[QUOTE=Abriael;95471]You're the one that might not have done them all (as I did) before and after the patch. Otherwise you would have noticed that not all NMs have been made easier. The great buffalo has been quite drastically made more powerful, with the damage it inflicts sizably increased. Of course, it's still not a very complex fight, but it's definitely harder than before.
In ANY and EVERY MMORPG simpler encounters are implemented first, and then more complex ones are implemented later, as the battle system gets more honed and finalyzed. It's been like that in FFXI, it's like that in FFXIV, and in every other MMO out there.



Sry but i have to say that you are totally wrong, since the only thing we do (me and my Ls) in game is NM and crafting...

So, maybe the NMs on my server are easier... <_<

about the more complexing fights later on .... i hope you are right....

FFXIV-hope-online!!

I honestly don't see a need for a "hardcore server" then again it would also seem like we're trying to segregate people just like america used to do back in the old days because of race. It does seem pretty ridiculous that people have their own "special" treatment because they play the game differently from others. Also I have to say this like some other people have been saying. THIS. IS. A. GAME. A game that is meant to be enjoyed and have fun not to have people griping and complaining over because they're not getting what they think they need or because people aren't playing the same way the others are. So again why have a segregated server for the hardcore?

Not sure how any of those suggestions are considered hardcore. Permadeath and corpse looting to me is hardcore.

Now if you would have titled this thread as "Request for an INCONVENIENT server" It would make much more sense to me.

and "6] all items (including NM & mob drops) tradable / sellable besides starter gear like underwear, starter weapon, etc." is like the opposite of "Hardcore".

Yep. I'm surprised they didn't include "removal of the search function from the market wards", "Any kind of transportation methods like chocobos and airships shall never be implemented", "removal of the ferry ride between uldah and limsa, replaced by ironman-style ocean swimming" and so forth.

Depends is it hardcore? Or would the minefields be too far below for it to even make an impact on the person doing the swimming?

Actually, I'm afraid I need to withdraw the idea of mines completely. It would add a gameplay elements to the trip, which is obviously bad. Hardcore timesinks need to be properly devoid of gameplay elements and enjoyment to be truly hardcore!
Look forward to it!
