Open World Content.

They need to bring back claimed monsters.

It will just cause the same problems unless the rewards aren't top end.

Pretty sure that the people and I asked for NOTORIOUS monsters and not just push overs

Fought Stinging Sophie this morning with ten people. Took multiple minutes to kill it. Anyone who's actually done hunting will tell you horror stories about the coeurl A-rank in Eastern Thanalan, or the Sabotender Ballerina and her 20,000 points of flat piercing damage AoE.

Claimed monsters can't work in FF14:ARR, simply because the world is too small and the number of people per server is too important.
it will only lead to return of some cheat like the claimbot or other stuff like this. we already see it with the radar some use.

however something that can work is to reword leves for allows people to help the one doing leves and add high level one with big monster.
Faction leves need to be bring back and enhanced... not what we did get.

World is too small, why do you think that is, I think its because you don't have to travel anywhere but just teleport. That make the open world just that much smaller.

Oh snap, Rokien! How have you been?

As for open world content, no, it's still an AoE spam, where it will continue to be so until they completely rework every class to not have those abilities. Only now, you can earn allied seals to buy good gear, so it makes it even more obnoxious how many people are doing it!

Great thank you!! Just been playing other games waiting for other mmos, some of my friends are still playing this game and they try to get me to come back all the time, but I just don't see why I should yet if most of my time is spent spamming or instances. So I thought I should ask you guys if they have fixed any of those problems yet.

Pretty sure that the people and I asked for NOTORIOUS monsters and not just push overs. Lets take a look at 1.0 for a second and its great buffalo. Not only did you have to gather a team for it but it also utilized crafters to make the best gear, unlike this game where crafters are no more than vanity.

I agree that "NM's" are too weak still but only because at prime time 50-100 people are piling on, the S ranks for 4-8 man parties involving force pops wouldn't be a simple pushover unless your whole party is geared at ilvl 100-110.

People would still spam them at 110 probably assuming that at some point SE will give myth etc. some conversion like Philo has.

If your never going to stay currently subbed over crafters not making BiS gear then you never will, Yoshi is never going to do this, dungeon runs at 50 outside of storyline would become irrelevant and the game would probably need to have a major rework, they have already done that (1.0-2.0). Making crafters control BiS at endgame now would only turn the game into FF-Farming online, and you think the world is too small now.

The silver lining of course would be that people might actually stop screaming at people who watch cutscenes but I wouldn't bet on it.

Ilvl90 accessories are already BiS for the most part, and they are priced accordingly, that's probably as good as it's ever going to get for crafters.

Much of the "fixes" that are asked for in this game would require replacing an expansion with an extensive rework that would most likely deliver about the same volume of content we have now, be that in 6 months or even as mentioned maybe a year that wont keep subs either, people outside of hardcore FF fans wont wait for a rework.

No spawn and claim wouldn't work (bots), but what I saw suggested was "force pops", this shouldn't require a lot of effort for SE to do, even with the current world size.

Something similar to the ZNM laddered system in XI would also work while probably requiring more effort on SE's part, the fact is that by the time the expansion does patch these open world hunts will probably be a dim memory at best anyway.

I agree with force pops, spawn and claim, no.

lots of ffxi haters here, hunts are fine, they give high end gear as reward and that's the problem, remove sands, remove oils, halve myths abd remove alex from hunts, and the instanced crowd will go back to their caves.

Don't forget no one asked for coil gear in open world, thas a big fail from SE, not what ppl asked.

And if you want ppl to stop asking for ffxi or ff(insert number here) features, call the game ultimate fantasy or world of fantasy or world final fantasycraf.

Yeah GREAT IDEA!!!! People already get abused for pulling early if this came in the already toxic part of hunts would be amplified 1000%

What's wrong with some claimed monsters, I see no problem with it. What's wrong with competition, either way there are bots on the game now that are making it unfair for other players, so should they just resort to botting? No, only losers do that. Some of the best moments I've had with FFXi is fighting over an NM or over claiming some people trying to take over our camp. I love competition in the pve realm and not just the pvp area. I mean it's not all roses and butterflies out there, i guess it should be, because the world itself doesn't appose any real threat outside of players verbally abusing one another. There are many cool ideas that they could do.

Leve system is a fantastic area to bring in awesome hard NMs

PoP monsters that only claim to you.

Open world NMs first come first serve.

What's wrong with this game is that they SHOW you everything and hold your hand through everything. The reason why every area gets spammed by people when an event happens is because A. It tells you HEY COME HERE TO SPAM AOE. B. Teleporting everywhere makes actual traveling non existent. What's the point in airships again?
