"New game plus - quests will have no rewards..."

[Shougun]

So anybody know if they are killing our levels back to 1 and letting us keep gear and stuff like most games that offer NG+ ?
If so are we still going to be able to play with ppl that are not in NG+1-10 ? Like if I wana invite normal world buddies to a NG+ dungeon? Or are they leaving us in the normal world and just flipping our msq completion from 1 to 0 ?

Seems more like you will keep your gear and levels and get to do that content again, unlike new game+ of single player games the difficulty wont really be adjusted and it's probable that there wont be many if any changes to the experience (like sometimes in NG+ more story/optional bosses are added). There will be some ARR changes, which is why that portion is delayed from the first release of the system, so technically that might feel a bit new/fresh from how we remember it (but I meant new specifically in relationship to using NG+, like sometimes games add some new piece of content because they can- or more extreme examples in Nier lol).

At the moment it seems best to see NG+ explicitly for the ability to experience the story again on the same character, with no other benefit. No new content (items, bosses, story), no rewards, and no difficulty increase (in fact it's probably going to be easier because instanced content is synced and not noted for increased in difficulty). More info could easily change some of those statements though~!

So bit further away from a single player new game plus concept, but it'll let you repeat old content if you wanted to enjoy some part of the story again. Of course things open for change as we get more info or as players request changes.

Thank you for the reply it clears a few things up. I'm not much on the single player side of things in my experience with division div2 and dark souls you drag a low lvl friend around in a NG+ environment and they generally get a case of seepage so I was a tad worried lol

She doesn't have to move along. At all. EVER.

They don't give exp because the devs decided they shouldn't. That is not what they wanted this mode to be for. Taadaaaaa

It isn't a petty reply, either? You just don't LIKE it.

I'm going to be using it even though there are no rewards. I get to kick Heavensward's behinds again.

[Kanitezz]

I think if you were looking forward to this feature just to reap rewards, then this feature probably wasn't meant for you.

[Fynlar]

Because anyone who dares support this feature without EXP is simply kissing up to SE.

Yeah, uhh, that's not it.

New Game+ won't be useless. It's a great feature for reliving the story on a new job, and I very much look forward to starting over on my Viera alt. That said... I'm really hoping they do implement at least some form of exp reward anyway. It would make a very nice change from grinding mercilessly to level new jobs.

not sure if someone mentioned before , but it means we will get back skippable cutscenes ? like in msq roulette and these two dungeons ? like giving new players something like Trust with only that one guy who is there

Unlikely since there's still new players to consider, and since this feature was made expressly with encouraging people to enjoy the story in mind there's no way it's implementation would come on the heels of neutering the ability to enjoy said story in either MSQ dungeon. That's rather counter productive all things considered.

No, probably not.

This is about NG+, a feature we will get with the next patch - 5.1 - that allows you to go back and redo storyquests for the purpose of doing that part of the story again. Its not related to the MSQ-dungeons, just to all the one-time-only storyquests that you'll be able to do again if you want to.

They also announced that they're going to rework ARR, but thats planned for 5.3. Reworking seems to include things like streamlining etc.
...and hopefully a real fix for Castrum and Praetorium by turning them into solo-instances or something of that sort (after they have the technology now, so yes, something like trusts). Logically that would mean the removal of the MSQ-roulette alltogether. Obviously this is only speculation, but I would expect to never ever get skippable cutscenes back in the MSQ-roulette. If those dungeons are turned into solo-instances, maybe. Because then its only up to the person currently playing solo wether or not they want to see the cutscenes. But if the dungeons stay in DF in some way the cutscenes will most likely stay unskippable. I'd like to remind you that the massive reward you get from MSQ-roulette is because of the time investment, including those cutscenes. Dont hold your breath for ever being able again to ruin someones first time experience in those dungeons by skipping cutscenes and rushing them because you're only after the massive chunk of exp.
