2.0 fears.

[Arque]

Hmmm what I fear most about 2.0. I would say not getting credit where credit is do. I have seen se hit the lowest number of players with it. ie crafters restarting with zero synths to get reward we all know only one's this helped are botters.And yes I know there are crafters trying for this on there own .they also tried this with server merg but when the forums came down on them like a seal team they backed off. But it is the whole not giving credit where credit is do is what I most fear from se and 2.0.

It wasn't *that* bad...just a touch of opening sarcasm lol. But really I do tire of that complaint...and I always tend to run into it.

Oh but the point is not to complain! You see, you miss the true beauty of this thread.
It's to build a cushion for us to fall back on when 2.0 finally does hit. Merely predictions and speculation, nothing more.

Only difference you may see is that the focus is predicting bad things that will not happen. The problem with the "What do you want to see in 2.0!!!" threads is that they tend to overhype. I am trying to underhype it so much, that when 2.0 comes out, we will all be amazed and bewildered!

Of course, this can backfire if dev take our comments and concerns way too seriously, but I believe they can use this as a "Don't do this to us bro!" kind of list.

Well i dont think they can do miracles, but i know it will have lots of stuff that SE isnt telling....

[AlaulaTheGreat]

Ahh, another fear...
Square Enix can't preform miracles. ; ;

2.0 will disappoint those who think magical unicorns exist and dreams happen over night.

PV, I normally agree with you... but this time... if you're implying that unicorns don't exist.... well... thats just an awful thing to say....
What if magical unicorns went around saying people didn't exist? how would you feel then?

The biggest thing i'm worried about still (and even now) is the lack of content. If 2.0 launches with a graphics overhaul and no new content (or limited new content) it will fall flat. There's only two patches left from now until the tentative beta 2.0 launch. That's a long stretch of time for content. Why would I want to get on 2.0 with hardly any new content?

I also want too see more variety of zones that have imagination. I'm tired of the basics used time and time again in all of these MMORPGs. I want to see fantasy. I would like to fear my surroundings, and that of my enemy. Neither of these exist in 1.0. The floating lakes of Sian Sian sound amazing, and I would really love to explore that place.

Lastly and probably the biggest of all my concerns is the main scenario. Simply put: It sucks. This is not a Final Fantasy storyline, and I really want to see them scrap it and start over. They had really good quality story-lines with CoP, ToAU, and WoTG (especially). The normal quests don't have enough cut-scenes, and the rewards are beyond lackluster. Experience points? Woot, oh wait i'm 50 already. I would like to be rewarded with recipes, new quests, key items. I don't care really.

It's really hard to not get extremely excited for 2.0 because it is the second chance to make this MMO into the amazing game that it should have been. However I also know that I got my hopes up once, and I got kicked in the groin with the original FFXIV launch.

I agree... imaginative zones please.... great story.. yes...

The thing I'm a bit worried about is how they'll handle map exploration with regards to existing characters. If the map needs to be traveled to be drawn (or maybe bought to get a full version faster?), what will happen with all the aetherites we've already visited? I can imagine camps having the same names, but newly positioned, but would it make sense to allow people to quick-travel to things they haven't really visited yet but at the same time have?

technically you don't teleport to an area... you teleport to a node... so if the node still exists... then it's possible we'll still be able to teleport to it....
Unless, of course, the coming disaster disrupts aetherial energy, making it so you have to re-attune to each of them....
Either way could be made to make sense within the lore

I believe every time we as a community comes up with an idea, we get a bland, "Coming in 2.0"

In fact, it's so common to hear, even the players themselves have started to say it like, "Ooh! Maybe in 2.0!"

I know 2.0 is gonna be big, but then maybe a week after it finally settles in, we'll say to ourselves. "This.... is it?"

So I wanna beat the sadness to the punch! Put on your future goggles and say how 2.0 will disappoint you.

Pointless thread is pointless~

Remember Ver 2.0 will be a new release. Granted it should be better then most new releases being as it will an additional 2 years of developement with player input but it will still be a new release. You will truely know how good this game will be when they start releasing expansions to flesh out the game. If these enhance and develope the game properly then we will have a winner.

i'm picturing 2.0 coming and going and crystal towers finally gets implemented and it's a cheesy ass 16man endgame and then i will quit for good and never play a SE mmo or any other type of game for that matter that they make or buy out from other companies making there games.

or that they finally implement new jobs and i'll be max level on them in 5minutes cause pl'ing still is the same, or they raise the cap and people are still pl'ing there way to 99 on all jobs in a week.

I'm expecting 3 things from 2.0

1. Fast servers
2. UI menu system with common sense
3. Some kind of endgame content that takes time to accomplish (not low drop rates, but a series of things that eventually lead to a rare prize)
