Rokien's new thread on Hamlet Defense

[Rokien]

I was getting so pumped about Hamlet Defense, till I read this.....

"If the 50-hour preparation period is over and the call-to-arms has been sounded, form a party of 8 members and speak with the militia captain to enter the instanced area. Once the instance has been entered, jobs and classes will be locked and players will not be allowed to change their weapons or soul crystals."

really, only 8 people AND INSTANCED!

SE I thought we went over this whole instanced thing already. We want open world stuff.

We shouldn't need to form a party, it should just be max 20 people sign up(form a party if you want). With instanced mobs. Ya know, like with leves and stuff.

~Don't get me wrong I'm sure it will be pretty fun and awesome... stilll give me a break here.

i'll just quote myself

Current game engine cap displayed characters to 40, so it's just impossible a massive non-istanced event

So, no.

So, no.

I'm hoping that's becasue of the server ya, I'm hoping it will change in 2.0, though look at strong holds........ stuff is everywhere

People displayed in uldah should give you an hint. They could do an open world hamlet, but you'll see 39 npc..and yourself. no one else

So, no.

Some people are just plain *##*#**. Can't you see how uldah loads people?! Te engine won't allow that many enemies and people. Get over it and stop creating stupid threads!

What do you really expect out of this thread other than a 20+ page flame war? Seriously.

80% of polled players wanted instances. That's the future of Final Fantasy XIV.

How about a damn middle ground? Instance, fine. But just ONE party?

Please.

I think I'm giving up. Instances are boring. I'll stick around till 2.0 to see if this changes. There's no reason to play an instanced final fantasy MMO. Hamlet defense was the one thing I was excited for until now.

Having a beast tribe attacking 1 location for whole day would cause massive lag. I know FFXIV doesn't have the biggest population but it would still lag like a b*tch. The graphic beauty of this game comes with a price. Wow can have open world raids because any computer can run wow toons, and enviroments. I had to build my computer to play 14, due to the high graphics demand
