Gating interesting content behind artificial side leveling

[Ilan]

Yes if I knew there was a point in partaking in terribly poorly implemented content I'd have stuck to it, but that's totally beside the point discussed here. It should be in everybody's best interest to discuss game design elements of the game to improve the game. Because right now, nobody can honestly tell me eureka is well designed.



I don't think that s what was said. It was said that the complexity of the systems implemented would rise with each eureka areas.



Now that's really the question we need to ask right now because if the topic isn't raised we ll end up with like 20 different leveling systems in a few years in FFXIV.

But you already knew that there i a reward at the end. Its called "wannabe" relic.

When you grow old you start not really caring about ingame items, because you can get ingame items in basically every game on the market currently.

So basically you pussied out during Pagos and now that something new and shiny is coming for those of us that continued to stick it out, you're jealous and want what you can't have? 4.55 is still 3 months away, more than enough time for you to catch up.

Captain obvious to the rescue. No I m just deploring the fact that they add something good after 3 iterations of bad content. Also, it's not jealousy as I don't have anything against people who farmed eureka, please do not put words in my mouth.

You're complaining that they gate Eureka behind...Eureka. wow, just wow...

No, they gate something different from what we used to have in eureka behind dul eureka content. That's not really the same thing. If there were public dungeons in anemos, pyros and pagos, there wouldn't be issues.

Technically, they did both. Light and Crystal farming make up the bulk of the grind in Pagos and Pyros, which was one of the major complaints at least regarding Pagos. It took far too long to progress.

That's why elemental level makes no real sense : there were already grind systems in place in eureka.

Hopefully Absolute Virtue destroys players in that public dungeon like it once did in XI. Would be great if its harder then even ultimate fights.

I'll be really disapointed if he doesn't destroy players for old time sake.
