Besieged

[Battlewrench]

Man besieged was so fun....buuut I don't think it would work well with what we have now. Sad we can't have cool things that aren't controlled scripted instanced content. Fun as some of the content is.....well you know.

Thats what im talking about. In Ishgard it'd make sense. And it'd add more open world content. Hopefully if its done right it wouldnt make people as angry as hunts do. It could also be a way of lvling to 60 as i remember Besieged in XI gave EXP and rank in the city. It'd be cool

Ah right, Besieged, that thing where you got one-shotted by something you couldn't see due to player/enemy density in the zone, and nothing showed in your battle log because you couldn't see it.

"Huh, I'm charmed now."
"Huh, I'm petrified now."
"Huh, I'm dead now. Wish I could see what's doing all this."
"Hope somebody can see my dead body and bothers to raise me before time runs out."
"Crap, time ran out. No exp or Imperial Standing for me. Well, there's an hour wasted."

I actually liked Besieged, but it was definitely too ambitious for a platform like PS2, and even for most PC players at the time. Is it too ambitious for current platforms? I guess that depends on how you feel about Behemoth or Odin fights. I think that Besieged would be very similar in terms of player density. If you find Odin or Behemoth to be unplayable, Besieged would be much the same...

Besieged was fun... when I wasn't lagged out... Something like that could be interesting in XIV, but I'd prefer something like Campaign Battle. That was fun.

Anything fun is welcomed cuz we gonna need new things to do when we level to 60.
Don't want to spam fates in 3.0 cuz you know.... It's the expac and not 2.0.

Would love to see Besieged again only better optimized. It was fun but it could get old being killed by something you couldn't even see.

Yes sort of like this. Maybe dragons or something are trying to invade Ishgard at certain time and people gather to defend the city. And you can build reputation in ishgard by defending the city, get exp, and maybe some other things.
