Play poll: No Open world vs Instanced world?

[Wolfie]

It's the same argument that you guys do with "IF YOU DON'T LIKE GUUBOOO, ANIMA, WHATEVER DON'T USE IT HURP DURP"

Yes, because you have other options. If you don't want to use a goobbue, you have a chocobo. If you don't want to use anima, you have airships, teleports, walking, and mounts.

I'm not even going to list off the other options you had for gear in ffxi.......

I would love to hear the alternative ways I could get Zenith Mitts, Algol, or Ridill.

LOL Leaping Boots was all he could listed, i have serious doubt he ever seen anything like Dalmatica or E.Body. God, i hope OP can proof me wrong lmao. I can't take him seriously now.

If Leaping boots NM is what he wants, we already have mid-level NMs that are in open world.

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.

This was very true for many many years, people were stuck and couldnt play the game due to best gears coming from open world HNMs. Solutions doesn't really come until Aht Urgan expansion which includes... guess what? MANY MANY INSTANCES woot!

Which offers many great pieces that are compareable to what ground HNMs offers,
Nashira/Homam from Limbus INSTANCES.
Every single piece from Salvage INSTANCES.

Let's also not forget dynamis INSTANCES, this was one of the early solution so people that couldn't claim HNMs in open worlds to have something to look forward too and to stop them from spotting AH gear or AF1.




Fact is, there was nothing in your post which merits open world, all u can say is just how you hates the idea of open world without a clear justifying.



and let me even clearer with what your reason were.

Rank 20 dungeon:
-Has more to it
-Meet new people(party up with strangers)
-NMs that you have to do certain things to make em pop(from what I understand)
-Chests that have random drops(HAVE TO BE OPEN BY KEYS)<---big thing for me.
-Different level of chests(rare keys to common)
-Multiple floors
-Not instanced
-Fun and thrill of the hunt(claiming the nm)

1. Has more to what? you mean it's only bigger because the content was designed for the whole server instead of 8 people?

2. Don't give me this crap, i make friends all the time doing instanced in this game or FFXI.

3. Yeah.. this is also possible in any instanced.

4,5,6. Chests also have random drops in Aurum's/Cutter's, sup? Cutter's have multiple floors too, sup?

7,8. Lol claiming the NM to be part of the thrill. People were happy when they get claims because they can finally fight something not when they were attempting to claim.

Dynamis wasn't an instance...

An instance implies it's an entirely separate entity from the main world, that nobody else can interfere with. Dynamis was a zone that could be claimed by a single group, making it impossible to enter until they left.

Dynamis was an separate entity that you loaded into that only allowed one group or X amount of players.

It is an instance.

It was instanced because each group had a different dynamis. The fact that the game didn't support concurrent dynamis instances doesn't make it any less of one.

I agree with OP, less instances and more open-world content. Thanks.

Bull.

I played FFXI for years without camping.

I would love to hear the alternative ways I could get Zenith Mitts, Algol, or Ridill.

Z.mitts = meh, generally overrated
Algol = completely overrated... paladins didn't DPS, Warriors used G.Axe, and DRK w/ GSword sucked.
Ridill = the most overrated P.O.S. equipment in FFXI, hands-down.

... you are very dense you know that... I was talking about how much gear there was an how many options you had for gear types that you didn't have to camp for.

But I wanted those pieces of gear. What were my options?
