Stop Asking for Open World Content

[Theplatter]

Lets start at XI's Sky for example. A 'raid' pop system actually worked very well in the open world. A Hierarchy system of force spawn mobs, each progressively harder (except genbu). The only problem with the whole system was the initial NM's to gain pops. Mother Globe, Faust, and the others proved to create competition/drama between people.

Don't forget CoP; Sea had a similar system.

Still wish they'd take this system and rework it so the initial pop items are found in maps or some other non-competitive instance, like large-scale leves.

Edit: Just saw your mention of making them buyable, that works too for a nice gil-sink!

Forgot all about the loveable sea jailers. Anytime I think about CoP, limbus pops in my head as I ran a shell for some 3 years, so I forgot all about them. Either way, just another example of how they could create open world content.

There is really no adventure to this game. Lol.

That's the point.

How SE can build on them:

Different treasure maps, that not only have level and party size recommendations, but also ilevel recommendations to add more different difficulty tiers to them that increase wih the gears ilevel each patch.
As an example buying an ilevel 200 treasure map with eso tomes after all eso gears got bought.
A way to find ilevel 220 maps in 3.2
And so on.

The problem with open world content is it is made for causal use. But not enough people do it. So DEV make it important to do!. Then Causal content end up getting SPAMMED by EVERYONE.. Causal hate it because it's not causal anymore. Hard core players hate it because it not hard core. The people in between care less because they aren't causal players so the content is mostly not worth it. Yet not Hard core enough to do it. instead randomly doing it when in the right place at right time.
