I actually got to experiance old style xp camp once in this game

[Dimitrias]

One time I did AV the first big room and I was the tank. Our ranged dps said to just stay right there at the entrence while he pulled the mobs back to us. It went really smooth, no links, I was able to get hate back just fine, and he pulled like one set of mobs at a time.

That was the only place I ever got to experience the camp-pull back In this game.

Only reason it really worked in there is because mobs will actually chase you through the entire dungeon, but out in the open world mobs wont chase you more than 2 feet.

Why wont they make it possible to do that in the open world again?

I really enjoyed that experience in AV.

While i'd love the nostalgia, i would hate being chased by 2 random mobs through an entire area again.

Chugga chugga chugga chugga chooo choooooo!

Eh, no thanks. I'd prefer to avoid the mob trains. Not a fan of them before in older mmo's, don't see me suddenly changing my mind on it now.

TRAIN TO ZONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

damn BST!

That's some mighty nostalgia there. Yeah, that sounded awesome, actually. I mean, I've experienced the tenacity of Vale mobs first hand (unwantedly, mind...) but never thought to make a camp in a dungeon. And it sounds like it was fun, too. We need more fun in this game, genuine fun.

Would nostalgia with you again, 10/10.

I miss it tbh, but I would like the option of alternates as we have now. XP grinding build relationships between the community, some of my fondest memories in MMOs is from those grind groups. Maybe if they fixed chain XP and increased overall mob exp, it would be worth it.

Even death you lose exp and if you lose all EXP you lose a level and bye bye level gear :P

Bah! It's what made those zones in FFXI so great. Funny as hell watching them go by and trampling everything in their way.

The major reason there was a dedicated "puller" in XI but doesn't need to be in XIV is because tanks actually have a ranged attack besides pebbles and Dia (WAR's Tamahawk was a merited ability at 75 iirc.)

That said, pulling was one of my favorite activities in XI. I pulled on THF. I pulled on BRD. I pulled in exp camps, I pulled in Dynamis, I pulled open world bosses. I live pulled, I sac pulled. If it moved, I pulled it. I loved the satisfying feeling of a well aimed snipe - something that we unfortunately can't get in parties in XIV since everything and its uncle links.
