Please do not make group quest open world areas.

[Warlyx]

this zones if finally made it to live will be OPTIONAL , i would love to see some kinda of daily party quests to kill mobs+boss in random stronghold that rewarded "poetics" (quest random change every 2h or something so ppl didnt overcamp strongholds ), so ppl could cap doing that instead of the old boring DR dungeon

MMORPGs players these days ....

So sad.

The weird thing? MMO players were viewed as "anti-social people" yet were very social within the game itself (specially ones you had to party together with).

Don't worry guys, anything challenging SE puts into the game will be nerfed to pointlessness once the RIP crowd starts their vocal assault against SE and SE will bend over and nerf it for them. Challenging content is enjoyed by a first come first serve basis, afterwards it's nerfed :3

I'm thrilled to see some open world content with some bite. Sounds like if you take your time and have a faint idea of how to play your class, you'll do just fine. It's not as though mobs will be hitting you with Death Sentence. And I'll be glad to have the chance to team up with FC mates to make their lives easier. Instead of doing X roulette/weekly and being done for the day, I can stick around, team up with buds, and actually enrich my fellow FC mates' experience. As a healer main/ tank alt, I know I'll be of some help, and I'll gladly step in to help randoms along the way.

Personally I love the change. I love the idea that there will actually be some dangerous areas in the game. I can't stand how there is 0 risk wandering around the open world in 2.xx.

I am betting these "harder" mobs are going to be the same as the ones we fought before, just with more HP and strength and mat drops non crafters won't give a hoot about.

[NamudNevets]

Should not be able to run from entrance to end and back of a beastman stronghold w/o even a hint of mayb dieing, and the annoying heavy.... At least make it so deeper mobs are stronger and are a tough solo. Not asking to be one shot everywhere but ATM open world is pretty lame even when not over geared When I mine stuff and a mob attacks me I can just spam my button to finish and don't come close to dieing.

The beta when the first few job quests came out was almost perfect difficulty but I guess it was just to hard for PPL. And for the PPL who don't have moch time to play PLS don't use that as an excuse because so of us DO have lots of time to play and would like to do more then "help newer players with content" been there done that. We can't make everyone happy but PPL with less time get most of what they want.

I'm excited that openworld mobs may actually be challenging. I'm sure they aren't going to make it overly hard though. There is no way they will put super-hard stuff in the way of say storyline completion or anything. I'm also hoping that these harder mobs might drop some good crafting mats and that farming them with a friend might make some money.

I feel the further away from civilization the harsher the zones and mobs should be.

[Greven]

I like the open world to be challenging and as long as the group/FC-airship things isn't a must or close to I wouldn't care. Let there be different options for different play style

[Ossom]

People are really complaining about open world monsters being a little harder?

Wow. Whens the last time you actually fought an open world monster anyways? You're already crying about the expansion and its not even here yet. You act like you'll be spending the entirety of expansion in a limbo because you can't level because those open world monsters hit too hard. Please. You'll grind fates, be given your first lv60 through the main story line and zerg dungeons as always.

All these strong monsters do is build a stronger economy due to scarcity of rare materials and the difficulty with which to get them. It allows for people to do something challenging and adventurous in the open world while they wait for ques. I would take any of your complaints seriously if I felt you were in Mor Dhona in the last week farming Hippo skins or something. But you weren't so please. This is an MMO, learn that you will need to play with others inside and outside of the dungeon to get stuff done at times.
