More Dynamic Content Please :)

[Delmontyb]

As a long time supporter and podcaster of all things XIV I figured I should weigh in on some ideas, or more or less one idea that I would find enjoyable.

If others have already posted this idea, then I'm sorry for duplicating the issue, but I would love to see Dynamic content added into this game. By dynamic the thoughts I have in my head are a pack or a unit of beastmen/empire soldiers that decide to attack the city or a camp and everyone in the area can join together to fight them back (This joining together would happen naturally as players would have the option to join the resistance or group).

This shouldn't happen at a set time frame, but often enough that it makes the world feel alive and dangerous. Players who help would be rewarded so there is an incentive other then sp/xp to jump into this public instance. Anyway, think behest, but open to all, and not at the same interval. And it would seem very natural, and since the zones are so large, there would be or could be multiple public quests/instances/raids of this going at once.

The last part to this is that players would need to know if something was going on, so hopefully on the mini map and main map as well, you could see any public quest/instance/raid that was going on and go there if you wanted to join in.

Now, this might be what is planned for hamlet defense and perhaps something similar is already in the works, but I would love to hear some work back on if Final Fantasy XIV plans to support dynamic and public quests/raids/battles.

"Grand Companies Of Eorzea" are supposed to be a mix of raids and public quests from the hints we have gotten.

There are many threads about content, but thank goodness you have one of the more constructive and direct posts. They've already said they were going to add such content, but haven't released so much about it yet.

We are hoping for wednesday or thursday for the public company pages to open up.

Wow... I think this is a really great idea... it would be nice grinding and then a random event such as a raid occured on a camp.... I think there should also be a penalty of some sort if the camp is captured or destroyed. Possibly a more anima costly telepot to the camp or no teleporting while it is under control of beastmen.

Public quests would also be a nice touch. Something like a rank capped fight of a beast in a region that takes a group to take it down. Maybe some crafting quests similar to this.

While I like the idea of more public stuff and whatnot....on the flip-side, it needs to be handled with care.

To give an example, I played Rift for a month, and they have the public rifts that open up and attack camps and stuff. The first few times it's fun, even exciting, but when you're trying to turn in a quest or do anything else, it becomes annoying, and boring. If they can keep it to the point where A) It's not required for me to have fun, or do something and B) It's not every 30 minutes like the rifts are, then I'll be down for that.

Yes, I could see how that would get old fast, so balancing would be needed.

That's my hope, and I know we are supposed to be getting information soon, but in the case this isn't apart of the Grand companies then I'll post more wants.

I gathered that too from the hints, so hopefully the dev team will show us that they have planned, or give us a idea if something like this (don't have to be this) is going to be added into the game.

While I can see people being annoyed if they can't go to that camp, I think it would server to "motivate" players to take back the camp.
