EXP Parties since patch, ftl.

[Answa]

SE just changed the game so you have to type /big bob loves you allot when you read to him. before EVERY ability. This can not be macroed.

So what you are saying is, we should put up with pointless, useless and terrible concepts/gameplay, because of what reason?

I'm one of the people quitting.
I'll complain to SE all I want.
When they can put enough effort into game design, that would surpass my own ability, THEN I will stop complaining.

I... what? I can't even... How does this make any sort of sense?

I think this is the kind of incoherence you get when someone is really, really, really frustrated.

While I will aggree exp gain per hour has slowed, it is not as bad as some in this thread are saying. The problem with the party search feature is that most humans are sheep and unless someone sends them a /tell asking them to join a party they will just sit in down complaining they can't find a PT. I have never built PTs faster. On top of that it has never been easier to get replacments in the field without skipping a beat. And back to original point yes exp is a LITTLE slower but, I went 38-50 yesterday just hitting Cure, Stoneskin, Cure, Stonskin, Hot Pocket, Cure so its not that different.

I noticed in XI that I would either have to A. Put my flag up for hours on end to get an invite or B. Build my own party, I was usually doing B. Which I hated due to I hated playing leader role cause if someone had to bounce, I always had to find a replacement...I'll just stick to duoing if party leveling is slow anyways.

You have just proved my point, thankyou.

Come on guys. His point is easy to understand. He was illustrating that it's foolish to try to get used to changes when the changes themselves are flawed and senseless. He made a example of a ridiculous change and challenged you as to whether or not you believed it was okay to put up with it. His argument is based on the point that the changes to battle and classes are bad. I don't entirely agree with him that the changes are that bad, and it was an extreme example, but it was far from nonsensical...

[LillithaFenimore]

oh, the irony of it all.. I think I read about as much of his post as you read mine. You could follow your own advice, but that's probably asking too much.

LAWL. I did read it . I read the guys entire response :P Silly Lala :P

I have also played doing a leve, hence why I agree with the guy's statement in regards to crowd control. I died a few times while duoing with my husband because the only crowd control I have access to is attached to elemental attacks at the moment. I don't want to do damage to a mob I am not attacking or being attacked by. I would like to enfeeble them so maybe my chance of surviving are better instead of having to cure bomb myself and hope my husbands second wind and blood bath are ready for him to use. THM has had some of it's healing spells removed and replaced by other means of healing, so he now has to level a job he hates in the first place in order to have cure to help me out during our leves. Just frustrating. And since no one knows if the jobs system will have all these missing spells...makes me even more frustrated...if I knew...I'd most likely shut up.

I think he meant that Claire's english was so broken it was difficult to parse, or impossible.
I admit, not being a native english speaker her words are... Certainly difficult to almost impossible to discern the meaning of.

[Thanos]

Yeah lets make things like and make tanks and other melee be useless while low level cause they can't get aggro of all the mobs. Learn the game you bad, learn the screwed up with this patch

I just read this... 6-7 times... what the ef are you trying to say?

For those complaining about AoE, remember Warrior in 1.21 will get another AoE WS. This means MRD will have 2 AoE WS's. And why the hate on the 3k TP cost of whirlwind? I'm not a MRD so I can't test it but I know the 2nd ability in a combo doesn't use TP, nor does it require you to have the needed amount. I was guildleve leveling my ARC today and found I could complete my combo with only 1k TP instead of the needed 1.5k. Tried it again and I was able to complete the combo with 0 TP. Is it different for Whirlwind or is it a possible glitch I was getting (or have people not even bothered to try?)?

In general combo costs are determined by positioning for non ARC DoWs. Havent tried my MRD since patch but in order to use whirlwind for free you must first use Path of Storms. What is unclear to me is if path of storms needs to be executed from behind the target in order to receive free whirlwind.
