    [Dev Team] Open World Magitek Battles

    It would be very awesome to allow the players to battle each other while using their Magitek Mounts. The mounts could have a HP bar and when it reaches 0, the armor crumbles or blows up; initiating a repair cool down phase before the player can use it again.

    If this is too difficult to deploy in all areas, at least look into making it possible while in the Housing Districts. Let the turf wars and block battles begin.

    This has probably been requested a lot I am guessing, so let this be my vote for it to happen.

    *Bonus*
    Being able to damage Player and FC houses -- temporarily of course.

    Haha yeah, gardens would have to be off limits. I am against the traditional open world PvP, there would be a lot of low-level players dead everywhere, but only having the mounts take damage would be great. When you see 10-20 Magitek mounts rolling out of FC house to defend it, the laughter is priceless haha.

    In World of Warcraft there are items that are like little tanks, you can use them just about everywhere. They can move, jump, and had two different attacks that only worked on other tanks like them. There were no rewards for battling each other, but it was perfectly balanced because all tanks were exactly alike, and there were an infinite number of arenas you could battle in because they could be used anywhere in the world.

    It was lots of fun and my friends and I battled each other frequently. I wouldn't be opposed to something like this popping up in FFXIV, which sounds similar to your Magitek Armor battles. Only I think a group of giant, human carrying, armors battling it out will be a lot more distracting to those nearby than toy tanks.

    This is actually quite cool. If the mount's HP dropping to 0 causes a forced dismount and nothing more...

    And you can opt out simply by not using the battle mounts.

    Hell, you coould bring other mounts in on the fun. Chocobo Jousting, anyone?

    Chocobo Jousting! I am definitely game. Where the worst that happens is you get knocked off your chocobo. Although I would hate to be running to a hunt, and then out of nowhere get T-Boned by a Chocobo Jouster haha.

    I'm not a big supporter of open world pvp but this actually sounds pretty awesome. Granted, it would need to be a new, specific magitek mount rather than the ones we have now because otherwise it would limit players who like to use the ones already in game to not being able to if they don't want to involve themselves in magitek fights.

    I'm all for this. I don't even care is there are rewards tied to it or not. Magitek Battles just sound too awesome on their own.
