Next expansion needs to be Open World

[AshleyDragon]

Make the game exciting again, the new areas needs to be open world without any loading screen to make it feel like an adventure, remove the skill sync in low level content nobody cares if its unbalanced everything dies quickly already, stop adding jobs and add more depth to the ones we currently have like skill trees, nobody cares there's a meta build having ways to experiment is fun anyway, return to making Job Quests so jobs can have an identity, add job rewards similar to alliance quests so we can have reasons to level other jobs other than just playing the same with a different weapon, add Pets jobs again there are not excuses that PS3 era could have them and we can't now.

So many things that can be done and we're still getting the same game for 10 years now but worse, no wonder the game keeps dying.

[Enkidoh]

Oh yes, 'dying' like it's been supposedly meant to have been for the past 13 years, repeatedly. Seems whenever there's something that players do not like in the game it's supposedly the game's death knell. *rolls eyes*

And it's never going to be open world again, the closest you're going to see is the large zones begun with HW. They tried open world in 1.0 and well, we all know how that turned out. Big open expanses of nothing.

I care. They rather need to sync things tighter so everything doesn't melt.

add more depth to the ones we currently have like skill trees

My guess is they plan something like this since they've mentioned it specifically as an idea being floated.

return to making Job Quests so jobs can have an identity

Job quests were nice but the sheer amount to get through was overwhelming, causing people to just level jobs and ignore the quests. They tried removing crucial abilities as rewards from them but that didn't make the situation better, because most people weren't aware level 80 job quests were a thing due to them not being blue.

At least they change the dialogue as you progress MSQ. You can still go and tell them about your recent adventures.

add Pets jobs again there are not excuses that PS3 era could have them and we can't now.

Beast master is in the works.

Like it doesn't already, 1-2 and sometimes 1 in dungeons on 90% of the content isn't fun.

I never said to put skills locked by Job quests, i said to make again job quests to give the jobs an identity, which they've been lacking since Stormblood.

Yeah no. Jobs that cannot access 99% of the content without a party shouldn't be allowed in an MMO.

How does loading screens make it feel like not an adventure?

You already said it

We need our skills when synced, but not at the expense of things dying faster. They're separate issues that need addressing.

I agree, but i doubt the devs can deliver which is why i don't have hope for it

I don't care even if it's "nothing". It's way more immersive to actually travel around the map and explore it rather than just teleporting from one Aetheryte to another. Current map design isn't any better than 1.0. I don't even remember most areas, because what I always do is I tp to the Aetheryte, fly on my mount, hit auto run and alt+tab. There must be obstacles that you have to fly around, enemies that can kill you if you're not paying attenton, meaningful points of interest. Things like that. And there must be no invisible walls.

It breaks immersion.
