Behest...le sigh...

[Khalus]

They said behest and guildleves were more solo oriented now.

I'll greatly beg to differ on this, as I did try to solo a behest, and yeah I couldn't finish it, cause I can only cast cure/sacrifice all of about 3 times now before running dry of MP. Even using Bloodlust only returns like 200hp...and when you have 2-3 mobs beating on you, and they all land a crit and the very awkward AA that you have to keep clicking the mobs a second time to confirm and make AA start working again.

Tried this at Camp Horizon as a R25 GLD, nobody was there anymore...

Another annoyance ~ After you kill a mob and the AA deactivates, and you press up/down to cycles through your hotbar pages, you end up changing targets into friendly or party mod, and your cursor is now elsewhere. Thats another few secs of getting back to enemy mod and finding your target again, then click a second time to confirm you want to kill that somabitch...argh!




I'm really starting to consider taking Bioware up on their $150 SW:TOR CE and just do with XIV as I've done the past year, "log in for each patch to try the changes but ultimately log out a few hours later still severely unsatisfied!"

How could you have been a R25 GLD when your GLD rank is only 14?

[Khalus]

Because thats just a silly signature that hasn't been updated yet.

Fair enough.

[Softandsquishy]

I can understand implementing timers so that everyone gets a chance to do Behests, but now, there's not even enough people for a full group.

[Kensei]

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.

[Dacen]

Personally, and I'm sure others can attest, I'd just like to see Behest every 30 minutes again. At least this way, there's something to do more often between other things, because atm, still not enough content.

[Cichy]

They lowered SP so that people could enjoy progressing through content. There's only one thing they forgot to add and that's the content.

[LuxLex]

I thought killing marmots and watching my MP bar was content.

[Misha]

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!

So you're whining because you no longer get absurd huge chunks of sp by doin a 8 min behest? lol Work it out... that 3k in 8 mins works out to more than a 21k per sp average per hour, that's pretty damn nice. Go out and do other things besides behest, just don't expect easy sp anymore.
