MP Regen - A Bit Too Much?

[Krisan]

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

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

I think you're missing the point.
Soloing will always take longer than grouping, usually a lot longer. But eliminating the option for people to solo altogether causes a lot of problems, and honestly fixes none. People will group when given the option usually, so I'm not sure why you care anyway.

I think mp regen is fine just as it is. It allow disciples of war to get mp back and not worry about choosing our mp costing WS or saving it for a possible cure fights later to lessen downtime. but don't get me wrong their needs to be a balance cause it does seem very easy mode for mages now...

They still can run out of MP with chain pulling mobs in a grind group.

Which is not a bad thing, at a certain point. You should not be able to have nearly infinite MP. As I said, I'm all for some form of MP regen. It just seems that what we've got now is a bit too much.

Meh, to some point its much, but with future updates they could make it so it is needed for a new influx of mobs.

I agree with the OP. Initially i was impressed by this change but after trying it out for a bit, i think its obvious how fast this mp regen is. To shift from no regen to a pretty fast mp regen does feel like too much. Perhaps needs to be slowed down a bit, atm, it feels like it's killing the challenge in the game, esp for mages who will be overpowered with this. As a mage with siphon mp, etc, there is no real issue preserving mp if you dont manaburn. no need for overkill. MP should be bit of a luxury, not meant to be gained easily.

What you need is a balance. You need content for casual and hard core. There are times when you need some quick little things to do. But at the same time, you need a whole lot that you could never dream to solo as well. XIV needs more monsters dedicated to groups which hit about as hard as something solable, but have 10x the HP and give much better xp rewards. That and some leves and quests which just can't be soloed. The GL difficulties just don't really allow you to accurately set it. There's some things that can be soloed at 5Star no problem, and other things that can't be done at 1 star with a full group. I'm looking at you evil Miqo'te poachers around Camp Humblehearth...

I agree with you but I think people here might liken this to when a teacher forgets its the test day and that one kid tells him "aren't we supposed to have a test" and everyone's like "you arse" lol.
