Thoughts/Opinions/Ideas/Suggestions?

Is this possible?

Who would need to be unthroned from the #1?

I added in the last part because I believe there is much to be gained from comparing yourself to the direct competition, especially when your essentially fighting for percentages of the pie. There is so much to be gained from self evaluationnin this process. There is always room for improvement and companies should always look forward. I believe this game should have no problem being the top console mmo. In its supposed state? Maybe not so much, That being said, for Xbox fantasy MMOS, I think its probably unanimously ESO whos got the biggest share. If one was to judge from just pure marketing. Theres no competition, you can find ESO advertisements in cities all over the world. Ive played a couple mmos on Xbox, Neverwinter quite a bit, and Tera for not long to be honest. Now I would never suggest ripping ideas right out from competitors. Rather look at what they're offering, your not, and how you can creatively make something to fill that space and maybe more.I dont wanna hit you all with pages of text. Id rather hear from the community first then respond. Looking forward to your thoughts.

...

From my experience gathering various oppinions, this seems to be the consensus. They need to listen,respond and actually cater to populace's needs. Games as service live and die by this. Games who implement the communities wants,live. Those that play things all internally are just a few updates from being obsolete. As many devs have said, once they release the game, its no longer their game anymore, but the fans that play. 

"My opinion" shows the damage we caused.

Easy answer

Launch

 beat me to it! I was going to say 'An Official Release'. 

Daily log in rewards, doesnt have to be major, just some incentive to make people log in, and play. Launch the game, i got friends saying they're no longer interested in bdo because they've moved on to other games.

Daily rewards are a thing on PC. I imagine we are getting those at launch. Your friends will be back once the game launches. Whatever games they moved onto, they came move away from just as easy.

It just needs to release.

Less p2w cash shop would be a nice start.

Discount 50% off pearls first 2 weeks to compensate for the "Early 2018 release" statement.

It needs to come out and be available on all stores, more publicity the better.

Yuh this. But I am not holding my breath for my region anymore

I would say of course tone down the pay to win aspect, but the most basic thing they need to do is be the 1st console cross platform mmo this gen and that's a easy win.

Cross platform would kill the game. PC players are already in the 60's and  in full trI+ boss gear. They would one shot Xbox users for the next 2 years and then still have the advantage of keyboard/mouse

I could not agree more dude, if it was PS/Xbox cross play i would not mind at all but idk how clans, guilds, etc would work....and i'd be afraid of the server stability seeing as they'd only have US, EU, and Asia servers....we'd get flooded by surrounding regions lol

Game needs endgame content.  Node Wars/Sieges are fun but set to once a day at night.  For anyone busy at night they are out of luck.  Red Battlefield gets old quick.  Guild Wars are fun but also limited to what guild you are in.  Lifeskills are just filler content in my opinion.  Mostly done afk.

I'd like to see some alternatives to Red Battlefield.  Maybe Mini Node Wars style battlegrounds,  Different battleground games styles.  Capture and Defend,  Team Elimination, ect.  I know people will say it takes players out of the game world.....but most endgame folks are off doing their own thing anyways.

This game is being designed for console players so the experience is ultimately 'fresh'. Considering what we are getting at launch is merely a tiny portion of the current pc version players such as myself have loads to look forward to. 

As to how or when endgame content will be a relative topic of discussion is uncertain but currently the focus is establishing the game we are receiving at launch and then progressing the content towards the pc version.

Maybe I wasn't clear I mean cross play between consoles, I don't care for PC and console cross play seems like a waste of time to me.

Different controller mapping, different platforms (store).

Its a logistics nightmare.

Press X to doubt.

While not having cross platform as a whole needs to become a thing of the passed. Phil spencer realizes this. But, there is times when it's just not feasible. So you don't want pc and xbox compatible. Sure I get that, say what you will, the threat of a competitive edge between KnM and gamepad players is always a looming prospect. That's not our main concern. Getting roflstomped by super geared players while every one is spending a year or two running around in totally irrelevant gear to what they have access to. 

So back to your actual point. PS4 and Xbox compatibilty. Well you can apply my last point about the gear score from pc. Assuming they get the same launch pattern as us. (which I think is smart) We will have the edge in gear for the foreseeable future. It wouldn't be very feasible unless we both had the same launch days.

I think bigbthing is going to.be pearl st

I was in ff14 where pcers lorded it over console players, i cant see cross play between ps4 and xbox. I see how it is on youtube, don't want my chat box filled with who's consoe is better nonsense. Not to mention the 1x is more powerful, so it would be unfair to ps4 players. I want a happy , fun community not come into game to see bickering.
