Campaign...

[Kurokikaze]

Anyone else finding it incredibly hard to do anything with Campaign going on for 2 hours with 10 second intervals? -_-;;

[Zumi]

Nobody been able to get a windurst card cause Campaign never stops. Its hard to unlock sch or do map quests cuase well theres campaign. SE really needs to lower the rate at which these happen.

I popped Chainspell right after trading 12 Vellum to the Scholar quest NPC, not knowing she'd disappear right after the CS. /sigh, waiting for both Chainspell and her to be up again so I can get out of here... didn't feel like running back. She seems to disappear for 40 minutes at a time.

[Octavious]

emergency maintenance to fix this crap? I hope just got the message

[EdgeMoragan]

I logged for maint, friend says it was over 5 minutes ago.

I still blackscreen on logging in.....

[Zinnashin]

Here I thought it was common sense that things are constantly going on during war time.

Then again, it IS about the Crystal War...why would it hold true to how wars truly progress? <_<

[LinktheDeme]

This expansion is just gay really poorly done imo. They just took the concept oh people like Besieged so the next expansion should be only about besiesged. I don't know about a lot of people but i only like besieged like once a week max. So far this has no storyline, no missions, no quests, no gear, no exp areas. It's just a constant Besieged always if they only use that concept it will fail hard. No ones going to want to exp outside TOAU unless they give an exp bonus as well.

The expansion re-used pretty much EVERY map, implemented two pretty simple jobs, and pretty much broke everything else. Not to mention the marathon around the world when the npcs arent there half the time. Iunno could just be me QQing but so far this expansion pretty meh unless they stop relaying on besieged for their theme

I dont think its bad I'm getting solo exp as whm from participating in battle and 600exp a fight! its not compulsory either, the fortifications are actually really good, the npc AI is pretty cool

[Lovian]

is it level 75xp only or can you level up other jobs through campaign?

[Zinnashin]

Again, I don't recall wars irl having "Ok guys, let's all meet up here stand in a straight line, and shoot at each other, let's see who's left standing, deal? *shakes hands*"

...oh wait, that used to happen till they found out it was pointless to do as such.

War = no order on the battlefield. Period.

NPCs disappearing = "OH FUCK I DON'T WANT TO DIE".

Seriously, the expansion is fine thus far, if it doesn't please you...don't use any of its content.

The most simple concept seems to be the hardest for people to follow.

[evilpaul]

If they wanted to make it like a real war, you'd stand around and do nothing 90% of the time. Either waiting for something to happen or moving from one place to another with lots of stuff. But that would not be very entertaining (and I think we get enough of it gathering for events anyway).

Other than the cumbersome navigation, which we had initially with ToAU what with no Chocobos and not having Runic Portal access (or the IS to use them), it looks ok so far. I'd be happy getting around just knowing what mobs aggro to what, and having some maps.

Orange tiger hides actually dropping would be nice too.

The expansion IS more than just Campaign, though the Devs should have been smarter about how certain NPCs appear, just as they had to change that cardian in buburimu.

Link, you're being just a tad over the top about this. It started literally 11 hours ago, not everything has been found yet. However, people are already finding VTs and those who were smart enough to get to the cities are already doing quests and missions. Cool the fuck out.

You seem to forget what ToAU was like when it first came out, let me give you a hint: It didn't have much either.

Most of the content of every expansion is released later, if you don't know that by now then I recommend you quit because you will never be satisfied. Infact I would recommend you quit even if you do know that.

Moreoever you seem to be totally clueless, there are a TON of quests lying about, I've already managed to find 3-4 of them and I've only played for about an hour in the past.

Yes, the zones are the old ones just reskinned, but they implemented a bunch of new tech in them, new mobs, and campaign ISN'T only about besieged. There's campaign Ops which is assault, and everything else.

Try PLAYING some before you whine.

[LD]

..aaaaaand the one real problem is fixed

[Shuvo]

Campaign music shits me. I wanna hear the nice new music in the old zones and this obnoxious music is running 80% of the time. ><

[Lordwafik]

I think a big hurdle is a lot of people don't understand what's going on in campaign so they get confused and give up easily.

Needs a bit of reading up but it's not so bad once you do it. Hell, I got 50 EXP simply by putting a tag up, raising someone, and turning it in :D


EXP isn't everything of course, gear sucks, yes, but there's a plethora of already amazing gear out there, it's ok so far, but I do feel like they might have rushed the expansion, I'd gladly have waited till january for it if they fleshed it out a little more, feels somewhat bare right now. ToaU had ranks of assaults apon arrival + a plethora of new zones to explore, CoP (lol) had a bit more story than this one did, this one is a little of this and a little of that. I'll play it light heartedly I suppose, but to those who didn't get the expansion on day 1, you didn't miss out on too much.

this happened to me and a few other ppl last night i was mad and sad.

So true. Trying to figure out how to get to the starter cities and doing quests with this constant campaign music makes me a sad panda.

[Blight]

there are TONS of campaign ops to do(assault)... Lots and Lots of campaign material to keep people busy... I had a lot of fun last night going around with my friends getting 9/9 maws... maybe you should look at it as adventure and exploring the new area's which are all very familiar but VERY different instead of, OMG THEY DIDN'T ADD A HNM! IT'S TO HARD WAAAAH!

I don't see this expansion being one that changes the way we play this game like ToAU did... Its more of a content filler like CoP was... I'm enjoying myself so far and thats all I can ask for... Did some campaign, got some insane expierence/notes... Did some Campaign Ops was a fun first day with the expansion and I expect much of the same today =)

Wafik have you finished mission 2? If not how can you tell if CoP had more story... as far as we know there are 3 missions and no one has completed mission 2 as of now... Everyone passing judgement before they have gotten through their first zone.
