I do feel that this game should be party based, though due to the low amount of players, I like having solo be an option until the numbers get up again. I do not like the idea of nerfing the levequests for groups, but I am happy that solo adventurers have something to do until their mates get online/get back to the game.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think much is changing as far as solo play is concerned. All that's being done is incentive to do leves as a group is being removed. I don't think the base SP for leves is being boosted at all. Options to rank up are being taken away here, we're not being given more options (as far as we know).

    Well depending how its implemented, the completion bonus at the end could make it better. after all, a soloist didnt get much sp from regular monsters in leves.

    Essentially lets say a fully linked leve used to give you 20k sp for killing all the monsters, now they reduce the effectiveness of linking for 4 links by half, but they give you 10k sp for completion. the amount of sp for a group is still at best 20k sp, but now the solo dude, who had no access to leve link buffs, will probably get like 3k or 4k for the kills, but get 10k for competion.

    It basically makes it way more beneficial than it used to be for soloers, but you still get more when linked, just not as much more. The advantage linkers will have now, is getting a better bonus on top of the bonus, with difficulty and time of completition, of course that will require better overall play.

    the question becomes though, how will this make leve linking not the prefered tactic, even if they drop the benefit of linking lower.... hmm i wonder if you can get the SP on completion if you dont have the leve, that may be the deciding factor

    That constructive info being said, this thread, on failing leves, can finally die. May it burn.
