Another I love XIV but wish it had this from XI

[DarkRain]

I do love XIV ARR i even enjoyed parts of V1 . So before anyone gets all well go back to XI ( witch i never will ) i just wanted to talk about the things i wish there were in XIV from XI .

The first thing i miss is Notorious Monsters free roaming NMs that popped if you had an item to pop it at a set location or killed a set number of mobs to force pop a stronger version of the trash mob or the free roaming NM that pops every 6 , 12 , 24 ,36 hours. These are not required fights but are fun fights that could be had and even made as an achievement .

Death Penalty . I miss this because it made you try harder it made you put more effort in not dying . It Slowed level progress down a little do to loss exp on death . ( getting a 50 in less then a week is to fast ) It would be nice to add this in to slow level progression .

Weapon Skill Chains and Magic Bursts . I miss being able to link skills with other classes
and making SCs . And watching the BLM time a nice spell to MB. To bad we cant have self Limit Breaks that we can gain on our own then combine them to make even bigger LBs with others .

I wish the EGi's looked as Epic as Xis did . I understand there not the full power of the original Primals . But it would have still have been cool to have them look like smaller versions of the Primal .

This is my list What is yours?

Edit: Wanted to add this again . This game does not have to copy EVERYTHING from XI but it could add the things that worked well in XI just as it uses the things that work well from other MMOs ( like WoW for example witch it has )

I'm sorry, but none of these things won't ever happen. They simply won't..

Yoshi P hates XI. For three years many XI players have been clamoring for things from XI to return but they never did.

Yoshi P does not care at all about the XI player base.

Its not that he hate FFXI, they dont want to take the core things that people like FFXI for and use them all in FFXIV or people that still play FFXI for these things will leave.

I'll respond in bold and caps just because I can.

Ah, you came from WoW when Pandaria came out huh?

Did you like everything being handed out to you? Did you like your hand being held when you played with others? Aw. Hey! Good news! The next expansion is allowing you to get a character to 90 for FREE. That'll make you happy. Because working hard or having content with ANY SORT of repercussions for dying is a no-no, right?

lol I hate to break this down to you guys but WoW Gamers out number FFXI Vets by light years playing this game right now.... Not giving em the edge but it's the truth. To be honest with you as great as XI was, I take it some people haven't moved on from the past yet. That game wasn't hard..... it was more of a timesink 24/48 NMS with a 1% drop rate on the item you want... I wonder who does that besides someone being unemployed >.>

I still don't get why everyone here act like there's nothing out there apart from being either a '10 years of FFXI and nothing else!!' or an 'I come from WoW!!!1111rarooor!' player... (or a mix of both)

a lot of the crap parts of FFXI were found in EVERY MMO back then. afaik even WoW was a lot more 'grindy' in '04 than it is now (I only know what people complain about in the 'general gaming' forums I'm a member of, and there wow-players constantly complain about the same things people from other long-running games complain about)

it's time people realised that 'less people' is not the only reason most MMOs 10 years ago had 300k subs if they were lucky. these discussions? yeah. I still see them pop up in SW:TOR forums sometimes when people whine how SWG was so much better (and that game had a whooping 100k subs a year (!) before it shut down because it couldn't attact new players. old players staying just isn't enough for a game to survive, and in the long time this goes for FFXI, too)

the last thing you want to do is bring stuff the majority of MMO players HATE into a game

And they'll be the first to leave once a new mmo comes out =/

I played XI for nearly a decade (and WoW for about 3 and quit before the last Cataclysm patch) and I agree with her post. Fighting other parties for NMs (or worse, having them MPK you by pulling other mobs to you or screwing with the NM's aggro) was not fun. Losing levels because of dying was not fun. Skillchains and Magic Bursts were interesting, but most people just didn't care about them (unless you were a SAM).

You have to realize, the HNM system in FF11 is not a requirement, but a trophy. It is something for hardcore players to compete with each other. Casual players does not need HNM to process further.

Death Penalty on other hand put a shackle on the community, you wont be able to see people that strip off and keep pulling Garuda/Ifirit/Titan and screw up. It also able to make a community becomes more discplined.
