Request for a HARDCORE server!

[Abriael]

Im not agaisnt this , i know i would Not play on that server or world.

Not playing on it doesn't mean that that server wouldn't influence overall development. As already said, the more ruleset a game has, the more development times become long. Patches need to be customized for each ruleset, and even more so, they need to be tested for each ruleset.
People are already complaining that development times are too slow. Add different rulesets to them, and you slow down the release of new patches for *everyone*. Including the overwhelming majority that wouldn't care the less about such a servertype.

In a game that already needs a lot of work, wasting development time that can be used to create content and make improvements that can be enjoyed by *everyone* to feed the overgrown ego of a vast minority is literally nonsensical.

yeah im not saying its a must have but it depends on what other players want , i just want see the game be there for all playstyles but not to the effect that its too much of one over the other.

I think the ability for the community to downvote threads into the negatives and get them locked is more important than this.

how many people play eve/darkfall? right... how many people play WoW? right....

who do you think SE is going to try to cater to?

money talks

I also don't understand the requests for different types of servers.

"Give us a server for PVP!" "Give us a server with no instances!" "Give us a server for hardcores!"

There is no profit or point in gimmick servers, because nobody would actually play on these after like a week when the novelty wears off.

Like half the "hardcore" things that people say they would like to see in the game can already be done NOW if you do it voluntarily. You can choose not to use your anima, or only use a single favorite warp point, or whatever you think is hardcore.

Why AREN'T you hardcore?

PvP servers aren't a gimmick, LOL. Most games have them.

Guys... the term Hardcore is so hard to understand for those lazy casual players a****......

dont waste your time to try explain it....

make dev tag posts and hope developers read it.... then cross your fingers...

Its so sad to think that WOW was even harder then FFXIV.....and i hated wow after ffxi every minute of my "game player life"....

The funny thing is that most self elected hardcore are the ones that don't understand what it means. An hardcore gamer is nothing else than a gamer that has a lot of time in his hands to dedicate to gaming.

It has nothing to do with ability, skill or challenge or even effort (playing a game isn't an "effort", as it's a matter of enjoyment).

Mind you, most intelligent gamers will prefer te definition of "core" gamers, as "hardcore" is rather laughable to begin with.

dude... sadly eng is not my mother language...

so ...if you want, we can talk about the right use of the term.....even if this isnt the point ...

I think you know what i mean when i use the word HARCORE...if you are one of those "most intelligent gamers"..

if you are not, i will tell you what I want in battles:

skill
organization
timing
immagination

in game untill now, you only need.... spam...

tank needs to spam aggro ability
dps needs to spam white dmg and a buffed (not every time) BR ... gogo macro!!
mage needs to spam healing

I dont know if you have done some of the high rank NMs....

After last patch, the NMs that was easy before ....now are really stupid!

Maybe you like this kind of game... but you waste your time to try to convince someone that the game is ok for the challenging part...

Im a fan of ""CORE"" games... i dont ask for a FFXI-2....but FFXIV is depressing like this...

As much as I would enjoy seeing SE waste development time on a server nobody will play, I would prefer the alternative of just adding content to the game.
