Nyzul-esque dungeon

Insperation from another thread made me want the devs to consider adding a similar dungeon to Nyzul Isle from FFXI.

For people that didnt play FFXI here is the jist of it.

In Nyzul Isle you would have 30 mins to complete 5 floors a run of a 100 floor dungeon, on each floor you would have a random specific objective you got at the start of a floor.

The obectives could be to find a NM, a specific mob, switch lamps on at the same time or in the right order or kill all mobs. The timing for this could be very tight and one slip up could cause a failure. Every 20 floors you would fight a weakend version of an open world king HNM which would drop the dungeon gear.

A dungeon like this would be a long term goal to reach the top floor for the gear or weapons.

If they wanted they could make it so for example feet pieces drop from the 20th floor, legs from the 40th, hands from the 60th, body from the 80th and head from the 100th which would make people want to take the time to get to the highest floor.

Every 5 floors you could record your progress do if you complete floor 5 and leave you could re-enter at floor 6 and it carrys on like that.

This is also a dungeon that would benifit from a time limit like 30 mins so timing is tight and you have to work as a team to get through.

The objectives I mentioned are just what was in FFXI and they could be anything the devs wanted, but this would be a long term climb and could be content that lasts awhile for the whole climb.

I never played XI but that Dungeon Nyzul Isle sounds really amazing and fantastic. I completely want that in XIV! but of course, improvements and changes are welcomed too! :D

On the topic, I am quite curious about "The Crystal Tower" that Yoshi-P have been saying in some of the Interviews, I'm hoping to see some really huge, diverse, and puzzling Dungeon!

A dungeon with persistent qualities would be awesome.

Heres the wiki page for the mission (in FFXI its an assault, but it can easily be made into a dungeon with the same principles)

http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Nyz..._Investigation

Its quite a read but gives all the information about it, obviously changes would be made for FFXIV, also it could be made to tie in with the lore until 2.0 and then other changes so the top floor boss could be a named general from the garlean army, and as HNMs are added they could make the bosses HNMs after 2.0 (if the garlean threat has gone by then)

It sounds really exciting.

They probably have something similar planned for the crystal tower.

I have mentioned this a million times and it baffles me they don't do something like this. My hope is that the Crystal Tower Yoshi had mentioned in the 2.0 interviews/rollout will include elements of Nyzul.

I think they could even do something similar in the coliseum content they plan. Specifically, battling against randomly generated PvE content solo or using small groups. Take a boss monster, say Ahriman, and give it random attributes. Could allow players to practice soloing and small group tactics.

ya i guess crystal tower might be something similar. But ya i agree nyzul was my favourite event.

Nyzul Isle was my favourite content in FFXI, hands down. :3 I'd love to see something like it. Admittedly part of why I liked it was that it felt endgamey but could be done with a group of six or less people who had their ducks in a row, and everything in XIV is based around 4-8 person lowmannish parties, but even so.

That would be unbelievably fun. I'd be so willing to do that for fun with a group of friends to get awesome gear. I hope they actually put that.

Count another in the "Nyzul was the best event" group.

I love these ideas, and I'm sure we will get content like this, but the standard answer as in wait till 2.0 seems to be the way things are going, but that's not bad.

I'd like a system like this and the ability to have it scale based on party size. I would like for players to challenge it with 2, 4, and 8 man groups. For solo players, a content queue system would be nice for players who want to queue up for a run, and then be grouped with a "smart party" - party that's organized automatically but balanced.

Now, this might be a pipe dream, but I'm a big fan of queuing up for events, but that might be apart of their cross server queue event plan. Anyway, looking forward to it. :)

Assaults and Nyzul Isle assault was some of the best content that FFXI had. I had a lot of fun with them. =)

Nyzul Isle was a great time! My ls had fun with it and would regularly run ppl thru 1-100 just cause we enjoyed it. Would love an MMM sortta option too, that was always great fun for lvling. Made the grind alot easier to handle. 1-11 solo, 12-75 MMM on brd lol. Those are 2 of the things I miss most from xi

I never did much MMM but i loved the music. And yes, nyzul was the best 35 min xi fix (5 min to shout/make pt).

BRING IT BACK!!! i love Nyzul Isle was the best peice of endgame in ffxi. only reason i would go back to ffxi would be because of it. Don't forget about the mystisc weapon skills u had to unlock by so many kills depend on what floor u had reached.

Nice to see this support, and it would be cool if the crystal tower would be similar if that is the case a dev post clarifying what they can would be nice, also i remember those weponskills, sucked when I was trying to get drakesbane on floor 40 lol but when I got to 100 went fast, I wouldnt want an exact port becasue the complainers will get in.

Hope this one gets to the reps for a reply sometime :)
