Rokien's new thread on Hamlet Defense

[Starlord]

5-10 npcs 15 players 10 mobs at a time(really hard to kill) they could have made it worked

#1 You don't have a clue how many people will play Hamlets unless your psychic, and also the first week, especially the first day everyone is going to WANT to try out this new content.. so your going to figure 200+ people going to be at the Hamlets doorstep wanting to try out it's content. So no this would not be able to work on a first week post 1.22 Basis! ( and this is all on based that you want this content Non-Instanced)

#2 You don't know how many NPC will be participating in the Hamlets (the Screenshot that says " Militia Survivors" says 10, that means there could very well be more then 10 NPC, since you have to keep them alive also)

#3 You don;t know how many Monsters are going to be popping out at once ( First wave 25 weak Pawns Second wave 15 mid-hard mobs, third wave 10 Hard mobs) we don;t even know whats in store with any of this.

But one thing is for certain though... you cannot sit here and tell me that only 15 players are going to show up at the Hamlets Defense..

and besides 8 ppl + 10 or more NPCs and 10+mobs at a time isn't much of a difference as 15 ppl + 10 or more NPCs and 10+mobs at a time... there isn't really much of a difference if that's what you are implying.

Instances suck for my play style. I don't have time to wait and join instances of 8 people who want you to commit to X number of runs.

I was really expecting something more like campaign.... /sigh

I'm just about done with this game really. Haven't played in a week or so.... its just going the wrong direction. {Too bad.}

[Morticous]

Yup. Nothing was worse in Besiged than dying to Mijin Gakure spam from mobs you didn't know we're around you.

If it being instanced allows for coordinated tactics and gameplay we can actually respond to then so be it.

I didnt have lag issues.

It's not like Yoshi-p has a Choice in the matter.. With the current Server Structure.. this is what we have to deal with till 2.0. In 2.0, Yoshi-p will have Choices to go by.

Thing is FF is going to attract what kind of player... oh a FF PLAYER, THEY NEED TO STICK WITH THEIR FANS FIRST

Their fans who grew up playing single-player console games?

Clearly they're the crowd that would be attracted to claim wars and camp fests.

Still remember spending three hours staring at my screen in FFVI waiting for Kefka to spawn...

I didnt have lag issues.

So you're suggesting that you saw every mob, player and NPC in a Beseiged? Because its not a matter of lag. The game was capped as to how many characters could be shown.

FFXI, how many ffxi players would have liked ffxi-2, they could have even made it a little more casual, that's fine but it would have been a successful game.

Actually i kinda agree wit Rokien. Alittle open world here would be nice. As for ppl saying besiege, we learned to adapt to it, just like we did in 11, just like we did for ifrit in here. For casual players it wouldve been nice if like say "oh i only have 20 mins before i have to get ready for work. Oh ill just kill a few mobs in Hamlet and leave." if it was open world. No now you have to wait for a party to get ready for instances. And im NOT saying get rid of instances i love them. just not everything has to be instanced.

[bobbygunz]

In Strongholds, you get like 3 parties and 30 mobs in the same area, so what's the big deal with these "limitations" anyway. Seems like just another excuse to make an instance.

The closer you are to Japan.. the less lag you will get.
