Ghosttown's and stupid mobs

[MissPagen]

You're not wrong here. A lot of what I love in Guildwars 2 is that there is random actual voiced chatter as you roam the map/town. Like, there's a guided tour going on in one of the hubs that you could theoretically follow the NPC group and learn something.

There are kids that play tag and run around; there are people that actually have fairly elaborate errands they do. There are also "critters" (level 0, 1 hp animals) like seagulls or rats that just wander around adding life.

Ultimately, it's unnecessary to play the game.. but man it makes a difference.

Spot ON. :-)

I have now almost played the game to level 80 - my first level 80. I really found the game exciting, but something that has been a bit strange throughout my leveling is; - that even though the world is full of mobs and NPCs and despite a really nice weather system, the world seems dead all over! The mobs stand still on the same spot or move only a few steps around, Even though a mob is killed 1 inch away from another mob, that mob do respond at all! When you fly up in the sky and look down, you can see mobs scattered around for miles, but still it feels almost lifeless! Towns in general are often ghosttown, i was so exited to visit Ishgard, a really cool citadel; - but again.... dead! Today there is maby 100 people in the main city's, but there should be thousands of people in all the main cities, and mobs roaming the area outside; - some mobs roaming in pact's; - even stealthed mobs from time to time, that would be scary to level up alone.

I'm sure there will be more with a different opinion, others who think's the game is 100% perfect, but this is MY opinion; - my experience. I have taken my time in the game and have already played several hundred hours; - so I have a bit of experience and at the same time, a little fresh eyes on the game.

Final Fantasy XIV has otherwise taken me by storm, what a fantastic game and what a fantastic gripping story. Final Fantasy XIV is a wonderful experience, but is certainly not perfect; - and it probably never will be either. I look forward to the 'endgame', waiting anxiously to be surprised; - everyone says that this is where the fun starts!

FFXIV is one big lobby.

Maybe once PS4 support is dropped can we get more elaborate towns, wildlife, etc.

PS4 is not the limitation. That falls on server side. Hopefully they raise the minimum PC specs to PS4 this expansion.

When what, going to complain PS5 holds the game back when the fact is they still have to cater to low spec pc's. PS4 isn't what holds back the development or innovation of this game.

Ishgard feels alive due to all the new players and the firmament. Idyllshire feels alive because most people go there for Khloe and other things. Crystarium can feel very very dead due to it not being a endgame hub, same for Kugane.

Mobs are line of sight. If you want tough mobs go to Eureka or Bozja. The regular areas are mainly for leveling.

You have completely misunderstood my text; - I don't mean players (IRL). I think there is a great shortage of NPCs in general in the FF world. I mean, one should feel like the world is alive, even though I'm the only person on the server.

It must be your first MMO or you were not paying attention to this detail, before.

I am 56 and have played(tryed) ALL MMO in the market since 1990. :-)

I think it depends on the server really; some places are more livelier then others because a particular server will have many large groups of people who focus their daily activities in certain places.
