Skirmish - When will we see it return?

[Dhex]

Just wondering if anyone missed Skirmish from the later v.1.0 patches;


For those that don't know what Skirmish was - you gathered a small team of people from the same nation and registered with Storm Captain Loetahlsyn who shipped you out of Limsa Lominsa's Lower Decks to fight a gauntlet of notorious monsters on either Locke's Lie or Turtleback Island.

You won the Giantsgall weapons for successfully completing the duty (now craftable?) - 30min. maximum.

I miss the areas most of all; but the style of content was fun too - fighting huge pumped up specialty monsters in a gauntlet setting was pretty cool.

(Yes the old combat is slower.)

Turtleback Island

Locke's Lie


I hope that they don't completely forget Skirmish... maybe they will let us visit these areas as new arenas with objective variants for PVP in the future or something?

I was wondering about this as well. Although guildhests seem very similar to this system, but without the varying rewards.

God I miss FFXIV 1.23. I really enjoyed that combat system.

Never heard of this...but now I want it!

Seems kinda fun, but I would prefer to see hamlet implemented first.
Also I have heard that in Golden Saucer there will be some kind of arena where you will be able to fight bosses. Probably alone but it is still close enough.

I miss that and 1.23 battle system

Seems kinda fun, but I would prefer to see hamlet implemented first.

I will kill myself irl if hamlet returns the same it was in 1.0. Can't count the amount of times I fell asleep doing that content.
