Players interested in Solo Play.

[KenzieLynch]

I'm not opposed to having solo DF an as option, although as someone who plays a good amount of the game solo I wouldn't be that interested in this. Dungeons and trials are the parts of the game where I actually like to come together with other people. There is already plenty to do solo in this game for me.

I'd like the dungeons to have a solo option as well. I'd like to play through the story without worrying about other people crying about me watching the cut scenes as they play out. I think this would also help as the game progresses and any new players who start wouldn't have to worry about being held back by stupid party requirements. I don't think this option would take away from the multiplayer aspect at all, as there is a lot of other post story content that requires grouping. And it wouldn't change the game for players who had a good group to play through the dungeon with already.

This gets my entire support! Aside from character customisation, this has got to be the next best thing I'm interested in! CHOCOBOS IN DUNGEONS! Absolutely brilliant idea. 11/10

I don't think the boomerang is dropped by Bune. When i used to solo Bune it only dropped Wyvern stuff and the enhancing sword, unless drops changed in the past 4 years. I forget the name of the Wyvern that drops the boomerang though.

I agree we could use some solo content as well, i'm pleased they added dailies to earn Philo and Myth without a group(even if they're in small amounts). But DCUO has something like this. They just call them "Challenges". Which is normally a story dungeon but made challenging for max leveled characters. They give rare gear as well, which is really only good for vanity styles, and the reward is marks to buy top end gear. Oh and they reset daily.

Krenian having more soloable instances wouldn't affect you and others like you who want party playing from doing just that.

For the record, I am not against having dungeons be optional for solo.

That said, the sentence I quoted (which was used almost verbatim by other posters in this section) is entirely false. It will affect the community as a whole if these types of instances are put into the game. Unless you are trying to tell me that you never do instances because they can't be soloed?

Since there is no way to solo these instances right now, every one of you is forced to party up to do them. Whether you have a static, a PF or you DF, something is being affected by that when you decide you want to try it out by yourself. Don't be naive and say "I'm just one person and that won't affect the population". There are dozens of people on this thread alone agreeing with OP, and you might as well take that amount and multiply it by 100-1000 to get a general idea of what the rest of the non-forum posters would feel as well.

Like i said to begin with, I'm not even disagreeing with the 'solo dungeons' part. I wouldn't mind trying a challenge like that either. My point, is this is an MMORPG and it wouldn't be classified as such if you weren't intended to partake in the content with others. OP's instances of soloing in XI, was him soloing content that was meant for groups. If you turn these group endeavors into instances that 'can' be soloed, you are effectively draining the pool of bodies needed to make up groups, in which the content was fully intended. If 10 of you that agree to this main a Tank, you just probably made 3 other people wait 5mins longer in there DF.

What wrong with quoting my experience?

This reminds me of my FFXI forum days. I'd go in and talk as an Experienced summoner and compare things with their ideas and what Summoner currenltly has, and I'd only get "Don't derail this thread into a Summoner thread!" replies. Usually about 25 of them, which was ironic since they all derailed the thread to whine about me. Sometimes it is better to just shut up, even if you are whiny.

There r so many aspect of game where this can be seen.. Doing T2 is robbing a whm from the total pool, using PLD instead is robbing the chance for WAR etc...

The difference with this is that people will not repeat it multiple times, if they do it once, they will be satisfied with it. Unless it offers more for repeat.

FFXIV exist because of FFXI.

Actually somewhat incorrect. If that was the case the game wouldn't have been torn apart in remade. It was changed BECAUSE it was like FFXI.

FFXIV was not like FFXI, they remade the whole wheel, thats why it failed, it was rejected by FFXI players, added to the fact that it was half finished. Yoshi came and watered down everything into a generic clone.

Many of us hoped we can use Chocobo to semi-solo Dungeons with just 2 or 3 players...
But then on release it didnt happen!
