MP Regen - A Bit Too Much?

[Krisan]

I like it the way it is right now. The MP only regenerates in Passive Mode, so it makes absolutely no difference during battle, and it doesn't regenerate fast enough to make any kind of a difference in a situation where you're fighting multiple mobs in a row. (You still have to rely on your MP skills in those situations.)

The only thing MP regenerating really brought to the table, is a practical means of allowing DoM to solo\duo - and allowing them to rest at certain intervals in larger parties much like mages could in FFXI. I really don't want to see them mess with this, as it was a long overdue feature the game needed.

If anything, higher ranked\tiered spells should just cost more MP later in the game.

The current MP regeneration is overkill, to the point where all the spells and abilities that give MP are pointless and useless. I mean, it's nice and all, but it's excessive. All it takes is a few seconds of being disengaged and bam you're ready to fight again. MP management went from a slight challenge to being completely unnecessary.

That's good and all, but honestly, they need to cut the crap with this casual MMO solo stuff... WHY would you pay a montly payment if your gonna solo everything, aside from talking with others

Believe it or not, most people don't play MMOs so they can be forced into groups. I don't know about you, but 80% of my PUGs in XI barely spoke with each other, if at all. Most of my fun and chatter came from my linkshell, as did most of my in-game friends.

Plus, without forced grouping, people who don't play regular hours can still solo some exp instead of having to deal with groups like the JP ONRY folks.

Like for behests, you are pretty much FORCED to party with people participating or you won't get the full sp and people don't complain about having to group as it's right in your face... and this is a completely different game than xi, so why not?

This describes my 7 years of ffxi. I also hated being forced into the whole party thing. Don't get me wrong this game should be the most rewarding for parties BUT should allow other options. I hated when i only had a few hours to play and knew there was no point in playing my favorite game.

People soloed even in FFXI, which was quite honestly a very solo-unfriendly game. People like having options. And just because you're soloing sometimes doesn't mean that you're ALWAYS going to solo in the game. Occasionally you're just not going to have time to form a party, or are just going to crap out on luck trying to find a party.. The best option then is to solo a bit while you wait for some friends to come online or for someone to invite you to their group.

But this game is for you to be able to rank up to 50 with solos... I always see people soloing doblyns, thank goodness they raised theyre difficulty a little
