Thread: What 1.0 Did Better...

This is not "Custom Me Elmo" game lol. It is an extremely well curated, focused, straight and narrow theme park MMO. It is not sandbox MMO, it is not flavored with Elderscroll, Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption!! It is Final Fantasy, and you are correct, "single player"ness is rather obvious in level 1-60, with some flavor of online components in the form of duty finder dungeons.

Again, when you are level 1-30, soloing everywhere, you can do whatever you want (except when you do dungeons), you have not unlock any jobs, you can cross class with all of the other classes abilities. Once you start hitting the dungeons, you better KNOW your roles, if you do not, other players will kindly let you know what you do wrong (or they just rudely say that you are a noob, git good and learn to play better).

A lot of newbie start getting their education in Hauke Manor at level 28, and Brayflox will put any snowflake ME ME ME dead on first boss encounter. Sunken Temple will re-educate those tunnel vision players who cannot pay attention in 5 minutes, the Bees love to say hi. Cutter's Cry will train newbies to really pay attention or you blow up, as well as healer check to see if you can actually use sprint button and run around in circles, and yes, last boss, learn to read message on the screen. All those normal primal battle, starting with Titan, will spank any newbies who cannot dodge... And Garuda kindly obliterates your party over and over till you LEARN the mechanic and Simon Says you must hide behind the rock yes? Stone Vigil assures you will wipe if your tank does not know how to pull safely. Dzaemel Darkhold teaches you to vote abandon when you find out your Paladin only complete level 30 jobs quest and completely blissfully unaware that there are more quests, plus the last boss is just peachy. Aurum Failmenow is the stuff of a legend with newbies lol - ironic how this is a rather good dungeon with tons of XP - but the majority of players hate this dungeons. Good thing SE making sure that you MUST do Sunken Temple, Dzaemel Darkhold and Aurum Vale (by the way, Primal Hard Mode says hello, no way you gonna reach 3.0 without dealing with Titan hard mode - learn to dodge yes?).

All these low levels dungeons actually quite challenging due to level cap and not having all your abilities, especially the middle level from 32 to 47. The game actually teaches you A LOT, assuming you have some abilities of reading? All the class quest every five levels kind of telling you your basic roles with some story. Plus tool tips explain what each abilities does. If you are too lazy to do your research, I am sure plenty of your FC members would love to share some tips on what you are suppose to do. You can also ask any of them do a run with you, and maybe explain things along the way.

Sadly, the endgame part of this game requires that you do know your role and have some training (this is what those endgame dungeon post 50 suppose to be, your training ground on what your role is). Trials also force you to play well with other and can follow direction. I don't need to deal with wipes after wipes on Thornmarch Hard just because the entire group has no idea what to do and randomly attacking everything and anything.

You want to know what these "snowflakes" does? Just read other thread complaining about Alexander normal raid mode. Which is piss poor easy if you read wiki on step by step and three minutes video showing you what is coming. So what's your damage Heather?
