Umbrellas...? And less content...?

[purgatori]

Going to throw out a civil protest about the decision to make less dungeons.

I am fully aware that a large portion of the player base doesn't enjoy them and considers them a chore, and I also admit that they aren't particularly challenging. However, I have no desire to join a static due to having been burnt out on the raiding process when I played World of Warcraft. I enjoy PUGing the trials, but once I get the weapons I want from them, I have no reason to return.

I am part of a small group of friends who play this game to chill and spend time with each other and dungeons so far have suited us perfectly. We enjoy collecting the various tomestone gear sets and it gives us something to do every night. We were friends before FFXIV and we have our own guild and house which we share. This decision will more than likely cause us to become bored and leave, as the game no longer offers any content for us.

If the developers believe that allocating resources elsewhere is best for the long-term health of the game, I would respectfully request they look into what they can do to provide more 4-man content. To my knowledge, dungeons are the only kind of content in the game for end-game which does not require at least 8 people.

I've never had the time or inclination to join, form, or participate in statics, so I'm in the same boat somewhat. Being locked out of a large swathe of content because it required statics or the like was hugely demotivating for me in other MMO's, and was often the reason I ended up disengaging until the next lot of story content dropped. The fact that FFXIV lets me, at endgame, jump in for an hour or two, fire up duty finder, and actually accomplish something is a big part of why I keep my sub active. If the static/BA approach becomes the way to progress in the game then... I guess I'll be an xpac-and-dash player once again.

How would you like it if I told you to just go back and do Alexander if they decided not to add a new raid?

But they are adding new raid, and new trial, and new dungeon, and maybe other content as well.

Why is this a concern? Tomestone has always been the main way to progress in this game. All other ways are alternatives.

I'll do the trials... maybe, depending on if they have a weapon I think looks nice. If not I'll do the normal mode and then be done with them. If I do, I'll run it until I get the weapon I want, and then I'm done with it. It's not going to keep me subbed.

The normal mode version of the raid is nice, but I only run that until I get my item drop for the week, and then I have no reason to go back until next Tuesday.

The new dungeon is nice but unless they keep the current dungeons in the expert roulette, I have no desire to run the same piece of content every night. 2 at least was enough variety to get me to keep running it every night until I cap tomestones for the week, at which point I take a break until next Tuesday.

Unfortunately I just don't enjoy crafting. I don't even like Minecraft. It's just not my genre.

I'm hoping they keep all level 80 dungeons in one roulette. But if they don't, you can always run both expert and level 80 dungeon roulettes or even alternate between the two roulettes every day.

idk. I am still running the same 2 dungeons I have been running since 5.0 came out. Mainly Amaraut and the garden place, idr what its even called because my brain is so over it, I just block it out. I have only gotten the new dungeon a handful of times, at best, and that was the first week or two it was out.

If they want to keep up this roulette they need to add more flavor to it or change the way parties are distributed within them, because the roulettes do seem to have default dungeons. You can see that in almost every one down the line, alliance excluded since players purposefully skew that one. There has to be a better system if they are only going to be doing 1 at a time. Because as it stands right now, roulettes are some of the worst content we have, simply due to lack of variation in what dungeon they plop you into.

Could you imagine having to run Neverreap every other day from 3.0 until 4.0 hit /shutter

I've gotten all the available dungeons plenty enough. I'm sure I've ran some dungeons more than others, but haven't noticed any major problem with distribution.

Oh my I have.

Expert are the 2 above

leveling is always...always Sastasha or 1000 maws

50/60/70 is Aetherochemical Research 9/10

Trials is King Mog 4/5 times and titan the other 1

The list goes on. The only time I see variation we get the new "new player" message.

I just hope they replace it with some worthwhile. I'm scared "brand new" content will be a bust
like Diadem. That thing was completely Dead on Arrival. A lot of new things they come up with
just doesn't work out well. I'm happy that PoTD stuff is actually something still play to this day.
