    What new mission types would you like to see?

    Some I haven't seen in ARR that I'd like to see are:

    -Get to point A to point B without being caught by enemies or setting off any alarms or traps.

    -Get godlike powers and be able to completely destroy hordes of enemies. Instance battle, of course. Maybe one of the Twelve can lend your their power to protect a special NPC or something along those lines. I know it's just killing, but to feel like an absolute badass for one quest would be cool. More badass than I normally feel, of course. Maybe you could transform into a primal or summon a primal god for this quest...or maybe one of the twelve

    -Set up defenses and ensure enemies can't get to your base. You could set up friendly NPCs, build cannons, set traps, and maybe some Chocobo along a path. They stay wherever you put them and attack enemies as they come. Tower defense!

    A stealth mission I feel would be pretty annoying considering the detection monsters have in this game.
    I'd love a Tower Defense style one though, preferably something better than Hamlet.

    Your first one technically already exists in CM - walk in the spotlights and you're blasted by the airship floating above, and extra mobs are dispatched. Your second one sounds just like an excuse of e-peen stroking. And the floodgates would be opened from stupid people 'demanding' SE give such powers outside such a hypothetical instance. Besides, your character has the Echo, they're already wielding God-like powers
    after all, in the final battle in the Praetorium, Lahebreha actually states outright the player has powers "beyond that of a mortal."
    It's not necessary.

    Your final idea though sounds like what SE is already planning with the Frontlines PvP system, and I admit, it is an interesting concept. That's something I felt Campaign in FFXI never had - that all the battlements and artillery at Campaign forts was just there for show.

    Yeah, but if you get caught in CM, there aren't any real penalties. The damage you take from the airships is minuscule and the enemies that pop are very weak. I'm talking about if you get caught then you fail the mission. Maybe enemies come out to capture you and put you in their prison. You would have to memorize enemy patterns to avoid being caught....Zelda style!

    My only gripe about any kind of stealth mission is just one of broken immersion.

    My dumb ass isn't sneaking past anybody in the armor I wear, unless they're blind, deaf, and intensely stupid.

    I want.. a zombie like quest. Where you can't kill the zombies and they'll keep rushing to destroy you. Hahaha.

    I don't see stealth missions working in this game that well, they had these missions in The Secret World and they were the most frustrating missions ever. I really don't want to go through that again.

    However I think tower defense would be fun and could use DoH/DoL classes to help out. This can be something like Besieged, but a nice new and up to date.

    Other than that, I think most of the missions are fine but some overworld quests that involve parties to complete would be welcome
