Confirmation of Uncapped Raids. Confirmation of a terrible decision.

Hello hello!

Thank you again for your questions, I got some answers about the dungeons!

First, the level cap is not restrictive. This means that a rank 40 player can enter a dungeon level 25, with no level adjustment. As for the disconnections, the player who disconnects will remain in the dungeon, as there is at least one member of his team now, so he can join his team once again online.

To the question of AquaRyu for the moment only two towers are planned, however I will pass your suggestion on a dungeon level 20!

Way to halfass more filler content that will be completed in two weeks.

Give us OPTIONS!

- Voluntary level cap feature: Any player above the recommended dungeon level can initiate this feature to scale their level down. Example: Lv.50 Player wants a challenge so his Lv.50 job is scaled down to Lv.25 for Toto-Rak.

- Make it so loot doesn't drop when there is a player that is 10 levels above the recommended level in the dungeon. TERA's instanced content works like this and it helps balance content.

- Scaling up monsters based on the highest member in the group is great BUT you also need to scale the highest member's abilities down to match the lower levels! Adding more HP does not add more Strategy! Reducing the ways you can deal with encounters springs forth new ideas and cool new challenges!

- ???

- PROFIT!

Well at least they got that part right. I loved it when they removed caps in XI.

It's just so fun to think of a way to solo a dungeon with time and patience and proper planning.

Oh yeah 60min? Well in XI that was fun... in XIV probably impossible due to this game offering no freedom whatsoever like past FF games.

So now someone can walk you through a dungeon. Woohoo, another example of SE wasting time on crap when they should be fixing their game.

Unfortunately, you won't be soloing dungeons anytime soon: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ated-%28Q-A%29

Hello,

I have checked with Yoshida producer regarding the number of players required for the raid dungeon

In patch 1.18 the number of players required will be as following.

* The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak : 4 party members required
* The Dzemael Darkhold: 8 party member required

Due to the server load and looking from balance perspective it will be as above for now. Once after releasing in 1.18 and being played we will look/listen to player feedback we will release different variations of players required.

Per Yoshida producer he says “8 party required Dzemael Darkhold holds a really good reward, so please give a try.”

Confirmation of players winning the right to experience the dungeon the way they want to as long as they are the minimum level


lets face it, the lower dungeon isnt endgame, its mid game
mid game content, mid game challenge
endgame characters wont be going there for the challenge

You guys should really just do yourself, and everyone else, a favor: quit the game

Edit: Directed at the whiners~

So you condone 1-2 Lv.50's blowing through Toto-Rak for 2-3 Lv.25's? It's things like this that destroy any semblance of a challenge in games anymore. You may as well be breastfeeding at 15 years old.

Like I said in the other thread: The mark of a well-designed game is proper game balance throughout the entire game, not only at end-game.

yes, but you dont balance a rank 30 dungeon for rank 50s

you balance it for rank 30s
