This patch is waste time 1.20

I think it was a good thing for the first time... now I really don't want to keep doing it.

Yeah, the novelty of having to walk past all those trees has kinda worn thin. Also, they need to change it to where you can still toggle walk while in active mode. It's annoying when the hog does its charge, knocks people back, then you have to disengage and walk to it since he knocked the tank back and runs towards them, otherwise you incur the wrath of the trees and die.

Yes, this fight is completely made to waste our time. Killing NM's is the easiest part, the problem is moving around, which is a pain in the neck (to do it every time). You thought tapers were bad?

Unfortunately this "stalling the players until 2.0 with crappy content" strategy is growing old (crappy = nothing challenging, no progress, huge time sink, repeatative, etc).

Somehow they managed to create their largest (and worst) time sink so far. Looks like someone worked hard.

Guess they had to counteract having the Moogle fight cleared within 6 hours somehow. "Well if they beat it so easily, let's make it to where they won't want to keep doing it over and over!"

Or something.

I totally loved the moogle quest and the fun/frustrating mechanics with the trees, the aggro mobs, the links, etc.

Repeating that for every kill however, I dont like it so much.

It worked on Final Fantasy XI.

MMOs have changed a lot since XI's release.

As a whole i like the patch, the classes feel more balanced, although I would personally like more usefull cross class abilities. 3-4 are really usefully then your just down to fillers.

the combo system is a great addition.

Well they need people to spend time doing something, it's obviously not spent leveling up.

It's typical of SE to force some kind of time-sink bullshit on us like this.

At least western devs try to hide this kind of grind and tedious time-sink nonscense.

It's blantly obvious this game is still lacking content, you don't need to add silly stuff like this to hide the fact.
