Behest...le sigh...

[Khalus]

What gives, damnit!!! Anyway, I was just running by Camp Horizon on the way to the docks for my first Ul'dah Mission, and saw the battlewarden up. Thought why not and joined.

So yeah seriously WTF SE, I mean I've been enjoying most the update thus far, but this is just ridiculous. I was only getting 100sp per mob, and at the end got an additional 810sp, {less than 3000sp} and we beat it in 8min. {I understand the less gil part, so whatever about that...} Prior to 1.18 I was getting 450sp a kill, over 8k for the entire event.

And then to top this all off, the timer for Behest is back at 1hr...that is just dumb considering it was reduced to 30min not too long ago so we had something more often to do with random players.


I can see where you're going with this and trying to enforce PTs ever more and be more like XI, which I've been pressing for but there are still no easy ways to find players and form a PT. I've tried to use the new seek option and thus far it keeps coming up blank no matter what options I choose, nor does anyone else respond when I think I've activated seek. Shouting in the cities is not only annoying, but disruptive to other players but that seems the only way to find a PT...

Please give us /sea all from FFXI...it works, its awesome, its the best way to form a PT in any MMO I've played!

Yeah. I am so glad they made leveling slower in this game, cause it was just unbearable before, now it will be excruciating. Way to raise the bar!

[Khalus]

Its much slower now without the fatigue than it was with it... I mean geez even when I had fatigue I got more SP than that per kill, blah!

This is so true. That alone lets you see how much they nerfed SP.

I think the logic here was to prevent the same eight low-latency players from getting the behest every time in congested areas (which is an issue at Horizon). A better solution would have been make Behest every 15 minutes and add a 25 minute cool down. This would have preserved the speed of behest while still preventing the same players from monopolizing the behest.

I can't disagree with you though that the 1hr cool down combined with the junky SP was pretty rude. When I ran out of leves (which gave "meh" exp to begin with) I always used to be able to say "Well at least I can level off behests now..." ; ;

Hint: Try behests somewhere noone else does it.
The patch notes say you'll get bonus SP for that.

More people in Gridania yay.

I can understand the one hour cool down, but the exp they give now isnt worth the 1 hour wait. I can also understand doing it in different areas for better exp, but that will really only help if people spread out an use the other cities. Or you go to each one with a set party.

I was hoping the removal of fatigue would mean i could level at the same rate i was pre patch for as long as i wanted, but it seems like the removal was more like giving every one perma fatigue.

No, actually it only works if nobody uses those Behests.
