For example in Dzemael Darkhold with 8 people party of rank 50, it doesn’t necessary mean it is just harder version of the dungeon, you will have to fight in a specific way to defeat the boss monster.
I haven’t touched it myself but this is interesting :cool:
============================================
Question were asked by people if the 4 people and 8 people specific means it has to have a party of 4 or 8 to enter these new raid dungeons or if you can have lower than the amount required to try and solo, duo, trio, etc… Foxclon checked and responded with the following:

In patch 1.18 the number of players required will be as following.
Due to the server load and looking from balance perspective it will be as above for now. Once after releasing in 1.18 and being played we will look/listen to player feedback we will release different variations of players required.
- The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak : 4 party members required
- The Dzemael Darkhold: 8 party member required
Per Yoshida producer he says “8 party required Dzemael Darkhold holds a really good reward, so please give a try.”
============================================
Damn I wanted to try solo to see how far I can make it in these dungeons to test my skills... orz I guess that's not happening /sigh /cry
Personally I think its kind of getting lame when they keep on saying server load, server problem, server issue... Really... what kind of server they running???? I thought it was best available in the market when FFXIV was first being made...

I know its nice to solo things others cant (ala RDM in XI).
But, don't forget - you have an unexplored battle system and job/class reforms comming.
SE seem to be talking post 1.18 "difficulty".
yay for more pessimism. -

Ah, the dreaded server/core programming issue strikes again.
Maybe they should hold off on ANY kind of changes until they complete the game's engine and server infrastructure. This is ridiculous. -
06-23-2011, 10:06 AMJoekingFor me this reads "Gimmick Fight", once we find out what it is we can abuse it making the encounter more or less trivial.Quote:

What happens if someone dc's in the middle of the raid? everyone fails?
And if not, what's stopping a THM from joining an 8 man party and having everyone drop. -

Considering the posts so far.
wtf is it exactly you're asking for?
well besides wolfies point... -

Well maybe it requires use of the generally underutilized Battle Regimens :D
-
06-23-2011, 11:42 AMJunkPunchI read it to be similar to the airship battle in CoP, we need fights that hard. A specific set of skills needed, and even then it's a toss up. Alchemist might have to craft items needed to win the fight and what not.Quote:

It has already been stated that if someone Dc's they dont get kicked out and can just login, rejoin the pt inside the dungeon, also said that if the dungeon ended or finished during DC the player will spawn outside. Thus the existing pt can still carry on.
If you want to solo find 3 friends willing to DC for ya haha, or rank up 3, 45 buddy keys.
