Please do not make group quest open world areas.

[Mahri]

Honestly, I normally hate the idea of obligatory group areas in non-instanced content.

However, they've already given us a genuinely workable form of that, with FATEs. Many CAN be soloed, but it's a slog, and people have frequent incentive to join in.

If they actually decided to make areas of the main game world require more than one person, I think this dev team, combined with this community, could actually pull it off.

It's not really hard to avoid mobs in the open world to be honest. I've gotten my lvl 1 alt to Revenant Toll from Grid to Coerthas route.

Just out of curiosity. How many of those scared of this rise in danger in the open world, are the same who complain of a lack in challenge? How many of those who yell "Git Gud" are are now crying foul over not being able to steam roll over content for their shinnies? This is something that
could possibly not only extend game play, but encourage grouping/ team work to clear objectives. These could be the people you befriend, people who help you clear content you can't clear in DF. I'm all for it, it's about time small groups had more to do than just treasure maps and dungeons.

world becomes more dangerous and we get a way to completely bypass it with no penalty.
I see no issue

Well see, the thing is, we have those...they're just instanced.
And i see no real issue with strongholds either, as it implies they're off on their own away from normal traffic.

snip OP

I'm actually glad they are adding dangerous areas to the world. This is the #1 complaint people had about ARR was that compared to other MMOs, ARR's open world was not very fun. There was no feeling of danger and excitement. Zones being too small was another complaint, and now the new zones will be 2 to 5 times bigger. So adding danger to some areas makes sense. To have all of the land area in each zone be easy mode to traverse is a bad idea. Besides, even with dangerous area there is usually always a way pass the enemies if you are careful. It makes it more exciting.

Dangerous open world is going to very fun to explore ...unless you are someone who is trying it months after it was relevant and everyone is too busy with endgame to come help you get to your objective in the middle of an enemy camp. I just hope it's not required to progress the story >_<

Months away better equip is out with higher ilevel. If you mean lower than lv 60 then there is still the possibility to get some more levels to make it easier.
Or just don't pull more than 1-2 enemies. Or ask your Chocobo for help. Also start to learn how sight aggro and sound aggro work.

Dunno what all the complaining is about. It will be like it is now:

We hit max level.

Outgear all the content.

"Group open world" stuff becomes solo due to the gear levels.

Enjoy. It won't be challenging at the end anyway.

the difference is that it will not be ilevel outgeared the moment it go live (at least for the lv60 areas), but 3-6 months later.

ou missed the point where this is what the game has done every single time a new piece of content was added, the same thing will continue to happen because "it makes money". Opinions on 13 year old/dead games don't make money (Specially since 1.0 failed completely and almost made SE go bankrupt since it was SO GOOD apparently).

Having level 45 enemies as strong as a lv 45 player and not as a lv 40 player was not the reason 1.0 failed.
