Great Patch!

:P no way, apocalypse was way more awesome than 1.19, I mean was there ever a cooler weapon than that? XD

[Drust]

Maybe, hopefully better tomorrow or so. I mean I'm still playing even right now. I enjoy the game, and I hope that it's not so much of a ghost land soon. Sorry about some of the stuff I said, just frustrated lol

The solo vs party argument is as old as me, man. And I'm in my mid-20's.

The patch came out a few hours ago. Get creative. If you're honestly too impatient to try a few things out and, as I had already said, feel out the changes for a couple weeks, then I have to say you're being immature.

Either actually try or go play a game more compatible with your needs.

Have you even bothered to attempt low level soloing? If you have, you'll realize that what you are saying is asinine. It doesn't take a couple weeks to realize that battles take SIGNIFICANTLY longer now, mobs hit harder, and our characters have considerably less health. My level 8 lnc has 180 hp. 4 hits and I'm dead. There is no "get creative" for that. It's either a very poor oversight by SE, or a system that is so grindy and stupid that most of the low level players of this game will quit within a few weeks.

Then patch 1.20 and you can add point also your gear matter more so people should be getting gear at there level. The higher you go the more the gear matter.

I'm glad you asked before assuming! Actually, I just started a new character and yes, I am starting from low levels. You know what truly IS a grind? Soloing/Duoing sphene dobs from 48-50 pre-easymode. They simply adjusted it again. Also, did you fail to read the patchnotes? There's an entire new SECTION of GC leves for soloing exclusively. But because the patch JUST came out, no one is weighing that into the argument because, shockingly, they haven't tried yet. Oh my!

I remain steadfast. Give it a couple weeks before going crazy. If, after everything is tried, we all realize that soloing is gimped horribly, SE will make the necessary tweaks for you casual players out there who like to hoof it alone on an MMO instead of playing the soon-to-be-released Skyrim. My two cents.

No survivability

I lol'd. Haha! Like 1.19 was the apocalypse. :P

[Wolfie]

Two steps forward, one and a half steps backward for this game. Thanks FFXI 'hardcore' vets!

That's every major patch, isn't it?

You know what's even funnier? The fact you have to be level 25 to JOIN a GC. Nice try though. You keep remaining steadfast with your blinders on.

[Issac]

Two lines? That's all you've got for me? I don't mean to taunt, but...

The GC leves are a brand new thing. Let me also direct your attention to the fact that leves will now stack to 99 for those patient enough to build a buffer. Want to solo? Feel free to do a few L1 levequests! Sure the rewards aren't hot, but y'know it's just the first 8-12 levels. Or, you could fight things your level! Once you're rank 3-4 you can chain those L1-L2 mobs and even link them! Because we all know those low levels are always so hard to work around.

Don't you think it was a bit broken before the patch when you got to level 10 in less than 15 minutes? I certainly think so. Maybe we've gotten a little spoiled, have we? I don't mean to rub anyone the wrong way, but IMHO they fixed that broken heap of 5 rank ups from one leve. What say you?

Again. Give it a couple weeks. Use your brains. An MMO shouldn't be easymode, and hate to play this card, but that's why I don't play WoW.

Check, please.
