Beach Area (Can I Have it?)

[Matsume]

Hi Matsume,

Totally agree. Last year when that one excellent forum poster started the thread about World Map Redesign (and the current blandness), I had posted up a thought similar to yours:

SE should've had one of the Guildleve Camps (when they were the focus) be *at* South Bloodshore Beach Area. For those that haven't been there, it's a nice stretch of Beach & Ocean that's unfortunately currently populated with Snippers that can one shot players and home of the infamous Snurble. If they moved different mobs in and made an Aetherial Gate / Camp there (instead of at Bloodshore (above)), it would've helped add some diversity.

But since that time, we've gotten the 2.0 announcement and I have faith in Yoshida-san & his Environment Artists to come up with some beautiful, distinct areas!

I'm sure the maps redesign for 2.0 will be great, i just feel like it's wasted on the fact that players PL through 90% of the maps/content...

I know SE plans on implementing new servers for post 2.0 players and PS3 players alike so that they canplay in a fresh world but I'm afraid this will be useless if PLing if allowed. If SE would make new servers without PLing i would honestly consider rerolling...

Yah, I agree. If they kept EXP Rate as fast as it is now (for 2.0) and had the same methods to PL, it'd be totally wasted.

I'm holding out hope from Yoshida-san's comments on the forums that perhaps the accelerated EXP Rate currently is mainly to help new players enjoy the current Max Level Content sooner, and that it'll be slowed down when 2.0 hits.

If 2.0 Launches with New Classes / Jobs, slightly slower EXP Gains for Leveling, and the World Redesign truly features the Landmarks / Unique Characteristics that's being hinted at, etc., nice new Mobs / Camps, that'll be the most anticipated aspect of 2.0 for me.

I'd love to level a new Class / Job when 2.0 launches and play with fellow adventurers exploring the new Eorzea.
