Tougher Locations

[Shamo_Lomenzo]

You can't 'usually' run into an enemy stronghold and single handedly annihilate every single enemy either, but in FFXIV no one seems to have a problem with that.

"Oh, those Ixali that everyone fears? Yeah, I totally just wiped out their entire colony..."

I prefer it that way. I don't want to have to gather up a party just to get through one map without dying. Believe it or not there are times that I want to play alone in an MMO (ie: main story quests, leves, etc.) and being forced to party up just to get through a zone to get to where I need to be is annoying and stupid to me.

I personally hate this idea with a passion.

I just want to get to where I'm going and do what I need to do there. If I'm required to have to kill 20 monsters on my way there with the possibility of death, it's gonna be a major pain in the ass to do anything in this game. This is what dungeons are for, you (usually) can't just run right passed all the mobs straight to the boss room.

That's not what I want either, as that's not what I do now anyway because I'd prefer to just sneak past them. But I'd like to be sneaking past them out of fear of knowing they could whoop my ass if they wanted to, not because they going to give me Heavy and make me listen to the damn battle music.

I don't know how that would work, since most people don't travel together much usually solo.

Though if they can work it where you have to in a open world area content that has to be helped by people "all the time"

I say "all the time" because if it don't its a bad idea, because people who beat that content wont come back if they find it to annoy them or too tough.

I do want open world content though least mix it up, dungeons are getting dragged out.

I could work with both dungeon and open world. I would say make some Notorious monsters that have a low drop rate of a item like ffxi that's what I wanna see and don't make it rare/ex I like competing versus others for items.

I think that's kind of the point, at least I took it to be. People don't want to be able to storm imperial bases or beastmen strongholds single-handedly. It would be nice to actually need help sometimes in the open world.

I like this idea.

Agree! Take a mechanic from Xenoblade and have some monsters appear during certain circumstances that is 50-60lvls higher than the player characters just standing there ready to blow them up if they accidently aggro them. Make their drops REALLY good aswell if some !!!!!!!GROUP!!!!!!!!! manages to beat so it is a fight worthy for the top FCs/LSs to tackle.

just getting new areas would be nice...instead of more dungeons......and more dungeons....need something a little different. Good thing new ct is coming soon.....kinda different I guess.

In Final Fantasy 12, zones like the Necrohol of Nabudis, The Feywood, or Nabreus Deadlans would be great for ARR. Mist covered and claustrophobic, high level enemy full areas where you cannot see far and minimaps/maps do not work.

Another suggestion is a location like the Great Crystal from FF12 where you get no navigational help in repeated, identical zones.

This is very interesting. I like the lore behind it. If the public had access to challenge somewhere like this, this would be great!
