SE better do something or the game will drop dead

I know right? since they've been sitting on their ass since release and nothing changed since day one, right?

[neorei]

things i do.

1. take a break
2. play another game (MMO, XBOX)
3. come back during patch
4. Have fun
5. repeat.

Yeah they need to do something because a lot of people are coming to a realization that SW:TOR offers most of the things people expected FFXIV to have. Namely a truly, genuinely, epic storyline.

What I'd like to see is just a bunch of gear and mobs and events added. A ton. Myself and my linkshell are sick of getting 1 boss every 3 months with 1 drop for each class with horrendous drop rates. 1.19 was a great patch, 1.18 was good... but 1.20 was rather ... uneventful. Sure moogle was a fun fight, and once you beat him it's about 200 kill grinds. Joy.

If they are going to a new engine it would still be nice to see a flood of items and loot and events to participate in. Ok so not all fights can be extremely epic like Moogle or Ifrit, but WoW and Rift and LOTRO and FFXI and every other MMO has lots of cannon fodder, tank and spank, minor challenges where you are limited by gear and you know what ... it works. It allows a change of flavor.


Point 1
If they turned every dungeon in this world into an instance, that can scale with your level, or has "Heroic/Hard/Elite/Epic/Whateverthehellyouwanttocallit" difficulty adjustments I think most people would be content. If every dungeon had a "Level 50 Hard" setting where all the mobs are scaled to be level 50 to 60, and all the bosses got massive stat increases, with some randomized loot at acceptable drop rates, I think we'd all have a blast for now.

What works for DDO was giving items random stats. Perhaps they could give us armor drops with random materia augments already socketed. Think about it for a min - they wouldn't have to script a lot of gear. Gear could have a random # of pre-socketed materia between 1 and 3 (leave 5 for crafters only i guess) and random stats and tiers. That way you'd have a chance of getting something meaningful from casual play, and you could make the armor Bound and Untradable if obtained this way.

Point 2
After playing Old Republic with some friends you really love the hell out of having NPC party members. We already have a Path Companion, having the ability to summon them at any time (and count as a party member, thus limiting their usefulness) and giving them a slight AI upgrade and stat upgrade would be highly welcome. Especially for soloers having difficulty with mage classes or slower-to-level jobs.

Well, just one more thing, why dont you wait for 2.0? Maybe if you wait till that time you wont be so upset at that time and you will enjoy a lot more the game. There are other games out there, give em a try and come back next year or after a few patches and check how the game feels.

Im ok with the game as it is right now, Rbanastre has a lot of active players and i do parties every day for ifrit, moogle or whatever i want. So not all servers are the same.

I just left the game and I don't feel like I missed anything at all. I'm just playing some other F2P game now to tied me over to 2.0 and hopefully it is worth something and more enjoyable. I do agree that this game feel very dead and it a mistake to charge now. People will start calling people who quit and say that this game is not worth the money are cheap and don't want to pay. But the truth is people will pay if the game is fun and worth something.

And BTW I can still post and my account is already cancel. So there go the fan boy who say all the troll are gone now if they have anything negative to say.

Cancelled accounts can post for 30 days, after 30 days the account goes inactive and people shouldn't have access to the forums anymore. I don't know who told you it was an instant thing, takes a month.

This is totally off topic but I wish for a my lil pony mount.

Don't worry, given the pictures of some seriously ridiculious looking mounts they have in the works, if you ask them enough times, they will probably give it to you.

another QQ'er let me guess you dont have all your gear double melded with materia or even figured out the best way to get triple, you dont have ever class to 50, you dont have every achievement or achievement gear/title, you also dont have every primal, stronghold, or dungeon gear/weapon do you......nope you dont.....but you need new content lmao and you havent done 1/4 of the content in the game but yet your here making this thread...... considered yourself officially chopped and screwed by Karma knite from the looks of your profile you have plenty of things to do and i hope SE read this....DONOT rush the content for people who only want to experience less than 1/4 of the game. unless you got every achievement every set of gear and every job to 50 you shouldn't be making a thread like this you just look dumb. But wait before you say it QQ i don't want to do all those things i don't want every achievement and to level every job QQ. then thats your fault for not experiencing all the content this game has to offer so don't rush se cause your lazy

P.S. Another QQ'er Roasted

[Xoo]

Yeah, I'd much rather let everyone else pay for something I plan to enjoy later. Let those other suckers fund my enjoyment. Must be that Gen.Y thing.

That's right. And what I think you really mean to say is you hope you'll enjoy. Otherwise you'd just be wasting a whole lot of time. Dunno about generation Y; I'm generation X.
