tons of people agro an dying from mobs on way to camps if not now what they doing as well, granted you die in other mmo's from this but it's mostly cause you don't want to kill the mobs on the way to your dinky little quest. lol and then theres mpk back when they had mpk, can't say that wasn't challenging or an example of how many people screwing up.
also you laugh at signet but that is all i really see in the marks we get from companies, does the same thing, exept its not kill 2 birds with one stone, it's grind, and it's do quests seperatly = points. we also already have scrolls for craft and gather, next step would be the exp ring type for leveling. that is if they acually listen to player base, least half of it that want a real journey threw the game and grinding to be much longer then it is. pl will kill this game. -
11-30-2011, 06:56 AMweeblewithout that time then why play or pay for a mmo? time is what a mmo was and should always be about, you pay by month to enjoy it, if it shortens in time spent ...it only satisfies you as a person without that much time, but in general you understand then that your paying for your items. no matter how hard the content can be, if it takes you a week, you payed that month for that piece of gear. it's a simple way for a mmo company to sell cash shop without it really being there.Quote:

And as to the grind, people keep forgetting that you need to level multiple classes to be effective at end game. The "journey" isn't in leveling just one class and being done with it. It's a matter of leveling multiple classes potentially all the way to cap, which eventually will be well beyond 50.
Imagine if in XI you had to level three or more classes to 75 just to participate in Dynamis. It'd have harbored on insanity with how slow exp was back in the day.

But no matter how long anything took, that didn't make it a challenge. Remembering to run up to the guard and requesting them to bestow you with signet isn't a challenge.
Standing in one spot while the designated puller bring enemies back to you one at a time is not a challenge.
Even being said puller isn't a challenge.
The most skill XI ever took was an attention span. Outside of that you watched the game till it was time to press an appropriate macro. I'm sorry, but XI was a grind for the sake of being a grind. It's only silver lining is that it's story lines were so well written.

3. Its no Problem for Players to buy Gold with Real-Money, since China monopolized the Game. ( Yes, there are Players which play's Game for Reasons like that ).
That way it's right in the player's face that they could make twice as much gil for half a month's sub fee as they'd be able to make in a single month on their own.

I have played plenty. It doesn't matter if WoW came up with these or not really, I am saying that having options for any type of player is what made WoW so successful. Its what FFXIV is headed toward weather you like it or not, so now is your chance to leave. MMOs are evolving, they are no longer focused on enormous grinds. Listen to what Yoshi-P has to say and you will realize your dream of FFXI-2 isn't happening. You are in denial.
On the topic of PLing, it is optional. You chose to do it or not to do it. If people wish to skip content, that is their business, not yours. You aren't paying their monthly fee so stop dictating how others play their game. If anyone says they have no option but to PL on their server, they are basically saying that the majority prefer PLing and they are in the minority.
Pull your head out of your butt please.
And really, lol again at SIGNET it was SO HARD!!
Also, you said experience party formation was a job and a job is challenging. I have a job, outside of this game (note: game). I want to play a game, not a second job, thanks. -

also if you think wow is so great ..blizzards diablo 3 is adding a player based real money trade auction house to there game, how much you want to bet that if it does well you'll see something like it in there next mmo as well? and really the only way to make them real money on that type of thing is to add grinds and items with low drop rates so that they sell to players in there auctions rather then to the rmt.so all this casual no grind stuff might take a big turn the other way cause no matter how easy they make the games there is still that player base that it's still not easy enough for and keep buying it up. just like people buying into monthly bills with easy mode instead of cash shops. (same thing)

Same with Skill.. no Skill for FFXI? That is why most RDM's failed Period, no need to speak of Stunning Cerb's TP Moves. Or low manning Niddy, Khim etc. I dont even need to compare pre-Abyssea HNM Fights to WoW, since FFXI is on a way higher level period. In WoW it was always Gear > Skill while it was in FFXI Skill > Gear. Of course you were in need of Gear, but you get the Idea ( maybe? ).
WoW compared to FFXI will always pull out ridicilious Discussions. It was always like that and will be always like that, so i will stay low on the ongoing discussion but my opinion stays.

In a stun order? Wait till someone else's macro tells you "/p Just used stun <p2>, you're up!"
Then "Mob uses x skill" *Press macro*. Rocket science, I know.
XI was always Gear > focus > "skill". The sad thing about XI was that there was one or two items per slot for each role and that was what you spent the entirety of the game trying to get. The vast majority of gear in XI was crap, which is why a DD was damn near expected to have an SH ready and waiting for when they dinged 57 despite it costing millions of Gil for most of the game's life span.

But the same could be said for XI when it was released. It took 235,550 exp to go from 1-50. In XI's early days, 5,000 per hour was considered a rocking party. So to go from 1-50, the first cap an otherwise empty game, would take a dedicated player all of 48-50 hours.
Sound familiar?
The fact is, WoW has had about 11-12 million players. XI peaked at about 500,000. Success is success. These are facts.
SE intended for XIV to compete with WoW, and with how much money they have sunk into it, they have no choice but to follow through on that vision.
The mechanics of XI, those archaic and obvious time sinks where you literally just stood still, just won't pay the bills anymore. SE wants to make an MMO with mass appeal. Get used to it. No one finds those old MMO "standards" fun. All game genres evolve.
It's like saying Call of Duty needs to be more like Doom. I know change is scary, but it's okay, we'll hug it out and survive together. -
11-30-2011, 10:04 AMJynxI think your mistaking the 24hours in a day with how long people actually take to hit 50 in a PL party. when people take a "Day" to hit level cap in XIV that doesn't mean 24 hours.Quote:

From the start, the level cap was set to 50, but this was not told to the players. On this day, the cap was first discovered when the first players across all worlds attained level 50.
I started playing in April 2004. 2-3k an hour was the norm. 5k was a good party. At that point it was the same exp curve as release. -

But my point in mentioning how short the grind to the first cap in XI was to illustrate that, similar to XI, it wouldn't have taken that long for a dedicated group. A player could have capped in XI then in under a week if they really wanted to.
But to gain the kind of "absurd" exp that people report takes already having a class at 50 capable of AoEing. At that point a player should know how to play any role in the game. -
11-30-2011, 10:55 AMdarkstarpoet1in xi people had to really try hard to get to 50 in a month. in xiv they can go afk for about 8 hours and get there. you are comparing things that are complete opposites.Quote:

Besides, it now takes longer to get to level cap in WoW than it does in FFXIV. What a joke. Never thought I'd see the day. -
11-30-2011, 11:59 AMCrystalWeaponIf you were trying hard and it took you a month to get to 50, then you were doing something wrong. My record while trying hard was 2 and a half weeks to get from lv 1~75. This was pre-abyssea and pre-level sync smn burning. I was bored out of my fucking mind and hid the fact that I had a rdm from every endgame event ls I went to after that.Quote:

Whatever the case - experience points in general need to be reduced, or the amount needed to level up needs to be increased. It's not just PLing that's the problem. A balanced party can get 150k per hour as well without a PL. In the early days we were lucky to be getting between 15k and 20k per hour.

They also needs to add crap to do. In XI you had to walk to jeuno at 18-20, your chocobo quest at 20, RSE at 20ish-30ish and you were pretty home bound to jeuno while leveling in quifm. Then at 30 you had kazham and you were stuck in that island for a while...
In XIV its basically port to whatever, kill stuff, return to town. Until you are 50. You are pretty useless if you aren't 50.
