Make BLM popular for regular exp parties again? <Yes, please.>

Maybe popular isn't the right word. How about "somewhat desirable"? -_-

There is only one thing missing from SMN that I can see and that is Multi attack for avatars. Everything else has that ability post 30 but Avatars.

I wonder if that Arena thing will be used in whitegate? Well one of the Aht areas. I'd like to see some solo bcnm type things for every job (like some of the other RPG games)

1st level = 1 easy mob
2nd level = 1 different easy mob
3rd level = 2 easy mobs
etc
etc

Each level you would win items starting with potions and ending with something nice PCC or Vermy. Maybe only be able to get the super high item 1time, then every other run you get a potion or exp scroll or something.

I can dream can't I =D

"large-scale battle system called "Salvage", "

I'm scared of the "large-scale" part of that sentence, if it's anything like Besieged, I know I won't like it. Let's try some small scale stuff people can actually play please?

The Midlands - Bastok, San Doria, Windurst still have expansion areas and the developers know this. Just study a map and you will see large areas of space that have not been tapped.

What's west of the Highlands? In Altep, what about those expanses of desert coastline not accessible? Canyon - area east, where can I see the coastline? Ride the airship an you see a different view. They have so much to expand. Hell they should bring besiege to Midland in these areas.

Just my thoughts...

To be honest, I would like to see something to kill the /nin craze.
Yes, I understand the awesomeness of /nin in a lot of situations.
I still miss the War/mnks or War/thfs with a Greataxe. The last one I saw was in the CN and he Tanked like a champ. Str/Vit/Def gear chaining VT crawlers was awesome EXP. And a year ago.
Remember when Double AND Triple Strike went off during SATA?
I have nothing against /nin. (outside that I dislike playing as a nin in general. Just see my sig for proof.)

Good times, for both casual and hardcore gamer alike.

Beseiged by lag

I think the "idea" of Beseiged is an awesome one, and it is a lot of fun.

But something about the mechanics of it, that causes all that lag, really detracts from something that could really set FFXI apart from other MMORPGs.

Capping it at 700 people doesn't do much good, when you have any more than 300 PCs, fighting upwards of 160 mobs, the lag gets so horrible, you can only see 10 objects at a time.

There are some ways to fix Beseiged:

1. Section it off. Separate people into the different areas of the zone, and keep them there. Run it like an instanced encounter, each with a random general leading the forces there.
2. Instance the event by separating by alliances, then parties, then individuals. Adjust the monster #'s and level accordingly, so that there are a maximum of 60-100 PCs in each instance.

If the problem with Beseiged, lies in the end users' hardware and its capability to handle the amount of players/mobs in a zone, then SE should be creating this to cater to the masses. Not just the masses with the highest end systems.

Hell yes. Make Corsair's relic the pimpin White/Black Coat motiff that the dark captain sports in that ship battle (if I recall, The Black Coffin BCNM, or maybe it was The Ashu Taliff, tier 1).

Man hope this Salvage extend to the other areas besides Aht Urghan....gets annoying that every update is geared more towards those areas. Throw some of these things the other way to keep the original areas fresh and still interesting. I was in a besieged event the other day healing people and I couldnt even see what was hitting because the lag is horrible!!! I avoid the new expansion area as much as possible because of the horrible lag. Well maybe POL will gimp Dark again with their new job adjustments like more dmg with scythe but double the delay >_<

I doubt they'll be outside aht urhgan. It'll probably be a dynamis/limbus experience. Dynamis originated in the RoZ package, correct? (Soon crossed over to CoP, but w/e) Limbus is and probably always will be CoP, correct?

Salvage will probably be ToAU only, for now at least. Not dismissing your thought, however :)
