Forced stops in new 4 man dungeons

[kukurumei]

Instead of saying "speed run" it's more proper to say

People are whining they can't go sub-15minute runs anymore...which is really...sad

SR used to mean streamlined which is usually sub-30minute dungeon. Now SR means mob trains, to get below 15minutes.

All the dungeons are speed run able. Just not train.

Blame the masses for changing the definition of "Speed Run"

If you care about the stops then you must just want to finish dungeons quickly, if that is the case you are probably just wanting to farm tomes. Farming tomes is now quickest by doing hunts, I capped myth (2,000) twice in one sitting while just going to locations the hunting linkshell I'm in called out. Not only will you cap myth and sol super fast but you will get allied seals for sands and oil.

Whoa, whoa, you mean I have to do more in the new dungeons than just kite and fight?!

I'm disturbed at how turned on that makes me. . .

You can still SR Bray quite effectively it seems to me...and you get more myth to boot since it's 60. Now that you get 100 myth from new content, you expect to be able to SR as easily as a lower level dungeon (vis a vis Bray)? Is that correct?

You do have a choice. You can still do big pulls and run faster...but you won't get 9 min clears. Frankly, the fact that you get twice the myth you got from Bray stands to reason that even a SR of the new content should take longer...hense these would-be roadblocks.

If its super-fast soldiery you are after...30 down from 45 is not a big hit. I for one welcome the change of pace though I'm sure it won't last long.

Seems everyone here fails to see the reason for the change. It's not about player complaints. It's about the dev's design. Just as gold spammers can quickly ruin the game economy so can players collecting items at a greater pace than intended. That is what speed runs do.

[Shyluv]

Yeah. I can't believe they're making me play the game while I play the game. That's just crazy and lame.

It's a welcome change. Now I don't risk getting kicked if I don't feel good (which is more often than not) and don't feel like speed running, if my friends are too busy with other stuff to do roulettes with me.

I think the fact trash mobs hit likes trucks, at least it seemed like to me in SV and HI, is more prohibitive to speed runs than the invisible walls. A normal group of trash puts out a lot more single target dps than any of the bosses.

You're free to try pulling a huge pack, but unless the group is ilvl 100+ you're probably gonna be face down in the dirt pulling anything more than 2 groups awfully fast.

Two seconds? You're acting like they have a forced cutscene. Its part of the fight, so it is the boss.

[Audacity]

You can Clear Tam Tara pretty fast with good players so hope is not lost for people who like to speed run. I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to clear content as efficiently as possible. Just as you have the option to not speed run, we should also be allowed to do our thing.
