Can we stop destroying the solo part of this game?

[GreatLeviathan]

You can want MMOs to be solo oriented all you want. You can mack a post to argue every other post here (although a intelligent person would use multiquote, which you seem to overlook) but it will not change the fact that the rest of the community is here dissagreeing with you. Post till your fingers bleed. It will not change the fact that your the minority in your thinking.

Cry, whine, moan, and complain all you like. Nothing says "I don't get it " more then crying in post that you can't solo the game with easen in a game, clearly based on the symbiotic relationship between all its classes. Its designed for multiple players to work together to acconplish goals, quests, NM kills, boss kills, to develop bonds and LS comrodery.

You can solo kill mobs around your level, which reguarless of what you heard, experienced MMO players can tell you thats standard. You can solo leves and other quest design to gain XP and level. They removed easy mode because the community asked for it.

If you do not like all that, don't play, this game is not for you.

Lol........
I am almost lvl 50 soloing without 7 others so yeah i know how to play the game.
Secondly i never said i want FFXIV to be solo orientated.
Again read.

I don't see anything in this thread asking for solo only content, generally most solo vs group threads consist of you and your buddies saying making ppl group is a good thing. Whereas the solo players aren't asking for things handed to them like you and your buddies seem to claim alot. Quote the post that says that. All they ask is that its not a group only game.

Thank you options.
Too bad they delete our stuff but not those unpolite trolls that don't do anything then destroying someone elses post.
But yeah i never asked the game to be more solo or less party..
All i asked is a cure option.
When cure 2 heals 200 hp out of 2000 thats bs..
A potion does 100-150...
Regen does 150 and then like 15-30 every 5 seconds..
Bloothbath does around 150-200...
And the enemy's hit for 250-300 sometimes.

Cure 2 can be used around what? 7 times ?
Why not make it 7 times worth of using. Like a heal of 500-600.
All the party's have 2 mages spamming cure... they wont complain indeed. all easy cakes.
But a solo archer doesnt have 1500 mp lol.
So yeah again all this post is meant for is to point out that cure doesnt cure enough.

there is nothing wrong with solo. I often solo on leves (within my own level bracket) and i am finding that i have no issue with difficulty or exp % from what i do.

And why is this? It is a simple case of knowing my own level restrictions. If im level 11, it would be stupid to shoot for a level 15!!! I for one am glad SE have noticed this problem and have dealt with it.

it's now a simple application of logic. Mobs < your level - easy to beat, less exp of course. Mobs = your level = average, depending on your skill will determine the outcome. this is asbout as "even" as it gets! Mobs > your level - harder to beat, expect heavvy damage. if not, death.

I cannot see why ppl are having a hard time with this issue. It's MMORPG 101....before that.....RPG 101!!

Indeed lucinda.
Already changed gear as dated stuff sucks ass lol.
And yeah i now attack only my rank and 1 up altough 1 lvl more sometimes is too much depending on which enemy.

Well I cannot personally give thepros and cons of your gear. I imagine you are seeking the best for your level?

But im glad you agree that the levels are matched to the players levels. I personally find the exp given in each circumstance as reasonable. Mobs being at the same level as yourself give good exp. If you are finding those mobs tough, try searching for other mobs of thst level to fight. Personally I find Mobs as a princible of tactics, rather than stats and gear

Thanks GreatLeviathan. I'm just so sick of the misinformation these supposed hardcores trying to change the game to the way they want to play. They seem to don't care whether the game succeeds or not or whether there is an influx of players as long as it plays the way they want to play.

Honestly i come from wow and while yes you can level to cap in a few days/weeks, not everyone does. I know one of my guildies took her time, it took her 2 1/2 years to level cap. When she finally got to cap we didn't sit there and say "You played it wrong", we congratulated her.

We had guild members who capped their exp to play bc expansion only. We had people playing the auction house, i did to an extent. I even had characters capped at 20-30-40 etc so i could do dung runs with lowbies. I did heroics, raids part time with friends when they needed me. I powerlvld friends if they wanted me too.

It use to take me 4-8 mnths to lvl cap cause i cleared every zone, read and did every quest, gained reputation with factions, etc till i moved on to the next zone. So yes you can get to lvl cap quickly BUT you don't have to.

I'll give you a little hint supposed hardcores, that is why wow is so popular. They recognized that not everyone plays the same way. And for the person that says "Go back to wow" i say "Go back to whatever niche game you came from". I don't want a wow clone, I want ffxvi with options to play the game however anyone wants to play it. I'm not selfish, i realize this is a massive multiplayer (That word that the other side keeps throwing around) online game which means there are others out there playing the game, playing it differently.

Pay attention now, supposed hardcores. While i like to group, i also like to do other things. I DO NOT want this game to be one way only. The majority of solo/casual players don't either. Read ALL the posts before you start claiming we want everything handed to us.

As you state "Supposed Harcores" generalize casuals, you then generalize hardcores... this all seem contradictory to the point your trying to convey.

Because i am not referring to all hardcores. I consider myself hardcore when i'm hooked on a game. I'll be playing 8-16 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I'm referring to the grp only crowd who claim this is the only way thats hardcore. Hardcores will solo too.

for the sake of my late arrival since my last post and the long number of pages that have followed what is your view of the games current state of leveling both for solo/party?

[options]

I don't mind the new patch. I'm learning to adjust but i've been playing muds/mmos since the mid-late nineties so i'm use to it. Its the elitism by some members that has me posting.

I know a mob my level should be an even match and a mob higher then me should kick my butt unless i'm geared. I'd even be playing more since the new patch if i didn't have a shitty isp that drops all the time.

My only gripe would be the cost of mp in healing and the little reward.

I don't care how anyone else plays, group, solo, or they want to try and hook up if they want too. I just don't want the game to be pidgeon holed into one game style. Many ways of gamestyle leads to more income and a better supported product. But there are some people that just want their way only. And there are some comments like "you're playing it wrong" that gives me the peeves. They are the people i am referring too. Instead of offering alternatives, they troll.

Overall i like the game and its direction, ifrit fight looks f'ing cool, and there are more ideas to add. But to stifle ideas cause some members don't like it, that is wrong. There are some things in this game that make me want to /facepalm but i'm not gonna fill up 5 threads with my opinion.

You don't like instanced raids but you like open world dungeons. Why not have both. You don't like to solo but you like to grp, have both. and the many other ways this game could add things.
