Petition: The Praetorium

Players make a regular habit of attempting to skip the first two packs of enemies in order to reach the teleporter, which means that some players will always end up being killed because of the refusal of the majority of the players to properly dispatch them.

I therefore ask SE that the teleporters be disabled if anyone in the group is in combat, so that players have to clear the enemies on each level to advance.

uh yea thats cool I guess. kinda annoying they should just make it if you pull more than 1 group of enemies in general they one shot you so players dont skip everything

Or just close all fu##ing gates until all mobs are dead, like EVERY OTHER dungeon has it...

yea that is tru

I get it. I just started playing in May and my first run of Praetorium I died because I started fighting the first group and saw that everyone disappeared. It won't happen though. There would be massive backlash over it (not saying that it's reasonable backlash, but there would be some).

Honestly, it's not a huge deal if you die. Nobody will laugh/scream at you. I realize that it's a bit strange if it's your first time through the dungeon, but a VAST majority of the people running the dungeon are doing it for the MSQ Roulette, it's silly to superficially slow them down for the handful of people actually running it.

I think that they're more likely to make it a solo instance than to change how it plays right now.

We kill the group on our DC and it takes about ten seconds. It's hardly a roadblock to require you to do it.

No thanks.

you know you can do that duty again after you complete your first attempt ? o.o i mean that way we dont need any unskippable cutscenes , since these two can be managed via some early trust system

Why do we need to properly dispatch the enemies? The only thing that happens is you can't use Peleton becuase they are technically still aggroed to you. Trash is trash, I'd love to be able to skip certain mobs in other dungeons.

If you like killing trash, pray for castrum then. It has no gates but you'll end up killing the trash one way or another.

Agreed. Praetorium was not meant for the mercenaries. It was meant for players as part of their story. As such it should accommodate for the players doing the story and not to the mercenaries, including myself. Having the portal be closed when someone in the party is in combat with discourage the bad behavior.

No. Waste of time. Next time they change Prae, it should be to make it a solo instance. Anything less is a waste of time, because there will always be issues with this dungeon.

This is a complete non-issue. You don't have to "properly dispatch" the enemies and this has been going on since Heavensward. The EXP you get from them isn't going to amount to much at all, don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

or you know simply just make a macro with a PSA to avoid the mobs when needed.

its like no one talks anymore in the game lol

You guys got your unskippable cutscenes, No thanks. Make a PF if you want to kill every single mob that grants garbo exp and gil. Sorry, but not really

Tell that to the person who is interrupted during the teleport due to that quaint Magitech Armor firing its guns just before you die.

I wouldn't cry if they actually made this happen, but I'd prefer it not to happen. That, or if they did, make the exp rewards for killing things scale with the player's unsynced level so that it became worth the time (Do this with Castrum while we're at it/anyway please.. While I always hope for Prae, because it's the one with decent exp per unit time spent, being forced to increase said time spent without increasing said reward would kind of suck.

I mean, sure, it would be an extra 10 seconds here, 15 seconds there. However, it would also start to feel more like Castrum, which I despise as much for the constant stop and go with the unnecessary tiny searchlight/ceruleum pump type cutscenes and mandatory mobs as I do the lack of exp. More effort, a little less time, and way less exp. Making Prae more time on top of it already being a roughly 45 min experience without upping the rewards would definitely make it less bearable.

The only reason i pop into main scenario is for the exp boost at the end. Many people I know flat out refuse to do MSQ because the cutscenes crap. So like you, if the rewards were worth it, then sure. As it stands though, no way. The only reason you have people queue into that mess to begin with is the rewards at the end. If they didnt do that, nobody would be able to clear 2.0 story without a FC or PF. I still cringe when it isnt Prae bc i think Castrum gives you less exp
