low manning dungeons

[Furyan]

I was kind of thinking of an interesting idea wheb reminiscing about my old FFXI days.

The thing I enjoyed most sbout FFXI is that I played with mainly with one friend. Obviously I had a end game linkshell to do the relevant content but me and friend used to challenge ourselves to duoing things which didnt seem all that possible. I was RDM and my friend was THF we used to go around duoing things like bune and charybdis which even some 6 man groups would struggle to kill. The challenge was huge and it took a lot longer. However the sense of achievement was massive.



Anyway, onto my point. I would like to be able to enter dungeons with less than the normal amount of people.

Yes the rewards can be the same but the challenge is greater therefore making it more fun. Also less people means more chance you will get the gear you want.

Imagine ifirt HM with only 4 people. To be able to do this you would need gear which way surpasses anything you can obtain from ifrit. But the challenge of pushing you and your 4 man team to the limit would be immense to say the least. And all of the above would keep older content used.

Please my idea is only basic and comes from my need to thrive on new challenges and finding extreme ways to achieve things

If you can expand on this that would be great

"Thank you" for not using the search function.

There is already a way to do content with fewer people.. Get 4 of your friend together, queue for DF and once you get in, Tell them you all are not doing anything until they all leave, then use /sit and wait.

I was kind of hoping for a more friendly and official way of achieving this. Thanks anyway

I believe you can "walk in" to dungeons with fewer people than are required to enter with the duty finder.

The DF prevents it. If you que with 3 of 4 the DF gives you the 4th and won't load in until a 4th joins.

Imo, every dungeon should have an entrance that we can walk into manually. So if we walk in the entrance with 3, we go in with 3 bypassing the DF completely.

They said they might allow something like this in the future, hopefully sooner then later.

I wouldnt want to use the DF for this game play at all. This is something you would do with a skilled group of friends and just bypass the DF all together

Reminds when we did Tam Tara from the 2nd to last boss without healer and Copperbell without Tank, it was hard but it was fun.

They said that they will add the possibility to enter with less than 4 people and use chocobos inside but they never said when.

Go duo chimera! Can enter it with however many people you want.
