Why did you get rid of Skinchange We Can Believe In...

[Antonio_Xul]

I don’t think Gold Saucer is dead. I always see people doing them.

I do hate that they remove some games, though. I did stop doing Skin Change, but other people still did it. I liked Vase off as the path was real easy and quick way to make MGP. The emote one was fun, even though it took me a while to see how it’s played.

The one that annoys me now is the Airplane one. I make 1 mistake and lose out on 1000 MGP. I wish the number you get at the end is what you get as MGP. It bugs me to continue after messing up just to get 3000 MGP no matter how many I get at the end. I hate continuing after a mistake.

My favorite is Wind Blows. I usually win 75% of the time as I found a good sweet spot a few years ago after studying the hit spots. A ton of MGP is worth playing this one.

Leap of Faith is my 2nd favorite. I like jumping puzzles.

I glad they remove skinchange, it's just a bad designed gate

[Brightamethyst]

That's because Skinchange is awful and wastes the most time out of all GATEs out there.

For real? Skinchange is one of the the fastest GATEs there is. The NPC differences are highly predictable (jewelry, gloves, boots, facial hair/markings.) The differences are almost always one of those few things. Usually just requires a quick glance at the NPC and then 20 seconds running around in a circle to find the only one with a matching beard.

I still wish they could find a way to have multiple GATEs going on at once like a true amusement park. Then there wouldn't be a need to exclude some of the ones we do/used to enjoy. Ah well, one can dream.

I'll never understand the XIV communities obsession with removing content content they personally don't like... Don't like Skinchange? Sure, I actually agree with you on that. Does that mean it should be removed though? Hell no, there are people who do enjoy it... This game doesn't, and shouldn't cater to a single type of player... A wide breadth of content types is only a good thing for an MMO... The glee some people seem to take when some content is deleted, or otherwise gutted, and the consistent calls to remove certain forms of content (looking at you, PvP) is just bizarre to me...

I always hated Skin Change, too much effort in it to get a small amount of MGP compared to the rest. Other gates were much faster, unless you only signed up and guessed the first NPC you saw. Personally feels like it only existed because of when the gold saucer was added, back during the days we had PS3 players.

They're finally doing more exciting gates, each new one they add seeming to have some kind of achievement. Though Airforce One I won't play again due to it being the ONLY gate that still disconnects me, and when reporting it I've been told that it hasn't happened to enough players to warrant anyone to look into it basically.

At this point it is kinda sad that all of the original GATES except Cliffhanger have been removed. I think they should just make all the old GATES regular attractions that can be done any time for a smaller payout instead of just flat out removing them altogether.

I miss Vase Off.

Skinchange was a nice little nod to the "dropped item" airship quest in FFXI, but after the reminiscence died off, it quickly became my most hated GATE.

Maybe I just suck, but I'm not capable of just taking a quick look and quickly being able to identify the perfect matching NPC as soon as I see them. It's more like looking over all five of the NPCs to try to find the elements that are different, then looking over all five of the NPCs and the original again to actually identify the correct one. It usually takes me about 3-4 minutes.

I won't miss it much.

I'll never understand the XIV communities obsession with removing content content they personally don't like...

Because every time Skinchange shows up, it means one less GATE they actually enjoy doing. There's only three of them per hour.

If they keep taking away gates some players like then Gold Saucer is going keep having less and less people in it. Every time go there maybe I will see 20 people and most of those is afk. They really need to have more than one gate up at a time.

[Bonbori]

I don't like the fact that every time I'm in the GS, I only see the instanced GATEs... I'm happy that Jimmy isn't one of them, but I also wish other "open world" GATEs like Cliffhanger occurred more often than Leap of Faith or Air Force.

Before instanced GATEs became a thing Gold Saucer was my go-to place for passing the time while I was waiting in queues. Now I have no reason to go there except to do my Fashion Report and trade in cards once a week.
