VanaFest 2010 Confirmed! (01/15/2010)

[Gergall]

I actually dread a full expansion. 3 more years of trying to keep up with time-released missions with an ever-dwindling player base? I'm at a point where I can just barely scrounge up 6 people for WotG missions. And I consider myself one of the lucky ones.

Same here. I just can't see myself playing long enough to see through to the end of another full expansion.

I'd rather they stop rushing blindly forward with new garbage and spend a few patches adjusting existing content.

[Khajit]

I cant see myself even BUYING another expansion with the horrible way they've handled wotg and the minis except for the next time a steam deal comes out for 12 bucks and i get the new one + those mini's i didnt get before.

A trailer for a new expansion would snag you all faster then a bear trap.

See what it did for 14?

Well people were already looking forward to what Project Rapture is for about 4 years so yeah it being FFXIV helped.

I openly admit that I would buy a new expansion, despite what I said a few posts above. The price tag itself is fairly insignificant*, and I would like to have any new content available.

I'm in. I just dread trying to get those missions done.


*I got the minis, but I couldn't bring myself to spend 100 on a tidal tele.

[Sho]

Lets get hype then...


and 25 days left till...

- 50/50 chance of seeing avatars

I lol'd.

[Spira]

the VU isn't actually when the Vanafest hits tho is it..?
its probably right after... or maybe within a month off from it?

[Trigun]

At the last Vanafest they did a VU(version update) about same/week after the festival, then came to America and repeated everything in English.

[GeneJackit]

Personally, I would like to see them announce new jobs....trust me, I know there are plenty of redundencies (sp?) but at least it would be exciting. /sigh...i guess I just want a reason to want to play XI again lol

[Trigun]

One of the redundancies I've been pondering is Necromancer. They could do like a Soultrapper/Limbo Machine (Fatal Frame cam action / Ghosbuster containment unit) to get portraits and depending on mixture the spirit could be good/evil doing healing magic/all out raging demon stuff.

EDIT: I know there have been threads and threads of job speculations and hypothesis but its still fun to imagine.
Also Geomancer to even the number of jobs out.

[Spira]

or they could just incorporate that into a revamped Beastmaster job somehow..
i think that would be better.

new jobs are always shiny / anticipated.. but bad considering a lot of existing jobs really could use some help with being played or balanced.

[Xno Kappa]

Seriously, fix some of the jobs out right now before adding anymore.

[Forte]

Everyone who mentions Necromancer is retarded. SE already said like 5 times they won't ever do one. Undead mobs only come out at night they said, so it isn't viable.

Their words, not mine.

[Corrderio]

This, a thousand times this. This is why I hope SE revamps SMNs Rage BPs to make them a bit more effective in a PT damage wise until 70 before they add avatars.

Wouldn't mind seeing a few new tweeks to some jobs as well, though odds are they won't be any of my mains.

Except for when the undead swarm attack in beseiged. At least after they patched them so they wouldnt depop on the way there.

[GeneJackit]

I most certainly agree that all (most) of the old jobs need work and/or revamping, but I guess I am hoping that SE could walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. I think if they want to make a big splash, new jobs...new expansion (with NEW zones this time) would be huge. Would it be misguided with all of the problems they still have with finishing up WotG and correcting jobs? Absolutely, but if they want to make an impact that is really the only way to go


EDIT: Dont want to turn this into a new job speculation thread either, but necromancer sounds like it would never happen for reasons stated, but geez...if you were to have a class that controled the undead you really dont need to have them only out at night.

[Draylo]

I think the cutscenes from the WOTG expansion are amazing and the best yet. The only flaw it has is that its really slow in updating new missions. A new expansion would be awesome and give people a lot more things to do. Look at how TOAU had assaults and salvage and look how many people STILL do those things. Sea and sky? People still do them regularly, wotg has campaign people do that a lot also. If new expansion were to be released and a new thing to do was out, don't tell me you wouldn't have fun doing it. A new expansion is definitely what this game needs right now with all the negative energy going around.

[Kaylia]

I hope they promise us more summons, but never implement them. Summoner's tears are the best.

[Karbuncle]

Summoner's tears taste like Bandwagon laughing at SMNs for no new avatars.

Best indeed!
