Sortie and Odyssey progress blocked.

[Nelius]

Hello!

It is time for Sortie and Odyssey to allow alliances to participate!
We need more alliance content in the game and having to leave friends behind, having to search for years to get just little progress in the game... that needs to be reviewed.

It is unfair we have to leave people out and lock them away from getting progress in Sortie and Odyssey.
It is even worst to be the one left behind.
If the game has content and it is unaccessible, that is unacceptable!!!

I have had an extremely hard time to set up static party to do Odyssey and Sortie, it literally took years to manage to get one, also took over a year to get the party strong enough to clear 8 boss runs and get ready for Aminon. We still are unable to clear most of the odyssey v25. But... after all these efforts, investing over 500M on my equipments and giving over 150M to my party memebers to help them gear up, today; no more static!

Years of searching, of gearing up and working up to Aminon... all gone!!!

Many people wanted to join us but we were full so we cannot take them. Trying to join a static is hard because most people are full. This is just progress blocking, making people just unsubscribe because they cannot progress in the game.

Square Enix, please fix this issue fast so we can team up and get progress in this content.
Also, it is extremely unfair to have worked on our favorite jobs for 20 years, only to see some people just get on that job because they have their 6th Stage 5 prime and they best you with that alone!!!
Where is the logic in that if we cannot do the content?

Again, please Square Enix, fix it fast, I will not be around much longer otherwise.
I have been playing since NA release and now it is time to turn off , I will not pay per month to stand in town all day hoping to find a group to play with, for months.
That is not paying to play a video game, that is playing per month to hope playing. And that just feels horrible.

Odyssey Gaol I can't see as possible due to the specific gimmick of the content.
But Sheol A/B/C alliance should be allowed.
Sortie should never have been limited to a single party.

The game isn't as much fun when I'm limited to playing with only 5 friends. I'd love to sit and chat while running content with up to 17 friends, and if someone doesn't show up, no big deal, we'll still clear it.

I do agree with this to an extent, for sortie. Wilst i am in a very succesful 9 boss static, being an ls leader it does pain me to say to those that get 10-30k, that i wish i could help them. But i can't, even if i used a plate, thats one day out of many weeks that i possibly could. Yes it took time for our group to form and it took a little time to get in the groove, but we had the gear and the experience already. Sortie just seems a little too much for the average player who just wants to get emp+3. Having alliances being able to go in there could help those groups out. Making it similar to omen where boses scale to the amount of players inside. Yes were happy for challenging content for 6 man stuff, and i don't want to see that go away as far as the challenge goes. But it needs to be given a more incentive for the average player to go. Incursion had an ok system where you could up the level of content. Same bosses, but lower difficulty could help the average player. Fewer galli, but enough that an average 6 man could go in, get their emp +3 in a more shorter time and also good chances for stones/sapphires, and the more challenging lvl you go, the greater the galli total. As i sadly see some people either in groups our relying on shouts, taking on average 1-3 months for just an emp+3 set. Now when you consider being able to farm everyday in limbus as an average player to get your AF/Relic sets in an open player self ilvl based content. Sortie does seem a little excessive these days, considering AF/Relic+4 is supposed to be on par with emp +3. Personally I enjoy sortie as i do it. But as i say, i do feel for those that cant get groups because they either dont have the gear or the job meta for preffered setups

Alliance Odyssey would be so overpowered , and allow people to burn through floors and grind massive amounts of XP / Capacity points. Not to mention Chests you could probably at least get 2 or 3 chests with a full alliance, without the potential mimic that Theives get using keys. So not sure SE will be all that keen.

If you can do it with an alliance you can just make 3 parties and go in seperately.

Generally SE has been focusing on making content more accessible for smaller groups. Just not that many people can field full alliances to content.

And it has always been my feeling that we shouldn't just uncap participation limits with no changes. If you want to do content as an alliance, it should be DESIGNED for an alliance, not for a handful of people to do while 10 other people leech it. If you want existing content turned to alliance content, then the difficulty should be raised so it actually needs an alliance.

This- not to mention the gil you get for doing odyssey- with no changes you'd be able to farm out stupid amounts of gil.
