Letter From the Producer IX.

[Gramul]

If you played this game since release and don't have a 50, you have no excuse really.

Work, school, friends, multiple family deaths. It's been a trying year for me.

I also want content for ALL levels, but I don't understand why we NEED dungeons, of all content to add, at low levels.

We. do. not. need. to. copy. WOW. to. be. successful.

Ragnarok Online has low level dungeons too (like Payon Cave) and is older than WoW. It's not instanced, but a low level dungeon.

It's also stupid if you constantly try to steal people from other games that do what you're trying to do tons better.

@ Wobi, if you played this game since release and don't have a 50, you have no excuse really. Doing leves(2-3 hours per 36 hours at most) will get you 1-50 in a month or so. I also want content for ALL levels, but I don't understand why we NEED dungeons, of all content to add, at low levels.

We. do. not. need. to. copy. WOW. to. be. successful.

-_________- I want to drill this into some MMO devs mind sometime, maybe that will finally make a MMO that isn't a WOW clone exist...

edit: I like the "combing low level dungeon gear to get good gear like salvage" idea. THAT is unique and cool.

I just wish you would quit already clearly they arent making the game you want.

Like the new hubs around and beast tribes villages, more life to Eorzea. But i hope they release something about GC in between this long wait until mid-june... also we need concrete info about new battle system as well.

They Say Quest Hubs, You Guys say Wow Clone, They Say Dungeons, you guys say Wow Clone.
Seriously? Because they are adding something to do other then f*cking grind, its a wow clone? what can we do in this game? rank up, kill nms? For all you guys know these quest could be interesting, look at the quest so far? they all lead to the impending doom of eorzea, so you think these quest will do the same? For f*cks sake, the quest are probably better than world of warcraft STORY. These quest could be very thought out, but you guys instantly become pessimistic. Fourteen has the worst community ever, always look at the bad side, never looks at the good. I wish you guys would encourage something then rather discourage it. Retainers for example, very unique, but many people say to get rid of it. Why not Expand upon it? You think of a route most traveled by, and are resistant to change, you all need to grow up.

(of course you might all be right, but honestly, the quest are fantastic and are very nice, these quest hubs and dungeons? you think they are going to be empty of the storyline?)

Exactly and if you think otherwise GTFO! I sir am a 7 year vet of FFXI and I got to haz my xp grindz on the worlds inhabitants. Eorzea is a good girl and we don't needz nobody showing herz dungeonz off and being explored.

[Shiyo]

I'm just really really hoping that I'm completely wrong about quest hubs and instances being exactly like WOW. It'll destroy me if I'm right, but I'll be so happy if I'm wrong.

We certainly don't need masses of content adding at Rank 50. Adding dungeons at level 30 gives another way to get exp at the point that the exp curve starts to get steep. Add them at a lower level will burn through them quickly. Add everything at rank 50 and there's nowhere else to go from there. Adding new ways to get equipment at rank 50 is good, but most people will only go for the best gear skipping most of the content and complain about the lack of content and that the game is just a grindfest until you reach rank 50.

What i get from that sentence is we are going to be part of the vanguard, but again like most of the posts in this thread, they are only ASSUMPTIONS..

We getting dungeon doesnt mean we'll get dungeon-wow-style.. will people be happier if they call it "insertdifferentname", none of us have any idea what it will be like. NONE.

At the beginning of the post, Yoshida said the R30 and R50 raids were due mid-june.
It was worded poorly, but not poorly enough to walk away thinking that no nevermind, mid-may.

You'll get a report on the lodestone by a fake company scout team about what the dungeons are like in mid-may. Or two weeks.

They probably should not have even said that and just let it be a surprise.
