What do you want to see in FFXI-2?

22. Able to find a party that is forming up so you can ask them to join.

As a party leader, would you really want to be bombarded with /tells from a dozen DDs when you already have 3 or 4 DDs in your party?

Balfree... tldr.

Well I'm sure I'll go back on my lunchbreak, but I wanted to say this before the thread hit 5 pages by 3pm:

Stop dogging the PS2. It's way too late for them to adjust the game. Just deal with FFXI the same way we have for about 5ish years now and let SE learn how to properly construct a game.

I think for a first effort they did some great things, and recently have been catering to the fans HARDCORE.

But other than that, everyone made great suggestions and threw around awesome ideas.

The game'll have to be MUCH bigger to accommodate that many people in an area. Imagine if everyone on at any given time at any given level range wanted to exp.

The Jungle would need to be at least 15 times larger, have more camps and the respawn rate of monsters would need to be faster. Hopefully SE takes that into consideration. It'll be interesting to see how their next MMO handles the server issue.

Personally, anywhere I go on the internet, my chosen Moniker of choice isn't taken. I feel bad for the people who are CloudXXXXXIIIIIIIVVVVVVV9. It gets a little old.

There definitely should be penalties for that, because there are a BUNCH of people running around Gilgamesh with the same name (Yuna to Yunaaaaaaaaaaa. I shit you not.)

Yes please don't blame the ps2. It was a great piece of arcitecture. And yes it is holding FFXI back graphics wise. But if you want graphics Bioshock, crysis ect is that way. ->

I suppose you're right. But expand on the idea.. im just throwing ideas around. "Party seeking healer.." "Party seeking tanker..", maybe something along those lines.

Hmm, it would be nice if they made an off-line version so people without the time (or patience) to deal with MMOG stuff (meaning other people) could still enjoy the world and the story.



PS >Hopefully XIII will be big enough to cover for that.

Voice Chat is a disease. I'll kindly thank the masses not to breathe into a microphone.

Re: What do you want to see in FFXI-2?

Perhaps so, but why not let people who like it have it? Form channels if they want to. I dont speak from experience but Dynamis leaders would probably like that.

Why not let people have it?

Because in each instance where keyboard or voicechat options are given, people start forming little "voice chat only" groups. Just try it in any FPS, some people won't let you join a particular hosted game if you use a keyboard and will kick you for trying to play.

It should be all voice or all keyboard, never both.

Voice chat still doesn't seem all that practical for MMORPGs at the moment, anyway. Just imagine the strain it would put on servers designated for that.

Re: What do you want to see in FFXI-2?

More chat windows and better filters would be better, since I also think voice chat is bad for the experience. I mean, just thinking about all those WoW videos with voices included (Leeroooy) makes me wanna stop playing online games altogether.

FPS are another story though.

But then again giving players options to choose from is always a good thing, and while I'd turn it off and forget it exists I can see most players using it at least for events.

I don't want to hear a prepubescent Galka or that Mitra who's name is Bug Gus.

Voice chat is a horrible, horrible thing for fantasy MMO's.

Re: What do you want to see in FFXI-2?

I want:
- A tanking system that's not backwards (hi2u DD PLD tanks and any-job-that-can-hide-behind-shadows-and-do-big-numbers. And yes, I'm aware I'm a fervent advocate of DD PLD tanking, because it is efficient, but that doesn't make it any less backwards.)
- Wider selection of magical DDs
- Pet jobs that really shine in parties or otherwise cooperative scenarios.

Re: What do you want to see in FFXI-2?

I'd like to see smaller parties be able to do more- say the range of 3-4 people. I dont know if this could be done with scaleable monsters and events, but from a selfish point of view, I really have only a small handful of real life friends who play this game, and It'd be nicer if we could do most anything with just us 4-5.

There was an update to FFXI to allow this in conquest areas. Guess where that went.

You should hear my dynamis ls talk on skype then. It can be a disease or it can be better than slice bread. Just depends on our moods. Puller, main caller, leader, main rdm, main nin kiter all at once ;P

Yeah, I remember that update. Due to some people moving, we havent really been able to sit back down and really test that out. Personally the thing I liked most from that update was the signet effect when resting.
