[Dev's] Skill Chains and SP Areas

Okay folks here another Post from yours truly

Now with this game now moving away from group content away from Guildleve
Now i would love to see SP chains like in 11 where you get a boost of XP for killing mobs faster etc etc.

Also 2nd part of this is will there be Areas where Monsters spawn alot faster then other camps and are more populated with enemies . I know yall hate ppl refering to ffxi but thats only MMO i really played ,with that said camps like Valkrum dunes and nysul bird camps where area can support 3 or more parties at once

I know bird campwas limited to 3 but in Vulkrum when it was popular spot can hold over 10 parties with plenty of monsters

If forums also have anything to add Please do

well its turning into exp, so exp chains would make sense. Skill chains is the superior system to battle regiments. And if they plan on doing anything beside quests and dungeon crawls constantly, then it would be nice if they gave us exp chains and some solid camps to use....but chances are we will be using the first option.

Exp chains have been confirmed a while back, no time frame for their delivery, and I don't have the link so someone else might provide it. :)

In some of the translations it sounds like Yoshi-P is thinking that parties will fight open world monsters, which I take this to mean traditional party camp play. To do this and camps will need to be established, increased the the sp/exp will need
to be adjusted to be on par (if not slightly better) for parties to see the advantage in this style.

I really hope that dungeons offer great Exp rewards and that we can do them often enough, and that the new adjustments to guildleves will open up the world to multiple play styles.

I'm feeling better about 1.18, but note that the next three months are going to see lots of changes to the game, and while some patches might not work right, the first time, there will be adjustments coming later.

One foot after the other, as they say!
