Can we stop destroying the solo part of this game?

[GreatLeviathan]

Hello SE and Forum Community,

First of i really like the patch a lot!!

The thing that still would need a fix is the absurd extreme high costs for cure 2.
Now with the physical lvl being gone solo archers or other classes not mages can't even choose to put points in MP.
I am an lvl 43 archer and know all my skills and which ones to use and so on.
But being killed by just 3 lvl 46 efts is ridicules...
I mean there is no way you can heal enough.
I took all advice of my previous post and got bloothbath and second wind.
Then i use cure and Sacrifice but nothing is enough.
Also the fact that an archer still misses a lot of shots..

How do people do a quest if they can't heal themselves without an overpowered easy mage class that almost has unlimited healing..
Not everyone likes to follow a group like a puppy dog.
Some like to play just on their own or with friends when they choose to.
I understand that cure 2 with 22mp was way too low and easy but 75 is just extremely destroying peoples gameplay.
Not just me but every solo player complains about this.
A monster of 3 lvl's higher should be harder then same lvl but not impossible.

How about a potion that heals more then just 150 and has a cooldown of 5 minutes?
A potion that heals 600 would be nice already.
Or make cure 2 cost 50 mp so we can use it at least 8 times..
But yeah i love the game and go with the flow and all but this is just going a little overboard..

I am someone that wants to go his own way in a game.. not following 7 other players to where the leader wants to go you know ?
For those starting to troll and stuff..
It's just an opinion of the games MP costs.
So don't start with the whine and QQ stuff.
If you don't have anything better to do then bash on someones opinion then go play outside in the sandbox.

Kind Regards,

Levi.

I also like to solo, mostly because I don't want to have to be on everyone eles's timetable. I don't understand why there should be a limit on how much a character can level up. It would be awesome to be able to solo all of the quests.

I agree with the OP. My two cents about soloing is that I should be able to log in and enjoy some basics. Basics for me is leveling for one. You shouldn't need a party for this. Also I should be able to do most quests solo if I chose to.

Not all mind you but most. I play MMOs because it's a flat monthly fee so that helps keep my costs down. There's always new things added so it changes. SE please make this the fun casual game you said it be. Don't make it into XI.

just tried to kill 2 lvl 46 Toxic Flytraps....
Died twice already. Impossible to do..
And i don't think the dated bs has anything to do with this.

[UnrealTai]

no, go play wow :P

No.
It's an online game. It defeats the purpose.

By the time jobs roll around, I'm sure the game will be better balanced for it so don't worry too much.

I´m a heavy soloer and I don´t know which game your guys are playing?! I soloed as GLA, MRD, PUG and ARCH after patch, and its faster than before. First thing, read the notes, second, update your equipament, status matter now and keep your level near the mobs. I´m doing chain 3 easily for 670~ exp, getting almost 12-14k exp hour soloing with any class.

You guys are trying to kill/fight same mobs as before the patch, that not gonna work.

For Me I Want a lot more Group Content You can in no way solo and get good rewards or even do..

But yeah I also want a lot of content designed for solo so when i cant or dont feel like playing with others i can still do something worth while.
Maybe Stuff Relating to your Path Companion and doing Repeatable Quests with them.
Or something related to a bond with your chocobo and fighting along side them to improve breeding.

Heres the issue.

Right now a monster of equal level is an even match, this is how it should always be. Whats the point in showing the monster level if they aren't on level footing with you at the same level?

So yeah, killing a monster 1 or 2 levels above you should be tougher.

In your opening post, you aren't complaining about fighting a monster 3 levels higher then you (which in itself should be tough) you are complaining about fighting THREE of them. And now you are complaining about fighting TWO monsters that are 3 levels higher than you.

Learn your limits, they are different from what they used to be and playing alone will not allow you to progress at the same speed as those that work together.

Combat is finally getting balanced. You need to rethink your strategies on fighting and fight things more your level (and not multiples at once if you can avoid it). Through chain and link xp, you'll make more xp over time than trying to fight monsters a higher level than yours.
