Play poll: No Open world vs Instanced world?

[Rokien]

I prefer instanced dungeons myself.

I get the feeling Yoshi has pretty much made up his mind on this, that may be why it isn't in the poll.

Play vindicuts.......
Or gw1

No you go play something else, instance dungeons will be a fact because of content finder.. we have been over this already !!

Heh people cry about a "FFXI clone" but they'll happily take their GW1 clone.

Just as you are happy with a FFXI clone, I'm sure others are allowed to want a GW1 clone, are you saying your opinion matters more than the next ? (I'll state now that I'm not looking for this game to be a clone of anything)

See Rokien... this right here is where you start to lose... This is also what both sides of this can not see eye to eye. Someone has a different opinion and someone I either side will state "you want this" or "you don't like this" go play X game. And once you start doing that you are in the wrong...

Is there no way that there can be both open world content and instanced content? I'm sure there will still be strongholds and things of that nature in the game as open world... I'm also sure that even if Yoshi said all dungeons will be instanced that will not really happen and there will be some open world ones. The fact both sides of this take it to such extremes... Though as I have said before... you humans do like to attack each other over nothing...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

I've stated many times that instances have their place, but when EVERY ACTIVITY is instanced(that drops something worth while) it becomes an issue. Right now, all gear that you should be getting, is inside an instanced. Especially the darklight armor that is out now.

Everyone is level 50 pretty much, so what is there to do? Go in an instanced dungeon and get the best armor, that's not good game design(also my opinion).

Also, I was more or less, stating that this game will turn into gw1 or vindictus if the rate of instanced areas continue. Sorry, I played FFXI for the community and how many things there was to do OUTSIDE of an instanced area.
Right now its the same, grab the same 8 people- go in the dungeon. There is nothing adventuring or exciting about that.

As i've stated, I like instanced content just not when instanced> open world.

Yes, because we REALLY need to spend time fighting for claims and then waiting after we fail. That makes sense.

Not at all. GW1 and Vindicktits had channels, and aren't even considered MMOs by the developers who make the games. FFXIV has no channels at all. The game has a 100% open world, and a few small dungeons that are instanced. This is the way the game should be going. Not all of us want to slave away 10 hours in front of a mob hoping to claim it for a small chance at getting the item that we want.

Except this is not the way that the game will be going. I'm pretty sure Yoshida wants to stick to a completely open world with no channels. You're overreacting.

never said anything about channels..... I'm talking about them turning every dungeon into an instanced raid.... I'm just comparing them.

>Don't have to camp if you don't want to, you didn't in ffxi.
>it's not 100% open world, if it was we wouldn't have instanced raids
>It's not completely open world........ so no I'm not overreacting when he said hes going to turn all dungeons into instanced areas.(basically a channel, wanna know why? Because I'm fighting ifrit with my group, you are also fighitng ifrit in your group, but we don't see each other..... hmmmmm......same thing as a channel.)

>Don't have to camp if you don't want to, you didn't in ffxi.

How could you think that this is a good point? This is the equivalent of "if you don't like it, don't play it." People who didn't camp in FFXI didn't get to play the game.

It's the same argument that you guys do with "IF YOU DON'T LIKE GUUBOOO, ANIMA, WHATEVER DON'T USE IT HURP DURP"
Also you didn't have to get leaping boots or the epin stuff like that >.>
