Thread totally not about Roegadyn tails

[Zaaku]

I feel like mixing it up, lets be honest in this one.


I'd like to address the issue with the party system as we have it right now. Sitting in Ul'dah for 2 hours while waiting for one guy to gather 7 link minded people isn't exactly my idea of fun. Aside from PLing sucking the life out of available PT members and SE not emphasizing party play early on so people never learn how to do it properly. One of the largest problems I'm finding is the 8 man quota to fill.

Say what you will about low manning or 'heading out early'. It NEVER works! If you don't leave with 8 people no one wants to come. They perceive it as a broken PT and are very likely not to port with you or disband entirely. Gathering 6 people WITH level sync was a trick of itself in FFXI. Mandating the 8 man PT's is killing the leveling mood and makes for a very stressful time for the brave PT leader who devotes him/herself to shouting none stop.

Personally I'd like to see a return to traditional 6 man PT's. Shifting around spell strength and mob relations and it can work just as well as an 8 man. Except it isn't quite such a gigonic pain in the pepper hole to make.

Oh look, a Zaaku thread with a legitimate complaint rather than tails.

I agree on the fact that this game seems to be reliant on either soloing or 8-man content. They need more variety in how you can stack parties. Everything atm is 8-man. While I don't actually agree with lowering the party size, they do need to give us some content with caps of 5-6 players. Alongside some 12-20 man runs like Dynamis and Sea and whatnot. It's more about variety, which is something this game does lack at the moment.

I think they talked about adding a cross-server content finder, right? Will this be available for general xp parties or only for dungeons/primals/etc, I wonder...

Wait people actually role female Elezen?

Next you'll tell me there are female Lalafells that aren't JP!

Ha! When I first started this game 4 months ago and found out a party was EIGHT people... Two words:

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYY

Not all of us intend to use the content finder. It's not really a solution people are looking for.

Also, it's intended to use for almost everything.

Man, i'm psyched about the content-finder. I'm on a server full of "no" and I'm ready to open up to a universe of "yes". (also, I'm an english-speaker on jp time, so that doesn't help any).

I'm constantly frustrated with the 8-man party requirements. I played hell getting 6 at times in FFXI.

Well my Female lala character isn't JP either! haha But I totally use Kaomoji ヾ( ＾ω＾)ノ
