Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Abriael]

Dude, how are you gonna react when 1.18 comes and you see that all of us that posted links to people hacking into the dungeons that are locked off [the ones we already have on our computers] are used as the dungeons in the patch? Because, I'm just saying, that's what's going to happen. I'm not necessarily saying that it's a bad thing... they could be pretty fun.

You must have missed the "currently open dungeon" part. I don't care in the leaset if those dungeons are completely new or are the ones that are already there, since they are still new content by any form of logic.

But, you keep flaming us as if we're lying and spreading false info when we're not.

Facts:
-Those 2 maps are already in the game, we know what they look like, a lot of us have seen the YT videos.

Unconfirmed, and even if they are, you don't know how much and how they have been reworked.

The copy/paste mantra that's going around is a plain lie, as those dungeon are no copy/paste of any environment currently accessible in the game. Ergo, if you don't want to be called out on spreading false information, simply don't.

Mmk, I took a trip

Point out the differences everyone!

The whole shape of the cave is 100% different. That's quite a big one.

You're just kidding yourself if you don't think the one looks like Mun-Tuy/Tam-Tara. We've even seen the locked Gridania dungeons... those look like Mun-Tuy and Tam-Tara too.

thank you..

For some people ignorance is bliss. We need rolleye emotes

Because no one has seen a chigoe? or a Skeleton? or the giant fish thing, forgot its name, or a Giant Toad? No, no ones seen them before!

At least put in Orges, or Beastmen or release the Coeurl since its finished but unimplemented.

You're making a broad speculation based on three mob types seen in just 2 screen shots. No one has any way of knowing whether or not there are new/rarer mobs further in or what all is included in the dungeons.

Do Ogres fit with the theme of the dungeon?

Do Coeurls?

Unless I'm mistaken, Coeurls would be the last type of mob you'd see in a dungeon. Beastmen like Goblins? Sure, but given your hacking ways, I'm sure even you didn't see what mobs exist in these dungeons yet beyond the screenshots because there's no spawn points yet. Where's your information coming from that the only mobs there are toads, anglers and skeletons? When I played FFXI they showed off Trolls/Flans/Lamia in the ToAU Assault updates and I can say with 100% certainty that I've fought more than Trolls, Flans and Lamia in my Assault days.

Ok, I'll give it to you. I don't have proof that they won't be changed, but I'd be willing to bet all my Gil that they'll stay exactly the same. So when that happens (it will, no reason to be super optimistic in this company lol), what are you gonna say?

true, I am, its because SE has let me down time after time after time, so I expect this to be no different. I would absolutely loved to be proved wrong and stuffs, I just dont see it happening. Guess we'll have to wait.

SE's track record so far with FFXIV doesn't exactly work in their favour. It's only natural that most of us are doubtful and expect the worst until they give us any reason to think otherwise.

Making broad speculation without even reading the text, of the announcement by the way, as it clearly talks about "foreign troops", which have nothing to do with chigoes, skeletons or giant fishes.

But of course when actual information conflicts with whining, whiners tend to ignore it like it didn't exist.

I'm not too happy to see that they have time limits. It also tells me they don't have much of a dedicated instance server if time limits had to be tossed in.

I would have called these instanced dungeons, though. 4/8 players doesn't imply much of a raid to me. Also, how the did Yogg-Saron become part of a Padjali legend? *runs*

Note: Yes, I know about Yog-Sothoth. In just couldn't resist.

The content is designed to be played by ranks 25 AND ABOVE (+) so instituting a level cap seems nonsensical to me.

You can't design content to be equally challenging and engaging with such a disparate rank range. A rank 25 monster is a non-trivial obstacle for a rank 2 character, but a rank 50 character will kill it in 3 seconds.

The gear I have is already better. Sure I could use a level 35 THM weapon, but what does it matter if I get it on a level 25 THM or a rank 50 PGL?

Because preventing people from zerging through the new content with overlevelled characters elongates the shelf life of the content and provides a more challenging, thus a more engaging and rewarding experience for the userbase.
