Thread: 1.18 Bittersweet.

did you guys try it out solo before posting in here? I'm solo/duo player myself but I'm not going to complain till I tried it out first so just wanted to see if the opinions in here are from trying the game after the patch out.

If it's really that bad... hope wife don't get disappointed lol.

I have tried it out, I'm seriously disappointed. You CAN solo things, but only one at a time and only if you're willing to sit around for 2 or 3 minutes between fights doing nothing.

I'm sorry but if I want to play a game that forces me to group just to kill things I'll go back to XI. At least that game has content worth grouping for.

I'm done with XIV, not going back to XI, and going to be a lot more critical of games I invest time into in the future.

This is exactly what it looked like it was going to be for me. All my friends quit XIV because it was so boring, so when I did on the rare rare time log on, it was nice to be able to at least solo a little bit.

The way they have ruined mages is pretty much it for me. I had high hopes for this patch and I am dissapoint.

Am i missing something my Pug 24 is soloing 30-33 easily? Also who's forcing you leves give good xp and if you want to be anti-social and not group play at all maybe you should quit.

I am a solo player. I only play Mrd so I cannot comment on the situation with mages. For DDs there are pros and con to this patch. I performed 6 regional battle quests at Bold Knoll and Iron Lake. As a lvl 45 I received more SP then I did prior to the patch, Problem is now I am limited to only 6 quests unless I am willing to go to another area for the other 2. Until there are alternate forms of transportation available I am not. I have already burned too much Anima just doing those and the initial company quest. SO now things are even.
After getting comfortable with Auto-Target I found it more efficient then the previous system. Acc have become more realistic.
