Thread totally not about Roegadyn tails

I feel like mixing it up, lets be honest in this one.


I'd like to address the issue with the party system as we have it right now. Sitting in Ul'dah for 2 hours while waiting for one guy to gather 7 link minded people isn't exactly my idea of fun. Aside from PLing sucking the life out of available PT members and SE not emphasizing party play early on so people never learn how to do it properly. One of the largest problems I'm finding is the 8 man quota to fill.

Say what you will about low manning or 'heading out early'. It NEVER works! If you don't leave with 8 people no one wants to come. They perceive it as a broken PT and are very likely not to port with you or disband entirely. Gathering 6 people WITH level sync was a trick of itself in FFXI. Mandating the 8 man PT's is killing the leveling mood and makes for a very stressful time for the brave PT leader who devotes him/herself to shouting none stop.

Personally I'd like to see a return to traditional 6 man PT's. Shifting around spell strength and mob relations and it can work just as well as an 8 man. Except it isn't quite such a gigonic pain in the pepper hole to make.

Oh look, a Zaaku thread with a legitimate complaint rather than tails.

I agree on the fact that this game seems to be reliant on either soloing or 8-man content. They need more variety in how you can stack parties. Everything atm is 8-man. While I don't actually agree with lowering the party size, they do need to give us some content with caps of 5-6 players. Alongside some 12-20 man runs like Dynamis and Sea and whatnot. It's more about variety, which is something this game does lack at the moment.

I think they talked about adding a cross-server content finder, right? Will this be available for general xp parties or only for dungeons/primals/etc, I wonder...

Wait people actually role female Elezen?

Next you'll tell me there are female Lalafells that aren't JP!

Ha! When I first started this game 4 months ago and found out a party was EIGHT people... Two words:

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYY

Not all of us intend to use the content finder. It's not really a solution people are looking for.

Also, it's intended to use for almost everything.

Man, i'm psyched about the content-finder. I'm on a server full of "no" and I'm ready to open up to a universe of "yes". (also, I'm an english-speaker on jp time, so that doesn't help any).

I'm constantly frustrated with the 8-man party requirements. I played hell getting 6 at times in FFXI.

So that means you are "GASP" a douchebag !!

"dramatic music" TANTANTAAAAAAAN

Nah just kidding.

And about 6 people parties, more players will join in the future with the realease of 2.0 (or atleast we hope so) so we
aren´t sure of how difficult will be to complete 8 people parties in the future. This problem should be addresed when the final product is realesed cause beacuse any change we do now could harm more than help in this aspect of the game.

PS: Oh and by the way, lalafells aren´t only "OMGIMCUTE" or douchebags, we can be and we usually are major perverts with the best sights in all Eorzea, women or men, gay, bi or hetero it doesn´t matter, we rise our eyes to heaven and comtemplate the gift of the five races, some beastmen and even monster if you are into that kind of stuff.

Well i'm a dude so that means im not a DB :3

I don't have low self esteem. I actually run around saying how awesome I think I am! But I'm still not a douchebag because the majority of my days playing this game now involves me standing around in Ul'dah and helping strangers with their quests just for the fun of it. All the while I keep the group morale high and happy with smiles and cookies.

WHO WANTS KAGATO COOKIES!?

Female Elezen are indeed a rare breed, I find them much more pleasing then both miquote (whom looks like a 13 year old) and hyru (boring)

I kind of wish the limit to parties was 6.

But yeah, finding people for parties is a pain in the ass, especially since no one uses the search

They should just make it a separate and optional download so that those of us that will never use it will ever have to waste bandwidth on it.

I'm neither not a girl nor a douchebag and I'm a Miqo'te.. well I lied, partially, I am the 'not a girl' part, but only for now... some call me gender confused, but I know my real gender is female.

I use it all the time. That's how I know when not to make a Caravan group. That's how I get members after one of my party members ditches us without any warning. It's how people have invited me for things while I'm out gathering mats or crafting...

I take them seriously, kinda. . . I think everything that's been brought up (aside from awesome treads and cinnamon dusted bread) has been mentioned before in threads, so not sure what I can say. But if someone offers you cookies, wouldn't you take them too?! ┐('～`；)┌

I've never really had an issue with party play, sometimes it can suck trying to gather people but you don't have to go with a full 8, hell even if you had 4 you can pull groups off.
(Low manning totally works, I low manned a lot XD, you must just be unlucky D: )
I like 8 man groups, but I would love to see level sync too. It'd be nice to xp with friends regardless of level♪

(Better, Mr.Grumpypants?)
