Thread: Maps redesing for 2.0... cities too?!

Ah, but I'm happy about almost everything else regarding 2.0.

That is extremely dissapointing, the cities in the game are bland and boring much like the rest of the world.

While a redesign would be nice... just opening up more areas in the cities would definitely go a long way
They just start to feel so small the longer you play this game

This is a shame. The cities were designed by monkeys it seems... the only somewhat acceptable design is uldah's.

Seriously, take a look at sandoria, windurst, bastok. Windurst had a pretty lousy design so it needed teleport npcs, and here on xiv every city needs those...

I'd also like to see more lively cities. With npcs going on with their lives and stuff.

Don't insult the dev team and she said they would see some adjustments. As i recalled you monkeys wanted maps redone not cities >_>.

What are you talking about? Everyone wanted city redesigns too. We've all complained they look stale and lifeless. The structures look new and pristine... in a city like uldah? Come on.

Gridania makes no sense. Its so inconvenient to get around it...

the cities focus all the important things in this one sector and the rest of the city is its own little ghost town.

not to mention how it all seems lifeless, the buildings have no interiors, npcs are just a few and they dont even walk...

You can add life to the cities with a complete redesign
