Everything gets boring after a while.
3 months from now people will be complaining Voidwatch is gettin old too :P
But thats okay, cause its human to get tired of the same activity over and over. unless its something you REALLy fking love.

I think the difference was, when there's more choice in terms of EG, you don't just have to keep doing the same thing and get burned out on it.

I think it'd be interesting to see more job-specific armor sets come out of Voidwatch or one of the later updates. Whatever the case, the updates they're planning look pretty fancy~

I think the real boredom comes when the at first robust system Abyssea introduced became nothing more than farming the exact same thing over and over again in a short time period rather than a long one. Previous events were scheduled as "today we're getting Ulli then Byakko, if time permits completing other pops" and the occassional (more or less depending on who you rolled with) complete sky farm. Now it's "today, we're doing Bukhis." No mention of needing his pop items, you'll get 10 sets though. You burn yourself out on one and the only time you need to come back is someone was left with 5/6 stones.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I loved Abyssea when it first came out. Those that were around here then know how much time I spent on maintaining the Abyssea thread. Once the second expansion was released, it went straight downhill.
I haven't read through the latest update schedule completely, but I hope they find a way to breathe more life into non-abyssea FFXI.

It looks to me like SE is trying to breath a lot of new life into the game. Curious, they seem to be putting a lot more time and effort into FFXI then they are with FFXIV...

Quetzalcoatl.Palides said: Ragnarok.Sekundes said: Ugh... 100 125 150.... I hope they go a different way with this crap... maybe a combination of triggers from some very hard mobs rather than "Bring me 150 shrubberies!" and spend all the time fighting the same damn mob over and over.
Blah Blah Blah, reading comprehension where?
Stop being a tool that's pretending to be smart and read what you quoted.
Combination of triggers.
ie. Instead of 50 carabosse gems for a masa, 10 glav, 10 cara, 10 fistule, 10 Briareus, + 10 chloris.

tbh, that kind of system would be... cool

I was thinking Grounds of Valor would be more of a battlefield type thing,
makes sense if you think of it as Battlegrounds (of Valor).

sorry man
THE UPDATE NOTES WERE SO INFORMATIVE IM SURE WE JUST HAVE 10 MORE PAGES OF RAMBLING TO DO ABOUT IT HOLY ***
April – September 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Three version updates are slated for this period.
Generally, major patches will see the release of new content, whereas minor patches will focus on the refinement of existing features. Job adjustments will form part of all version updates, though the scope of changes may vary.
May Major Version Update
“Voidwatch,” a new battle system designed with high-level adventurers in mind, will be introduced alongside new battlefields in order to reinvigorate existing areas. Rounding off the host of battle-related improvements planned for this patch is a major overhaul of Dynamis, which will include monster redistribution.
Playability-enhancing tweaks are also in the pipes, such as an auction house merger and delivery system improvements.
June Minor Version Update
This version update will revolve around fine-tuning content introduced in May.
August Major Version Update
The level cap will be raised to 95 and accompanied by a broad range of changes; new content and job abilities will be added, and existing ones adjusted. This penultimate stage in the level cap increase will usher in large-scale changes while preserving balance in anticipation of the impending final rise to level 99.
The test server will be launched as the testing and fine-tuning grounds for new content being planned, and can be considered a realm wherein adventurers can experience new features under development. More details regarding the server will be made available in the near future
July – September 2011: Test Server to Go Live
In conjunction with the test server, subforums dedicated to hosting player feedback will be established in the official forums, the two combining to mark the birth of a new development cycle as outlined below.
1) Content under development
2) Content announced via the test server and official forums
3) Testing
A) Player testing and feedback
B) Testing by Development and QA teams
4) Fine-tuning
Balancing and debugging based on the findings of step 3; test server updated
(*Repeat from step 2)
5) Version update released
October 2011 – March 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------------
With the introduction of the test server, we intend to shift from alternating between major and minor patches to more frequent version updates, each of which will host the latest fruit of the new development and testing cycle.
Version Update Highlights
Level cap increase to 99
New adventurer growth elements
Job adjustments
In-game systems:
-----
Voidwatch parts 3 and 4
The Last Stand (name TBA)
Dungeon crawling (name TBA)
New battlefields
New Grounds of Valor areas
New treasure casket areas
Monster redistribution
Fellows adjustments and additions
Level cap increase (95 and 99)
New summonable areas
Crafting adjustments and additions
Synergy: recipes to augment existing gear
Synthesis: skill cap increase
Playability enhancements
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep in mind that items featured in the roadmap and their implementation schedule are subject to change. Further details about these and other new content will be released as soon as they become available, so stay tuned to the official channels.
