classes objective was to break opposing teams defences n steal thier treasure escorting it back to our base while crafting classes job was to build n repair defences through a npc when needed for example -- if opposing team broke ur main gate if a crafting class was fast enough you could rebuild the gate b4 the enemies got out = trapping them inside your base for slaughter super fun pvp that was lol

Join skill combos! Like chrono trigger!

This! I've wanted the liberation of Ala Mhigo *far* more than I wanted more Ishgard, to be honest. Not that I'm unhappy about Ishgard and the new zones or anything.

i think 4.x will cover ala mhigo and that the wol will change to monk
as for my wish for 4.x an actuall magic close range class like a magic knight (but not with that excuse of a toothpick commonly called rapier)

We already have a close range, knight like class. they're called Paladins. I think you're just jealous of RDM's awesome hat.

What do you have against Rapiers? Just wondering. as they are effective against armored knights due to the speed and accuracy for hitting those weak spots on a knights joints, the groin area (slice that artery) or under the armpit.

They're only really effective in that case if said knight isn't wielding something like a greataxe, spear, or halberd...
But i digress. Rapiers are fine

Use of a rapier is based on dexterity, agility and precision, in other words, don't get hit :P You couldn't parry or block an attack from a much heavier weapon, but due to training, would avoid it and strike with the much faster weapon.

A pirate themed one could be cool. FC Ships and swimming Chocobos. PVP Naval Wars. Making your own pirate crew of NPC's. Just no underwater combat. That has never been done well.

it's still considered the very essence of a bad idea to go up against someone who has superior reach with a rapier. Just their swinging arc can be enough to keep a rapier user at bay.
For example, the same basic rules and limitations that apply to the rapier apply to the spear, except the spear has a much longer reach. It also weighs more but that's also an advantage. There's a reason you fielded Spearmen and not Rapiermen on the battlefield after all :P
The only TRUE advantage the rapier has over these weapons is in super close quarters where reach works against you. But even then you actually have to GET that close.

I just want to learn to swim.

It will be very interesting to see where we go in 4.0...I don't know enough of the back story to even make a prediction at this point. Maybe we can go kick the asses of those that made the Domans flee their home and help them take it back. Go to the Garlean empire and kick their ass also would be good.

Yeah I have a suggestion for the next expansion, first sort out the pricing and secondly make sure that digital downloads are available the same time as physical ones :P
