Great Patch!

[Drust]

Pros
Cheaper Repair
Chocobo
Airship
Exp Chains ?

Cons
Downtime
Slow Healing
No survivability
SLOW LEVELING

So basically if we aren't partying leveling will now take 2-3x as long? you do about 1/4th the damage you used to do, have half the health, can barely take on a monster that is 2-3 ranks above you, and the exp isn't increased for monsters your own level. But let's not forget the exp chain! Which you can't use since fighting just one guy your level will leave you with half health or less. This patch is garbage, who (prolly nobody) tested this patch before they released it? was this to force you to be in parties?

All your con are a + side should have been like this from start maybe people would have less 50 class.

How is that a + side? If I wanted a ffxi clone where I have to time sink it all day seeking for parties and resting for 30 seconds after every battle I'd go back to that game.\

One again if there no Time sink then everyone would be bored and have everything -.- or you just don't get this? it's not a FFXI-clone and it's not Wow-clone.

Party i get one within 10mins so i don't see the issue now it about killing quick you still get a lot of EXP if you kill very fast it's all about AOE and fast kills and there shit load of mobs everywhere now and fast repop so if you level up slow would be soloing + 1.19A would fix some of the issue you may be having..

If you don't like it then easy there the door not being rude but really they most be a dam time sink in a game or everyone be bored.

I'll take challenging, engaging, and inspired content over killing millions of generic mobs to level up any day. Everything in an MMO is a grind, but it doesn't have to feel like a grind. FFXIV feels like a grind.

No they are not a plus and you're a fricking idiot for thinking it is.

W/e talking to you type people is pontless you think that a game should be fast and easy to get max level -.- if i get eveything 50 i would be bored like hell and all i can do is spam the same dam dungeon over and over and over and over omg how fun is that -.-

[Drust]

Lol I guess you are just retarded, but some people don't like to party, or they only play with friends who aren't on all the time. And the whole retarded "if there's no time sink you get bored" crap, if there's a 2 hours a level because I'm waiting for 30 seconds between each fight time sink i'm gonna get bored pretty damn fast, don't know about you I guess you like sitting there doing nothing half the time.

I understand that but doing dungeon over and over is dumb when you have everything what else are you going to do if you have everything 50?

@Blarp once everyone found out the best camp it going to be 100x faster then before there 10x more mobs per spot then before you get more exp if you kill them faster so i don't see this slow. make a party only take a short time i make one every day and only take me 10-15min of my life maybe if your on a low server i understand you but over here in selbina i don't see any issue.

I didn't say anything about time. I said it feels like a big giant grind, and it does. In XI, I was fine with killing crabs for hours because I was in awe of the fact that I was playing an MMORPG. Things have changed. I no longer have the patience to sit there and kill the same mobs for hours on end. When I log on, I want to do something exciting and well designed. I want to be a part of something ongoing. Grinding mobs does not fit that criteria for me. Even when leveling up, I want things to be exciting. I want to embark on epic quests to help save the land and the inhabitants. I want the story of the world to unfold as I become more powerful. None of this happens in this game. You sit in a spot and kill the mob that gives the best experience for the effort.

It's not exciting. It's not ongoing. It's not epic. It's boring and it feels like a grind. Doing a bunch of quests may be a grind, but at least some of those quests will unfold a story.
