Shocked at the reduction in mage damage, quadruple mp cost, and lowered resources

[kukurumei]

I like the shift to party play (though some of the changes definitely hurt solo leveling alot...). One thing I don't like is the lack of nothing to do while waiting for auto-attack to generate TP

I don't know what you're talking about...

They left in light stab/thrust/slash/ and heavy skills from points. Then you have all these skills, it's a WoW spam a thon.

Stuff still dying left and right. Animation >skills available. Need more balance on those timers.

I'm hoping 1.19 they tone it down, and isolate more skills to classes. It's still a zerg a thon

System is good so far though. a lot more fluid then the old system.

I find MP costs fine. They lost all aspect of mana conservation and resting/swapping, and went into mana burn.

Now people are asking why they can't mana burn anymore.

Did it really seem like I wanted something easy to do? There's nothing about what I said I enjoyed that was easy. It was hard. What I don't like is having white mage shoved down my throat. There's too much emphasis on healing caused by this raise of mp costs. I want to be something like a BLM/WHM. Now I'm more like a WHM/RDM. I didn't sign up for that.

So, I tried and died quite a few times trying to solo Pyrausta as a Marauder (because it's my highest class)

I figured hey, I'll try to get to level 30, get Feint (since I had low DEX at the time), stock up on some potions and ethers, maybe then I'll have a chance.

I never managed to actually reach my level goal due to lack of interest with the game. I figured hey, maybe I'll get hooked again after the combat change and maybe then I'll succeed in my goal.

Patch hits, I read the patch notes.. yeah.

No chance, ever, of being able to kill that NM alone anymore. Might not even be able to duo it either, but what do I know? I'm just a lone wolf who has no friends because they all think FFXIV sucks, and their systems can't even run it regardless. Great day to try and keep playing a game I want to love, but never can.

I feel you man. Out of all of my gamer friends, only 1 had a PC capable of running this game. He bought it, then lol'd at it and he isn't coming back.

love the changes mages were lame w/o any strategy I just spam skills cus mp was soo over-abundant ty Yoshi for the MUCH NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS!

[VydarrTyr]

yeah I agree I'm not in it to work. If I'm going to work I damn well am gonna be paid for my time. It's a good thing Dark Souls is coming out in a few months.

/spit take

Well, thank goodness Dark Souls won't be difficult.
