Please bring back the DoH/DoL vision of 1.0

[Allyra]

LOLWAT no. Never. PvP and airships never had anything to do with each other at any point in time. Yes, there will be basements in housing, and yes we will eventually be able to craft airships and boats and such in the basement of our houses. There will indeed be PvP, matter of fact it's comming in 2 weeks alongside housing. However, the "original concept" -excuse me??- for PvP was NEVER going to involve mid air fights in airships. There will be 2 forms of PvP: Frontlines, and Wolves Den. Please look forward to it?

Frontline and Wolves Den are creations by Yoshi-P's team. I am talking about Tanaka's comments from way WAY back in the day before even 1.0 BETA existed.

As for those that didn't like Halmet:

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, I am not one to argue about that kind of thing. However, whether you feel Hamlet was a solid event or not, it should not curb the overall concept of putting DoH/DoL into other aspects of the game. It sounds like people's beef with Hamlet has little or nothing to do with having crafters/gatherers there. They are not necessarily what made it boring to you.

I'm shocked there aren't FATEs that utilize crafters and gatherers, similar to Hamlet Defense.

Agreed. I suppose most people came to dislike Hamlet Defense mainly because it had to be done over and over again to get drops for the Relic quest -- not because the battle itself was bad.

Hamlet Defense was refreshingly different and could actually be completed in different ways -- even with a full party of only DoW/DoM. It's just that the 1 tank, 1 WHM, 3 DoH, 2 DoL method seemed to be the easiest/most efficient way, and therefore became the standard party make up.

I hope they bring it back as alternative content, but without turning it into a necessary grinding activity for everyone.

Throwing in my support because I dearly miss my 1.0 fishing.

Hamlet was the most ridiculously boring event there was, especially having to do it near perfect and about 100 times to get your seals. Can't remember how many times I almost fell asleep on miner grabbing green or blue shit for 20 minutes.

[Mook_Mook]

hamlet was the worst

[BlueMage]

Obviously we shouldn't have any events such as FATEs that have ways for Disciples of the Hand/Land to participate, because Hamlet Defense sucked.

Stay in your crafting ghettos in the city, crafters!

[Otoha]

The bad thing about Hamlet was, you were forced to use DoL/DoH to get enough points for seals.

All crafting needs right now is a couple of things. Specialization, need to be able to specialize in 1 craft and have recipies that require multiple specialized mats from other crafts to promote buying/selling between crafters because right now there is no need to since everyone has every craft/gathering class. And the other thing is Coil gear needs to have sockets. Not only because it would revitalize the materia/melding market but it would give you some real incentive to goto coil other then just to cap accuracy on tank or because you prefer determination over crit on your healer.

On a side note if they do specialization of a craft they need to limit it to 1 on all your characters per server so people are not leveling up 8 different characters and we run into the same problem with everyone having everything. The items made from specialization would also need a real place in the game unlike crafting now. And a relic quest for your specialized craft would be a nice bonus.

NO! PLEASE DON'T!

I can actually tolerate crafting post 2.0. In 1.0, I felt like I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than craft.


...and really? Hamlet Defense? Oh god. Make it stop.
