Play poll: No Open world vs Instanced world?

[Coglin]

Can you please point to me where in these posts you are talking about your opinion on replicating open world content in an instance. I'd love to see it.

there are just as many players that want them as there are who want instanced raids and dungeans. It would be foolish to exclude one group or the other by limiting content. We need all of the above, hands down, no questions asked. Argueing as if we should exclude one or the other is counter productive.

^^

do you agree with my several previous post, that we simply need a standard mix of both instanced and non instanced?

This statement also reinforces that.


And for the record, your opening post in this topic was an ad hominem attack. A big chunk of your posts in this topic are ad hominem attacks.

As for the blue (blue seemed appropriate because you appear sad) Whats your point? I simply followed the pattern, pace, and example you set in your first 8 pages of post. I tolerated 8 pages of you making off topic cracks, downtalking other posters, and misc. trolling before I followed the example you set. nothing beats the glass house boy throwing stones, let me tell you.

LOL, see you are, Because I if you would have read my post, I said the nms(open world) could have craft able gear/ u/u(ya know like the RNMs we have now, drops an item to craft, ya know). While Instances have their own exclusive gear, but are not better than others. Just different stats and what not. Soo, you are changing the way I'm saying things.

"Not better" is not the same as exclusive. It's also subjective as all hell, because at the end of the day there is such a thing as best in slot. Unless, of course, both open world and instanced offer gear that is identical (like what they did with Leaping Lizzy/Valkurm Emperor in FFXI).

That's not the same thing.

I asked if you are satisfied with open world content being copied in an instanced fashion for people who want to do it that way.

Are you? Yes or no, it's a simple question. Can you answer it?

I can't answer for them but I'll say what I think.

Nope.

nor would I want clones of instanced content becoming open world content, we want unique experiences not cloned ones so everyone can "Have it their way" This isn't Burger King.

Its exactly the same as your claiming that 4 to 1 want nothing but instanced raids out of a specifically condition question. Following your example, I must now debate the similarties in my answer to that of your question for 4 pages.

Well since you keep dodging the question, I'm going to assume it's a no.

Thanks for playing.

Of coarse you would. You have made it very clear in this thread that you choose 1/2 truths, putting words in others mouths, off interpretation, intentional misquoting, and demanding others to do that which you will not, as your M.O.

Well then, can you prove me wrong? Is your answer a yes or a no?

What condition? You're just sidestepping the whole thing now.

What, because Question 10 references Question 9? Big deal, Yoshida understood exactly what the players were saying.

This data is somewhat representative of the response seen to Question 9 data. The people have spoken. As such, we'll be operating under the premise that new PvE content, such as dungeons containing sought-after loot, will be instanced. By instancing content in this way, we'll be able to reduce claim wars and counter-camping and all that. There's also the added merit of enabling the level design team to work with a clear theme in mind, and create much more engaging and challenging content.

So what do we get from Yoshida's note?

A) He recognizes that modern players do not want claim wars.
B) An instanced can be tailored to challenge a party the whole way through. (Obviously once the game engine and server structure are corrected).
C) That this is the opinion of an overwhelming majority.

There is plenty to do in the open world. Leveling, gathering, crafting, questing, NMs, leves and seasonal events.

XIV needs to adapt or die. Instances will help it adapt. Question 10 proves that people will not pay good money to sit through claim wars. No one wants to be handed anything. They just want to actually play the game they sit down to play when they have time to.

What condition? The very specific one in his reference that was conditioned under the situation of a complete change to the claiming system

laughable that your ESP developed so fast that you can tell us what others think.

So what do we get from Yoshida's note?


Lets take your imiaginative dream here as an example. Lets hypothetically say 75% of all paying players want 100% instanced. A person would have to be a complete moron to assume to tell us SE would eleminate 25% of there clients. It shouldn't be that dificult to make open world and instanced content of equavilent and comparible difficulty, with equavilent and comparible rewards.

So are you claiming SE would refuse to appease 25% of its population ? Wait, just put that ESP to work oh great swammy, and tell us what else Yoshi thinks on the topic.
