Petition to keep non-instanced dungeons.

[Rokien]

Yosh-p has stated that he wants to make all dungeons instanced. That doesn't settle well with me. Considering I love the rank 20(15) open dungeon, I've stated my reasons in another thread a while back. He said that the open world content will be the strongholds(there's a few more, I know). I'm making this thread to keep and to make more open world dungeons. Please sign and like this thread if you want to see this happen. Please do not post saying "INSTANCED IS BEST" this is a thread for the people who want to keep and see more open world dungeons. Thank you.

PS: I'm not saying to take out instanced dungeons, but to keep non instanced ones and keep making more, along side the instanced ones.


Other thought for you instance lovers:
-Make the dungeon open to everyone
-Have to run through a tough area
-area is level capped
-Instanced NM(like Ifrit) still level capped!

I think instanced is ok as long as it does not have party/level requirements. Otherwise, I agree, open is better please.

I can see why he needs to make them all instanced, the cross server dungeon finder won't work otherwise and to be honest I don't think your petition is going to effect his decision.

With zones becoming seperated they basically become instanced as well, do you have a problem with that I wonder ?

[Rokien]

They can still have that with the instanced dungeons. I just want them to keep and to make more non instanced dungeons.

There will be some content that isn't instanced and there are other areas in the game that are really no different than Shposhoe or w/e it is called like Mun Tuy cellars. They are a place to level and has low level NMs. I think those areas will not be instanced if they stay in the game even after it is made into zones. Then like someone else said even if areas like that get their own zones then it really won't be much different than being an instance except you have to compete for mobs etc. Hopefully strongholds will take on a FFXI-Like experience come 2.0. I would like to have a full zone that is dedicated to being a multi leveled beastmen stronghold much like Ft. Ghelsba and the other strongholds in FFXI.

We don't know what he means fully until we get more info. of what is to come and how changes are going to effect the game world. You may get a surprise after we get more information. Also to go with this point I hope sometime around 2.0 release or before that they put a stop to power leveling so when PS3 players join the game there is actually a point to doing low level content. Currently you do not stay a low level anything for more than a day and low level content is pointless.

none instance please.

It's too early to tell what they are going to do even if Yoshida said "bla bla" is in development. SE has said "this and that" and then eventually went with "that and this" in the past.

No, they need more instanced dungeons. This will help with camping/stealing bosses or training. Also it will allow more people to enjoy the game because people with lesser computers will be able to partake in content, instead of lagging in world instances because of the large concentration of parties in the area.

Well, we cant miss good stuff just because some people dont have middle end computers, in fact well if you want to be fair they should make the game with WoW graphics so even a pentium 1 guy can play the game.....

FF11 had open dungeons, if they want to be fair they could do the game with zonings, i dont care and as some say it doesnt affect my immersion by zoning, so that would be a good way to keep the resorce usage as low as possible.

I despise the thought of the game being mainly instances... horrible mechanics for a mmo considering the genre was designed to have a whole world instead of the dungeon crawler type gameplay.

Unfortunately if they want to have dungeon finder... you have to instance the world or it simply will not work. That is the issue with the whole dungeon finder regressionary movement WoW started. Sacrifices community, guild unity, the feeling of being in a world for ease of gameplay for those who do not want to make/find a party.

With Yoshida's mind made up already with the want a instanced style online game to make all the casuals happy... I feel the complaining about instancing everything is a waste of time though.

Instancing some of the game = great.... instancing all of the game = stupid design and decision making by the devs.
