Thread: 4.25 and beyond

@Remedi: But then they should not go out of their way to say that we will get new content for this. Because I am not much of a fan of dungeons since they are mostly boring but it was still something that the majority of the playerbase did and its a bit different if you have at least one more dungeon in the roulette instead of a coin flip. If this was nothing but PR talk and we just lost another part of our regular content for nothing...well then shame on them!

You know what I would like as a new kind of content (and maybe its something from other games..I dont know I did not play 11 or WoW):

Have worldwide messages that certain settlements are under attack. Maybe not the main cities but they could create the settlements all around the world for that. (So that players from all levels can do it a bit) People can either ignore the message or they can go to the settlements and defend it. Unlike fates it should be a bit more difficult and you should see the destruction the attack causes. Put some necessary ventors there and people will try to defend it. If they dont manage to do it, its first lost to the enemy and will look even worse. But people can still either get it back or maybe it will be released by the actions of the city states a few days later. Then you can have personal quests for crafters and gatherers. Gatheres could harvest special plants for medicine, something to eat for the people there or just stuff for rebuilding things. And the crafters can give them special items too. You will have a time limit of maybe a few real life days to do the quests and there will be an overall tracker and if the necessary amount of things are done, the settlement will be back to its original state at the end of the timer. This way people can help if they want and next to exp they could gain a special currency which they than can use to buy special items. This way you will have a carrot but imo this is way more fun than a simple fate and would feel like we did something for the world. This was just for one settlement but they could have lots of more all around the world and the more you help the more you could also gain some kind of reputation and maybe even unlock more stuff there and have people talk different to you too.

Before 90 you are trash, and when you reach level 90 is when you can begin to enjoy the game a bit.

You're trash here if you are under the current min ilvl for the "pro" content.

Necessary items for upgrading weapons and armours are all paid with real money.

With how the cash shop is going, It wouldn't surprise me if they add this.

But they let people trade them, so people who can spend money control the market and they put abusive prices.

Lots of gil buyers already do that. Happens in every game

Enhancement rates for gear are ridiculously low too, doesnt matter if you spend money or not.

Eureka seems to say hi

They make roulettes and loot cages too without revealing the success/fail rates. PVP is seriously unbalanced too. And some jobs are clearly better than others causing endless debate.

This happens here too, like in every mmo.

They release main quests and a couple of new dungeons with new gear and thats all.

We've been having this since 4.0

Conclusion: FFXIV currently behaves like a Free MMO, but we pay for it.

Initial Impression of Eureka:

Having a lot of fun lvling up in a party. Got to lvl 3 in probably 40mins then went to do the quest to get the second magia point. A lot of fun to kinda be in a party and chat with people while trying to kill stuff. We farmed lvl 4,5,6 stuff at lvl 1-3. World seems big and dangerous actually so you gotta be careful where you run through. Not sure about the elemental wheel yet, probably be more useful for higher levels later. Feels different then what we usually get though so thats cool.
