Wat you miss when abandoning leves

[RathSkybreaker]

I agree, and hopefully they will address this, I think by adding SP bonus' for completing leves would big a good step in that direction.

Adding this they could then increase the popularity of less popular leves, and add further bonuses for linking them as well.

maybe it's just me but when I do faction, it's just like another leve with different mobs, and after awhile it's gets the same feeling of "I've done this over 20x", they just prolonged the appearance of that effect by adding points. Granted they are ,at first,funner, Just after awhile dull none the less.

not sure there....i really wish they did have more variation of mobs to grind on for groups and solo for when the groups are not available. sure solo shouldn't be as good of sp as groups, but should be a fall back when you have no party to group with.

I agree, I wish they would at least make it more obvious that they support grinding... Every time they added more mobs to the map, I was like YES! GRIND, nope no grind =\

it's the same thing with the world nm's. the first few times i was all excited to go fight them and by now it's like ummm idk i am fishing or crafting maybe later.

EXACTLY! I mean first time to fight buffalo we wiped and I was like o shit.. finally a challenge! Then after a few tries and after we found out sorrnous blast (sp?) was a hate reset, it was easy mode and we went about our boring ffxiv lives.. it's pitiful =\ They need an AV reincarnate >_> Only reason I fish is because it requires minimal attention and I can watch anime, even that I've stopped doing though so idk. June will make me a believer again I hope, I spent so much money on this damn game, it better not fail xD...Maybe not as much money as per say time.

buffalo i never really had a problem with because i was in an experienced linkshell so i just had to follow their lead. my issue was how many times i watched people wipe to dodore pre nerf and people figuring out emulate. that thing was a beast until people figured out to tank it with a good thm or mele with the thm ability. i was still doing nm's before the nerf almost daily, but now if i do them now it is just to duo or trio one. since the nerf they are completely boring.

edit: i fish because i am leveling alchemy and just now starting cul so it gives me multiple classes to rank up at once. it also allows me to watch tv and relax. when i get free time to myself i like to kick back because when my group gets on in the evening it is go go go go. either it's leves or going to grind.

Ah well we never had problems with dodore.. before the whole emulate, and before we had a thm leveled really, we just GLD tanked him.. was difficult, but we basically mimicked gob strat. Buff was hard because we were ignorant to the blast .. one fight we got over it and we just steam roll him now.. The ls i help run is quite efficient at killing nms now, get about 2 kills of one NM in it's window. Other than that it's to the point where thms Emulate really needs to get nerfed, it makes this easy game even easier.. A thm in my guild is soloing dodore and gob for fun now... that shouldn't happen.. at least not until sky jesus... RDM solo genbu >_> -face palm-

the one thing is i don't think it's emulate that needs to be nerfed. i think it's the mobs that are all magical should have some physical attacks instead of all magic. the dodore is easy because as long as you stay outside of its range for the tail whip you are safe since none of the minions attack physically. the gob is the same way, but they do have a physical attack it's just really weak. either that or have each of the dodore's minions be a different element that way if you emulate one you take over the strength of that one, but the others can still do massive damage.

the reason i don't like the nerfing of abilities like that one is they only have small amounts of occasions they are useful. it just happens to be the 2 times its useful is during nm battles. if they made adjustments to those mobs in little aspects it would still have use, but not be the end all be all there.

Creative, IDK why they didn't hire you on the dev team. No sarcasm <_< for once.

well outside of elementals, dodore, and gob there's not much use in emulate. it does you zero good to use it against a physical attack mob because it only takes elemental resistance. i just don't want to see an ability nerfed then have no use at all in game. they should all have something they assist with and nothing being completely worthless.

then again it's like most of this game. if you took a step back most of the issues in the game could have been fixed with changes not completely redoing it and already been getting content by now. it's easier to make little fix here and there than to completely take it down and redo it.

if i make a program and something doesn't work properly i debug and find the error and fix if. i do not throw the code out and start from scratch. if i cannot fix the error by fixing things then i will start from scratch using a different approach. i do not do work on games or anything like that just basic .exe programs. gaming language could be completely different so i am not sure there. it just seems common sense.
