[devPLEASE] Dynamic World - If Ever You Do Something - Do This!

[viion]

From what I understand:
Everybody shares quests
The quests are chained and effect the content
These are eventually reset at the end of the quest line

It's a cool concept but not enough to change the way FFXIV's system works. I love me some good story line, and entering a quest that is already half way done seems kind of awkward.

People tend to forget the massive arsenal of innovation that FFXIV has:
Position based combat
Armory System
An upward crafting system (where various classes rely on other classes i.e. DoL->DoH->DoW/M)
Beautiful Graphics (on top of characters seeming to be lifesize... lots of MMOs have a wierd problem where the character doesn't feel as big when playing)

Even with that amazing concept of Dynamic World thing, I don't see myself switching over to GW2 anytime soon. I thought about it before I saw footage... and after seeing it.. meh

See you are again totally misguided, you're forming an opinion without any knowledge on the subject. The whole Chain is like 20% of the system, there is another 80% of the system you're completely missing. There is no "Reset" on quest line, it isnt even a quest line, there is non, they're events. There is story also, plenty of lore.

Its Dynamic.

Also GW2 has position based combat, thats old, it also lets you equip multiple weapons, the crafting system in XIV is nothing good, people hate hating it hence why it got dumbed down so much. Graphics are only good because copy/paste, expect a reduce in graphics (we've already been told) in 2.0 lol

It's still going to come back later. You'd run out of farms to protect, enemies to kill or whatever if these things were permanent.

The crops are gone until real world changes happen, not magically viola they reappear, it could take days, weeks, depending on the content, Because when they're gone, the farmer needs to start from scratch, they need to increase their prices to pay for the cost of the loss, thus it has consequences, which you pay for, for not protecting, and then it will get back. It could get attacked again the mean time tho.

Its all player controlled.

Some stuff, like bridges breaking or doors smashing, they are permanent until player goes and sorts it, like repairing.
