Hamlet defense: please no more sheeps and puks

Don't go giving them ideas, now...

As if i would....... :P

Yep, they're so lazy that they're overhauling the game from the ground up. If they don't put something like that, is simply because of strict resource management. Not because they're "lazy".

Makes no sense at all :P lol. Honestly if you have to overhaul because you fucked up at the start, then you're either lazy or stupid lol. And I dont think SE is stupid.

But look at everything in game, there is no "care" for anything, like Tanaka first said "We dont feel theres need for it so we wont do it" and he applied this to everything lol

Theres no love or passion in the game. No tender touches. Because they to lazy.

Is "Lazy" and "Laziness" your words of the year? This has nothing to do with laziness lol. You can't make a video game, let alone an MMORPG if you're lazy...it's impossible because there has to be drive to even make the framework let alone the actual programming and designing phase. The game was rushed out before it was ready, that's all there is to it.

Not to mention "fucking up" has nothing to do with laziness, it has to do with making errors which isn't always linked to laziness because I know a lot of lazy people who are the smartest folks you could meet, they just work at their own pace.

Looks like someone thinks he knows better (and quite obviously doesn't).
If they have to overhaul because they "fucked up" (big word), it's because the executives pushed for an early release date.

It's funny how people with zero game development experience go around calling developers "lazy" when they have absolutely no idea of what went on behind the scene. Conceited much?

No love or passion? no tender touches? It's enough for me to look at the equipment design or at the manical design and animation of any monster to see how massively wrong you are.

In my personal opinion, fending off sheep and puks is fine from early to mid-levels. However, I do agree that in the later levels of the game, we should be dealing with increasingly dangerous encounters.

Monster's actually move like...living things which you can't really say for most MMOs, or even some offline games..they move and "breathe" yeah, but it's blatantly mechanical rather than natural.

I'm actually not sure if Hamlet defense (it was announced by the old team) is still on the radar of the development team and when (if ever) it'll be implemented. But I have a request from the bottom of my heart:

if they'll ever be implemented, please don't make them revolved about fighting critters as the the vast majority of the current behests and levequests. There's no immersion or sense of an epic struggle when defending a village in danger from... pets!

There are plenty alternatives:
Pirate/brigand raids
Garlean invasion forces
Beastmen tribes raids
Undead armies
Epic sized monsters (dragons, wyverns and so forth) at high levels.

In a fantasy rpg I can understand at lv 1 killing off bugs and animals but by 20(at most imo) I should be fighting some beastmen grunts or something that looks like it's going to rip my head off. Even with behests I believe they should be more exciting like stopping small beastmen squadrons from taking control over an area then fighting the captain(leader) of them at the end for a final difficult struggle.

Currently it's like we are actually the bad guys attacking non-aggressive animals and bugs...Then who appears? More animals, bugs, or a pitiful elemental...

As you stated this game really needs more epic. Current content(plus other things) doesn't leave you feeling amazed enough as it should be. Future ideas and tweaks to the current features needs to have more of the "wow" effect.

EDIT: Even with XI in my newb days I ran into a beastman at lv 5. He kindly chased me back to sandy after hitting me in the back with an axe lol.
