Great party last night!

[Cycloptichorn]

I was in two great parties today and I hated every minute of it. Spam spam spam spam spam. Buffs, cure, buffs, cure, nuke if you feel froggy, buffs, cure. Go play some other MMO? Probably will.

So, you're bitching because you don't like the difficulty of soloing, and you don't like the difficulty of partying.

Perhaps you could, I dunno, quit complaining so much about the game, and work at being better at it instead?

Partying is not difficult. It's uninspiring, and for lack of a better word, boring.

You're in a lame-ass party then. Try doing something a little more challenging if you, yaknow, want more challenges.

Re: your soloing issues, all I can say is that I'm engaging groups of mobs, with links and multiple spawns, solo, with very little problem at all. Perhaps you should re-examine your character or ability setup and look for weaknesses there...

Quality had nothing to do with it. They were good parties. What I dislike about it is there is little to no consequence for dire mistakes. There is little to no time for the need or implementation of a strategy. Engage mob, /wait 5, reap rewards. That is the definition of boring. Frustrating, I believe, is the term you're looking to apply to bad parties.

What level are you opposed to the range of level of your targets?

NO, you are in a bad party if you're taking on mobs that have no risk of wiping your group at all. You aren't getting the SP you could be getting, because you're not pushing yourselves. That's a lame-ass party full of people who don't want a challenge. Not the game's fault.

Next time yer in a pt like that, and it gets boring, go somewhere with higher level mobs.

What level are you opposed to the range of level of your targets?

On my lower level jobs, within 5 ranks. On my r50 GLA, no more than 5 ranks for sure, though I can do stuff from even to four ranks higher pretty much indefinitely. You are quite correct that a spawn of a mob 4-5 ranks higher than yourself, while soloing, can be deadly; but that's what separates the good from the merely OK in this game, the ability to ride that bleeding edge of viability.

You do realize the 10Lv. cap on EXP is still in place right? What would be the good point of going to tougher mobs for the same EXP? Who in the group do you think would agree with that?

Within 5 ranks, higher or lower than yourself? Of course you can chain things at Lv.50; you have those extra ability slots that a Lv.25 doesn't. I'm not saying I cannot survive the addition of another tough mob, but the options at that point are A. Fight and hope you win, or B. Run and start over. How is that conducive to actually getting anything done if it's liable to happen over and over again?

You stated that you were doing: CON PGL PGL GLA Lv.21-24 fighting Lv.25-29 crabs.

You could have been doing lvl. 29-34 of some other mob that is deadlier, if you want more of a challenge and more sp. But, I don't need to tell ya that, you already know it.

Higher than myself. And I've had no problems at all with my lower chars. since the update, I have no idea why you seem to be unable to handle the sitch.

Yes, for god's sake, when the going gets tough, you have to fight and hope you win. You seem to want great sp soloing with no chance of dying. That's weak sauce. You can't have both good SP and no risk, there has to be a tradeoff.

Like I said above - the difference between a good player and an okay player, is that the good player will win those close matches 19/20 times, the okay player 12/20.

You just played this game for a few days ( less than month as I checked )
And this is a day #2 of 1.19 and you complaining....

I think you should play more before complain.

I know it appears that way, but trust me I've been playing since day 1. Religiously at that.

Soloing isn't difficult, it's boring and lonely. I like having people there to talk to, someone to back me up when i need a potty break, stuff like that.
