SE, stop releasing content that excludes most of your players

[yamochan]

You can't. The new airship content in 3.1 will be accessible without those things, though.

thx a bunch for the information

Um...

You can also access Airship Exploration Voyages from Ishgard Airhship yard if your FC doesn't have a house/You don't have an FC.

Way to jump the gun there.

^ as this person said way to only quote part of the notes.


Also... Not everything is designed for everyone. So even if it was for high end FCs congrats to them.

OP really needs to edit their post, this thread is pointless.

As long as there isn't any tangible in game benefit of having a FC airship over the default Ishgarde one, there shouldn't be too much of a fuss. Otherwise we'll just have more grumbling about the housing system, which is not really ideal to build content around. They're going to need instanced housing eventually.

This thread has gone on for eight pages because no one bothered reading past the first post. Please stop this madness. Look at what I just quoted. Please read it.

there should be, and SE should incentivize larger FCs. this is an MMORPG not a MORPG, people should want to get out of their little bubbles that have less than a dozen people in them, you can already do that in DF and 8 man statics.

I'm not saying I'd never want them to add benefits to company airships, but with the housing system the way it is and will be post 3.1, players will need to be part of nonmigratory FCs to really benefit. FCs that are migratory (those that shift MMOs frequently to maintain interest) won't be able to reap the benefit of the enhanced airships due to the fact they lose their housing if they're gone too long. If they did add such benefits, I'd hope they'd also talk about future development goals for the housing that aim to be more inclusive of the migratory community.

LOL, Indeed. Although I would just add at this point that players could always join a Free Company. Though I recognize that for some players this represents something too close to working for the collective good, and might offend their rugged individualism...that said, it's an MMORPG folks, that implies socializing, communicating and working with others...Free Companies are not bad things, They are not there to suck you dry, they are not there to tell you what dungeon to run, what class to play or when you have to be online.

Many FC are medium sized groups with a strong core of friends who welcome newcomers with open arms. Many FCs are not about end-game, gear grind or any of that nonsense. Many FCs are just about creating a nice group play with and a group/environment to call home. Many FC encourage people to play whatever class they want, for as long as they want and whenever they want. Many FC simply ask that their members help each other and are respectful of others.

Free Companies are not bad things, give them a chance, join one or form one of your own. Create a community...

that sounds like they quit paying their subs. i don't think SE have much if any obligation to these people if an entire FC doesn't have any members paying sub fees.
