Great Patch!

[Issac]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

No, no you cannot.
Maybe you can link them (I have no idea how, I've tried to get enemies to link... nothing ever happens) but chaining them is impossible because you'll be higher level than them. It's just like FFXI's EXP chains. You MUST be equal level to or lower than your target to EXP chain.

Yep, go ahead and pick it apart. I am merely making suggestions. No one else seems to be trying.

An edit to your edit;
I was in a group of 3 L15's. What we didn't chain we link bonus'd. Over and over. It really wasn't that difficult. But that's a group of 3. I bet well-thought duo's could do it just as easily. And maybe once we find out the right gear and food and skills, one could solo that as well. Half the fun in MMO's is finding shit out and feeling that awesome accomplishment.

Maybe if any of your information was accurate I'd post more. As it stands, everything you've said has been complete misinformation. You can't join a GC until 25. You can't chain mobs below your level and even if you could, there is severe downtime between fights now because mobs hit so much harder, so you'd break the chain after like 1. You can try linking mobs, but again, because they hit so hard you will either die or have to full rest after each one.

Next time you try and "win" an argument, at least have some clue that what you are talking about is accurate information. =/

Yeah, sure... whatever guy. All I can say is if you're going to make suggestions, please make sure that the suggestions you are giving at least make sense.
The fact is you can't even go do what you're suggesting because it doesn't work!
