Hamel Defense BRING IT BACK!

[Enkidoh]

1.0's Hamlet Defense was literally replaced with other game systems in ARR (the trading in items to increase Hamlet supplies was added to Grand Companies, and later, city restoration content like Doma and Ishgard; and the 'enemies attacking a village' situation became many different FATEs, such as at Highgate, Poor Maid's Mess and Hyrstmill).

Plus we had a similar thing to Hamlet Defense in general in the original incarnation of the Diadem and... well... look how that turned out (i.e. first gutted of the Doth/DotL aspect, then dumbed down to just be a NM fest). So I do not see it ever coming back to how it was in 1.0 alas.

Besieged was cooler.

Urghh... it sucked (there was a reason Whitegate became known as 'Laggate'). And the amount of times I couldn't hire a chocobo to get to an EXP party because the stupid chocobo handler in Aht Urhgan had gone and gotten himself kidnapped by mamol'jaa or whatever during the previous attack... Thank Altana those days are long gone.

Those days were the best! I loved besieged in FF 11. It was something different and new. I never got bored of it.

I support the return of Hamlet.

Behest in different zones would be a really cool addition too. I worry they might be a fad if the rewards aren't more than just EXP, but I would still love them to be re-added for the experience.

Hamlet Defense and Behests are two of the experiences from 1.0 era I miss the most.

I loved the Hamlet defense was a lot of fun I have lot of nice memories from 1.0. I also loved besieged in FFXI.

On a different note I loved campaign in FFXI it was so much fun and players had a purpose of working together, something now this games lacks I feel.

I also wish we had the point tallying up each week and make it so the GC actually mean something. It was a lot of fun seeing who the winners where each week and added a little bit of friendly competition. It was great who controlled areas and you had perks. I dislike how pvp chooses what nation you go with now.

I really wish the devs would listen to some of the feedback and add these things and Hamlet would be right up there for me

Exactly.I don't think the dev care on what we want... they just gonna keep copying and pasting the same old content in each expansion
