Dear SE: I wish lvling wasn't so fast :(

[Sephirah]

So, let me get this straight. You have no desire to experience any part of the 85% of the game, yet you have come here to tell SE that leveling is too fast?

You've barely "leveled" through 15% of the classes, and that 15% was too fast? Do I have it right?

If you want to level every single class, more power to you. I'm a PLD, I have no desire to play anything but a PLD.

ONCE AGAIN I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT A LACK OF CONTENT, GEEZ lol.

I'm just saying the leveling is a bit too fast.

I wonder if people know that you can choose to not Fate grind and just do dungeons.

Well, for dps, it's really not an option due to great queue length. For healers, the leveling queue is frustratingly long. See, I'd love to do dungeons more, but you can't queue for a dungeon while doing other things, unless you're fating with 2 other people only, and everyone wants to dungeon.

You can't even queue and play with your choco.

I played with plenty of terrible people at 40, 50, 60, 70 and 75. XP parties in FFXI didn't reward good players, they rewarded stubborn ones.

No, stubborn people still pulled through, but good players did much better. Chain 300 at colibri wasn't a reward for stubbornness. Good imp parties were awesome (leveling, not merits) and imps were great too because they actually had a chance to kill you. You know, something so little in XIV's grind has.

Puller screws up and pulls a link that you can't zone, no amount of stubbornness survives that pull, however skill can, and did.

Getting called {Impossible to Gauge} because my party-mates couldn't speak my language was pretty cool.

Also, I'd just like to add (rather than edit my other post),that when you level the other classes, you are actually gaining new potential abilities for your primary class and/or job. Just like how you share abilities from the primary and secondary classes of your job role, you can also use abilities attained through leveling all the other DoW classes.

And I wasn't talking about content, either. I was talking about leveling the other classes. Because you've only leveled 12% of your way through the classes, and you still have 88% of it to do, and more abilities to earn for your Paladin.

I don't understand why the likes of you want to turn this game into a grind shit? It is already boring enough when you try to level a second class and you want to make it longer? Please go play another game and stop making this game into your own selfish vision.

Why would you play a game you don't like? I enjoy the leveling process. If it's a grind to you then maybe you don't like the game.

Yes thank you, I'm aware of how cross class abilities work, lol. Stop thinking I'm attacking the game Nanga. I LOVE THIS GAME. I think there is PLENTY to do.

The ONLY thing I'm trying to say in this thread, is that I think the leveling should have been slowed down a bit so we could have enjoyed the journey 1-50 a bit more.

To anyone not reading my post fully:

I DID NOT grind fates
I PLAYED CASUALLY through the story
And it STILL took less than 1 month to reach max level.

And I wasn't talking about content, either. I was talking about leveling the other classes. Because you've only leveled 12% of your way through the classes, and you still have 88% of it to do, and more abilities to earn for your Paladin.

The only other cross class ability even worth getting is Stoneskin, which not having hasn't prevented me from getting to Turn 4, so I'm not too worried about not having it yet.

For the last time Nanga I'm not trying to attack your game lol. Like I said I like the class system. But saying "you've only lvled 12%" isn't correct. I've leveled 100% of my class. If you choose to have another class or another "character" at 100% then you are welcome to do it, but me choosing not to level something I have no interest in playing does not mean I'm choosing to not increase my characters level. Because "my character" is a PLD, and there is no amount of lvling I can do to increase THAT.

Ok, I can agree with that somewhat. But, honestly...you can either choose to artificially make that content last longer the first time by not playing as much or deliberately taking your time, WALKING everywhere (turn off run mode), or whatever fits your fancy. I think the fact that there actually is a tremendous amount of content to consume, and yet people consumed it so quickly, just speaks volumes of the quality of that content, and not a lack of quantity or longevity.

Don't you think it could use a little reworking though if it's on us as players to pace ourselves through the content to make it last 4 months rather than 2 weeks?

Unless you have 8 level 50 combat classes stop saying it takes too long to hit 50 ffs. You realize you need typically 2 level 34 sub classes to support/max out your first 50, and that chain keeps happening for every 50 you have. It isnt' too fast, learn to level more than 1 thing and think you're done and that your character can't progress any further. If it took longer, leveling each of the classes or even just the two sub classes would bore to me to tears. I don't want more FATE grinding than I have to, quests and levels aren't worth a damn and after 20 dungeons aren't either... If one 50 is your thing, cool but don't make everyone else suffer because you grinded your way to 50 in a few days, please. >_>

Once again not reading my posts, this has nothing to do with fate grinding.
