Please consider some tweaks to the map system.

The map system when was first implemented, was very popular due to how it scaled in difficulty and had appropriate rewards therein. Not to mention the ability to challenge hunt style mobs without being forced to wait for a spawn.

...Well, that golden age has come and gone, and now people are soloing peiste maps for stuff and there is no new tiers above to properly challenge (and reward) light and full parties.

I would greatly like to see, in Heavensward, some tweaks to the map system, either via new tiers of maps parallel to each new ilvl tier introduced in dungeons, or some sort of difficulty + reward scale-ability based on the size and ilvl of the player or party.

Thoughts?

that's what i expect new 50-60 hunts and maps.

If you have the gear for it, then why shouldn't you solo it? People getting together for maps have pretty much died out anyway, so good luck finding people willing to tag along with their own maps.

I don't know that I'd want to solo Alpha Chimera, but yeah I could probably solo other peisteskin map mobs. I wouldn't mind a higher drop rate for minions, though. I've been doing nothing but boarskin maps for months and have yet to see the tonberry.

I gotten a Tonberry maybe once or twice. Have yet to ever see the Bluebird drop.

Orly?

You try solo'ing an Alpha Chimera, Alpha Coeurl or Alpha Basilisk.

I'm sure some could solo the Basilisk. It's so pathetically easy, even in a light party; no adds and easy to dodge AOEs.

With my Choco out in i122 NIN gear and food buffs I'd be very lucky to kill it before it kills me, and that's if I get lucky and avoid any damage crits.
