World Visit

[TarynH]

I sincerely worry about the level of pain this will bring. I literally started the game over to get away from a heavily populated world. There was no housing on Sargatanas, and it was impossible to do certain content like the Hunt. Massive amounts of people were scanning for B ranks, and murdering them before anyone got there. Couldn't even get credit for the things even if you did get a hit in. Even FATEs were a pain some days.

I know it's a horrible way to view things, but... I just see it as a way for people to troll around in a world they don't care about, then simply travel back home when they're done abusing it for personal gain. I think this needs to be contained like it is in Eureka.

I'm not sure why people are saying this will affect the Market Board... it won't.

Every server has it's own economy (this is why there is a VERY restricted limit on how much gil you can bring from server to server when transferring). My guess is you won't be able to buy/sell from the MB, won't have access to your retainers either (as this could potentially affect the economy on your visiting server), won't be able to buy plots (housing) etc...

This feature will be good if you want to "visit" people and "hang out" with them. I'm not sure why they are introducing it at all to be honest but, it's SE. There's a lot of useless stuff around (for ex: the app).

EDIT: Trade is also a feature that probably will be restricted.

Guesting is not useless, it's pretty good if you have friends in a different server or you want to participate in some server event.

Smacks of CRZ (cross realm zoning) type that in google, search... I really hope this doesn't come to that. I really hope this goes well because I came from a place where it did not go well at all, I left there because of it. Starts out small, infiltrates to everything later as it goes along. I really hope I'm wrong about this. I hope its nothing like CRZ or..

This will wreck the Hunt if unrestricted. Considering the hunt has quite a large community, I sincerely hope they've thought this one through.

As someone who actively hunts for S ranks on a daily basis, the idea of going to a low population server to help them spawn stuff is nice, but the idea of hunt trolls server hopping to spread their annoyance everywhere is not.

I sincerely hope that if there is no changes to the way hunts work, that The Hunt is not available to people from different worlds. Having an entire data center worth of hunter flood to Balmung in an attempt to get to an S Rank sounds like the worst thing.

Pretty sure Yoshi/Koji during the reveal said that you can do hunts too. They put it in the context of doing it with friends, but we know most people won't use it for that reason.

Koji said you could do hunts, but my friend who speaks Japanese said that Yoshida did not mention hunts, just treasure hunts. Time will tell.

I'm hoping this means they will making more things to do in the outside world. Sad to see mostly empty beautiful zones with nothing to do in them.

It blows my mind that we have this pretty comprehensive treasure map system -- absolutely PERFECT for finding/farming pop items for NMs that could be killed/hunted by FCs and linkshells -- and SE really does nothing with it. This is the exact kind of content that would make World Visits worthwhile.

I get the feeling that this is their way of testing things before moving toward mega servers. First we can visit one another and then BAM we are all stuck together.

Probably would need to overhaul how housing and the market works before that happens. Else you'll basically always be in a new server cluster cause of your house and the markets will instantly crash due to servers with a low economy.

It is a nice concept though that can work, and they have the basis for that stuff alreeady with PF, Cross-LS, and now the World Visits.
