Great Patch!

[Denmo]

I had started a new character for the sake of this patch, and because I wanted a reason to play.

The blow to my exp struck me in the gut at first.

But after I got used to it, and realized the basics of chains/level difference, it started to make sense, and it started being fun.

And then I went crafting, and WOAH. I could make all the gear I needed for my GLA rank 13, even though most of my crafts were under level 10!

And then I road the airship and WOAH LOOK AT THE VIEW FROM ULDAH.

And then I road a chocobo and WOAH, THIS IS FUN!


I like this patch. Suddenly the game is more challenging in an endearing way.

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.

If you're experiencing downtime then you're not balancing your resources correctly. For f's sake, the patch just released. Chill out and give it a couple of weeks to feel out. SE busted their damn asses away from their families in times of crisis to push this out nice and timely. Have some more appreciation or go back to some other MMO.

I can confidently say that everything about this patch is making me shit my pants. Cheers, SE. And a hearty thanks to all the hard-working devs, your dedication is appreciated to a degree that I cannot even express.

Yeah found out why they are ghost towns, just ppl 10 lvls over the mob running through linking tons of guys at once and killing them all. pretty dumb, but found a fast way to lvl, fight guys 10-15 levels below you while linking 4 of them! so much fun!

or get a friend who 50 and kill them for you and you get yourself 50 within few week less then before and you still be soloing. I mean don't ppl want to get 50 fast and do all the stuff there you go.

No guy who can't read, I said I want to be able to solo stuff without waiting for 30 seconds after every fight, and not see guys 10 levels above me in whatever area I'm in linking the crap out of everything and leaving me nothing to fight. Glad you like it

[Drust]

Oh and you only have to run the same dungeon over and over, because they released an alpha product and didn't give us a decent number of end game.

10x more mobs? every area I have walked through so far looks like it did when the game was first released with it being a big ghost zone.

o.o are you joking dude? i'm partying right now and there 20+ dodo within one area and then right next to it there 15+ puks. You hit 1 dodo they link more you kill them quick get EXP for each and they repop by the time you even kill the next set. Sure the EXP is cheap but still trying to find a good camp once that happen i bet we can pull over 200+EXP with 3-5links that add that up how much EXP you get for killing 5 mobs around the same time vs before? walking around for hours at end trying to find a raptor.

"If there's no time sinks you get bored" No, if there's no FUN CONTENT you get bored. You're one of those FFXI losers who think that that game's way of doing things is how it should be done. As Drust has said, I do not want an FFXI clone. FFXI was a badly designed MMO, period. You must have some kind of Stockholm Syndrome for shitty game mechanics or something. Grinding monsters endlessly is not fun. Nor is it fun being forced to party.
