SE better do something or the game will drop dead

Not everyone is under that delusion, I know there are issues on some servers. If they weren't SE wouldn't be doing a server merger.

So as you see not everyone thinks that way as you state.

i'm not saying everyone feels that way, but this is the type of post in this very thread i mean

Pretty much. I've never waited more than 20 minutes for a party for anything. And whenever that does happen I have a backup plan aka something else to do.

Or I go outside and experience real life, that's another option some people just seem to forget.

he said because he can do it on his populated server that it's easy to do everywhere. we can't pretend like lindblum and witai have even remotely the same populations. the problems that one server has is not always going to be the same problem another has.

Ah, you did not specify that you were talking about the people in this thread, your post sounded very 'in general' thus my comment. Also seeing that SE has said they are going to merge due to low population, I wouldn't say it is as much delusion as trolls or people failing to read... once again. lol XD

yes, my apologies there. i do not think that everyone feels that way and do regret not making that clear. no harm no foul.

Even on higher pop servers it is hard to find a level 30 exp party while it might be easy to find a Ifrit or Moogle party.

I'm one of those masochist peeps who been on the game since beta... and i have to tell you when i log in and I find no one to do anything even though there is people online i feel not desire to play. the HNMs... and whatever is there is burnt already so people just log in for 10 mins say hi then leave making very difficult to do anything and if i wanted to play solo I buy a F...ing offline game.
I believe SE did a bad move start charging now.
they should wait until 2.0 or when the PS3 community joined us so whoever was leaving would not feel so bad as it feels now....
SE please read this and make sure you do something.
1- ADD more content like dinamis or something making people comeback on regular basis
2- Merge servers
3- ADD Roaming HNMs that is require more than 8 people to kill it.

the game is in need of more content where not only 8 players are require to kill something
4- As humans we always like to show our superiority to others , which it means we need content to compete against another LSs... as well

short words

DO SOMETHING TO MAKE PEOPLE COMEBACK ..

Best Regards

hmmm odd I find no issues with finding something to do with other people. We just got a patch soon we will have 1.21 that will have a lot of content. SE cant snap their fingers and make content appear. If you are having issues finding people to play with then it is either a personal problem or a server problem in which you can either make more friends, change servers, or wait for server merges. Anything SE can do takes time and they are doing it.

I know right? since they've been sitting on their ass since release and nothing changed since day one, right?

[neorei]

things i do.

1. take a break
2. play another game (MMO, XBOX)
3. come back during patch
4. Have fun
5. repeat.

Yeah they need to do something because a lot of people are coming to a realization that SW:TOR offers most of the things people expected FFXIV to have. Namely a truly, genuinely, epic storyline.

What I'd like to see is just a bunch of gear and mobs and events added. A ton. Myself and my linkshell are sick of getting 1 boss every 3 months with 1 drop for each class with horrendous drop rates. 1.19 was a great patch, 1.18 was good... but 1.20 was rather ... uneventful. Sure moogle was a fun fight, and once you beat him it's about 200 kill grinds. Joy.

If they are going to a new engine it would still be nice to see a flood of items and loot and events to participate in. Ok so not all fights can be extremely epic like Moogle or Ifrit, but WoW and Rift and LOTRO and FFXI and every other MMO has lots of cannon fodder, tank and spank, minor challenges where you are limited by gear and you know what ... it works. It allows a change of flavor.


Point 1
If they turned every dungeon in this world into an instance, that can scale with your level, or has "Heroic/Hard/Elite/Epic/Whateverthehellyouwanttocallit" difficulty adjustments I think most people would be content. If every dungeon had a "Level 50 Hard" setting where all the mobs are scaled to be level 50 to 60, and all the bosses got massive stat increases, with some randomized loot at acceptable drop rates, I think we'd all have a blast for now.

What works for DDO was giving items random stats. Perhaps they could give us armor drops with random materia augments already socketed. Think about it for a min - they wouldn't have to script a lot of gear. Gear could have a random # of pre-socketed materia between 1 and 3 (leave 5 for crafters only i guess) and random stats and tiers. That way you'd have a chance of getting something meaningful from casual play, and you could make the armor Bound and Untradable if obtained this way.

Point 2
After playing Old Republic with some friends you really love the hell out of having NPC party members. We already have a Path Companion, having the ability to summon them at any time (and count as a party member, thus limiting their usefulness) and giving them a slight AI upgrade and stat upgrade would be highly welcome. Especially for soloers having difficulty with mage classes or slower-to-level jobs.

YES! Why have path companions if you can't summon them in battle? I mean, we are getting chocobo buddies, right? And we are supposed to be able to gear them. What's the difference?

Well, just one more thing, why dont you wait for 2.0? Maybe if you wait till that time you wont be so upset at that time and you will enjoy a lot more the game. There are other games out there, give em a try and come back next year or after a few patches and check how the game feels.

Im ok with the game as it is right now, Rbanastre has a lot of active players and i do parties every day for ifrit, moogle or whatever i want. So not all servers are the same.
