Chimera and Hydra out of duty finder is a bad idea

[paradigmfellow]

I agree. Hydra and Chimera should be DF.

Your argument is without grounds. WoW didn't have LFG Tool for all of Vanilla and BC, tell me because I can't seem to remember, how many people quit the game because of that? How poorly did WoW fail without the LFG Tool, oh wait, it didn't. Please try again.

You're argument is without base. My experience was in direct relation to FF11 which is what the other individual was talking about. I wish people would stop bringing up WoW for no reason. I couldn't care less about the game. I played it, got bored and quit. FF11 was a different story when it came to LFG. It had almost no solo content unless you geared for it with a BST or a NIN. WoW had solo content 2 different situations.

Spending needless time to make groups for Chimera and Hydra when Titan is in DF is what this thread is about, which is what my response was to. I suggest you stop trying to hijack the thread and make it into another pointless "BUT WOW DID THIS" thread.

Good lord people struggle with reading comprehension.

These kids wouldn't have lasted a week in the early days of XI. Complaining that 1 or 2 encounters are not in DF... lol. Back in my day we shouted or sat patiently for hours with our LFG flag up or we combed through player searches to find the right level and job just to gain experience(we didn't have level sync either). There was no soloing to level 50 or using a quickmatch feature to find your group for you. Now everyone wants everything handed to them right when they want it. Its sad to see the MMO scene transition from delayed gratification to instant gratification. The age of ritalin is upon us.

What a deliciously pompous and misguided post. "Durr, I wasted lots of time back in my day, THAT'S how it should be done! I have a 10 minute commute to work in a car, but I walk for an hour instead because DELAYED GRATIFICATION!" Gratification should come from the effort of a difficult act, not because you wasted hours of your life due to bad design decisions. I played FFXI too, at launch, before they made leveling super easy. The fun was being grouped with people and taking down hard monsters, not sitting in LFG for hours "just because." Now please, stop, you're embarrassing everyone that actually knows what they're talking about. You may not value your time at all because you have nothing else going on, but most people actually do.

Agree.
Coil should be on DF too.

Couldnt agree more.

Also what's so wrong with wanting to expand the pool of players that you can participate with. Yes you'll never see them again but at least the option is there. I'd much rather spend 2 hours in DF while leveling a second class then spend 2 hours in Mor Dhona shouting for groups.

And most people you passed 5 hours recruiting to make a group.... actually you will see them never more too. Totaly agreed.

I finally done Hydra, but that didnt make me feel better. That and Chimera was the worst experience i had on the game.

ANYWAY i still see people that killed Chimera with me shouting long hours on the chat looking or hydra groups.

[BlueMage]

I find it weird that Cape Westwind and HM Titan are in Duty Finder, but not Hydra and Dhorme Chimera.

[Nabian]

Lol yeah good times. And god help you if you were trying to level DRG back then. You'd be lfg for days just for xp pt.

I remember one day sitting LFG with shouts for the better part of 5 hours. Trying to make your own group didn't help much either because when you finally did put one together there were no open camp spots *Shutters at the thought of GOBLIN TRAIN TO SELBINA*

Bla bla bla

Things are better now.
