Will Maat make a comeback in ARR?

[darkm0d]

This instantly brought me back to my first Matt fight as WHM. Walked in totally prepared, fully confident, positive I hadn't forgotten anything...

Matt Cast's silence.

Oh... So I did forget one thing.....

I'd be down for it. It gave my gf hell on bard and I hated having to watch her struggle, but ultimately it's a great and fun way to truly know you've achieved something. I really feel like XIV pales in comparison to XI in difficulty and challenge, so I would not mind them upping the ante just a tad.

The Maat fight was something I really enjoyed, it was like being prepped before a big boxing match and you have your friends in the back cheering you on. That little moment when everything was you vs this guy, you really felt awesome coming out of that fight as the winner.

I actually wouldn't mind if the relic quest was a huge personal quest/mission towards your ultimate weapon, not easy by any means but something that can only be done by you alone. Like in the movie 300 when you are sent out alone and the ones that come back are the true warriors.

I like to fight Maat-like content.

But I hate to farm the required items each time I lose like FFXI....

[Kavaskous]

I like the idea of solo instances/fights of any sort for players. There needs to be a lot more solo content overall in this game, but this Maat idea would be a good start.

No.

If Maat comes back, I will throw this game into an incinerator. There is NO reason a grind should be accompanied by stupid quests that involve heavy RNG - getting papyrus, testimonies, etc. All of that stupid **** can stay with XI.

...Do you play XIV? lol

Cait Sith originated from 7, not 11. Cait Sith ACTUALLY being a cat and not a puppet, well, that's from 11, I guess.

I know where Cait Sith originated from (VI if you want to be technical based on appearance), her XI persona was popular considering WotG storyline was pretty good when they finally finished it after releasing this game.

I see people are brining up the farming of the items for the maat figth, I think most of us who liked the fight liked the Maat fight and not the farming to have the right to fight. I agree to no for farming those kinds of items but I'm in favour of having these types of quests like the Maat fight.

This is what people are taking about, its the people who hate XI or never played XI are bringing up the things people say they hated all the while ignoring that XIV has the worst RNG in comparison.

I can go into Dynamis solo and make more progression in 2 hours towards something than I can make spamming hamlet or AV/CC depending on if I'm favored or not by the RNG gods.

If they did the fights would have to be a lot more balanced out.

I had a SAM and the fight was a joke, plenty of vids that show how to beat him in mere seconds. Other classes had to go out and farm rare expensive gear/items and the fights took forever. The fight should be hard but in a utilizing your class properly kinda way. I don't wanna spend a month off leveling just to farm cash for items so that i can level more, that to me sounds like extra grind on top of level grinding.

[Elexia]

That's more of a balance issue with the jobs, not the fights. SAM was and always will be overpowered lol.

I like the trial idea, but instead of a one-size-fits-all approach (like Maat in FFXI), perhaps you would fight your guild leader (in a special room in your guild) to progress.

In fact. I think it would be pretty cool if all quest caps after 50 would culminate in a battle vs progressively higher ranking officers in your guild -- until the 99 cap where you get to fight your guild leader.
