Besieged

[Kaisha]

Ah right, Besieged, that thing where you got one-shotted by something you couldn't see due to player/enemy density in the zone, and nothing showed in your battle log because you couldn't see it.

Besieged was fun... when I wasn't lagged out... Something like that could be interesting in XIV, but I'd prefer something like Campaign Battle. That was fun.

Anything fun is welcomed cuz we gonna need new things to do when we level to 60.
Don't want to spam fates in 3.0 cuz you know.... It's the expac and not 2.0.

We had this in 1.0. It was called "Hamlet Defense".

No, besieged is what we were expecting hamlets to be; massive open-world content with several mobs and nm's, not the 8-man co-op little mess that had to be spammed literally hundreds of times (thanks RNG) for items used to open the relic weapon quest.

Would love to see Besieged again only better optimized. It was fun but it could get old being killed by something you couldn't even see.

Something like Garlean Invasion 1.21?

I thought they had eluded to this type of thing happening at Ishgard in 3.0 somewhere? Either in a live letter or at one of the fanfests.

This would be fun to see in FFXIV. In fact, with the premise of the expansion I kind of thought a system like this or similar to it would be on the horizon. As laggy as it was, I really enjoyed besieged back when everyone that could fit into the zone would cram themselves in there and defend Al Zahbi. And the little cutscenes before and after were nice touches as well.
