Everyone is screaming "lack of content", but what kind of content do you wish for?

[Sheriyana]

Here's a few off the top of my head.

-Bring back combat leves and make them relevant (as much as people hate the animus books, they sure got people doing content in the open world)
-Utilize fates better (make them part of a relic step or whatever, doesn't need to be some OG atma nonsense, just make it like 10 fates in a zone, anything to get you to actually go into the new zones)
-Get back to doing 2 or 3 dungeons per patch
-Give variant its own roulette (the roulette version can pick a random route for you so you don't just always end up going for the easiest one) and add better rewards to it (more glams, mounts)
-Make the 24 man gear the same item level as savage and upgraded tomestone gear (there hasn't been a reason to farm the 24 man gear for anything but glamour since they added the upgradable crafted gear)
-Experiment more with treasure dungeons (the kill a bunch of mobs for a random chest format is so tired at this point and none of the drops are worth anything, make them more like real dungeons or something and add way more rewards to them)
-Add more solo or small group instanced content (like the masked carnivale for every job or something like guildhests that would be harder and with actual rewards)
-ADD SOMETHING TO THE GODDAMN ACHIEVEMENT TOKEN VENDOR (what was the point of the whole token system when they do literally nothing with it, at least add the rare dyes in there or something so people can actually use the damn things)
-Add super expensive mounts/glamour outfits to the Gold Saucer (when GS came out everyone wanted that Fenrir and it was a lot of work to get it, they need to add some really high cost items to make MGP worth farming again)
-Utilize the housing areas for events/content (this is more a personal pet peeve but the housing areas just feel so barren and lifeless, it was amazing back when we had seasonal events in them)
-Make a new Eureka type zone (Eureka now after all the patches to it is great content and the NM trains in Anemos were some of the best times I've had in the game. It doesn't even have to be tied to a relic. It doesn't even have to be multiple zones, just make one big one that gradually opens up areas or something)

I want back my 2nd dungeon per patch, idk if ppl dont want one, i enjoyed it, it was nice to have one not tied to msq, taking up loose threads and "what ifs"... and having only one makes my avoid ex roulett pretty fast...

And more pvp maps. Not modes, just add more maps, they did fine on CC, but for all other modes? THERES IS YOUR ONE MAP AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!


But all the small stuff, leves, more stff for the Goldsaucer...

-ADD SOMETHING TO THE GODDAMN ACHIEVEMENT TOKEN VENDOR (what was the point of the whole token system when they do literally nothing with it, at least add the rare dyes in there or something so people can actually use the damn things)

They did. Its in the 6.4 notes.

-Add super expensive mounts/glamour outfits to the Gold Saucer (when GS came out everyone wanted that Fenrir and it was a lot of work to get it, they need to add some really high cost items to make MGP worth farming again)

Blackjack mount: 4 million MGP.

Make a new Eureka type zone (Eureka now after all the patches to it is great content and the NM trains in Anemos were some of the best times I've had in the game. It doesn't even have to be tied to a relic. It doesn't even have to be multiple zones, just make one big one that gradually opens up areas or something)

Less than 14% made it all the way to Hydatos, which is why they probably didnt add a new one.

I'm just excited for the MSQ and the new Island Sanctuary stuff, honestly x3

Oh, and the new Ocean Fishing areas! I'm extra hyped about that!!!

Relevant content has been asked for years in FFXIV and one only has to look at what is being offered in other game to have ideas for content in FFXIV.

Some exemples :

- Interesting gearing process in which items not only have base stats but also effects and/or tier sets (that can be found even in FFXI or was implemented on relics in FFXIV V1),
- Raids that aren't only monster in a box to be cleared in minutes or be wipefests,
- More interesting dungeons with mechanics that aren't reskins of mechanics found in other dungeons with relevant rewards that provide replay value,
- More engaging mechanics than what we currently have now, they tried to do something in that regard in ARR and one only has to run coil of bahamut to check it,
- More interesting world events and overland content.

Less than 14% made it all the way to Hydatos, which is why they probably didnt add a new one.

What is the percentage of players running ultimate ? Yet they still implement ultimate content.

We'll see what they added. 4 million MGP is nothing, got it day one just to have it. The mistakes they made with Pagos made a lot of players give up on Eureka, Anemos was widely well received.

I would love to have some thievery/stealth option in this game, maybe with little missions attached like in ESO. It is the one thing I truly miss that I have enjoyed in other MMOs. Here, that ninja stealth just sits sad on my bar.

Oh DayHealer got me with that "terminally online" description. Well honestly a big part of why I expect so much is because I pay so much more for this than any other game. It's one of the few left that require a premium subscription just for game time, on top of charging a license fee for each expansion and having a shop of optional items. Just dropping by for a few days out of a month would feel like a waste of money so each month has higher expectations and receives more scrutiny.

Ok so I have a new idea that I haven't described before. You know the pvp series reward track? I'm thinking of a pve reward window with branching paths. There will be nodes where you can pick between say 500 tomes and 50,000 gil. There will also be big nodes with exclusive item rewards. It's not fomo / time restricted, but it is massive so people have a lot to work through if they have the time. It's like a big adventure map and some branches on it can be blocked until certain requirements are met, like defeat 5 notorious monsters to remove this lock. The window can be stylized with retro FF pixel art to make it look more fun, like pixel warrior of light on a journey.

For new battle content, I'd prefer more things like Castrum Lacus Litore. That isn't just a straight line, has side rooms that people want to clear efficiently because they are rewarded with more chests. It leaves it to the players to organize who goes where, so communication is encouraged and it feels like an MMO. I like that but content absolutely needs ongoing reasons to repeat so it doesn't fall into obsolete side-content purgatory.

To really take the game to the next level, I would want absolutely massive field zones that are many times larger than the current ones and they have activities that are more interesting than FATEs. Some of the features from field ops migrated into the open world would be a start. It would probably need an engine overhaul but I'd love to see real content in an open world rather than instanced for duty finder. That is probably what it takes to feel like a modern game.

Give me examples. What is it that you want? A patch every 2 months instead of 4? More MSQ? More Dungeon, Raids, Trials? Two Ultimates per patch? More grindy stuff? More PVP stuff? More solo content? If then, what? Deep Dungeons or anything else? Is there any content that isn't in the game that you want to suggest? I personally would like to see solo Raids/Trials with solo mechanics. But I'm a casual player, so I have nothing to complain since FFXIV is the best causal MMO of all time. But what about you endgamers, what do you want?

More exploration content, the world outside of Limsa should matter, way bigger and longer dungeons like Blackrock depths etc.

The problem with FF14 is, it has tons of content but the content does not really matter. Because it is useless and often not really fun.

They added 2 Orchestrion rolls. Wheres your defense for that?
