Request for a HARDCORE server!

I want content that is fun to particpate in, can require large groups of players to enjoy, and everyone benefits from participating not just a LS leader, or a specific member of the party. It should be difficult and require tactics.

Difficulty through Time spent isn't Difficulty or a challenge.

Some of the best fun I had in XI were Beast Seal fights. Great Challenge, Hard Fights, Requires lots of tactics, And everyone can benefit from a few hours of running them.

Yoshi Already stated dungeon style raids with a SE twist will be coming.


Waiting around 12 hours for one fight for a single drop for a single person. Thats not fun, and it isn't hardcore, its insane.

QFT.


I like to consider myself hardcore (though some of the sweeping generalisations made on these forums are APPALLING) but I have to ask: are you taking drugs OP? Seriously now. None of what you have put down is hardcore, just timesink.

Understand the difference. I want to log in one night and fight an NM with my LS that requires us to have tactics, skill and a little luck ala the weapons in final Fantasy VII, etc. I do NOT want to waste time getting there, or dying and then having to run halfway across Hydalyn just to arrive as the NM is downed. That is stupid and not right.
I also do not want to wait for old age to hit me before the NM pops, Im hardcore, not jobless, I have other things to attend to IRL that far outweigh wasting time on a GAME.

I think you need to re-evaluate what you really want out of an MMO.... and then go and find it, as I can guarantee you will always complain of this game.

Everything this man said I agree with and everything any man or woman says that agrees with this I agree with. I want difficult content, I don't want sugar coated time sinks (for example, the RNG Chocobo raising game in FFXI is lame because its all one big fat time sink - for example, Fishing in this game and the animations in between actual fishing are mind numbingly boring and need to be adjusted) Make things FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN and make things DIFFICULT but don't make things take forever for the sake of taking forever. I don't mind the odd NMs that are on a long respawn timer or that require competition on the open world but readily available content such as the faction NMs feel more rewarding at the end of the day.
