QUICK! Bring back chocobo escort and hamlet defense!

[Felis]

Escorts could be on scheduled timers (staggered by zone) and hamlet defense could be either dynamic or timer dependent for spawn, but let them over lap with hunt spawn timers.

Just do escort how it was during 1.0. Let the next begin 10 minutes after the current escourt end. And there should be a limit of 8 participants each escort round (they don't need to be in a party). Maybe also doing it that you need to wait 30 minutes to join the next escort after finishing one, so that not the same people do it again and again and other people can also join, like they did with behest.

I'd love to see Hamlet defense but since the Garlians magically don't exist anymore once you complete the story... <_<

Garleans never attacked the hamlets. It was the beastmens. Goblins attacked Aleport, Ixals attacked Hyrstmill and the Amalj'aa attacked Golden Basar.

Chocobo escort is already in the game in the form of FATE, and Hamlet defense somehow too,

Escort FATEs are ingame, where you need to protect an NPC. But I never saw a Chocobo escort FATE, where you need to protect Chocobos, feed them if they take dmg and comfort them if they are in panik. Where they can lose bags and you get less points if not all bags get delivered.

If people want Choobo escort, they want it like it was in 1.0, like a mini-game. Not like a FATE with no control or tactic.

With the mess that the hunt system is currently in, other forms of open world content with similar rewards should be introduced.

snip

Present players with a choice over multiple forms of content that gives similar BALANCED rewards.

looks like a lot of people are missing the point.

The problem isn't the content but the reward, currently, hunt is the only thing that gives allied seals, thus people zerg it (déja vu?)

Maybe english isn't your first language? Go back and read his OP again.

Maybe english isn't your first language? Go back and read his OP again.

I think he just want easier ways to obtain the rewards.

[Phyllo]

indeed but that is not the problem, the thing is everyone talks about how annoying these contents were but not even mentioning the problem of the reward.

and no I don't want easier ways to obtain the rewards, if you are talking about me Dannythm, I dont really give a damn about allied seal because the reward isn't worth the hassle imo.
the 110 gear will soon be replaced so i dont see the point in farming for sands and oils, I join my friend's party every now and then because i'm bored and dont have anything else to do these days, otherwise i just ignore hunt, it's boring and the reward is not worth it, again.

so no, again, I don't want the reward to be easier to obtain, but I do think that having only one content giving it is not really a good idea.


now, because I know that my english is far from being perfect, i did re-red the op, same conclusion; every single statement of his contains the same thing; asking for multiple ways to obtain the allied seals.
His motive is totally irrelevant to me, be it having fun hunting monsters without a horde of players or just to have easier ways to obtain seals, the fact is, I agree that having only one content giving this kind of reward can only lead to zerg rush.

You and many others are free to enjoy hunt as it is just as i and many others are free not to enjoy zerg rushes

Edit: Again, in case you're talking about me, if i wanted easy seals, I wouldn't mention making different content with the reward, breaking the zerg chain would only make hunts more difficult to spot and kill ( it wouldn't take 2 seconds anymore) since it would actually make it harder to get seals.
The reason i'm playing this game is for fun, not reward, i wouldn't mind huntmobs taking 10 mins to defeat for the same reward if it actually was fun.

Make both Hamlet defence and chocobo escort work like FATE, difficulty is dynamic based on how maybe people currently occupy the "bubble" don't place resitrctions on participation.

And screw 1.0 hamlet defense. That was the worst, even more so than the cluster that in the hunt.

Just make waves of mobs after mob attack with a large boss at the end. none of that crafter crud.

I was with you until you said no more crafters in Hamlet Defense. Having the waves of mobs followed by a boss in a FATE already exists (Highbridge and Dark Devices come to mind), but DoL/DoH could definitely use some content like 1.0 Hamlet Defense.
