i'd love to know if i'm alone on this, but i have this feeling that se is planning to create this way of adding new leves and behests every few months threw the years and call this "New Content" i see lots of crystals we not using yet and i'm picturing them sending us to them with leves.... leves are fun only cause they are the only few things we get to do as a party in this game. they are still not something i want to see them trying to milk as content, they are not that fun.
on top of that behest is absolutly not fun, again i love the party play that it brings but u can't take the world away from someone and then give him back a little piece of it for him to think it is awsome. give us lots of party play and still behest will be boring and not fun. they said they think we look like we having fun, yeah like i just said we have nothing else. campaign battles in ffxi were absolutely better then behest in every fashion. and even they died out very early in it's creation, but there was usually enough people to do them all day but again full servers of players and things like this being empty should be a sign that they aren't fun enough to be considered content. usually doing the quests that pertain to doing the event was funner and is what filled the zones, trying to get the passes and things to play them, then bam ..death to it. work on that i'd say.
these 2 things shouldn't be considered content and again i have bad feeling they will keep adding more and more of the same crap and call it content a "NEW" . its not. assault was very fun but after doing most of them 1-5times that is all u did them outside of the spaming ones just for your gear points and spamed rvb for salvage points, why cause it gets old quick. don't think many people repeated doing holiday events after first time so why would we want to repeat a different leve in a diff location that is just the same.
u would think they would learn from empty Colosseum, and most there content being empty after a month or 2, that they should try something different but they went absolutely backwards and made the old stuff they had but way worse and way way less fun then the ones in ffxi.
i dunno might just be me, maybe i played ffxi for too long for anything they do in this game worthy of wasting another 5 on. but since i'm trying to make suggestions and not rant for a page, i suggest some real content that is fun be added into the game regularly not these little easy things u can just toss at us so we keep tossing you our money.
oh also from what i'm reading it sounds like our endgame is turning into 4-8man dungeons, maybe misunderstanding what i'm reading but that is another thing i suggest, we need our large party endgame like dynamisis and limbus/sea/sky/enerjah. yeah salvage is great but it should be on top of the "real" endgame. wow and clones alike, warhammer dungeons get old quick, u'r creating a recipie for clicks and small groups rather then linkshells with this right of the top. though these small dungeons are awesome to consider content, not by any means feels like end game to me after bringing us what u did with ffxi. million mmo's out there doing those dungeons and least have real pvp or whatever else they really doing rather then them, in this game it is what we are doing and small little dungeons don't cut the cheese.
party play in missions please add this please, i want my 2.3dragon battles lol, u should also make every battle in all quests and mini battles alike at a cap so that it is always needed a recommended group size for them, give us gear that don't fall off and works in them and all is wonderful in the world of eorzia. lot of those missions in ffxi would of been epic at the correct ranks rather then zerging solo or with a few players that needed it too.
also search function needs fixing, it isn't even being used. create a manner where we can search for people wanting to party and allow us to list off all ranks and classes we are willing to do them and battles and quests like ffxi would be great too. i see u'r trying to make it easier for parties to start up but it isn't working that way, seems way worse. either fix it so it works or completely go a diff way, or at the end of day u can't do that at least give us the ffxi version, it worked lot better. if u get rid of anima cost like i suggested in another post then meeting up at camp spots would work wonderfully.
probably lot of other things but this post got way to long sorry and ty for reading. lol on a positive note keep up the good work on the building of ffxiv, i'm sure we all appreciate it and look forward to looking back at these days and laugh at how great a game has been built.
