From Reddit: NO level sync when entering a dungeon with less that required players!

I'm curious how many new dungeons are there gonna be in total.

The ones they showed in the video and then 3 new lv60 dungeons with every main patch

There will be no S O L O. A 'Party Leader" means just that. You will not be soloing titan ex etc etc. If they allowed solo, the 'MMO' goes *poof* and all you have left is a sword shooter. How they have progressed with this game so far has been great, and the expansion will offer even more consider the shambles this game was in 1.0

However, like any game they can still 'SCREW UP' to the point where the game becomes unrecoverable from a player base standpoint. I would assume that lower party members means 2-3 out of 4 or 4+ out of 8 etc. If they allowed solo content (Dungeons) at this stage and it offered experience points for new jobs etc while it might seem awesome cause you could spam the first room over and over you would be left with an empty shell of Astro, DRK and Mach Zombies running around.. not to mention a 'Zombie state of an MMO'

Non-synched = overleveled (if you can do it solo) = no exp from the enemies
It will be only for the loot

Roulette and normal PUG DF will remain to be 100% level-synched

If they were carte blanche about it, yes, but they seem to be only opening it for certain older dungeons. It's not like there won't be plenty of dungeons that require full groups, or would be impossible to solo given the mechanics anyway.

for those on quieter server times, and dps who spend so much time waiting on queues, this could be a shot in the arm. Time will tell.

Wait.

So this is ONLY FOR PREMADES, right?

God, please.

Please let this be ONLY FOR PREMADES.

Because dungeons have always been fun to me and now you're taking away that difficulty? I just can't agree with that.

Yes it is exclusively for pre-made parties.

While I personally don't like it either, only time will tell how many people will decide to use it or not. I for one still plan on taking advantage of low level roulette for rewards (in which the gil rewards will probably have increased at level 60) because I like to help newcomers who won't be able to over-level them and still get exp.

I'm fairly optimistic that it'll balance it out, there's no need to worry about it.

"difficulty" honestly, solo without level sync will be more challenging than some of these dungeons are in a party.

They never said they were removing experience from the dungeons. =)

You would not get roulette reward, because premade parties can't start low level roullete (or how lv17-59 levelup dungeon roulette will be called again). What remains is the exp from the enemies. And look how much exp from a lv 17 enemy you get with lv 50 ^^

It will be more for farming gear for glamour or GC seals. Everyone who want exp will still do roulette.
