Pre 2.0 Launch world attack/boss.

[Mushy]

I like the ideas guys. its a shame the client/server cannot handle it though... 2.0 needs some epic battles. Anyone else think hamlet defense will be upgraded to something thats more than just 1 or 2 parties in an instance?

If 2.0 is a success and lots of subscribers hit and ps3 version sells well we could see an expansion where we are going to other continents that are currently under Garlean occupation, and what I described in the OP is one of the scenarios to freeing that land of garlean control.

I think live events that you have to be subscribed for in order to experience it should continue in 2.0 as it keeps the world fresh. I still remember when that prophet Urianger was showing up at camps talking crazy and giving you lots of cool boosts. Later he started to appear in cutscenes and you found out he was one of the good guys. That is pretty small thing, but if you weren't there you are never going to experience it. I think they could continue with things like this small and big.

So thumbs up for 'Live Events' continuing in the future!

[Sarcasm]As long as its instanced and the enemy's are Enlarged im all for it [/Sarcasm]

[notsureifserious] I agree they definitely need to make the models 12x as big than they currently are. Even NPCs should be giants. though Lalafell should be half their current size[/notsureifserious]

Well, Not hoping that much due to server limit...

But I would like to see hordes of garlean soldiers making a siege on the 3 cities where everyone who login can only be in their gc cities helping the NPCs to defend the city.

A huge war where players that have died once in the siege are not allowed to participate in battle again.
(Real life Death?)

but they are still be able to participate by doing DoH/DoL request from quartermasters.

NPCs will spawn faster when some requirements are met.
(Helping to gear up a recruit...)

Thinking of equipment based:
- Bsm,Arm -> more glad, mrd , lnc Npcs
- carp,lw -> more arc
- wvr, gsm -> more thm
- carp, wvr -> more cnj
- lw, gsm/bsm -> more pug
- alc/cul -> gives more hp/mp and other buffs to npcs

Cant really think of how DoL can participate but making repairs to walls or delivering supplies to respective NPCs to activate the bonuses listed (Supplies will be subtracted from the amt the DoH submitted).

Cities will have a hp meter to show how far it will be captured and DoL which help making repairs will add abit of HP to it.

Be it if the city wins or falls, it can be used as a starting point for other contents in 2.0.

....we should fight the moon!

Kind of hope the whole Dalamud situation pans out like this:

Well since this is obviously wanted, but not going to happen with current client/server. Would you guys/gals welcome this sort of content for 2.0? Perhaps whenever they finish the story arc where Garleans are the bad guys. After that we can have a new arc where Lalafells get tired of being punted then become evil WITH RED GLOWING EYES! and its us Lalafells vs. the other races. I want to play the role of the bad guy.. the bad little guy. Go ahead take my idea SE everyone knows its been a long time coming. <evil laugh>

why would you even have a staff controlled npc? anyway, server cant handle non instanced massive things.

or instanced things.

[Mushy]

Staff would be so it isn't so scripted, and could shout things at us. It was just an idea of it being a staffer part time since the battle would take days. Imagine your enemy says your name after it kills you.. "Puny Majidah! your <whm name here> cannot help you!" BAM you die! but its just an idea... it can be scripted. but if it was staffer when it finally got low on HP it could run to another location closer to where its conjurers are to aid him in heals.

and I know this client/server cannot but I am hoping 2.0 infrastructure can, so now I was asking if people would like to see a server wide battle like this in the future when things aren't so... 1.0ish
