More content for solo players?

Multiplayer Online RPG

Multiplayer doesn't mean a game for more than one player? It means party? I think you need your IQ checked. There needs to be more solo content and more party content.

Multi = more than one. Player = someone who plays~! = more than one someone who plays.
yes they're usually heavy on the side of party content, i've no objection to that, but 'gifted' people who say they're ONLY about partying should wear helmets.

My vote is for more content that brings solo players into groups. That's not some weasely compromise. Some players play solo because it's harder for them to log in regularly. I think that players that interact and group will keep playing longer and enjoy the game more.

If you got no clue about the definition of the word, not my fault.
Multiplayer is defined as "Playing together and/or against other players". This is the set definition of the word and how it is used for gaming purposes. There is no game in the world that has a Multiplayer Mode, where you play solo...simple fact.

And as I said before, if you want to make this a personal battle, just go on, I know I got the facts on my side.
Of course some won't be pleased with my thoughts and/or views, but they are based on facts, not my "prefered" playstyle. If I wouldn't like to play with other people, I wouldn't play an MMO...so why do people who want to play solo, play an MMO? Oh right, cause they think they got the right to demand this, although the game was never made for those people.

To give you a simple example, that you should be able to understand. I love the Resident Evil Series(yes even 4+5)...now they made Operation Racoon City, which is an Online MMO FPS/TPS...just cause I like Resident Evil I'm not gonna play this, cause in the end it's an FPS/TPS and I'm not a fan of those...people like you on the other hand, just play it anyways and think since it's a Resident Evil Game, this should be playable as other Resident Evil games, so I should be able to do shit alone, although the intention of the game was never meant to cater solo players...

I will repeat myself again happily...this is an MMORPG, it was NEVER meant to be played by solo players. Usually all MMORPGs restrict their solo content to lvling...anything more than that is just to throw players like you a bone, cause of course, they need to think about profit and a lost players is lost money.

Actually, it was made with solo play in mind.

Going it Solo: Being able to solo will factor big into the world of Eorzea, and the developers reveal that they are working hard to make a game that does not impede the solo player. Naturally, since enemies can appear in parties, there will be difficult, or even insurmountable challenges out there. However, Iwao in particular finds a certain romantic image in the lone adventurer, and hopes to accomodate that playing style to the fullest.

Thank your for a constructive response first.

Second like I said, they do this to throw players who want to play solo a bone, but it doesn't change that first and foremost MMOs are made for players who wanna play with others together and/or against each other.

I'm not saying that solo content in an MMO is wrong, or it shouldn't be there, I'm saying players who DEMAND solo content should be happy about any solo content at all, cause MMOs are not made to actually satisfy the needs of a solo player, that's what solo/offline games are made for.

And like I said, this is my personal view, I think this has a lot to do with the FF Franchise. A lot of players who played XI and play XIV never touched an MMO before, cause it wasn't FF...now that they played all other FF titles and could "fiinsh" the game to it's fullest, they somehow misconcept MMOs as something that should make it possible for them to do the same as in the offline/solo counterparts. Not neccesarilly by doing the same content, but the "goal" should be the same as in "I want to play solo, but I want to get to the same point party players get".

Howdy!

I got a response from Yoshi-P himself in regards to your questions about solo-content.

He mentioned that he is not really thinking about implementing solo-centric end-game content, but with the introduction of the content finder in version 2.0, it will make it easier to group up and challenge content without the stress of forming parties yourself. There are also plans to increase the number of quests as well.

This sucks to know. I just lost a bit of hope I have for 2.0 =/
