Yoshi-P / Dev Team please considering adding Abyssea to this game

[Riardon]

Diadem was the one of the worst if not the worst content this game seen. A horrible piece of crap made to just keep us playing until 3.2 but it was poorly made. I don't want anything like this ever again. I got my mount from there and it was an awful experience. I will never ever enter that silly thing ever again. 1 and half hour of a stupid grindfest with a zerg and no brains. Reminded me of Lineage 2 grindfest and not with the good meaning. Horrible idea poorly executed. FFXIV needs more horizontal progression and more gear choices. I don't mind the tomestones but those ideas got old and we are still getting the same things recycled over and over again with every patch. I'm pretty sure there are other ways too. 3.1 was a horrible patch. I liked the 2 new dungeons but apart from those it was a poor job. We need more open world activities (I don't mean FATE grindfest), gear from craft which will be good, more dungeons with gear that is not crap and not only for skin.

Yea. I think Diadem would of been better if it acted as a gateway to openworld content. Instead of having junk you can gather in Diadem, why not gain favors in Diadem that can be used in the open world to find unique gathering nodes? Why not have these favor be sellable on the MB, this would fix the issue with DOL but it would also give a reason for DOL to fight in Diadem, to earn/find more favors or exchange for points to obtain favors.

Another could be the ability to find unique treasure maps in Diadem maybe have it where you can obtain 2 maps a week through Diadem, and those maps could be used to fight named open world bosses that require a full party of i200+ geared players.

The exploration is lacking in Diadem because the design is very simplistic, if anything it feels like a somewhat dumb downed Abyssea because you kill mobs, to make another mob spawn while following a path to spawn it. It's true that Diadem in a way has just turned into a Duty Finder hunt system that can be queued for without the waiting to call out a mob spawning lol which is kinda lame, there isn't really a sense of exploration and that's the part I was really hoping would of made it into Diadem but it does feel really shallow atm.

and if it's anything like XI's result. . .

Abyssea is already in FFXIV and it is called the diadem.

Also, Abyssea is probably the worst piece of content of FFXI. It is simply horrible.

1. Diadem is nothing like Abyssea, this last one having a better design and concept imo.

It is 100 % the same thing. The only difference is that you don't have specific gear dropping from a specific NM (which is a good thing because Abyssea was a nightmare in that regard).

Anything else would be better than how the game is now.

Take it how you want. The game needs another massive change.

But your suggesting that its the worst game on the market with that comment... which is just silly.

aka... troll-like

I don't know that the game "needs" a massive change. If there was a massive change it could easily alienate more players than keep, which is the opposite of the point of a game. Which is making money. You may not be happy, but don't transpose what people talk about on the forums with how the average player feels in the game. The forums are full of the most outspoken people that love to be heard and generally also contains the most opinionated. I am one of them too, but most all of the people that I talk to ingame aren't complaining about it, its just those that are advertising it over shouts and those melodramatic folk in FC's and LS's.

If the game is that dead to you take a 6 month break. It's what I did between 2.1 and 2.5. I came back with a wealth of things to do and it's been pretty fun playing catch up.

That....

that isn't what a troll is. Also he never said it was the worst game out there. You literally put words in his mouth and then called him a troll burning down a straw man.

The Gold Saucer says high. I though Triple Triad was a train wreak but Thal's Balls did Lords of Verminnion hit the ground dead.
