MP Regen - A Bit Too Much?

[Balbanes]

They still can run out of MP with chain pulling mobs in a grind group.

Which is not a bad thing, at a certain point. You should not be able to have nearly infinite MP. As I said, I'm all for some form of MP regen. It just seems that what we've got now is a bit too much.

I think you're missing the point.
Soloing will always take longer than grouping, usually a lot longer. But eliminating the option for people to solo altogether causes a lot of problems, and honestly fixes none. People will group when given the option usually, so I'm not sure why you care anyway.

The reason I bring this up is I see most people only soloing leves and waiting until their hourly behests.. idk it's just not fun seeing people just run by themselves. I loved sp before they changed the whole thing, when people actually grinded at all levels and whatnot

I agree with the OP. Initially i was impressed by this change but after trying it out for a bit, i think its obvious how fast this mp regen is. To shift from no regen to a pretty fast mp regen does feel like too much. Perhaps needs to be slowed down a bit, atm, it feels like it's killing the challenge in the game, esp for mages who will be overpowered with this. As a mage with siphon mp, etc, there is no real issue preserving mp if you dont manaburn. no need for overkill. MP should be bit of a luxury, not meant to be gained easily.

What you need is a balance. You need content for casual and hard core. There are times when you need some quick little things to do. But at the same time, you need a whole lot that you could never dream to solo as well. XIV needs more monsters dedicated to groups which hit about as hard as something solable, but have 10x the HP and give much better xp rewards. That and some leves and quests which just can't be soloed. The GL difficulties just don't really allow you to accurately set it. There's some things that can be soloed at 5Star no problem, and other things that can't be done at 1 star with a full group. I'm looking at you evil Miqo'te poachers around Camp Humblehearth...

Eh, if someone runs by you like that, maybe try and strike up a conversation with them? The real problem in the game at the moment is that we have crap for a LFG system at the moment.. People are more prone to only group with friends or LS mates because of that. (And likewise, they just don't know where else to look for people..)

A better grouping system would be a blessing, and I'm surprised what with all the requests flooding into these forums that I haven't seen it mentioned more often..

I agree with you but I think people here might liken this to when a teacher forgets its the test day and that one kid tells him "aren't we supposed to have a test" and everyone's like "you arse" lol.

I'm guessing from your signature that your haven't been playing since the game first launched? Before sp was sorta random but you had TONS of grind parties at all levels. I remember grinding on crabs and nannys all the time... it was FUN. It's just that the game isn't like that anymore since you can solo all the way to r20 by yourself and behest in 3 hours. YES I have done that on a couple new characters just to mess around. And idk if the grind parties are gone bcuz of sp now or the lack of in-game people

I have been. This is just one of 8 different characters I've made. (The most recent one I've been playing.)
