you think SE doing good job (or any at all) supporting old content

[Atelier-Bagur]

and its a problem they rework things that do not need it . like YEY they reworked old dungeons that was easy to make them EVEN MORE EASY? how it helps? i dont see any one being happy to go to this new reworked dungeons if they got a say in it.

What's even your problem? I've had friends including myself appreciating the new reworks to dungeons because the old archaic designs didn't jell with the current game. Yeah that 2nd boss at Copperbell Mine was suuuuuuper exciting having practically half of the party not do anything.

You say they don't update their old content yet when they do you complain about it. I'm not gonna further debate with you on this as you clearly have no clue what you're even talking about. Just complaining for the sake of complaining. Good job

you think SE doing a good job (or any at all) supporting old content and making it stay any way relevant?

Sorry had to laugh for a bit there. But the answer is no. Like with most things they do, they're slow, inefficient, and ineffective.

update?? we talking about make it RELEVENT so sorry i did not made it clear. i think they need to invest time to make the content relevant not give it a new painting job.

Ok my mistake then.

I personally think what we have that's relevant is...relatively fine? My only issue is how much relevancy do we want to have for content, because if a lot of things become relevant then we can easily run into the problem of things being a daily chore.

I rather like that many things and systems in this game have a clear end to them such as GC ranks and Tribal Dailies. The only additions I would seek from them would be to add in some new rewards but all in all I still see many people interacting at the GC desk since most of us do roulettes and use dungeon items to turn in for seals, to buy some essentials and what not like grade matters, ventures, manuals, cordials, material coffers etc.

The Squadrons only go up to a certain point in the story. And they haven't been updated to feature Viera and Hrothgar despite having been updated to feature Au Ra when they came out.

Au Ra were in the game before Squadrons.

Leveling experience on multiple jobs is bad so no it's pretty bad on old content. The balance the game around level cap and raids so there's your problem.

[Jettinson]

While I agree to an extent, there is content that permeates the experience past early game. And I define Early Game as being up to the Trial version, which many people likely consider to be too narrow.

For example, what Kaurhz above you said:

This is felt in ARR content. Prime example is the GC Ranks. They're not finished. The Squadrons only go up to a certain point in the story. And they haven't been updated to feature Viera and Hrothgar despite having been updated to feature Au Ra when they came out.
And though old content doesn't need to be supported, they sure keep shoving old content into newer content. Such as the Bozja Weapons and their blatant attempt to revive old content by forcing alliance raid spam or populate low level areas for FATE grinding. Or, if you're not inclined to do Delubrum, do Palace of the Dead. Meaning Square does still see it as relevant to an extent, so they support it beyond just roulettes o: It's just not done in a good sense.

It sucks with GC because the MSQ gets on your face with that, forces you to join one and then... whatever and it takes time getting to Captain rank as a fresh sprout. Your Squadron caps to 60 yet no new GC related stuff at lv60, no new fancy GC themed gear and so on. All that left to dust and some occasional mission for my MGP boost tickets...

Most of the fancy GC gear is behind Hunts anyway. The only updates I care for with GC are allowing us to run Trust dungeons with our squad mates, include Hroth and Viera members, and give new rewards for seal purchasing.

Maybe also add in Allied Seal or tomestone rewards for doing Command Missions. Otherwise nothing too much where I have to add in another daily chore on my list.

[MagiusNecros]

GC additions should come with each new expansion. GC kinda feels like Blue Mage where everything is 2 or more expansions behind. Grand Companies of Eorzea should be improving over the course of the game. As is it gives the vibe that the 3 nations aren't doing anything to improve their world status.

I always had the idea that Ishgard and Ala Mhigo would become their own GC and offer different gear and rewards.

Clearly not the case.

I feel like the Beast Tribes are the real GC content these days. Rep grinds and rewards you can get at certain rep tiers.

All games like this have to focus on new content. New DLC. That's what makes people login again. That's where the money is.

They are taking the time now to alter the required quests and dungeons to increase retention, but it's the sort of thing they do in their spare time because they don't want to take all the resources away from new content where the money is.

I don't think they do enough to let us enjoy the older content again. They don't need spend much time on this issue, but just make it sync tighter or scale the health and incoming damage to be higher when it's needed. We need a Faux Hollows or Blue Mage Log system for doing old content minimum item level. These are the simple things that could be done to support old content better.
