Do you think SE will overlook?

[Keftenk]

When 1.19 comes out and they allow any number of players to attack any given monster, do you think they will overlook the ridiculous party invite restriction we have in the game right now? I mean, what's the point of not allowing us to invite during battle after these changes?

What's the point of grouping in general with these changes...? Taking the uniqueness of party claim away from parties obviates the need for parties..

AoE buff, Curaga etc.

Wait, they're taking away monster claim?

[Xatsh]

Sorta. They are removing claiming but only the first group that hits it gets drops and XP.

So anyone else hitting besides the first group gets absolutely nothing.

Sounds like a prime way to encourage griefing. What the hell is SE thinking?

That is the million dollar question, atm the negatives I see far far out weigh the positive. Yoshida needs to explain why he done this, because atm I have yet to see 1 person think this is a good thing.

They should of just copied XI's system.

They had event everyone could fight in (campaign, besiged) and alliance of multiple partys..

This whole no claim system is just pure stupid. I will lead to people griefing.. it is a mmo endgame shells will not help each other they will kill each other. MMO 101 there.

they said that any other way for it to work with the new larger group content is to do it this way... or make 2 different systems for each ...and they don't want to make 2 systems. my guess is they make one and if they ever get this game off the floor they make another system if worth it to them.

i dunno really, i don't know jack bout what they do but that is what it sounds like to me. best solution for them. but i do see it being problematic in game. even the thought of all instance is problematic in it's own ways. the game is being molded around a cracked foundation if you ask me.

1 tank party, and a bunch of solo players ftw.
