Rokien's new thread on Open World.

[Rokien]

I think I can speak for every open world lover, we are losing hope, is there anything you can tell/give us? We need something to keep us going, all these instances are wearing on us(us being the open world lovers). I know the poll says "you guys picked instanced" well, that poll was obscured because of the battle content that was also included in it. So, this is me begging for some info about anything cool open world. Something new that isn't in the pdf, something that I can drool over and squeal like a little girl.

So yoshi, can you give us anything? I think a lot of our patients are wearing thin. Especially with this latest patch... reasons I don't think I have to mention.

Ps. Please don't use quest-chaining for our open world content. Quest-chaining is the worst ever.

Also, any new clever thread titles that you guys can give me would be awesome. I'm only using this one as a joke, because my friend Lyndis got banned from the forums for a day with this thread title(not the reason why she got banned).

Server limitations are the cause. 40 characters/monsters displayed at one time maximum.

2.0. New servers should resolve the issue and more content might be "open world"

That's what I'm asking, what do I have to look forward to in 2.0

The last thing I wanna hear is graphical limitations... We already know!

I'm with the OP on this one... we need more open world stuff, it's a good balance (and something different) than doing all this instanced stuff.

Yeah, I'd hate to see Hamlet Defense be open world on our current servers.

It would be a nightmare... no doubt

I 100% believe we'll be getting more open world events after 2.0.

I personally want to see massive PVE field content. As far as PVP goes, (It's been mentioned before but I'll vote for it as well) I'd like to see something like what Ragnarok did with their battles to own locations. Not saying I want to have people take over a location for a set time, but it would be nice to have similar battles. 1 location | multiple groups | a giant battle royal to see who's the last group standing.

With PVE I would love to see more invasion type events like what we have with the garleans. Tons of players fending off invading forces in an open field. Better yet, reverse the rolls. Give us an event where we can capture enemy camps. Sort of like the strongholds we have now, but make it an event where when you win you can actually drive them out from certain camps.

Just my opinion on what I'd personally love to see in game.

Heck, I'm not even asking anything large scale, it can be low man as well or mid man. Just want something. Those roaming NMs that TANAKA put in were amazing. And still fun to kill.
