2.0 fears.

**AlaulaTheGreat** · 04-16-2012 01:16 PM

I believe every time we as a community comes up with an idea, we get a bland, "Coming in 2.0"

In fact, it's so common to hear, even the players themselves have started to say it like, "Ooh! Maybe in 2.0!"

I know 2.0 is gonna be big, but then maybe a week after it finally settles in, we'll say to ourselves. "This.... is it?"

So I wanna beat the sadness to the punch! Put on your future goggles and say how 2.0 will disappoint you.

Pointless thread is pointless~

2.0 will disappoint those who think magical unicorns exist and dreams happen over night.

PV, I normally agree with you... but this time... if you're implying that unicorns don't exist.... well... thats just an awful thing to say....
What if magical unicorns went around saying people didn't exist? how would you feel then?

There's only two patches left from now until the tentative beta 2.0 launch. That's a long stretch of time for content. Why would I want to get on 2.0 with hardly any new content?

I also want too see more variety of zones that have imagination. I'm tired of the basics used time and time again in all of these MMORPGs. I want to see fantasy. I would like to fear my surroundings, and that of my enemy. Neither of these exist in 1.0. The floating lakes of Sian Sian sound amazing, and I would really love to explore that place.

Lastly and probably the biggest of all my concerns is the main scenario. Simply put: It sucks. This is not a Final Fantasy storyline, and I really want to see them scrap it and start over. They had really good quality story-lines with CoP, ToAU, and WoTG (especially). The normal quests don't have enough cut-scenes, and the rewards are beyond lackluster. Experience points? Woot, oh wait i'm 50 already. I would like to be rewarded with recipes, new quests, key items. I don't care really.

It's really hard to not get extremely excited for 2.0 because it is the second chance to make this MMO into the amazing game that it should have been. However I also know that I got my hopes up once, and I got kicked in the groin with the original FFXIV launch.

I agree... imaginative zones please.... great story.. yes...

I can imagine camps having the same names, but newly positioned, but would it make sense to allow people to quick-travel to things they haven't really visited yet but at the same time have?

technically you don't teleport to an area... you teleport to a node... so if the node still exists... then it's possible we'll still be able to teleport to it....
Unless, of course, the coming disaster disrupts aetherial energy, making it so you have to re-attune to each of them....
Either way could be made to make sense within the lore

I bet 2.0 will still have all the NPCs standing still... standing.
Oh the standing.

If they want an example of NPC life done right, they should look no further than Xenoblade Chronicles. Althought that game's single player, it gets a lot of cues from MMOs. I know that single player is what makes it possible to have NPCs stop to talk to you, but that could be done in an online game by making NPC position and motion client-side: to everyone else, it would just keep walking.

Also, another fear... if the woods is still a heavily clunked up maze where 85 monsters will look at you and say, "Haha, why you come down here boy?!"

**viion** · 04-16-2012 02:10 PM

Yes the lifeless cities will likely exist, dont think much people mind tho.

**AlaulaTheGreat** · 04-16-2012 02:22 PM

be nice to have lifeless NPCs, and then the occasional NPCs who enter and exit houses who we can't talk to.
But alas, disappointment.
