shorten the content timers!

Grinding or having to do 40 different things every day just to level I hate.

So I approve of this!

so you approve of grinding, got it

since this would be another form of grinding

It should be 24 hours instead of 36. Anything less than that would be unfair and you would level up way too quickly. That or they would have to readjust a bunch of crap again and I like the current SP system for leves.

And the devs need to learn how to properly add the seek party and player search features so we can find others.

Just to throw in my 2 cents....but everyone here has a valid point. As a once a day(if i can) for a couple hours and then a good chunk of time on days off, i wouldnt mind it reduced a little. 4-8 hours is wayyy to low. I think 24 hours would be the limit. 36 is ok, but i love all the jobs in this game and can get bored playing one for a long time. So the shorten reset would be ok. It would allow me to do different level leves for different lvls for the jobs i enjoy. Either that or a better way to choose. It seems a little random. More with local leves then battle. The crafting leves are 1-20, but if you have a leve that is 2 levels higher it is almost impossible to complete. So you have to go lower. I love all the content in the game and cant wait for more that they have planned. But i have to say, i wouldnt mind it lowered a little. For my kind of playing....that is the hard thing to do, balance. We all enjoy this game, but we enjoy it in different ways. So, heres to Square (tip of my hat) Good luck finding the balance, with all the mixed opinions and ideas for the fourms, i have faith they will!!

If it's 24 though the leve timer will always reset at the same time. Something like 16-20hr would probably be better to accommodate all the time zones. If the ticket system is good though, there doesn't need to be any changes.

Nope =)

With that system you would get to 50 in no time, since now the leves give you so much SPs you can half-bar at R45+. Add the 4-8 hours leve update with ranking up through farming and behesting, included the dungeon and encampments/settlements, and you could be a 50 like Flash could do circles around his 1 mile-wide palace 2 times.
No good for you, not challenging and not rewarding. Total disapprovement, but I understand your concern.

Sure they could make leves reset five times as often, but expect to do five times as many leves in order to get the same SP you get now. People who want want want seem to forget little things like balancing. I can understand you wanting to do five times the work just so you have more things to do, but some of us just like to get things like leves over with. Unfortunately it's hard to cater to both types of players.

You're right, the way other games do it where you pick up 2500 quests to kill 20 of the same crabs with no one to talk to is vastly superior.

i see where you are coming from on the same time reset. i'm not saying i really disagree with you on your reasoning though. i just feel 24 hours would keep from having strange hour resets and still allow one set a day.

it seems even if it did reset every day at the same time you would still have 24 hours to complete the leves. if you couldn't get all of your leves completed in that 24 hours would be a great way to add in the ticket system. you finish 7 of your 8 leves in that 24 hour period? you get a ticket to pick up an extra leve so you could get 9 on one reset whenever you had time.

i don't think many people would too much mind what time the reset was since it'd still be 24 hours no matter the time zone and you would have peak time anywhere during that 24 hour period. i don't think it'd hurt as long as they could pick up a set amount of tickets so they could still do them when they wanted. say, for example, someone doesn't get to play much during the week and can only get 5 or 6 done, but on the weekend they have time to play and wants to get their leves done. they could complete what they could during the week and then be able to make up for them on the weekends.

i would think it'd be a good idea to have a timer on the tickets though. maybe a week or so from the day you get it.

that way if you log in, we always have content available no matter what.

> No one wants to invite your melee to a dungeon, do some leves instead of logging out.
>Want to rank up more than 1 job but no one is willing to PT? Leves got your back!

Change the behest cooldowns. Seriously, camps are by in large abandoned save the few people out doing Leves. (which are few because of long resets)

make Behest happen more frequently like every 15min. Shorten the cooldown for repeat to something like 30 min and make the cool down camp specific. If we have Rank 40 leves at 2 different camps, If we behest and Leve at one camp, we should be able to change camps and Behest and Leve at the new camp w/o penalty of timers.

I was surprised by the 5 min reentry times on the dungeons (i think we all expected a 24-48 hour cool down) The rest of the games content should follow suit!

no thanks the game is already too easy

Please leave. This is horrible and the reason no one is playing the game. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BECAUSE YOU CAN SPAM.

No thanks.

Forcing me to consider the guildleve themepark as legitimate content just made me throw up in my mouth a little. It was not a cool story :(

24h, period. Make leves refresh at JP midnight or some other designated time a day. That's all. Or increase it to 48h and let us stockpile leves. Either way would work for me, but yea not a fan of the 36h reset. Makes planning awkward. Maybe it will be more bearible with transport adjustments.

Really Vish, you want me to leave? I've been with FFXIV since Alpha 1. It's people like me who have a deep interest and desire to see FFXIV succeed, that you want to stick around. If I feel that the game needs to have more repeatable content to keep an interest in staying logged in. Then I'll speak up.

Keeping things as is, isn't going to do FFXIV any good. SE knows that. Hence the dev team change, the sweeping changes to the game. ect ect.

Of course if you were to make guildleves available with vastly reduced timers of course you'd have to reduce the rewards given from them! cut the rewards by 2/3 or 3/4. Leves are meant for casual, solo play. It allows for access content on an as needed basis.

What is there to keep people logged into the game? The awesome welcoming community that tells you to leave when you make a suggestion to alter content to make it more available?

I'm afraid that when they introduce more Grand Compnay quests that anything repeatable is going to be on a rediculously long cool down as well. Or the quests are 1 time only, then you have to pick and choose: Will getting that little SP boost be more worthwhile on my low rank Conjurer, or will it be best to use it to rank up my GLA faster?

It's a game, it's supposed to be accessable and fun.
Parties outside LS organised grinds are by in large NON EXISTANT so, too bad to those who don't have an active large LS.
repetable content is on such long cool downs that people log out prematurely because there isn't rewarding means of progression available until the next reset which could be up to 36 hours before they log in again.

What say you to this:
Leve reset every 4 hours. (rewards reduced of course) what are the chances of someone logging on, pickign up leves and completing them and stickign aroudn for the next 2-3 hours actively takign part in the games community because at the very least the next reset is just around the corner.

I want people to stay logged into the game. I don't want quick progression. I want to log in at 7am and have somethign to do when my LS is dormant. I want something to do when i log in later that after noon and my LS is running the R45 raid (which i can't join yet) I want something to do when I log in late at night just because I want to play.

With a 36 hour reset timer it's hard to just pick up the game and play. Thats what it's about. Pick up and play.

PICK UP AND PLAY!
