Monstrosity Feedback

[Byrth]

Release the rest of Pankration please. Thanks.



Oops, time slip.

Any info on double experience monstrosity? I want to use Monstrosity again, but I have zero interest in leveling it without double experience. With FFXIV, FFXI and RL, I don't have time to waste, so if it's not productive ingame, I just don't do it. Come on SE, please (please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please) include Monstrosity in the double experience events that you keep having.

Even with a 1000x experience event monstrosity wouldn't be productive ingame >.> because monstrosity has no rewards that tie in to your main character, which is why despite it being an extremely fun system, I, and many others have given it up altogether.

Productive as in getting goals accomplished, not productive as in building my character or whatnot. Many of my goals are pointless, like some NMs I want to kill and I don't care about the drops, but it's still a list of goals that I want to accomplish (like finishing some trial weapons, even though they could not be more useless atm.)

hopefully logic prevails and they don't want yet another time sink to be left in the dust and convert this into a useable role by allowing skills or stats learned inside this state to be useable like being turned to a new job like on ff6 gau or let stats show through as merits.

Well, you can get sparks, complete some RoEs .... yeah that's about it.
Release some new families and areas already!! And yes to the idea of double xp for it also.

I still find it extremely useful for farming sparks.
It's faster then whacking Qutrubs in Abyssea - Tahrongi for example. (when it comes to 500+ damage RoE)
You also clear the 200 normal kills, 100 monstrosity kills and various spoil and area kills at the same time.
If I stick to 'hardcore' spark farming in Monstrosity on a black mage monster I can get 50k sparks in just 2 hours or so.

Yes, I agree, I just neglected to quote Selindrile who said there are no rewards for your main character, and I was intending to point out that it can be a alternate way to complete RoEs and get sparks, which is sort of a roundabout way to get "drops" for your character (chapters, gear, whatever). Plus the novelty of it can be neat when you get tired of looking at your main or being on the same job(s) or whatever, or need something to do in downtimes. Being able to quickly teleport to RoE areas is kinda nice, so I wish they'd open up more. And more Belligerency too, so you can do the crystal RoEs and such while having different scenery and more level ranges.
I've seen it said that some people don't want to be forced to play Monstrosity to get something for your main, and I respect that, but there are those of us who want to play it and would like a little more out of it, OR perhaps others would be more interested if the rewards were better (like I guess some people already efficiently farm sparks and don't need to do it as a MON).
Being able to party together and receive drops/gil outside of Belligerency would be nice, rather than making some special drop that forces people to feel like they HAVE to do it. Once you reach 99 and have leveled all the available creatures that you want, there's nothing left to do but farm sparks or work on instincts. So maybe let us get merits or something, or enter Adoulin areas for CP...

Replying to only part of your post but yeah they could also add a cop/job points system for playing Lv. 99 monstrosity characters some how while getting more points quickly faster than you would on a normal 99 job and have the option to place/stick those points on a certain 99 job you have leveled would be yet another interesting way to earn the points to be used to increase/unlock certain job ability or stats that is done through those two systems we both have mentioned in our posts. ;-)

Oh trust me you get all your instincts waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before leveling everything. Sparks is nice though no where near as fast as fighting in SoA zones... just it's a tad easier and you don't need gearing
