I enjoy the direction this game is going

need? no need for them i want them silly. can't wait to see what brayflox hm is like, or what stone vigil hm or qarn hm will be like. i know they will be fun

well you dont really care about hm you just want new content. new stuff to see. just hm just gives you small amount of that. Its fun its just I rather do something new I didnt do before in last 5 months ago. Including Primals hm, extreme etc. rehashes of the same content. I dont expect people to redo trio extremes next patch unless you need it for a quest or something. Rather them just give it to us with full map size and required item level for the dungeons to begin with. If we cant handle it then we just need to gear up in other locations to handle it then. il55 so low they want other to carry them through content.

I agree with the topic. I enjoy the instanced format this game has adopted. Jump in whenever you please, little obligation (or need) to invest time into content. This is because I've grown quite tired of 'camping parties' and other mind-numbing content that require you invest hours at a time up-front. Whether it's waiting for that NM on a long timer to pop, or waiting in town to get invited to do content, all that adds up to a complete waste...considering people's time grows more & more valuable as they age.

that's all good, but what we want is more options, none is trying to remove instanced content, just give us options to develop our characters in open world, final fantasy has a large fan-base, and not everyone is happy having everything instaced, and not everyone will be happy if they are forced to play open world content.

They can design both, and they should do it, because this direction will fail in the long term.

I agree... it can't be all or nothing. Most people who do in fact enjoy the game feel that themissing link is open world content.

Furthermore, drop rates in the ff series are notorious. Try getting high level non crafted gear in ffxii (zodiak spear) ochiudos kote (sp?) Was no higher than 5%. LOTRO drop rates for epic gear in open and instanced content was awful as well... so yeah op exaggerated but lets not act like none of us have never done that before.

O kote contunes to be best in slot until lv71 still... even after 11 years. Also people found out can obtain zodiak spears in a single shot now someone found out that its not random its based on a set number where you can actually change during gameplay. If your on right number you get zodiak spear when you open the chest. Can change the number with cures or something cant remember anymore.
@12:40 for chest open

I can say the same about you sir...

We need to stop jumping the gun removing lock outs doesn't mean % drops will occur.

they ain't mutually exclusive, you can set up a system like CT as example.

Other systems can be introduced eg per run your loot chance decreases starting off at 100% then to 25% etc.

OR use the Armoury system more effectively.

to me RNG is RNG no mater how you split it, currently i think i have looted 1 item in T1-5 in the last 5 weeks as i havn't had the specific drops i need, this is why they have the token system in place any ways.

This game is going in a great direction the major patches add more content then previous MMORPGS that I've played and went f2p because they only added dlc type content once or twice a year. There are people complaining that this game needs more open world exploration and dangerous mobs that drop epic gear with a 0.05% but they need to stop trying to ruin the game for the general population by adding this elitist garbage when they know they'll leave and move on to the next game. That type of rng content causes the general population to quit in masses and I'm glad Square Enix doesn't listen to the enlist crowd. The most I want in open wold content is a Territorial PvP content where I can take over a zone and do whatever I want to it.

What MMOs did you play?
