Yoshida-san, Where's the Challenge? Where are the Real Changes? END GAME Content?

[Black_Rose]

If you understood game development you would know that you don't have the whole team working on one specific part of the game, its obvious the team working on the NM's had a lot less work than the battle system team and that is why we got them before.



We did get new content, NM's and more side quests, try them out sometime you might surprise yourself how fun they are.

i did the nms together with my shell allready, and i tried some of the new side quests.
while i liked the nm hunt, i hate the current side quests.
i'm enjoying quests like the current class quests alot more then the side quests.

i'm talking about real content, dungeons, instances, something like limbus or dynamis in FFXI.
something you can do over and over, and still not get sick of it because it's so fun to do.

The longer you take to put those changes in, the more players you'll be losing (permanently) because they see no fundamental changes. Just something to think about.

D-dear...God! Out of the <30k people playing, another THOUSAND might leave PERMANENTLY if SE does not cater to them now and not later.

They must be shaking uncontrollably in their office right now, reading this.

These topics are all the same. we know we getting new combat and first endgame in spring, just shut up until then. It's just copy/pasta of opinions said 2000+ times

Hi Jinko,

I do understand what you're saying. But of the 20 mid-level NMs they added for Patch 1.17 (along with the nerfing of the current 5 NMs to make them "balanced" for the 8 Party Maximum), they could've done this instead:

* 18 mid-level NMs
* 2 high-level NMs
* Balanced the current 5 NMs to make them a fun challenge with, say, ~5 players, instead of the current *3* players (they are really too easy right now if you go in with 6 or more Rank 50 players).

The 2 high-level NMs could follow the same pattern they established for the 1.17 20 NMs: Recycle an Inferno Drake or Doomvoid Guivre model, scale it up 10 - 20% in size, and balance its HP and give it a name, "Infuriating Iggy the Inferno Drake" . The Guivre models in this game are *AWESOME* and most people don't fight them on a regular basis.

Just stating an opinion Betelgeuzah. We can just stay quiet and not post on the boards either, and just quietly wait, sure. Is there anything wrong with someone posting their opinion, like you're doing?

[Totobi]

How about we let the game start walking before running, huh? Asking for endgame now is a little silly, when so much basic groundwork needs to be overhauled (battle system for one). If it bothers you that much, go play something else until the PS3 release.

Did I say there was?

Opinions are not created equal, mind you. That needs to be stated from time to time, as well.

[Petdo]

Just quit this game for a while
Forget it that it used to release on earth
Play other games that you plan to play but didn't
Stop whining

Come back to check lodestone again next year
If there's still no hope, begin this loop again.

Apparently, Betelgeuzah's sarcasm did not register with you. :P

Either way, the OP is a bit of a complainer. What we need is patience on the part of the community. They just implemented mid-range content, which is a positive sign that they are working to fix things. The mid range content was more important for keeping the newer players in the game, especially those who are still R35 with their mains.

The endgame content is coming. People just need to chill and take some Xanax.

[Rentahamster]

To the OP.

Shut the hell up.

Your ceaseless whining about a lack of challenge is annoying. If you don't like the challenge, try killing Kokoroon Quickfingers with a party of R20's. THAT's a challenge. Now go do it.

Peon.

Having to intentionally gimp onesself just so that one can find some sort of challege is in a game that should have it is bad game design.

For example: Legend of Zelda low heart run games.
