Could we get Faction Leves back at some point?

[Antanias]

As excited as I was to enter Ishgard after playing both versions of the game, part of that excitement was quickly dispelled when I saw that the Temple Leves were the same thing as regular ones. Yeah they required slightly more of particular objectives to be done, but it was the same copy/paste formula that was used in the 2.0 series of leves.

In 1.0 we had Faction Leves that were slightly harder in difficulty that were used to help obtain greater rewards or for the initial version of the A Relic Reborn quest. They provided challenges outside of the norm that led to greater rewards and access to even stronger faction leves that would reward either more gil or more glamour (despite glamour prisms not being available until 2.0).

My main question is this: Could we get Faction Leves back in some form or fashion, or at least start deviating from the same predictable formula the game has utilized since its very relaunch?

I agree, and, adding onto that, I would like to see the three guildleve factions return to leves period - whatever happened to Azeyma's Shields, the Brotherhood of the Broken Blade and the Horn and Hand?

It was an interesting mechanic that provided a bit of variety to the otherwise dull leve system in 1.0. I can only assume Yoshi scrapped them though for simplicity's sake and thus they're never coming back, but I can still dream...

I feel like the beast tribe dailies were the replacement for the faction leves.

Can I stack allowances like actual leve quests then?

doing the 20 leves weekly for challenge log annoys the ehemm out of me... port to ishgard take quests -- > port to map do quests ---> port back to ishgard report quests honestly dont know why they did that... was better having them in each map = =

But not nearly as fun. I do appreciate the beast tribe stories, but you don't get much variety in the quests outside of Vanu and Gnath.

Yeah, I never understood why we had to keep reporting back to Ishgard to pick up/turn in leves.

yup its a pain in the backside lol more of a nuisance than anything.. lately if i dont really need the leves to help level other jobs i just wont do that challenge log part :P

For the love of all that is good, YES. Can we please get faction leves back? I'd love for them to be implemented as a way for FCs to get together en masse and kill big mobs.

[silentwindfr]

yes and yes and yes... the faction leves will add more to do...

I kinda figured Hunts would have been ideal for "endgame" Levequests... Rather than the original three Faction Leves, why not have a Faction per zone? Do Levequests in Dravania Forelands, and you get points towards Faction Levequests there, which let you effectively spawn your own Hunt target. That would allow SE to actually balance Hunts so they're perhaps actually fun to challenge, as well as putting unique rewards on them. Plus, it would actually feel like a Hunt, the Levequest objectives could replicate hunting a target, rather than it just spawning and your servers Hunt LS calling in an orbital strike...
