Thread: 1.0

read a post today that said during 1.0 outside the starting cities there were lv 40 monsters. i wish we had these now. it would have made starting the game more fun. it would make you go as groups or ask for help from higher lv players. please bring this back SE

One or two to up the tension... maybe.

So many that people have to beg the massive group of high level players loitering around the starting area (big demographic that) for help, no.

Why would making the starter/tutorial zones that painful and difficult be fun?

Actually, there are level 20-40 enemies in the first zones you enter outside of towns. And hunts can spawn near main paths.

So what you are asking for is there, it's just forgivably out of the way unless you want to go exploring.

There indeed were but if I recall correctly, SE removed them at some point. The only thing I saw them good for was death/blood porting.

Go do quests in the Sylphlands while underleveled and come back to say how fun it is.

I was just about to say the same thing. Notable mentions are level 30 class quests that send you into aggroville. Would love to see someone blast through one of these, especially the melee classes. And trying to complete class challenge log at an early level instead of plowing through them @ level 60.

I dunno if having to ask for groups every single time you want to walk from camp A to camp B is really any fun.

Considering most people find it more enjoyable to just use the Duty Finder than stand in Limsa and ask for people to do Sastasha with them...

Certainly wouldn't be for me. Part of what put me off FFXI as a whole is how it forced parties onto you at early levels because you could barely go anywhere without getting killed by trash mobs.
