Message to solo players

It is in vain to continue, if you plan to get through black mage or other new class leves solo or duo. You will need four people group. I found this when trying as bm in Aurum Vale. My motivation is now at end. Good luck who still stand. And Group slaves, this was not for you ;)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but FFXIV is a multiplayer game.

I like more 2 people groups than 4 people groups - also in s....

i don't understand. You meant to solo aurum vale ? If yes, well...you mad

I really wish people would at least make sense when they post idiotic shit.

Yay it's Northman!

Why would a solo player want to unlock Black Mage? Jobs are for party play.

hmmmmmmmmm?


i don't get it? I solo level'd and quest maybe 3/4s of the game.

If you're talking about the Aurum Vale AF then I'm positive anyone could solo that. All that gets in your way is the 4-person minimum entry.

Just a random thought. But doesn't unlocking everything up to level 50 BLM require a party? At least the final battle should.
I mean this game is mostly catered around party play.

You can solo about 4/5 of the AF quest line

You mean... I have to actually play with PEOPLE sometimes on an online multiplayer MMORPG??????

Welcome to the world of MMOs, where the genre is defined by interaction with many other people.

You mean I have to form a party to unlock the thing that is meant for party play? /ragequit

Yes, platinum mad indeed. At least he isn't giraffes.

Yeah this was great game also to solo. I only got disappointed as I could almost reach BM status without big group. In that time I have to spend for this game. They decided to make this for people who have time to queue to groups. So sad. And bad business idea these days. Main lines sd be open for everybody and hard tasks like for bigger groups. Thanks for all I have met here and welcome to ask help or chat in newer mmo's. I'm sure u will recognize me.

In real word I have served in army and being commander. When I used a weapon, it worked. Here I must wait minutes that I can hit once

Is this game designed for 80 year old mummies?

For this content finder is coming with 2.0
And you need for all AF quests a party if you do it with the required level. Of course you can do most of the quests solo if you can simple do them with level 50. But the level 50 quest you can't overlevel and need in the end anyway a party.

Go play a singleplayer game and stop wasting your time on XIV.

indeed, MMO = multiplayer. What's your point?

My point could be: don't hate solo/couple players. They go also sometimes to groups when time. And can be very useful. Teach me where I was wrong. Or is it really so that gamers like me are not welcome. Playing solo doesn't mean that I want to be alone. I had wished much more friendly faces round the fires and camps. Start talking to people if you think you are in mmo.

You are trying to do something intended for groups (Black Mage) and complaining about how it is impossible to acquire alone. Also, your use of bizarre idioms is hilarious.

We need a Northman cameo in 2.0, would love to see a NPC from a foreign northern country talk like that.

I would pay much jinglyshine to see that happen.

Northman, I'm a casual gamer, and you're inciting my own rage and disapointment.

There is plenty, of content out there that is solo capable. There is nothing at all that prevents your Thaumaturge from reaching level 50, or any of your classes for that matter.

But please understand that 'Jobs' are a party function. You unlock them to change your class into a role specifically for the utilization of other people.

"Black Mage" and "Solo" are not two words you should be using together for anything meaningful, and that includes your Artifact armor.

Additionally, you've yet to truely explain what your animosity is against partying with others. You state issues about waiting around for a group to get together, but this matter is already in the process of being addressed with Content Finder.

The reason why you're getting such a harsh reaction is that your complains belie the lack of information you have, as well as they are unreasonable given the context of what you are talking about.

I am a soloist for much of this game and I do agree that some content must be soloable to keep players sustained to prevent burn-out on party based content.

But Jobs and AF isn't it.

So please stow away the outspoken disappointment for now. We are at the end of the 1.xx era of FFXIV and there is much on the horizon.

Party is like bring coco's ass to mouth!

Solo play is best for not to be anybody's slave and under bad command.

SE fix!




In all seriousness, I would like to see more solo/duo content as well. I suspect that the future Class AF gear quests will be more focused towards casual players - Something I'm excited about~

Stick around Northman, 2.0 is right around the corner. Don't ditch the game before you try the final version.

Dat Coco. /chuckle

OP some that replied were too naive to understand that you were not worried about getting AF done but dual boxing farming AV and now you need others.

Solution to you since you like to play by yourself: Buy 2 more accounts and 4-box AV. Damn buy already 6 more accounts and full box everything!!!

List of mistakes

1) wanting to play solo in a multiplayer game
2) wanting to solo party content
3) expecting all content to be solo content as well as party content
4) posting in these forums expecting sympathy

FIFY

/tenchar

nothing is wrong with solo contents, but sometimes you need group contents for the hardcore stuff. its a perfect balance.

yin and yang
black and white
light and dark
alpha and omega
left and right
good and bad


you get the point

Ok I made a mistake with this thread. When I reached 50 thaum, it was so natural to continue BLM leves. Didn't know it was not meant for me. No time to read the long descriptions what is to come. Leves were nice and some fights dynamite. After the 4 people fence I decided to warn if there are similar soloers that they don't waste time and make the same error. You get sympathy from me. You made good fight for your home town.

Taking on a multiplayer game as a solo player is really nothing more than Player Created Content. A self-imposed challenge outside of the intentions of the game and its developers. Not sure why there isn't more respect for soloing when its one of the toughest ways to play this game. You have to be completely self-sufficient, clever and patient. I'm rooting for you Thaum. Chin up!

Accomplishment of solo'ing stuff you shouldn't =/= whining that you can't clear party based content solo

Edit: still +1 to you since you awakened sweeet RDM memories from FFXI

You can solo everything up to the AF. All it requires is Sleep (earned at level 42) and some tactical thinking. Mega-ethers help too.

:P

And the party is needed not only for the AF piece in AV, but also to complete "Into the Dark", since I don't know too many people who can beat (most of) Dzemael Darkhold while solo...

(Or even get inside, for that matter!)

In short, make some friends. Or go stand in Uldah for five hours shouting until you can get enough people together for a party (I've certainly seen plenty of that...).

I suspect that, for the OP, "Into the Dark" is going to be the hardest part of the whole BLM chain, assuming he hasn't already completed it.

seriously quitting over aurum vale AF? just make an attempt to get 3 people and do it, it will take 15 minutes

I agree completely and reason why I bolded that one part is just try cactaur jack solo as blm ... or ask Resheph about it *whistles innocently*
