Solo capable misisons/quests

[Effilil]

this is actually a decent suggestion...I hate spending more than an hour shouting to get something done when my LS is empty or the mission I'm going to be doing is one no one wants to repeat ever again...I also feel there are some quests/missions that should have been soloable from the get-go, like AF....I always thought AF should be a personal quest to prove you know how to play the job..like Maat fight is, but lower level and with a better story attached

I'm surprised that there isn't an in-game mission search feature yet like the one on the FFXI-AH site.

It could obviously be much more advanced than that of the website by knowing exactly which part of the mission you are on and finding compatible players to team up with and get missions done much quicker.

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.

Er no, I don't think so, Magicite requires you to kill two 40-something NMs in Beadeux for some key items IIRC.
