Game Systems/wasted potential: discussion

[Aleo]

In this thread talk about the various game systems (dungeon/fate/log etc) that you feel are under utilized, and share your suggestions on new ideas, particularly for end game.


Hunting Log:

I mentioned this in another thread and it got quite a few thumbs up so ill put it here:

So the hunting log is good in the way it gets players out and around the world instead of staying in cities.

Any chance of adding a "bonus" hunting log at max level which gives players a random list of monsters to hunt that changes each week and gives rewards (ie. philosophy tomes, GC seals, myth tomes etc)

Levequests/guildhests:

- Add once a week "master" leve/guildhests for level 50 chars that reward mythology tomes/gil.
- Perhaps scale existing guildhests for this "master" version to level 50 so they aren't just "do it once then never again".
- The primal fights could be part of these master guildleves as well.


Low level dungeons for high level chars:

- Low level dungeons should rewards some philosophy/mythology tomes for characters with a level 50 class
- Allow players to earn this reward even if playing a different class at low level so we can contribute to mythology cap/philosophy tomes with secondary classes.


Fun/silly challenges with Achievements/rewards

- Beat Ifrit with all party members wearing a cascadier outfit
- Beat Titan HM/extreme with no deaths and all players performing a /doze emote during the final phase
- etc.

Fishing has a lot of wasted potential. It can be much more than it is, but it's so simplistic. Get lure, hit button, done.

Additions of a mini game, uses for fish through crafts/housing, perhaps tournaments would make it a lot more exciting.

Also FATE needs to be deleted from the game.

snip.

These are great ideas. I especially would like to see incentive to run the lower dungeons again.

I have limited play time but also enjoy helping others complete dungeons without making them use DF. I really get nothing out of it. Selfishly, I would like to get at least something.

These are all great ideas.

I run low level dungeons and guildhests with my friends to help them while leveling up but I hate to think that much of this content was developed with only a 1-time use intended.

It would be great to have random weekly content and hunting logs (although it should sync you to the mob level for credit to keep a swarm of lvl 50s from coming in and killing all the low level player's mobs all week).

I don't think its too selfish to want some reward to help others, particularly for low level dungeons encouraging players to run these may in some cases help new players find faster groups, and also help those high levels from getting bored just spamming Amdapor.
