Why Hamlet still not available yet?

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Things like Hamlet Defense and Caravan Security will be considered Full Active Time Events. With this system, many different things will take place in many different places. That’s how I’d like you to think of it for now.

There are currently no plans to add any end-game style content for Disciples of the Hand.

So yeah, Hamlet defense was reduced to being either a zergfest or ghost town where you do nothing but faceroll all enemies to death. But at least they have the hamlet defense BGM! Yay?

Haha! I'm guessing too much drama?

BTW, Hamlet's not a new content, it's old one. I think that quote was meant for the other thing.

And SE should have given announcement if Hamlet was removed. They didn't. At least not from old lodestone news.

I know it's old. And that's exactly what the quote means! It literally says that hamlet defense is now a part of FATE. The thing is they are exactly like every other FATE, except with a different background music. Try going to Poor Maid's Mill or Highbridge and take part in a FATE. And no matter how much SE tries to force us to love FATE, it is still the most boring thing ever.

There are many things that were removed that they didn't announce in the achievements list. For example, secondary tool gathering for MIN and BTN, gil drops from enemy achievements (even though enemies now drop more gil than ever...), A Little Something On The Side, all faction leve-related achievements, all caravan-related achievements... So that list is pointless, as it was going to allow us to collect all achievements that were going away, but didn't.

No Drama, just awful design. Outside of the EXTENSIVE gathering and crafting the event was poorly made. As a tank I spent 60% of my time running around a cave/tree/empty sand pit, kiting a boss for 15minutes of a fight just to get a high score for a better chance of a drop.

As a gatherer I ran between pots on the floor matching up colours. As a crafter I made 1 item over and over and over.

And the poor healers, reduced to healing NPC's for 25 minutes.

No Thank You.

I was hoping to resume Hamlet achievements in 2.0, but we were never warned that they would be unobtainable until early access started.

If I recall, SE did say about removing secondary gathering & faction leves back then.

As for caravan, yea... SE didn't tell anything about that.

no argue on that.

Hamlet defense wasn't exactly the most exciting thing ever, no. But it was something. Now, DoL and DoH instead have nothing. I quite enjoyed hamlet defense as DoL and DoH, but of course it could be better. They didn't have to re-introduce the exact same thing, but it would be nice to have some content for DoL and DoH. I hope they reconsider and add something more, and make DoL and DoH the "main classes" that are "just as important as the DoW/DoM classes" as was originally the plan!

Your just wrong buddy. People can feel the way they want to feel without being forced to feel bad about it. What your are saying in some cases is considered abuse. And if we were married or living together it would be domestic violence.

Don't forget Chocobo escort missions.

This at every 10 levels, yes!!

Maybe in next patch? What are hamlets anyway?

Hamlet is where team-work between all classes really begins and what end-game should really be about,lol! I would probably compare it to a XIV version of "the Dunes" in FFXI.

Real tactical & strategic MMO COMBAT. (PvE)

It would be nice for PVP? 1 team as enemies, 1 team as protection.

No idea is a bad idea if it's to heighten the challenge on a bigger scale.

When someone is negative about good, creative content, all I can say is: LTP.
It's a MMO and this is the kind of content that should be in FFXIV over any FATE.

HAMLET > FATE
