Really Casual Parties (discord and LS for lower-level instances)

[goob]

Howdy!

This is an experiment I'd like to try on Goblin to see if there's any interest. One of FFXIV's many strengths is its group content. It's great to see SE offering a variety of things for people at 80 to do, but some of us take our sweet ol' time getting there and it can be difficult to find groups that do lower-level content (1-50) without rushing through it at mach 5. Sometimes people just want to stop and smell the roses in the lower-level instances, enjoy the scenery, not feel bad about watching a cutscene, and learn from each other how to get through the dungeon without being carried through it. It's a lot more satisfying when you kill the boss even though nobody in the group has any idea what the dungeon entails.

Are you looking for lower-level dungeons, raids, trials, or even guildhests? Don't care if someone makes a mistake or if the group wipes? Want to try dungeons on classes you aren't familiar with to see what group content is like for that class? Want to take things at a slower pace and maybe stop once in a while to look at something shiny? Don't care about speed bonuses? Want to go through a dungeon just because?

If that's something you're interested in, Really Casual Parties might be for you. There a LS and discord. There will be a fellowship within a day or so. There is no FC for this, so you don't need to leave the one you're in!

-----

The discord has a text channel for each dungeon/raid/trial/guildhest from 10-50 so people can arrange for parties either soon or at a future date, and where they can also ask questions about the instance. There's also a channel for Palace of the Dead groups, and there are some voice channels of various sizes if people want to use them.

The RCP linkshell, which is on Goblin, can be used for arranging more immediate groups without having to switch to discord. Message me in-game to get a linkshell invite, or via discord to arrange an in-game time to get the invite (probably the easier option).

The fellowship will exist mostly as a way to point people in the direction of the discord and LS, but people will be able to make arrangements for groups there as well.

I will be advertising this on other servers within Crystal over time, but for now I want to take things slowly and see if there's any interest. Of course people from other servers are still free to join the discord and fellowship, and cross-server parties can always be arranged.

Also, for now I don't want to go past level 50 for the content as I want to keep things aimed at lower-level folks who might be having a hard time finding groups, or at least groups they enjoy. But I am also not ruling out adding higher-level instances in the future if there's a strong demand for it.

People at any level with any experience are welcome to join, even people who have never grouped in any game. All I ask is that you keep in mind the focus is on doing lower-level content at a slower pace, and that people will make mistakes and that's okay!

As of this post I am the only one in the discord and LS, so if you join and nobody else is there, that's why. lol This is something I've wanted to do for a few years and figured I'd finally give it a shot and see how it goes. If you're interested in this new adventure I hope to see you there for some really casual parties!
