Will you quit if this game becomes raid-centric?

[PikachuLink]

No i will be happy to have raids and end game content based around raids....its a effin mmo....stop complaining thats what mmo's do go play a fps is you dont want raids dropping best gear.... go do something else jebus.....mmo's will always focus on multiplayer raids and gear that comes from endgame stuff

[Synthesis]

only radis, raids and radis would kill the game eventually. I think yoshi is aware of this and more content will be put aside. I did 30 dungeon 1x just to complete quest.

i will qiut, i dont feel like waiting hours to do one thing.

weird i remember lots of the best gear in ffxi from outside raids...
like byakkos haidate, the haste belt thing, af pieces, the awesome brd body, emps hairpin, leapin boots,
For almost every job in ffxi you got your equip from a mix of gods, hnms/nms, ksnms/bcnms, quests, large raids, small raids, unlocking though use. Point is it wasnt ALL raids. Having a mix is great. having all raids makes this WoW

Yeah I guarantee that once they implement new areas no new overworld mobs/NMs will be included. So this game is gonna be raid-central for sure.

That was sarcasm of course, speculation is the name of the game in this thread I guess.

Yoshida said he wants to avoid competition. So how do you have nms without competition? If NMs are like now where they have like 1/5 drop rate everyone will get the best gear and get bored fast again. Open world competition is generally competitive. From what hes said it really sounds like the game will become raid-centric like almost every other MMO out there in order to avoid that competition.

Yeah reading into what the devs say is always the way to go. He definitely made it sound this way that way yada yada yada

I'll quote myself in case you want ideas (they're not that great but better than waaah)

Randomize spawn points on open world NMs within a limit, so that a full party isn't instantly grouped together at pop.

Make more than one NM pop at the exact same time so that even though a claim is missed another mob (or several lesser mobs) can be taken down for semi-decent drops, even if pop is in mor dhona and other NM is in shroud.

Fix the thing(sorry haven't tested recently if this is still around) where if you claim and die your pt members can't group up while you lay there and it stays claimed.

At the very least, it should de-drama some situations because if you want people on the internet to be civil, you need to go off the grid.

Those are off the top of my head. Maybe instead of waiting for an instance I can play the game. I'm fairly sure an overworld NM isn't as difficult to create as a dungeon (don't quote me on that).

I will not quit the game if it becomes raid-centric but they need to be good fun raids. Please no more long halls where I run from everything and stand in blue circles and try to fight a grand total of 2 bosses while trying my hardest to avoid every other living thing in the instance.

This. They tried to make raids "a bit different" from wow etc, and look what we have now... To make them better IMHO, Raids should have a lot more bosses (at least 5-6 per raid) no time.. (it's a no sense for me..) And trash repop after about 1h ? (in wow it was 2-3 hours if i remember well), and first of all harder bosses (batraal is a good start btw) .. So if you wipe, you should try boss over and over .. without do the trash train again and again.. Please don't say that it will become a wow clone etc, Because atm the actual overall raid system it's NOT FUN .. If they want keep the time limit, they should make a distinction from raid, and dungeon .. 1h timer is good for a 4 man dungeon.. But raids should be at least 3-4 hours of gameplay, something that you can do with your ls in 2 days (even 1 with an hardcore one) ..

Raids are boring... rather it be both. Raids are just way too short to be even main endgame armor. Even at the rate of 30mins and 5min to reneter is too short and becomes repetive. Raids need to be more like 2 hours and 24hr reneter. Bring back Salvage kinda content.

It's hard to explain something like this to people who don't read your posts/were bad at XI.

This game won't be worth playing if everything is a gimme-gimme raid like darkhold.
