Moh Dhona expanding so slowly.

For some reason I thought after my 1 year gap from playing this game
that when I came back on Moh Dhona would be more or less nearly complete. They seem to be really be taking their time with it. Yet when you look at that town, I can't remember the name it's not that fare away from Maytora's Cave sorry about any spilling mistakes. When 3.3 came out I couldn't believe all the changes that had happened to fixing up the town, camp, village what ever you would call it. Maybe they should get some gobbys to help build Moh Dhona.

I believe they stopped expanding Revenant Toll since 2.55. The place is now complete and all expansion operations has moved to Idyllshire.

Things that change in Revenant Toll are just NPCs doing their own side stories to cover what goes on there as the WoL is away.

Uhh, Revenant's Toll has been pretty much complete since before HW, bro. If anything else happens to it, it'll probably be as a result of new storyline developments.

Mor Dhona is finished, there is no use expanding it when players have made Idyllshire their new hub. When the final Heavensward patch drops, we will see no more new stuff being added to Idyllshire, because everyone will be at the 4.0 main hub area.

That kind of sounds a bit lazy was hoping to see a full rebuilt village. Instead of the illusion of a village in the process of being built, and yet because it no longer becomes the main hub, once a new expansion is out they introduces a new broken village in the process of being built. Same story just told in a different way sigh. But that really seems to be FF14 ARR style lol, reusing the same format lol on some stuff.

Sadly yes, look at the content that we are getting, from relics, to dungeons etc SE tends to stick to what works. I do have to note that since 3.0 they have been releasing new stuff, but still the majority of their content is pretty much the same.

At lest the Palace of the dead will be a freash of breath air but really how long do they think they can keep doing that. I do hope that from 3.5 , 3.35 what ever the patch number is, things start to change. Makes me wounded how long this game will last.

Then can we expect future Jobs to take Mechanics from old jobs but just twist it a bit to fit the Job Role like Berserker as a DPS Job that use Warrior Mechanic but adjusted to increase Damage per stack and spend it on High Damage skills for a even stronger damage buff but short duration? :p

Jokes a side:

It would be interesting if they can some how introduce Mechanics from Tank, DPS, and Healer Jobs into new Jobs and manage to adjust it to suite a new Trinity Role for that new Job.

Not entirely sure what's unfinished about Mor Dhona. It's always looked like a complete town to me.

The second floor where the bridge is.

I think part of it has to do with it not being a separate zone. Since its part of Mor Dhona and with how many limitations and server issues and other issues(we won't talk about because it just leads to people saying its not true and get really mad) we already have I just don't think it was possible for them to continue. With idyllshire they can do much more since they decided last minute to make it a zone within the zone. As much as I love open world and zoneless areas I enjoy seeing the rebuilt of these areas and still wish Revs Toll would be fully done one day.

Mor Dhona is done. Idyllshire is the changing one now.

Spoiler maybe...
As part of the MSQ, the domin refugees have to go to revenants toll to help rebuild in exchange for a place to live. It wouldn't make much sense story wise for them to go help build a settlement that's completely finished.

You need to remember that the patch where the doman refugees show up and move to Revenant's Toll was what, a couple of years ago?

At the time those story quests were introduced Revenant's Toll was far more incomplete. The current Revenant's Toll was built with the aid of the Doman Refugees.

So story wise it does not make sense for those coming into the game now. This is because they did not turn it into a zone within a zone that is phased according to the story. Which if they had would of allowed the player to see Revenant's Toll grow up as the MSQ progressed onward.

But its a bit late at this point for them to go back and update it to work like the HW beast tribes phased sections of the map. That would probably require them to redo the Mor Dhona map entirely.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mor Dhona is done, unless they ever use phasing to get rid of the Garlean presence as well.

That said Nanamo has pledged to send money to help either the Scions (who's main base is there), or Mor Dhona in general depending on what option you pick during the remembrance quest. So its a possibility.

Regardless, there's still rubble, boxes and wood all over. It may be, for the most part, done, but it still needs to be fixed up, polished, and have people to do general maintenance.

I do remember how bad it looked in the beginning. And I do know (from my point of view) that it was the domans that did all that work.

I'm just saying that, to new players, the "fix up/polish/maintenance" aspect of revenants toll is the NEW reason for them to migrate there. They still need that labor force to "dot the i's and cross the T's"

Revenant's Toll is done. They couldn't really change it all that much from its default state, due to the fact that it existed in the larger zone of Mor Dhona. They realized their mistake and fixed it with Idyllshire, making it its own zone. Now they can enhance and expand it as much as they want, without worrying about intruding into PVE territories.

I fully agree with everything you said.

idyallshire looks beautiful nows tho compared to what it used to be like

One thing i would love to see is more dynamic cities and environments. Trees that grow over time etc out in the field. One can dream..

Who knows maybe when they stop supporting the PS3 we might see stuff like that in the future.

I agree with Nexas. Since the "updates" of these hubs aren't individual, as in introduced when you reach a certain point in the MSQ, it makes more sense to have it left in a state of "almost complete", to allow new players to feel that there's still things happening. When everyone in the MSQ is talking about how they're still fixing up the town, it would jar completely if there was nothing more to be done, would it? ^^; Similarly, I think they'll leave some bits "in progress" in Idyllshire when they move on to the 4.0 hub, just so the new players coming in then will get the sense that it's a dynamic place and the gobbies are "always" building new things -- even if nothing actually happens to those in-progress things. Illusion? Yes, but it kinda works ^^

I love the way they look incomplete. Makes me look forward to something. It shows us that we don't live in a perfect world.
