Thread: 4.1 Patch Notes (Preliminary)

Then - when 'I only want me online' players say it's a great idea in an mmo - this hermit style of playing gets expanded.
This is an mmo - it's meant to be played with your fellow players - not some automated bunch of npc bots.

Save the fact DPS queues are terrible and you have to wait 30min+ for those dungeons anyway just to have people leave cause they hate those dungeons, this is why people run that braindead PotD over and over to level dps jobs.

But there are far better ways to handle this - see the post on dps queues for some good suggestions from the player base.

Like what? cause on there, all i saw was people wanting to give DPS more exp, and that doesn't work.

Everything about this complaint was made redundant ages ago when they added unsynced mode for old content. Anyone can run those dungeons unsynced already. We're losing nothing, it's just reusing old roulette fodder content that almost nobody voluntarily plays after their first few weeks of the game anyway. I haven't set foot in the DF queue for Brayflox in years. I probably never will again; if a friend needs it we'll queue with my FC.

I agree that soloing all current content would be a massive waste but giving people more to do outside of prime time or the current popular activities is a good thing for the game. I sometimes log on, queue for Frontline and wait around doing nothing until bedtime (it almost never pops at night). I'm not going to queue Brayflox with three strangers in that time anyway because there is no reason to do so, so I may as well have some interesting stuff to mess around with next to my squad of attractive NPC Elezen women if I feel like leaving the queue.
