Powerleveling Revisited

[Mirh]

this is fine, and i think the should add a few more strong monsters, like dragons etc that give enhanced exp, but i would still group them with some other weaker monsters that they can link to. This way you get the best of both worlds. and take advantage of the jobs different strengths. Right now although i enjoy multiple monster fights, it would be cool if there was also some times when you have like one powerful enemy and a couple supporting enemies, and get exp that was similar in balance to mass murdering.

I can imagine a dragon with imps that will support it. Then you have your main one on one battle, and possibly a couple side battles, or special tactics like sleep or silence to make those battles doable. all while getting good link bonuses and continuing exp chains.

Aoe is a part of the game, but it should not be the only aspect.

@Physic, once again, amazing ideas. It's funny because the idea is already there, just not the implication (You know, as there's a "leader" mob that calls for help. they're just all incredibly weak!)

Perhaps when they sort out the tanking class in this game an idea like that would be viable.

The only problem with his idea is that mob groups are on the way out; they'll be gone by the time 2.0 is here. The link system replaces it.

You mean the way mobs are linking right now?* Hmm, then it sounds like they're already moving away from AOE groups. I suppose I should back off a bit and read as much written text about 2.0 as there is out there.

*(I've probably misinterpreted this a bit since I don't know the exact terminology for the 1.19~ mob behaviors. I'm not sure if it's a "leader" system or an intended link system already.)

Still, a year away, nothing is reasonably out of the question if something actually could inspire Yoshida enough to like it.

I would agree with OP, but you need abilities in this game, not just one class, so in the long term, Fast leveling is needed so you can level multiple classes.

[i]I don't like being forced into that situation. And the fact that I am having a hard time carrying out legitimate parties without this being insisted upon is very, very troubling to me. Is it fair for me to be forced to solo if I don't want this? Is it fair for me to be strongly influenced to leave a game I otherwise enjoy?.[/b]

then leave so in the future no more retarded threads will be posted. the more pre-abbysea ffxi retards leave, the better Yoshi-p will design the game based on *competing other mmo,s* then filling the minority,s non-existant needs.

Was leveling someone 21-24 this morning, we passed 6 regular non Power-leveled groups on Selbina fighting Mitelings and at multiple cactuar camps.

Keep telling me how "power leveling has killed regular EXP groups", because I don't buy it one bit. EXP grouping has never been better off in this game, power leveling hasn't hurt it and the changes which benefit both power leveling and EXP groups are a huge boost to getting leveling in this game on the right track.

As for it being too fast, don't hold your breath for them to slow down 1-50 anytime soon. No matter the speed they set it at a large percentage of the population will have all battle classes to 50 by the time PS3 hits, and those PS3 players are going to want to catch up. The best hope you have for a steeper leveling curve is after a cap raise.

Are you fucking kidding me? Like, really. is this a fucking joke post?

This is a loud and beaming example of why this is unacceptable: Why do people like this get catered to religiously when the supposedly non-existent minority that conflicts with them would pay more money out of their own pocket for a certain experience than this guy's mother can afford for him?

Christ.

Welcome to the tinterwebs.

I'm quite accustomed to the interwebs, I just have never seen such STAGGERING levels of greed and blind selfishness in anything. It's not just that person, by any means.

So far everything is 90% "SCREW WHAT YOU WANT GIVE ME THE EASY!!!!!!! NOTHING ELSE WORKS!" and 10% "Well, I really could use a game experience."

And that 10% just get thrashed. Even WoW's idiotic community could show less childish bias.


It's like, people are afraid. Powerleveling would always exist, but people are like, life-dependent on it being the norm.
