This Game has some Serious Issues

[Jre418]

First off you level way to fast in this game. I can get from 1-50 just wearing my gear I start off with. FATES are the dumbest I'v seen in any game they are so easy and mindless. FATES either need to be removed or fixed so that they scale to the people fighting them. This game has such a great looking world but it is just empty more world content needs to be added. World content also needs to be more party based everything is solo. Materia and crafting seems to just a second thought to Yoshi P you don't need any Materia through out the game or craft anything its just there. Teleportation is very dumb in this game you can teleport everywhere whats the point of airships and boats. Yoshi P had it right near the end of 1.0 with adding NM's, fixing up the battle system and other features then it just seem he went backwards and made a WOW variation of Final Fantasy.

Contradicting yourself much?

Wait, so there can't be other world content besides FATEs? You serious?

This looks like a sarcastic troll piece.


Assuming this highly unlikely scenario really occurred I'll respond a bit (yeah I know feeding the troll).

Do you really want to go down that path where SE makes massive sweeping changes to the game because there's stupid people out there? How are you going to level your third job to 50 without any fates? Hell how are you going to level your second as you can easily clear quest hubs with your first job?

With the removal of fates a person who joins this game and runs around doing all the quests for their first job (as they would in any other MMO) will be utterly screwed when they decide to level another job.

That is an issue with the leveling design. FATEs are boring and monotonous. Yet that's how they want us to level our alts. That's a huge flaw. There are so many classes I want to level, but the idea of me just grinding fates to do it isn't appealing at all.

Yeah, I can do my hunting log(which is pitiful experience post 30, and is only useful for barely a full level), guildhests (which aren't even worth doing more than once, hence why no one queues for them), leves (which are only good experience when done in bulk, say 15 at a time), or dungeons, but the experience you get for the time it takes is pitiful as well unless you've got armory bonus and rested. Plus, DPS have long queues. So that's not very viable either.

The game is nothing but a massive FATE grind. You can either do it with your main job, or you can choose to do it with your alts. Either way, you'll end up doing it unless you want to hit a dead end with leveling. That's why I'm waiting to see what 2.1 brings before I level something else. Then again, I might just wait for the game to go F2P. It's hard to justify playing this game when their net code is so atrocious, and that the GCD delay is "part of the challenge and working as intended". What year is this? 1999?

If you don't think this is the game for you, don't play it. Nobody told you to FATE grind.

[Rin_Kuroi]

So you're telling me you can do Garuda with starting gear? Oh, you mean just fate grinding while ignoring 90% or more of game's content?

There's many other things to do besides fate grind. I agree that there should be more ways to level, but STOP asking them to remove fates just because people choose to participate them in the most boring way possible.

I never did a fate grinding PUG until yesterday. It was a bit faster exp gain than I normally get, but so mindlessly boring. Before yesterday, I only did FATEs when they happened to appear where I was while I was doing something else. FATEs are a nice, exciting, and challenging change of pace when I do them organically, instead of spamming them with a giant, cheap group.

Plus, they already told us they are adding some more ways to level in 2.1.

FATEs are incredibly flawed. They certainly need a LOT of tweaking. I've lost count of how many level 50s I've seen that are wearing level 15 gear in Ifrit/AK. Had a WAR pop in Ifrit last night wearing level 18 gear and said he'd never tanked anything in the game and didn't know how to hold hate. That should never happen.

I...don't know what to say about that, other than that it definitely should never happen. I'd suggest that SE should include a dungeon as part of the class/job stories, but that wouldn't work well for the several DPS classes.

Whoa whoa whoa, that's messed up. In this case though that's up to the player to bother learning their class before doing something like a dungeon run or fighting a primal. But yeah, this should never happen, just by going with logic lol that's just begging for disaster. One thing is not knowing how the dungeon works, but another is not having any idea how to play your class/job, specially something like tank, on top of wearing way under-leveled gear. Thankfully they're going to implement item level requirements for such runs.
