Interview of Naoki Yoshida during the Japan Expo

[Andrien]

nice questions in this interview. i'm more hyped for 2.0 now


nothing is wrong with instance if there is a good balance. so people, quit with the paranoia and just wait and see.

1. I think having a potential auto-win button in PvP/Frontlines will be the incentive here which is why I don't give more than a day for top shells to create a tracking utility like they did with Sandworm and Ixion in XI.

2. This. In the end with the exception of some, they just made em spawnable via items you gained from BCNMs.

No doubt there will some kind of tracking bot out. Also lol I know we have no idea how PVP will work...but it sounds like they summon the primal..does 9999+ damage and kills everyone...oh wow they really showed me >.> Gimmie one sec while I respawn and run back to kill them heh. I love PVP..(I was a hero on Bartz in L2, obsessed with it) so I hope they do this right..I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt lol

EU hotfix--
yay! =D

Oh no forum violence, what will I do !!

Relax. I can't really hit you over the internet. That's just me expressing my frustration with smarmy dime a dozen bullshit remarks that overly try to play it cool by adding "I'm so secure just look at my calm emoticon" trinkets all over their point.

XI had plenty of great instances.

Mission battlefields and BCNMs where you were laughed off the party for not having the "right" job =/= great instances.

Jinko is the type of MMO player that thinks open world content = bad and competition = outdated MMO gameplay.

Considering it creates the bad kind of competition (the one that leads to needless drama), he's not that far off the mark.

I would much prefer to see open world public events occur where the whole server has to work together to kill something, such as a Weapon or something, not sure how you would rewards players for this, but it would be much more interesting than standing around camping a spot of grass or watching someone else kill something.

Indeed. This is sort of the approach taken for Besieged, which as we know was very popular in its hayday.

I'm willing to concede for open world content, if and only if equivalent loot drops can be obtained in instanced content. Doesn't have to be exact replicas. You could have:

Dragonhide Cuirass (HNM drop)
+10 STR +9 VIT +15 Accuracy

and

Drakeskin Jacket (Instance drop)
+9 STR +10 VIT +15 Accuracy

XI's big problem was lack of alternatives. Its entire NM design was built on it.

Hey guys,

I am glad to see so many passionate opinions being expressed here, but when they degenerate into attacks on one another as well as others, it needs to be toned down. I think this is a great thread with some really good posts, and so I don't want to have to undo it all. Please try to keep on-topic, and keep the comments constructive please. Otherwise, we may have to lock or delete the thread.

Thanks,
