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

[SirDiscoFrog]

So any chance this means we will be able to enter these low level dungeons with our chocobos? Would be nice if it becomes a good way to level them. Mines at level 17 and needs 3.1 million XP to level up. Would be nice to take them in dungeons and get like 100k per run like players do.

This would be awesome to see. It would be a faster way to level our chocobos while potentially leveling ourselves(like 2 players, 2 chocobos). Could even open the idea to having 4 players + 4 chocobos enter in a dungeon....that might be a tad over board but it sounds cool lol

Either way allowing chocobos to enter in dungeons with us will make them seem more appealing as they will be able to fill for players you cant find. Whether or not you'll successfully be able to finish the dungeon is up in the air, but it will help out if you have a friend you want to do a dungeon with and you need 1 or 2 more people to go with you to help out.

If you carefully translate what they said, they mention "limited to dungeons" not just "in dungeons"

[EinherjarLucian]

by removing that you pretty much remove 90% of what made it tedious

Making relics less tedious is something that should have been done long ago.

Are you atleast going to unlink groups of enemies if we are to go in solo? they still hit hard, or will the strength of them be reduce too?

If you can't do it solo, try it with 1 or 2 more players.
Sastasha, as an example, will still be balanced around lv17-19 light party and Sastasha (hard) around lv 50 / ilevel 80 light party.
The devs are allowing us to enter them overleveled, not nerfing the dungeons for players at the right level.

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.
