Any interest in a BCNM System making an updated return?

Not at all saying make this like FFXI, but just thinking about this today... From my memory, as you played the game you got these little tokens that you could trade in to queue up different boss fights. These would be special boss fights that drop different items etc, and the different fights would cost different amounts of these tokens.

What I liked about this concept was that you got these tokens by fighting monsters, and it was a random drop, which you could get very early on, so that as you played, these would just build up.

Anyway, I'm sure they would want to make updated changes to this type of system if they were going to do something like this in FFXIV, like making tokens drop from all types of content in the game, etc...

Just a random idea, for a random day, anyone got anything to add, or do we not want anything like this?

Thanks,

I guess people would be less likely to leave a boss after a single wipe since it cost them tokens, so maybe it'd be an improvement!

I still have my Inferno Tapers and Unmarked Keystones.
It wasn't a bad system, but seems a bit silly to implement now that we have a system build around instant access to a dungeon or trial.

Adding any new system at this point would be a blessing.. Aside from getting beastcoins as you fight, bcnm's are pretty much like primal fight ( in WAY less quantity and difficulty and way lamer un-rare loot) and assuming they did add tokens of some sort to do big fights, they would have to make them really easy to get to make up for the long queue times, or getting people together in general.. People in FFXI were a little more patient

the cool thing about bcnms is that there were created with lvl sync on mind , and there are tons to choose from , and u could duo / trio , or just help for drops , that utsusemi: NI avoided me for some time D:

I loved doing bcnm and it would be a welcome return on my end.

This is basically the same thing as the primal ex fights they release now only you don't have the tedious task of farming a bunch of seals to do the fight.

BCNMs would be nice, as well as ZNMs. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing back Faction leves from 1.0 either. There's something oddly satisfying about farming up a large number of 'content access tokens.'

I was going to say....we already have this: It's the Primal EX fights, truthfully. They drop items, they drop an item that is vanity based (The bird or horse depending on what you're doing)..

I'm not seeing the point of adding this at all.

I would be 100% behind this.

It does feel very similar to the treasure maps and Trial Battle features, though.
