Skirmishes against the Garleans

[Zhyrios]

well a reason i say a timer is that it helps bring everyone together because everyone knows -when- to be there. i guess instead of a timer though i guess they could make it work how besieged did and make it occur based on different sets of parameters being met.
plus sorta have a countdown to battle once they have been met.
Tension could build gradually over the course of time, and other actions players take in quests and stuff, like killing garlean NPC enemies randomly around Eorzea could speed up the tension buildup, or boost it by a small ammount. the more players do to boost it all over, the sooner those battles come. but there definetely should be a prior warning of maybe, say an hour, prior to battle starting, so that the worlds players can all start making neccisary plans to get out to the battlefield.

If the grand companies of eorzea give out NPC linkpearls like all the other guilds, thats how they could spread the information of an incoming battle.

Yeah is think this is good, how about random attacks from the Garleans in certain territorys or Camps?
As an example: if the Garleans arent stopped and take over a Camp or territory you cant do Quests for that Area or you get only quests to help to free that Area again, which will provoke the Garleans to attack.
Or it will also be a Skirmish like Attack or Defense.

The linkpearl is a good Idea, so everyone will know where and when the Skirmish begins.

Everything sounds good and fun. I vote yes!

I don't think they should lock out quests, that's too much of a limitation in my opinion. There should be increased Garlean activity on the region to make completing the tasks harder, but they should not outright lock them out completely.

That is what i think too, i just threw some ideas out which could be used for others idea or changed e.t.c and of course what most people want/imagine.

I'm bored of grinding through surplus atm so im just gonna have some fun on the forums.

How cool would it be, if once a week/day every 3 days, etc etc, we had a huge battle against the Garleans. Say for example Eorzeans trying to take back control of Ala Mihgo.

Sorta basically the same general system of besieged, but Eorzeans and Garleans fighting over advancing territory.

No player limits like behest, full outright war, anyone can enter, with the companies of eorzea joining in the fray much like the serpent generals in ffxi's besieged.

I think that'd be pretty sweet.

What do you guys think?

Hate to point out but that would get boring real fast if it didnt lead to
anything more than just another way of grinding / fighting.

At 50...there's absolutley nothing fun left to do but run around
killing innocent creatures, kill the Hard NM's ....and well thats it.

If there's no player limit it'd be nice if people who respawned would respawn outside. So the only way to stay in would be waiting for a raise.
