My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

[Jynx]

Because it explains why it won't hurt the game in General.

You nit-picking my choice of words in a post explains why a worldless world wont hurt the game? I'm amazed.

But seriously it doesn't answer any of the issues I have, and why I think it CAN hurt the game.

Explain to me the definition of a "Worldless Model". Do you mean everything being Instanced? If that's the case, you have to look at the whole game in General and whats going to be in them. Things that will be Instanced are Primals/Dungeons. That's all really, the rest will fall under Open World. and we been told theres going to be alot of Missions/Quests to raise your rank within your Company. PvP won't be instanced ( Frontlines at least), Wandering Odin, Campaign, Strongholds etc.

When you look at the whole picture in General, Is this game really going to be "Worldless?"

We have little idea of what 2.0 will bring as far as we have been told all non instanced dungeons we have are undergoing a instancing make-over I don't see why they wouldn't do this for the strongholds either. PVP could for all we know be totally instanced (I actually imagine it would) almost all the content aside from the small spat of content they said would be open world (Odin) could be turned into a instance.

I'd love to sit back and wait for more information to trickle in, and I plan on doing so if I was dead set on thinking it would turn out to be my worst nightmare I would allready be gone. I'm looking at a worst case scenario for me, where everything for the most part is getting tied up into instances so people can use the world finder.

I understand the view may be a little overboard but I generally expect the worst until I hear otherwise. I have faith Yoshida has better plans for the game but with the team not being very forthcoming with information (Because people throw fits when they don't hit a deadline or something, or change their minds) all we can do is speculate.

Is that what you think I am saying ? seriously .. I wonder why I bother sometime.

Then please do explain what you meant by telling me that it's a moot point to speak our minds about the subject. If I misunderstood your intent please correct me because what I said is what I took your statement for.

Two PvP venues, Coliseum and Frontlines, to be released after version 2.0. Unique zones to be created so
as not to affect non-participating players. Release of PvP-specific abilities, gear, and ranking

That means it won't be Instanced.

And you just said the magic words that everyone needs to see:

We have little idea of what 2.0 will bring

So really, all this talk we are doing is just "Speculation"

Making unique zones doesn't mean not instanced...either way I don't care if PVP is isntanced or not.

There is also nothing wrong with speculation.

Nothing wrong yes, But also Speculation can get way out of control, as you are well aware.

do you actually really care about Mun Tuy, shopeshae, copperbell, etc? Are they even still going to be around in 2.0? Odds are any dungeons from here on out will be instanced and SE will focus on roaming NMs/Primals, strongholds and whatever encampments they add for open world content. I mean do you honestly thing SE is going to make everything instanced? Yoshi said he wanted a mixture of both, I think that alone is enough to stop all the speculation.

100% Agreed kind sir!!

Hmmm...maybe just add an option to <Create New Party> <set password>? Then you can screen people who want to join.

Imagine this scenario: Your LS makes an Alliance with an LS on another server. You can setup dates & times on your web pages and set a password (or distribute in-game).

Our Blog Pages could have a Calendar where we mark events and announcements go to anyone who Follows you.

I think it's possible to have cross-server friends that are as good (if not better) than some Linkshells. Just don't talk trash about anybody cuz a miss-tell can ruin you, trust me, I know.
