Company Seals for your own chocobo THATS IT?!

[syntaxlies]

pretty sure i beat that dungeon for the first time on the hardest boss in under 30 min....
then a day later beat it on the easiest boss in like 10 min...
its especially easy when you can just look at a map that tells you what to do.

-NOTHING- in this game... AT ALL... is challenging atm. Except maybe Dzamael speed run and thats more about being able to gather a bunch of mages than it really is a challenge

nothing challagng in this game at all are big words from someone who has not beaten batraal

No quest...NO QUEST???? I just spent a year on my chocobo quest, what are you all talking about????

Hmm let's see:

- 30 minutes is three times as long as 10 minutes, so you've already backtracked quite a bit

- I just ran the dungeon 3 times with 4 r50's doing a little farming the other day. It takes almost 10 minutes to pop the first gate, and that's if you are going pretty quick and know exactly what you are doing. So I'm going to go ahead and call BS on your second claim.

- Sure, lots of things are easy if you cheat. There's no solution for that.



Things are a lot more challenging when you don't 'look at a map' where someone else has told you how to do it.

I think there are plenty of challenging things in this game; just not things that people want to do. Or are you telling me that you are running around killing the various r80-99 mobs we see without a challenge?

i said 30 min for the HARDEST boss. thats like opening -every- gate. First or second boss i can pretty well solo in 15min and with a party can do it in 10 min easy. You dont really have to kill anything, just run to the lights (which are always in the same spots). Boss fight takes less than 30 seconds...

I'm fine with it costing company seals, but maybe to appeal to the masochists that probably shouldn't even be playing MMORPGs, they could maybe increase the cost to 9000, or 10,000. By the looks of it you will be able to gain this much through doing all the quests + a few repeatables. I think that's fair. With them only costing 3,000 then the price is pointless since you can get that so easily. Nobody would use rental chocobos except for the "bottom-of-the-barrel lazy people".

I think the price would be more appropriate if it weren't for rentals. Both options are too cheap.

there is so much stuff you have to do to get a chocobo, alot more then ff11 actually. people are mad because there is no chocobo specific quest were the guy hand you your choc whistle and say's something like "you earned it". well get over it, in this game its a company issue chocobo.

The grand company quest dialogue mentioned a small snippet of text that alluded to purchasing your ranks within a company with seals. That may or may not be the case. So you may end up with less than 3k seals if you truly have to purchase your rank with seals. Don't forget there are incoming quests that are repeatable to earn company seals as well.

Furthermore, the chocobo is a means of getting us somewhere quickly. It makes the game accessible. We don't need a huge elaborate quest that spans the entirety of two months, simply running back and forth doing more fetch, daily, or levequests.

As someone mentioned previously, XI diehards confuse "challenging" with "time consuming for no reason" and the whining in this thread is proof.

People should be elated about chocobos and airships being implemented and easily accessible. Harder challenges will be on their way in the future, but a BASIC STAPLE OF TRANSPORTATION should not take 50 years to attain like XI masochists want.

uhh cept I have beaten batraal ? like 30 times+?
Also seem to have a bunch of the first NM kills on my server as well as being one of the oldest 50 mrd on the server...

Levelling Mrd at start of game = kill things in 3 seconds for 15 hours a day. the challenging part was not falling asleep.

Levelling ARC during coblyn grind + leve grind = repetitive 1-shotting coblyns and repetitive leves

2 dungeons = easy.

quests = all overly easy (solo'd everyone pretty well)

missions = can do every one at rank 1

behests = solo'd pug to 30ish on them so easy

what in this game isnt easy?

I thought same thing once.... But then I realized all the additions aren't for the current high rank people, and aren't assumed that everyone has 7500 seals already.

how many seals do you think they will give for rank 20 caravan support. im thinking somewhere around 10-25 per time.

the price is right were is should be so that rank 25-30 wil be able to get the personal chocobo.

all the in game seals right now up to rank 25 are 2750 which still leaves 250 seals to gather after 1.19. also you may have to use some of those seals to buy your next rank which will make the gap even bigger. attaining a mount should not be a long term goal.

not counting DH cause its rank45 and you shuold have a choc by rank 30
