What is this ! you people speak of? The ASCII form of the new grass?

No, ASCII grass is as follow:

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

...you get the idea.

I don't know how I feel about it.

Tera had quest chaining like that and I got bored after level 15. It was basically the same quests over and over again with different mobs. I hope they actually make these quests fun and engaging.

I don't know Rokien, can your truly name about the same number of changes to the game that you like, compared to the changes that you obviously hate?
If you can't and your still playing in 2.0, I know the name of a good Sadist looking for her own gimp.

Did you think guild leves were fun ?

Those are the garbage quests instead of having normal quests garbage.

What do you think quests are? Same scheme, just with wider locations. Whether questing, or by exp camp, it's all the same grind. Both should have very comparable levels of exp gain. No reason a game in this day and age has to stick to one, dull system over the other.

Quest based leveling mmos still often give you other ways of leveling. For example when I played WoW I didn't care for quests that much I leveled up a Paladin and a Hunter with questing. I wanted to level a DK but no I wasn't going to go through those same boring quests again. So what I did was finished my starting area. Went tank, got instant queues as a tank in dungeon finder spammed dungeons until I was at level cap. Did it pretty casually too only took a week of playing a few hours each day. So when I was level capped I hardly did any quests on my DK.

It sounds like FFXIV will give you choices, dungeons, quests, or mob grinding, so I don't see the big deal about complaing about quests so much because you get choices.

Hello again, it's me Rokien! So with Reinheart's translation, my initial worry was correct!

"Yes, when you first reach a area by following the “!” (Exclamation mark) it leads to another ! We are currently making those links."

You quoted about half of what was actually said, then made it out to prove your specific view point.

Here is the full quote:

Yes, when you first reach a area by following the “!” (Exclamation mark) it leads to another ! We are currently making those links. By playing just like that you can reach level 7-8 fast. Also that also is linked to learning the game system so it will differ from current play style.

He was referring to the initial start of the game. Please make sure you give context to what you quote, otherwise you come off as being an ass.

That's Rokien, he'll ignore past responses, or parts of interviews, hones in on a few keywords and lets his imagination run WILD. And if the first thread doesn't get enough/his desired responses, well he'll just make another one!
