Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Rentahamster]

I want a challenge because of challenging content, not because of a cap that forces my level 50 PGL to run through content as a level 30.

Which is why the cap is there, because the content is designed to be played by rank 25 characters, specifically, and be challenging to those players. You can't have the same battle content be challenging to both low and high rank players at the same time.

Especially if I want to run through something just for fun's sake.

There's the problem of players using their rank 50 characters to blaze through the dungeons to equip their rank 30 classes, instead of actually earning those items the normal way.

What I want to know is if there's a level cap on the rank 25 dungeons. If I can get 4 rank 50 players and ransack the whole place in 10 minutes, that would be kinda dumb.

Thats actually a good question. It does state "Rank 25 or higher" and nothing about a cap. Maybe items wont be worth while to people so high, and they'll stay away or change jobs/classes?

Have to wonder why the rank 25 area is surrounded by rank 50 aggressive mobs, but I was able to solid snake my way there..

Enemies among other things are supposed to be adjusted with 1.18 as well.

Other things = stuff that fits with the battle system overhaul (equipment stats, character stats actually having an effect on things, enemies being changed to suit the new battle system as well as an overall stat adjustment, class skills being adjusted, etc.).

You're basing this on what? Do you have a link?

I guess he/she is talking about those glitched videos from awhile back. Honestly, we dont know if they are taking so long because they redid alot of the internal structure of the dungeons as well.

@people complaining about reused maps: LOL why wouldn't they use the maps that were going to be used for dungeons? That would be such a waste of developed content. If you wanted another new area you'd have to wait another several months for that, and I don't think that would settle so well with all the people whining about the content taking too slow.

@people assuming these dungeons are going to be garbage: Yet another example of failed reading comprehension by the FFXIV community.

An array of rich rewards awaits dauntless adventurers who would brave these forsaken domains, and can be obtained by vanquishing formidable foes, fulfilling certain conditions within the area, and, of course, plundering treasure chests.

Like others had said, this sounds like a salvage type of deal. You go in and the paths you choose will lead you to different outcomes. It sounds like there will be certain puzzles of sort (conditions) to spawn different monsters. It also sounds like there will be multiple notorious monsters within the dungeon similar to what FFXI has seen. (Also note we have almost all of FFXI's old dev team leaders so I would not be surprised if the dungeons were similar to those of FFXI that everyone loved so much)

Recently, however, word has arrived by way of leaked intel that troops of foreign origin have seized occupation of the Darkhold for an as-yet unknown end.

Also on the note of having copy and paste mobs, yeah from the pictures it appears that's true. But also what are these "troops of foreign origin" maybe garleans? I don't about everyone else, but I think that would be cool fighting garleans and their machinery. Though it may not be garleans, but could be some mobs not yet added in to the game. Usually in the lore I feel they would say specifically what mob type it was if we've seen it before, but this foreign origin thing makes it sound as if it's something new.

Also, please don't whine about the "copy/paste" armor that's there. The last NM patch introduced 40 new pieces of equipment in which a decent amount were indeed not "copy/paste." I feel the FFXIV community right now in general is just complaining too much without even knowing what is actually going to happen.

I really hope they didn't just use those blocked off dungeons that already in the game. Adding more copy-pasted areas is not the way to go.

[Spitfire]

I like to read these posts backwards that way I don't know what you people are talking about...

Yes its green does that make it copy/paste? not by a long shot, Reserve judgement till release

There are videos of people 'cheating' or glitching into these areas already, we know what they look like.
