[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

[Chezen]

The other thing that I'm taking from this translation is that it seems the game will be more focused on the destination, and not the journey itself. This is just my interpretation of course, and is yet another thing I disagree with.

This is my concern from Yoshi's post. I have been looking forward to an in depth game. If the focus is shifting to end game... I find that dissapointing. (This is just an observation, not an outcry of the game falling down.)

So pretty much you allowing us to PL -.- so pretty much everyone would reach max level. So at the end it be a solo fest with everyone just getting PL. So at the end there no point in making party and making a camp and fighting mobs when you can get 1-max with a PL? is this what i'm hearing or i'm reading this wrong?

What about some of us who think level up is the main point of the game? and getting max level is not fun? but then again if there a way for everyone else to get max level you have to do it too or you miss out on endgame events with friend you like doing that? i guess you can't make everyone happy so at the end it you helping out Casual you could have take little more time to come up with a better idea but then again even tho you play a hardcore game and such this world now is casual.

I guess i can deal with the PL and get my gf to pl me to her level then we party together but then it would feel to slow so it better of just pl ourself to max level then really playing together in a party this is how i see the pl issue what the point in playing together in a party when you can just pl each other to max level then play together. I find level up with your friend the best way for a player to learn how to play the game.

Why not just make level sync? so i can play with all my friend in the same party? without making everyone PL each other? Seeing how this is not FFXI where you have to level up each skill like healing, your hand to hand skill and what not this wont make anyone gimp and still allow us to play together and fight together and learn together then just pl? The point is by doing this everyone going to do the quickest way because everyone else is doing it. But if you add level sync then a level 50 can help out a level 1 level up and in a way it's like pl but in a party together i can enjoy that more with friend then they just outside the party killing everything for me

If i read this wrong then please someone tell me what he mean.

If Power leveling stops or makes grind parties not happen.. I'd be very pissed. Finally we are actually having parties do stuff together as a team.. This PL bullcrap will hurt the game, I can see it now >.> I just hope I'm proved wrong

Wow am I the only one who thinks helping other players in trouble will be a lot more fun with this system than XI's help command that basically meant throwing away the XP reward altogether.

So everyone getting to r50 as fast as they can without the knoweledge of how to do their job is rewarding?

I have to disagree. All the work that I've put into the classes I have now could have been avoided by waiting to PL because somebody wants to use up (waste) their time PL me? No no no. Ranking up is EASY enough as it is right now, and PL would make things ridiculously, stupid easy.

Uh, I do see your point. While I have nothing against PLs I just don't hope that becomes the default way to level.

no your not the only one. as always people are thinking EVERYONE is gonna PL and kill parties when in fact they are crazy. when my friends start (when ps3 comes out) i will have all DOW at cap and ill be helping them out for a while. but people are crazy if they think ill be PL ANYBODY from level 1-40ish. (can not PL if the mobs can beat you). ill get my friends a couple of lvls then im going to do my thing. i did not come on to PL someone.

Its just funny that people think this will have any effect at all. I can not find a party outside my LS for anything right now. After 1.19 it will still be the same. and its not cause of a PL.

In the end its a personal choice as he said, play the game and grind it out or be that guy and get plvled to 50 it's your choice, if majority of the community wants to be that guy and get a ride to 50 then blame the community not the mechanics, because there should be options to help your friends as it does tighten the bonds of community..
