Request for a HARDCORE server!

[Wolfie]

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?

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.

It doesn't make any difference to me. I wouldn't join any such hardcore server.

Live and let live.

Just don't try to implement this shit across the board. Most of the player base of FFXI of which I was a part of has since grown up and got a life. I don't have the time to invest in 16+ hours of game play per day.

1-5 minute spawn times are alien to me... I'm used to FFXI.

Fighting the new NMs as R50 is too easy, many can be solo'd with ease. It is hard to give feedback regarding this without trying to kill these mobs using jobs at the required level to use the items that they drop. I expect pop times are currently set so fast to maximise the feedback given in a short time period.

This was also a fault I found with FFXI. Great if you have a max level job to get you the gear for the next job you level. If you don't then you had better have some high level friends lol...

I think they should make PvP,PvE,Role play and Hardcore servers to satisfy everyone.

The only reason they shouldn't implement such things is because of the strain it might place on development. However, perhaps the amount of time with which it would extend the life of the game and also the amount of players such a system would help retain would be worth the extra cost.

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****......

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.

rewarding everyone just don't seem like the best idea for every type of event. Just my view on it.

its a game.. kinda the point of one, have a fun a rewarding experience.

anyway on topic


if they make a server for everyone there would only be 100 ppl on the server and no one would really know anyway because not everyone is in the same timezone. There are not a ton of of players who can play the game for 5+ hours a day. I met more people who play 1-5 hours. Including the "hardcore" in ffxi. They mostly play at night after work. Which is why most event are that time. So far i never seen anyone beside me in ffxi who played as long as I did everyday.

Game are infact not all that hard. Once you learn how to kill or do something it becomes routine. So even then it is no longer hard after the first kill.

I'm fine with things being easy as long as there's tons to do.
