Rokien's new thread on Hamlet Defense

[Volsung]

While I agree with you, what a terrible title

Whoa, why'd this get moved...?

The truth hurts.. I know.

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

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.

Yeah, I was kind of excited for this. I thought "Finally, my kind of content!"
But it turns out I was wrong.

I didn't expect it to be so few people allowed to join. I was picturing a mini "Besieged" like thing from XI where a good number of people could join as they wish (20-30ish max maybe). Not 8-person party content again.
Not complaining, it's just "Oh well, it's not for me" content again.

I thought it was something we could just head over there and join, but it sounds like we'll need a group. Once the excitement of it dies down I doubt there will be many people waiting there to sign up.

Again, "Oh well~" Another something I probably won't do.

Edit: I totally understand if this is something they can't do before 2.0. I do hope in 2.0 we get some interesting open-world content though.

Yep. I'm also a little worried now because if this isn't sposed to be the larger scale PvE we we're told was coming.. then what exactly is.. I can't do a 8man instance-hoping game for much longer.

It could be that this isn't possible until 2.0. :\ Pre-2.0 is really messed up. lol

"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."

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

I completely agree and this is only the 2nd time I see eye to eye with Rokien. I am very disappointed in how this will be implimented. Seriously if I look at all the instances they have add, it makes me wonder if this will be the norm for 2.0. I can understand somethings being 4,8,16 or 32 man groups. That said players need stuff that you can do w/o a small group or full party or instanced. Hamlet defense should not have a group requirement, there is no excuse the Devs or the players can use orr say to justifiy what they have done with hamlets.
