EXP Parties since patch, ftl.

I wonder if leve quest are a better way now

maybe a lot of people are doing moogle, quests, achievements?

achs are pointless only few offer rewards and the rest are pointless to get cause it offers nothing in having them. You NEED healers now since thm with cure isnt as good as it used to be.

i dissagree.
without AOE abilities the general flow of battle with linked mobs is considerably slower. its also a lot more tedious without any crowd control spells.
it kinda sucks that partying is so reminiscent of FFXI stationary partying (which i couldnt f*cken STAND)
the mobs dont have to die as quickly as other MMOs, but having a decent amount of AOE damage is really fun for me.

i call them something i personaly want to do, so not pointless at all

opinions are opinions

hey the vocal minority wanted the xp to be harder to get so blame them

I deleted my post, because I agree that its probably not an extremely large XP benefite in a regular group grind, but I feel its faster none the less, AoE or not. Even with the XP bonus for completing leves. at level 35 you get 2500ish ona leve completion. At 35ish on Young raptors, with chaim bonus your around 700 (I know I was 750-775, but to be safe we will go with 700). So in the time it takes to go back and log more leves I will easly kill many many more then the 4 it takes to make up that small gap.Not to tmention, in a decent party the flo of pulling and killing, is always going to be more consistant then a leve any day and anyway.

Now on second thought after looking at the 8 leves I did today and the XP I gained, compared to the XP I gained in the few parties I was in shortly after doing a regular grind, I have to say your mistaken. The XP is certainly better in group grinds then leves, hands down.

I'm glad they took the aoe out of it. I agree it can stand some adjustments, but things feel a lot more stable now. I don't like all that chaotic nonsense on my screen. With a battle being so heavily dependent on AOES just makes it a blameless spam fest and rendered sleep useless. Now people have to watch what they are doing, who they are attacking, and being reliable. Again, I agree it could be adjusted more but I am so happy they put a stop to all the retarded aoes.

All it did was slow the game play down, waiting to attack on MRD made me laugh. FFXIV, OAP friendly.

Wrong my friend, it's still easy aoe down just not so much as a lower level. you know you don't get sleep until42 and repose until 50 as con. How helpful is that? once 42 Stronghold leveling is still grab a bunch of mobs and AOE them down
