Hamlet Defense

[Sephrick]

In order to deliver the patch to you in time for Golden Week, I’m afraid we’ve had to postpone a number of things. These include job-exclusive weapons, chat log reforms, and other content I touched on last time. With regards to hamlet defense, only Hyrstmill will be ready for 1.22; the remaining two hamlets will go live in 1.22a, which is scheduled for May 10

Well, it seems 1.22 is now tentatively five days away, but there's still do much to know about one of the bigger additions of the patch?

If there only are three Hamlets, does this mean it's a higher level event? Since each region has two Hamlets, I assumed there'd be a higher and lower level version.

Will this event finally be a dependable means to get our DoH and DoL through the 40s? Or will local Leve revisions take care of that?

Will this be mass scale content or another "8 players may participate every 15 minutes" thing?

Will this be a source of seals?

Ah! I guess I'll have my answers in a few days but I'm just really excited.

[Griss]

All of these questions

We will have to wait 5-6 days to get the answers.

[Fear]

Hopefully they release some info about this next week to give us a teaser

I hope this will be in the vein of campaign so I can defeat baddies all day without having to search for 7 others around my level to experience up. Hopefully is more fun than leves <_<

[Fear]

If its just like, or similar to FFXI's Campaign I'll be happy that was a great time passer

I hope it doesn't have a cap on the number of people who can sign up. That was annoying with the Imperial Invasion currently going on.

That's probably my biggest concern.

I would also like to see something akin to XI's Campaign. It so easy to jump in and play either solo or in an organized group.

Knowing the current server situation I am almost sure there will be some kind of cap. The servers simply can't handle uncapped stuff right now. I am sure they will change that in 2.0, but right now I will not be suprised if we get a cap.

[Gidonoidon_Sur]

Yea, will be a bummer if its capped but my guess is it will be. Hopefully with Garuda people will be distracted.

[Jinko]

Yea I would like to know this also.

It does look to be only high end at the moment which is a little disappointing because low and mid ranged players have almost no content. (hopefully they will add more in due time)

That being said I have most of my battle classes at 40+ now so I can live with it, I get the feeling its not going to be as good as I had hoped so I'm keeping my expectations low, I'm guessing the others will be Aleport and Silver Bazaar, too bad they will be missing.

More than anything I want hamlet defense to be content for crafters and gathers .. 6/7 days and we will know I guess. (unless they post the patch notes early)

If its like behest/chocobo escort it will be very disappointing.
