Square, Don't let the Community ruin this game

[Steeled]

We are on a weekend, and they are probably studying the situation before delivering an answer, which with most probability will come next week.

No, no, I'm sorry.

I don't mean "ohgod they didn't react to my post in a day, they don't care!", I meant that they're aware of this, as this isn't the first topic of its type. Sometimes they reply within a few hours, but that's very rare.

That said, I just hope they are reading and actually listening

Perhaps SE can encourage completionist runs by:

1. Popping chests after certain groups of trash are cleared that will fully replenish durability and have drops

2. As well as the limit break gauge, how about a Loot gauge that fills up. Similar to Diablo 3's Nephalem Valor system, the more "trash" you kill the better level of Loot gauge you have. Players would want the max level before killing the final boss.

I am fairly sure that most of the people that have little to no patients are not legacy. To pay 1.0 you had to be very very very patient when it came to fights. I don't know where these other people came from but it is becoming a similar experience to WoW. Granted not all WoW players are the ones that people loathe and hate but we are getting those kind of players that are bringing their WoW content mentality to this game. Just because it is something u Q for in duty finder does not mean it will be face roll. Now onto the X class does more DD than X class. there is no real concrete proof of what class is doing the best however since a parser exist people use it as a basis. They do no realize since it's a log parser and the way damage is put on the log that it is not doing the correct calculations. One problem being that it does not track DoT and the way it simulates the ones it doesn't track(in smn case it only simulates 1 DoT) inflates the damage of classes such as bard. Instead of making it tick through a duration it applies the full duration all at once. If you wanted to as any class you could just spam your DoT and top the charts. Bottom line is this community needs to take a chill peel ad remember this is a game.

players already ruined it, and the modern approach at making this game destroyed it for me.
yeah im legacy played from early access 2010 now this month is the end of my journey.

SE made the game everything i hate, its a wow clone i hate WoW and dont want to play WoW jr. whole purpose of this game is to grind gear and wait in queue everything else has no point.

What exactly do you expect Square to do about speed runs? I guess they could get rid of incentives to clear dungeons more quickly, but I feel like that would tick off a lot of people too.

Place mobs packs in a way where few can actually be skipped, gate parts of the dungeon by causing a mini boss to spawn once the trash is cleared. I've never been to amdapor, but if the mobs in there leash, set them to not leash.

[Koldhara]

it seems to me that most of these dungeons are incomplete for the trash mobs to not even drop anything. the whole speed running is mostly due to the need to the precious whatever everyone is after. it is actually fortunate that the few dungeons i've done, i have had no speed demons in my group, but it seems to me that in addition to making trash clearing mandatory in some way, give them some drop and tweak durability cost/rate would eliviate the issue.

i do not agree with the idea that it should be possible to skip whole clusters of mobs (or content) simply because the group is composed of people who have no patience to allocate time for an event they already want to complete.

make it impossible to speed run at all, but provide ample compensation for going through the whole process.

I'm sitting here laughing at the shouts for AK "speedrun, must be geared and experienced". AK is turning into that piece of content, unless you already have gear from it (or higher) and know how to do it, you aren't getting it done. People are too busy padding their egos and swinging their epeens at capping their weekly allowance of mythology tomes in 2-3 hours.

Mobs don't leash in any dungeon as far as I'm aware, other than a few special mobs (tonberry stalkers), people are basically sac pulling the whole zone and raising the tank at each boss, therefore skipping pretty much all the mobs defeating the point of the dungeon, turning it into a boss rush :/

Between this and FATE burning to 50 (most people then clueless on how to play their jobs), I'm honestly on edge if I want to continue playing if this is the way the community turns out.

That's why I only use DF in case I have a missing party member. Most of the party of my LS or FC. I only had to use DF once or twice for a missing person and they end up being really nice. I haven't gotten to AK but it sounds like some people need to work on being nicer to people who never done the dungeon before.

[antiviolence]

Is it really that hard to approach friends or FC members to help you in doing normal dungeon clears?

Yeh sadly everything is just to dam easy for me and my FC ><. Maybe this month is my last I don't know Im about to get my relic on my summoner and see if this makes me change my mind.
