Your feelings on patch 1.16

[Elkwood]

I agree there are no good options to solo sp after this patch. It's just too unbearably slow after r40. I would be fine with the doblyn HP nerf if they had implemented a better party search feature beforehand, but they didn't and now I find myself just not wanting to do anything but log in for leves, which is way too repetitive and boring. SE really needs to start giving us more options for leveling up our classes. I would love to be grinding SP in 3 or 4 man parties but it's quite difficult to get them going right now, maybe bringing back sp chains would be a start to getting people to start partying again.

Then your just not trying plus SE does give you options to level, lets see theres Solo, Theres Behest, and theres parites, put a little effort into it this is a MMO not a WOW game of soloing. Theres also other things you can do solo like idk craft mine or fish, theres lots to do you just need to know where to look otherwise go back to WOW or go play RIFT cause I hope to god se does not make this game easier to cater to people like they have been doing.

Unbearably slow? Pfff....Hogwash. Just takes some thought, considering there are still weak enemies if you know where to look.

So great enlighten us what to solo on with "speed and efficiency" at rank 45+. Oh wait you don't have any idea because your trolling.

Just a couple points of disagreement on Hamster's nicely-formatted list.

"An icon has been added to hostile enemies to distinguish them from non-hostile enemies." (2/10):[/B]
Unnecessary. Being able to distinguish aggro and non-aggro mobs was a good element of strategy and skill.

I disagree. It was an element of experience and memory, neither "strategy" nor "skill" enter the equation. I do feel that the indicator should only appear when the mob is targeted. I know I've been saved at least one painful death already because I wasn't paying attention and never would have known the much-larger-than-me Peiste was there, much less hostile, had I not been alerted by the HUGE CAN'T MISS IT indicator. I deserved to take a few hits for my inattention.

MP Regen (6/10):
Not sure how I feel about this yet. On one hand, it's handy to have. On the other hand, it renders moot all the effort I put into ranking up Thaumaturge to get Siphon MP II.

I understand the frustration of having put in what now turns out to be unnecessary effort, but I think the overall good of the game should trump that. But trust me, as someone who paid 1,000 gold on several characters on WoW for an ability that is now available for 10 gold... I feel your pain.

Way to not read.

Behest and parties are not SOLO. Stick to the subject, what is there to SOLO as a DoW/M?

You are at level 45...Five levels from the cap. No, really, do you think it's going to be a breeze? Oh, And I never said anything about "Speed and efficency" soloing. :P It's just not "Unbearably slow" So stop feeding words in to my mouth.

No Cut-Scenes to quests = heavy disappointment
Dont care if it dosent give SP/XP/loot
1-2 min aint hard to do in my opinion since they already have the CS engine.

Just because you can't 2 hit a mob doesn't mean you still can't solo. Do you want SE to spoon feed you SP? So you can still solo the same mobs just takes a little bit longer. The Colby's are still super easy just takes maybe 30 seconds to kill instead of 5 seconds.

So.... let me get this straight.
You guys wanted other stuff to do minus levequests and behest and leveling. SE gives you side quests which never said they were adding sp to them, and did say they put them in for lore purposes as a bit of a filler i guess you can say while they revamp the battle system.

And all you guys are are sp rewarded quest?

You guys fail to understand the purpose of quests.

Quests in ffxiv will never give sp. this is not your 1 class characrer mmo. Also here is a why quest mobs don't give sp, fatigue. Remember fatigue increases when you get sp. If you could get sp, you would just fatigue faster and everyone will be complaing about that.

Why can't these be good enough for you guys? I think SE should really look at the player base and think about it for a second. One reason the game isn't doing so well, is everyone has too high expectation from the rose colored glasses. And everyone here is on silly pills when it comes to how games are made. Not every quest in ffxi had cs.

it takes a long time to render them. Its not that easy to make cs for quests. Plus these were never gonna have cs. They are just lore snips. I would think SE saving the bigger quests till after the revamp. Again not every quest in ffxi had cs in reality very few did. Only a handful of quests.

But inreality no one really did quests in ffxi other then that fast 3 yag necks, cornettes, moss. I can tell you this barely anyone I knew completed the SOB questline. Which only has CS because it was a side story that was linked to windys missions.

Please stop suggesting that everyone who disagrees with you is on drugs. This is at least the third time you've done it, and it's rather insulting.
