Heavensward. Something is missing?

[Lemuria]

There's a big problem with doing server-level events like this.
PEOPLE WILL JUST ZERG IT.

Not if the mechanics were such that a 'zerg' is impossible. If something can be zerged, it's the fault of the developer, not the players, as it's down to them to design a fight which is more than just a big monster with a lot of HP.

Its not FFXI.

OP saved me the trouble in his own thread.

FFXI has lasted for over 10 years because there was always something more to be done. It had oodles of content, a wide variety of skills per player and new and interesting ways to play each class which didn't involve being rooted to DPS, Heal, or Tank. Do tell me why being a little more like FFXI would be a bad thing?

It wouldn't be a bad thing. But people still think beeing WoW is better =D

OP - Nope, you're not the only one! I am hoping they announce some new systems and stuff, not just 2.0 with dragons ; ; We need something like Besieged, Salvage, etc...something besides the same dungeons, tomes and end game raids.

Besieged might be covered by the new "Large scale" Fates. I'm expecting them to be a combination of the Odin/Behemoth FATEs and the Attack on Highbridge/The Hive FATE chains.

Large Scale Fates? Do you have more info about it?

Outside of the term itself and the fact that they were listed separately on the same slide as High-level Levequests, High-level FATEs, New field enemies and New elite marks, I only have supposition.

[Altanas]

I am still hopeful for zone wide Airship battles in some form.

That would be interesting! The only issue that may have is that those FATE's can turn into zerg fests...often requiring little to no strategy. ; ; Maybe they are going to change things up though to alleviate that.

If the fate had multiple goals at the same time it would be possible. Lets say there would be fate which would ask you to fight off some attackers, repair something and gather something at the same time, the players would have to divide into 3 teams to make it in time and would have to communicate a bit. It would reduce the zerg aspect but it could produce lots of hate etc..
Now when we have a fate which asks you to attack something and collect something, it always drops from attackers. So there are no true multiplegoal fates.

Well, 2.55 had us start in Ishgard and end in Ul'Dah which I didn't expect that. I expected Ul'Dah first and then Ishgard stuff. My guess is we're going to have a handful of quests in Ishgard obviously, then we'll go over to Dravania and do our thing over there, then we'll travel skywards into Sea of Clouds and I'm pretty confident Churning Mist IS the Level 60 zone. Time will tell.
