[Vent] What you guys think should change on ARR?

[ReikoKuchiki]

Trim up the 2.X patches and trip up a few spots of the 2.0 msq like the pre titan quests. Maybe increase exp rewards so that you don't hit exp walls while leveling up through ARR if they haven't already.

this would be a good way to make ppl get to the endgame without thinking about skipping

The character models. They're in need of some tweaks. Highlander men could use proper eyebrows, for example.

Highlander males don't have eyebrows for lore reasons. That's something i feel while I would like to be changed, it won't be.

Haukke Manor NM needs something you can interact with to warp you to the start instead of having to Return.

I think that the purpose of return on HM are especifically to teach you that you can use it on dgs, I personally would never have know that was possible without it. ARR works as a tutorial of sorts. So i dont think they need to change that.

ABout the Orchestrion music, i think its because these musics are from the 1.0 arent they? Maybe they have a motive, we just dont know

Nah. They definitely wanted you to walk back to the entrance, which is why the door opens up behind the boss before that to shorten the transition time. Though that door, and the stairs, and a myriad of the doors in that place, are not used likely because of designer oversight.

We already have a lot of the 1.0 music as orchestrion rolls anyway.

Put an aetheryte in vesper bay.

Yes I know you can port to limsa then sail there. This will still cut down on loading screens for your MANY trips there.

Yes, I know there's a throwaway line that the Syndicate didn't put one there because they didn't want to do it unless the scions curried their favor or something. It's just one throwaway line in one of the 2.X patches not a major plot point that would harm the story if taken out. This plot explanation is more a handwave for there not being an aetheryte there than some actually important detail.

Is that the shaving them because ala mhigo thing? Not every highlander, especially a wol highlander who nobody in ala mhigo recognizes from before 2.0, has to be from ala mhigo.

The lore reason was always flimsy. Not every Highlander NPC is even from Ala Mhigo, nor do they care for it - and the women don't make use of the same practice, so there's a major double standard.

Also, Ala Mhigo is kinda sorta free now too, giving reason for many who DID do it to stop.

I wonder if it's really more just they had trouble designing good eyebrows for them and said 'screw it throw in a flimsy lore reason for it that will be forced upon the entire population of male highlanders, but not the female ones they still need to be pretty.'

With SCH and SMN no longer having the connection that is ACN, what sort of changes to adapt the two do you suggest? ACN would have to be changed from a DPS to a Healer in order to stay lined up with SCH while a new starter class would have to be added for SMN so players aren't instantly getting thrust into a Job the second they start the game.

That's not necessary. It would be a simple matter to have ACN upgrade into SMN only, and have SCH be a separate job that is unlockable at ACN30 but not an ACN. It would be mechanically no different from leveling any class to 50 and unlocking DRK30 MCH30 AST30.

They have implied that the reason we don't have New Game+ for ARR yet is because they are working on changes along these lines.
