Stop Asking for Open World Content

[Stanelis]

It is always crap. Always. Just look at the joke of Hunts and Fates. When I play a game I want to be immersed in the experience... not be watching Netflix so I don't cry tears of boredom.

Just because fates and hunts are bad doesn't mean every open world content has to be garbage.

lol OP...because standing in town queuing for lobby bosses is so much more riveting, right? Open world content done right can be significantly more fun than instanced stuff...and it is accessible to many, many more players. I wouldn't mind some more real raids, too (aka >20 people, trash, lots of bosses - you know, a RAID)

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE!?!?! We should not ask for things we like because this guy said so!

lol what a joke, real full of yourself kid.

Treasure Maps aren't crap, they just need better rewards.

Even B Ranks are good now. If they put A Ranks on Weekly Bills they can be fun fights too.

Open, instanced, the fact remains that this entire game has a boring combat engine. Neither one of those things will fix it.

I don't see how it could be done well. I really don't. When you have content that you can just throw more people at, content that doesn't require you to actually play your class appropriately, what is the point? It is a zzzz fest.

Give me an example? Name one piece of open world content that required any sort of effort to get completed?

I don't get this complaint. The combat system is quite engaging, there is quite a bit of content that requires you to be on your A game to get past. (Along with the rest of the folks in your group). What exactly is your complaint about it?

Treasure maps? Eh... hardly riveting game play. Now if they made a possibility of actually failing the fight with the monsters showing up due to difficulty THAT would be interesting. Perhaps I should have been more detailed however. *Combat* encounters in the open world are always awful so stop asking to fight things in open world content. Or do you actually enjoy zerg fest hunts and zzz fates?
