"We miss the currently unused areas of the game with large maps and adventure, can there be work done to make the campaign weapons/weaponskills unlocked and harder or "Surged" Campaign areas with 119+ content!?

Like this people if you think its a good idea! You matter! "

I think I just experienced an epileptic fit imagining SE trying to revitalize Campaign. Some things need to stay dead.

Try my avatsr! :)

At this point, any updated content would be better than nothing. But Campaign is not the first thing that comes to my mind.

I actually disagree, since any updated content takes away from the efforts of the skeleton development crew. Would much rather they focus all energy on doing a substantial piece of new content to align with Empyrean +2/+3 reforge, and doing that right. I'm fine dealing with the continued Ambu/Divergence/Omen grind, and the handful of updated HTBFs for the meantime while we wait for that.

That being said, if they're gonna update any old content, anything but Campaign. If I had to pick one, I was kinda sad with how underwhelming Limbus v2 turned out - they could go back to that well for a more significant attempt at making something that mirrors the feel of old Limbus but with ilevel difficulty and rewards.

I used to love doing Campaign Battles back in the day, especially on jobs that weren't as popular when it came to getting party invites.

I actually wouldn't mind a 119 version of it, to be honest, as long as it gave us Capacity Points and gear worthy of our time.

Agreed, i was expecting salvage 2.0 level of content for limbus2 and all we got is 2 extra zones and an upgraded omega/ultima. Would love a proper retry with that content

think that you should also up the trial of magian weapons to 119 so that we can continue to have fun grinding out our favorite weapons to their maximum potential

This one still baffles me to be totally honest. They had a goldmine here, but just gave up on it.

it doesn't get much easier than adding a trial, no new content just some dialog.

You guys would grind literal millions of killshots for DMG+1 from now until the end of eternity.

I loved campaign! It would be cool to have an ilevel version of it, but it would have to give job points or something lol.

is there really a difference? honestly?

But for real, tell me you wouldn't go start a trial right now for torcleaver wsd+1% no matter how many kills it took, with no cap. Kill a billion get wsd+20% kill a trillion get wsd+100% and on and on and on.

or MAB+1 or Cure+1% or Meva+1

...doing missions on mules and I come across a NM that dropped Campaign: + gear.
I used to try and collect these because of how awesome it made you during a battle. Campaign 2.0 yes please, but doubt that is anywhere in their list of ***to do at the moment

This is the best idea I've heard anyone come up with in my life!

yup, no thank you. drowned out the music for areas I DID enjoy for a significant amount of time in those zones. now, "Bustle of the Capital", on the other hand, is still a feeling of comfort and home.

Campaign was fun as hell (especially when you were soloing) and Roar of the Battle Drums was one of my favorite OSTs. That said, I definitely don't want an ilevel verison of it. Bring me an iLevel Limbus or Nyzul any day of the week, I still think that those and Assaults were SE's best events.

Are you trying to cause an epileptic fit with that avatar?


As a known epileptic among friends on Leviathan and Bahamut, I'll be sending the OP a bill for my ambulance ride.

Uncapped is obviously unrealistic. Many people would never feel it's enough and would do nothing else but that. Now choosing between all weapons and jobs on top of that.. nightmare. By Trial of Magian weapons I would rather expect 119 version of tp bonus, 2-4, etc. not Empyrean weapons.

That's literally the point. It would keep them playing f.o.r.e.v.e.r. with next to zero input or effort.

And the sad part? They really would keep going forever, it's an infinite carrot.

Campaign was only fun back in the day because it came with a risk of dying. All of WoTG zones were dangerous back in the day. Hell I still remember a thrilling battle I had against a Gnole as pld/dnc that I agroed while questing. We used to have to shout for retrace and run all around. With the addition of trusts and homepoint warps there really isn’t any risk of dying, campaign would need an entire reimagining to be even remotely interesting. I’m all for using the bosses and unique NM’s from campaign to do something more interesting though.

Campaign was only deadly when a general was involved or no one else was there. The zones themselves, on the other hand, were a mix of safety or danger which was certainly thrilling at the time, but nowadays it would either just be frustrating or a non-issue because of mounts. Even having your personal chocobo then, there were still a lot of risks in traveling.
