Solo capable misisons/quests

[Nepharite]

So a small group of people have problems? Most of the people complaining don't even put any effort into getting this stuff done. I've helped countless people randomly shouting for help with missions, 80% of them don't even look up any info on what to do or buy any meds/items that help.

THF actually did well on most CoP missions. Saying you don't have "x" job and only "y" job is an excuse that shouldn't be used.

This is a social game, make a friend or 2. It will make the game more enjoyable.

Oh another shocker, thf25 can solo mission2-3 as well.

Dude, why do you have to be such a negative nancy? People have trouble, thus the reason this thread the likely reason many many more like it have been made over the years. Telling people to go make friends doesn't solve the problem.

If you don't have anything to contribute you should stop posting. The OP was asking for help from SE, not your opinion on why you think its not needed. Not everyone can do everything, shocker I know, but its true. Some of us struggle with missions despite having LS's and friends that will help, despite shouting for hours, despite joining dozens pick up parties.

If a player has to spend three plus months shouting for help with a mission that can be solo'd by one job surely this implies there is an issue that goes beyond one player not being up to the task of soloing it or having enough friends.

Why do we as customers have to spend years not being able to enjoy the included content of a game because of poor luck and a game design principle that punishes people for not being social butterflies?




Sometimes the circumstances of things just get in the way no matter how much effort and time you put into it and it shouldn't be that way.

I'm contributing my opinion on the matter. Your opinion is that things are too hard and should be made easier, I'm offering a contrasting opinion by saying things are fine as they are. Just because my opinion is a direct opposite of yours doesn't give you the right to tell me to butt out.

I'm just saying that people shouldn't expect to be spoon fed, a lot of people actually have fun with the challenge these missions/quest provide.

Also you get rewards at the end of these missions to show your accomplishments, whats the point of having such rewards if you can cake walk your way through it?

If you fail at a mission, look at what you did wrong and what you can do to overcome your errors. Its about becoming an overall better player. People that want to stay a bottom tier player shouldn't have to worry about getting better gear.

I understand that some of you are just interested in the story, but I feel it takes away from the story and accomplishment if it has no difficulty at all.

Didn't they uncap these missions? This game is very group oriented, and always will be. I can't really vote for the "easy" button on this. So unfortunately you'll have to rely on others to get things done till you can solo them yourself. SE gave you the option to have one character and level all jobs to the highest levels with being able to play all their jobs to the best of SE's power to help in terms of storage space. So if you can't get the mission done with one job, and still want to do it the lone wolf way, use another job and try that.

Saying to get friends to help is sometimes not the easiest thing to do, nor is the simplest answer. But SE did make this game to be very group oriented, and we are a strong community because of that. You're are not going to get any far in this game if it's all about "me, me, me."

And just to throw another option out there, and I hate this option. Hire a mercenary, a player who can solo the mission for a fee.

As a rank 10 in all three nations, I duo'd all Windy and Sandy missions except for 5-1 and either 9-1 or 9-2 for both and that took a trio at level 80 cap. It can be done. Magicite runs at low levels is just a test of sneak/invis which I solo'd at level 35, if I remember rightly.

took me 5 yrs to finish CoP,now im stuck on mission 38 in WoTG. people dont want to be bother, i myself love CS and story line ,wish i can finish this Addon, but, alas , prolly never get ti done and windy quest's as well.keep lossing my medal too much .lol

I've been stuck on CoP 4-3 (i think) forever. Now that they made a lot of missions soloable and uncapped i was able to do most of that mission by farming the keys i need but still need help opening the doors. Anyway they should put in an option like in FFXIV to select solo mission or party with number of players or make it auto detect the number of party members.

I too love the story lines and cs this game has to offer but only being able to see a small portion of each expansion storyline really kills the gameplay for me. I do love the party aspect of this game and the community theme but like it's been said in this topic prior, people just don't want to take the time to do the missions to help out anymore. I'm not asking SE to push the easy button and not make things challenging but make the storyline more accessable to everyone. The entire FF franchise has based their gameplay on story along with killer graphics and for this game to lack in accessing storyline content does suck for me.

Well I just looked at obtaining the map to Sacrarium, and I haven't obtained it. It's not high on my priority list, but I need the keys to get it. If you're on Sylph, give me a holler. I could probably offer you some assistance, and I might be able to convince another one of my friends to join too for the same reason I need to go. If you're not on Sylph, maybe there is more like me who want the map, or is farming for the Swift Belt, and are willing to help out for a little bit.

I would love for the difficulty of certain missions to be adjusted according to the number of people involved. This goes directly against what, i'm sure, the developers wanted with ffxi: teaming up to overcome difficult battles. So i don't think it will ever happen... but that sure is a lovely thought
