It's easier to blame it on mobs that melee soloers are getting mauled by as a reason for why people are avoiding doing reives in Yorica instead of accepting people don't do much out there due to the completely worthless map and less than a handful of colonization reives to participate in. Do they even plan to fix that map, or do they honestly feel that it's good as is?

Interested to see what the Gil

Saving Box does, once it hits.

It would take me an hour to get through to the Wildskeeper, just due to how bad the map is. And that is with an online detailed map.

So goddamned tired of people whining that their map isn't good enough. "I can't autorun from A to B and this place is big and scary and confusing!" Boohoo. The entire idea is that we're going into the more unexplored parts of the continent. No ***your map isn't very good.

"Adventurers" my ***.

Then clearly SE should have some trickery up their sleeves where scout coalition can unlock a better map after some criteria is done, even though I'm sure such a thing is impossible with XI. As it is, it's literally just a bunch of brush strokes on a map screen and thrown at the players for about 2k bayld as a map to use in an area that's clearly not going to see much action if the playerbase has any say on it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers to just pull up the ingame map for information instead of having to constantly consult a wiki to get something functional. This is Gridania all over again in the "I can't believe someone got paid money to think this was a good idea" department.

If you compare the map to the player created one, you can see that the paths are actually shown between the hot mess of trees. It's just that the player's relative position isn't correctly shown.

could always draw a pathway with your markers
Or do what they did in .hack and make a map with pen/paper

I'm actually speculating both GEO and RUN :o

If you look closely, there's a GEO hat on the floor behind her (probably had fallen off the mithra).

So very true.

If going by the actual lore of the game, the Ulbukan Continent is largely UNEXPLORED TERRITORY.

These maps, if SE continues with following a lot of the Vana'diel lore, the far North should also have maps that are equally confusing and uncharted. The opposite for the Far East, Far South and Mithran lands as those would be already explored and mapped out.

Casual is like 2-3 hours a week. 2-3 hours a night is just an average player, not hardcore.

Casual for me is like once every three months.

The lore argument is a weak one since the game doesn't accommodate or reward adventuring.

If you were to get or unlock an improved map after doing X,Y,Z for the server then you'd have incentive to go playing around in a dangerous zone that's a living labyrinth. Since all that's in the zone are Reives (Col, Lair and the WK) it is frustrating and a huge waste of time trying to cycle the reives when it's so easy to get lost or get stuck behind those bush obstacles.

Even if you manage to get to the reive without others it's a wash and you're left waiting hours for people to show up. SoA wants to be about cooperation then fails to deliver the tools to do so.

It's not THAT bad but if you REALLY can't navigate Yorcia there's always British Airways!

Why do people keep saying you wont get R/E gear on GEO and RUN...they said they would, but are releasing AF first :o

It might be easy for one to misinterpret intent when they are giving you basically relic+2/Empyrean+2 as AF...but that doesnt mean they've said they're never releasing those sets.

Please...for the love of god SE...release a mog slip for Adoulin gear like you did for treasures stuff, not a Delve slip,a bayld slip, and a wildskeeper slip.

Going by the elements there are 3 possible ones they could add but no word as to when they'd do so and in what manner. The remaining elements are Ice, Darkness and Light.

Then maybe they'll skip an element then XD or the Last Boss for the Expansion's storyline will be where the 8th is implemented and it won't have a proper Reive/Delve battlefield.

And it will also take an army of CORs SMNs and PLDs like every other Naakual. Wish they would make them a little bit different from one another.

They could make it only take light/dark damage and switch aura between the two, rendering the army of QD corsairs that show up to spank it completely useless xD

Concept art promised a white dragon so odds are that'll be associated with the endgame area.

That would explain a lot, the map for Weald kept confusing me. People kept comparing it to the Yuhtunga/Yhoator maps but I never had any problem with those because I never found it too hard to extend the paths logically (I mean you have to do that with the Ravine too anyway until you get really familiar with the reive pathway), and I couldn't really do that with the Weald map.
