Three Mage Gate ?

[Dzian]

Why though? I played XI and the mage gate, or the weight gates in QC were NOT "Fun". If something isnt fun, why put it in the game. It adds pointless restrictions and pushes people into playing classes they dont actually want to play...

Lets just stick with doors that just...open ok.

I actually thought a lot of those were fun. simple things that made places a little more interesting.

Most of them had alternatives anyway so you weren't really forced to play classes you didn't want to play..

The 3 Mage gate for Example I remember having a "moon orb" or I think that's what it was called so I could open that gate myself. even as a ninja.

The garleige citadel gate breaches where you needed 4 people to press the buttons. could also at one point also be done solo by going through the cavernous maw to the past.

Eldieme necropolis as well where you had to juggle the switches to open and close paths.

Quicksand caves weight gates. 1 big galka or 3 tiny tarutaru...

loads of zones had those little puzzles in and it just made them a bit more fun and bit less bland. even castle o, SSG, temple of ugaleigh, pso xja, davoi!

I'd like to see some of that in XIV, or just some indoorsy zones in general. even 1.0 had indoorsy zones like mun tuy cellers..

It's a sorry state when these simple things are considered punishing.

Dragoon: Hey, guys, a door with some weird circles. What's up with that?
Astrologian: Forget it, we can't open it. You have to have a BLM, RDM, and WHM for it.
Dragoon: Dude, that's lame. Sucks that you need certain classes to do content.
Warrior: Somebody thought it'd be fun.
Dragoon: Doesn't seem fun to me.

Dragoon: Hey, guys, a door with some weird circles. What's up with that?
Astrologian: Forget it, we can't open it. You have to have a BLM, RDM, and WHM for it.
Dragoon: Dude, that's lame. Sucks that you need certain classes to do content.
Ninja: You don't need those classes I can open that door for you I got the key.
Dragoon: Cool!!! Cheers Mate!
Warrior: Yeah there's a quest in windhusrt you can do if you want to get your own key.
Dragoon: SWEEEEEET! i'll do that later
Astrologian: Really? i'll go do that as well...


XIV really needs some indoorsy type zones. why can't a miner actually go mining IN nanawa / copperbell mines for example?
