I have two problems with Dodian, mainly that is. The end game content kind of sucks, always has (maybe always will). The bossing is kind of useless, because the same people always keeps afk-ing the bosses, so no one else can kill them.

(Potential) Boss Solution:
So this is in no way a new idea, it has been brought up before. We could have a system where you'd have to defeat guards or finish some kind of mini-quest before you proceed to kill the boss. Upon each kill, you're teleported away, either to the entrance or to home. By doing this, we'd not be able to run around and kill every boss all the time, because we simply wouldn't have the time.

This would be a pretty cool idea. I'm all for change as long as it's improving the game, and not just change for the sake of change.

I agree with this also. It prevents people potentially gate-keeping new players from better gear. This works more like a lottery system once there are more people too. 5 people attacking Dad would give people with less gear a much higher chance to get the drop.

Group stuff is always great. Duo-Slayer on XIV was the most fun I've ever had on a Dodian-style server.

So what if we introduced prestige for skills, where you'd get X bonus and/or benefit, depending on the skill? Which of course would come along with a highscore system that supports this kind of thing.

I'm in favor for a prestige system like this, but it's not gonna keep everyone around longer. It might work for some people, but some people don't care about the grind.


I'd like to see these ideas implemented, but finding someone to do it who is dedicated, willing, and has the skills for it is going to be a challenge.
