The new Limsa Lominsa music is amazing.Follow

Momma said they's my magic shoes. Momma said they'd take me anywhere.

Eh, I don't find it too jarring. Grasping at straws here, but perhaps the actual track is longer and this is an abridged version? Or, in the blog post Soken said he would be releasing 3 tracks in the letter (or at least that's the way I read it)... maybe this is an amalgamation of those 3?

Ah, good! It sounded like it was at least 2~3 tracks hooked together. Thanks for the information.

It's probably the same way zone music is being made. It will change and shift as you move through the town, with certain parts dropping off, others picking up, to play a complete song as you move through the area.

Well I can't argue with you there; even years later I'll thump out the sweet beats of the jungle, heh:

♫ Doop doop, ba'doom ba'domp, dom ba'domp, doom ba'doop. ♫

The other day I randomly started humming the theme to Hall of the Gods when I zoned in. (The game was on mute.) Didn't even think about it. My husband asked what I was singing, and I turned on the volume for him. We just sat there together for about five minutes, listening to the choir.

It's good but it doesnt sound like town music?

I feel like town music should be a little more relaxed(imo)

the old version felt like too much of a production too, but not to this extent

(what other tracks are getting replaced?)

18 man exp alliances are "solo" ?

Afk is a part of any multiplayer game. It existed in XI long before abyssea, it exists in XIV. Blame it on the content, blame it on features, blame it on the combat, blame it on real life.

I am in the mindset of choosing to focus on whatever game it is I'm playing. And if I have other things to do or can't
offer my focused attention. I turn the game off by personal choice and common courtesy of other people waiting on me to get something done in game. Some people multitask and/or afk for short or long sessions.

Like it or hate it. Afk is not going anywhere if in game measures are not put in place to combat that. I say if SE has content that spans multiple hours in one session. To try & prevent afk or expect people not to afk is asinine. If you allow or encourage powerleveling, why not just offer a buyable level select class in game. At least then SE would make extra money versus rmt lol.

What you permit you promote.

It DID??? It does?

I haven't played the new level 99 FFXI was but back in my days afking was a good way to get everyone wiped!

what other games can you afk?? or have you actually not played that many

There's a difference between going afk to go feed your cat or have a smoke and going afk overnight while you gain several million exp for no other reason then you'd rather not mindlessly kill the same worm over and over and over and over....

The solution is to make the content engaging enough that people want to devote their attention to it and challenging enough that it actually requires that attention to be coordinated and focused on whatever the objective is.

{That's too bad.}

Hence I said"What you permit you promote".....
If you design xp zones with a lvl 30 requirement, no xp cap, low resource management, redundant job roles, no short boot timer(TE too easy and too extendable) and do not drastically improve older xp zones. You get afk promoted. They know this yet it is permitted.

If you have a claim system/enemy characteristics that permit burns or bots. You guess what? Per... it! Therefore you promote it.

I am just saying that if they permit something. Don't pussyfoot around. Come right out and be vocal, offer to sell a higher level character. At least then they make money and not rmt, the players who want to play the game the longer/ risk/rewarding way do not get cced by monopolisers.

I don't think they should allow bypassing content in any shape or form. Especially in an online persistent subscription based game. But I am not SE, my opinion means diddly squat, the exception being if I sub or not. Make it engaging, color it in diamonds, make the heavens align in perfect harmony. The facts remains, if there is a way, someone has a will. Leave a cash register open with no cashier or cameras on. Seventy people may leave that money be. But that seventy first guy sees the opportunity to cash in. Even if the other seventy tell on him. But the law doesn't punish theft. That seventy first guy is going to grab that cash and laugh all the way home.

What you permit you promote, what you permit you promote. WHAT YOU PERMIT YOU PROMOTE.
