[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

[Zenaku]

Wow am I the only one who thinks helping other players in trouble will be a lot more fun with this system than XI's help command that basically meant throwing away the XP reward altogether.

level sync would be better then PL lol

So everyone getting to r50 as fast as they can without the knoweledge of how to do their job is rewarding?

I have to disagree. All the work that I've put into the classes I have now could have been avoided by waiting to PL because somebody wants to use up (waste) their time PL me? No no no. Ranking up is EASY enough as it is right now, and PL would make things ridiculously, stupid easy.

Yoshi says "First Attack" claiming to secure the rewards, i wonder does this include stuff like Provoke etc. because if it does later on i would believe we'd have the same claim bot woes we had in FFXI, Although i know they wanna instances most stuff which i believe would negate most claim competition but any open world stuff would fall subject to potential claim botting.

Alrighty, Yoshida made a large post regarding the new claim system...

I fully support what Yoshi-P said. If this wear a game that had yet to be released, it'd be a different story. But a lot of the population already has their classes of choice at or near 50 and are multimillionaires. All an arbitrary grind would do is create a difficult point of entry for new players.

This allows the dev team to focus on fun and challenging events rather than waste their time coming up with new grind locations.

In the end its a personal choice as he said, play the game and grind it out or be that guy and get plvled to 50 it's your choice, if majority of the community wants to be that guy and get a ride to 50 then blame the community not the mechanics, because there should be options to help your friends as it does tighten the bonds of community..

I'm not really seeing the point anymore to all the party changes changes and xp changes if you are gonna allow PL to be so ez. Oh well, I feel bad the group of players who puts the time and effort to make a sp party to only get their spot ruined by a PL party killing everything in 5 seconds while it takes the sp party 40 seconds to kill. This seems like it will not end well.

It's not personal choice you still be force to do so. Everyone would have a pl and get max level faster then you. so you be force to do so, just to get to there level to do the event there doing because if you don't then you have to find other linkshell who doing the event your linkshell stop doing months ago due to new stuff.

This is why i request a level sync vs powerleveling

I powerleveled people/groups in FFXI. This is something that is possible to do in most grouping MMO's so there is really not a lot of proof that it kills grouping. They seem pretty intent on improving group play with the linking system, xp chains, and more party areas they have planned.

I don't see this as a big deal, you still have to have someone willing to powerlevel you which not everyone will have. There were still plenty of real groups in Yuhtunga/Yhoator Jungle despite all the people who powerleved people/groups there.

Thanks Bayohne for the official translation. It does not really matter it took some time to get translated.

I am looking forward to all the content being implemented, hope is near rather than far ^^;

Ill be glad to test out how this will work out.

The sad part is how much time they had to spend making this response to people. How much could have gotten done?

They're gonna do stuff that works, folks -- the game will only get easier and more streamlined as time progresses It will not get harder and/or more complicated. Just get used to it.
