Feedback: NPC dungeon party for the 60’s, PLEASE!

[Omedon]

Since I’ve seen it said here that the devs read the forums for feedback, this is perhaps my most prevalent thought from a “leveling jobs from scratch” perspective:

Please, please, for the love of all that’s decent, enable either trusts or command missions as a leveling option in the 60’s, one as viable as they are in literally every other level bracket they collectively cover.

Yes I know there are other mega-efficient paths through the 60’s, but there are other paths from 20-60 and 70 and beyond as well, and yet none of them scratch the same itch as “dungeons with NPCs,” something FFXIV has brought to the table with greatly enjoyable results for those who love it… like me!

You have two such systems bracketing the 60’s. Please choose one and extend it into the 60’s.

Loving this game, loving my squadron and my trusts as leveling companions for dungeon runs on my own time, and would love to have the 60’s be no longer a momentary dead stop to momentum and joy on this front.

Thank you for reading!

Yes please. The 60-70 level range is a strange no mans land with NPC's now and I would love to see that fixed. I know there are other options but nothing beats dungeons for learning your jobs as you level and aquire new skills. So when queue times are long NPC's would be great.

I have levelled most of my jobs with squadrons and trusts. If I never run the Vault again (only viable levelling dungeon from level 57 to 61) it will be too soon! Yes please to the OP's request

My guess is that we'll see this eventually, but doing it well takes time. Some dungeons also would have to be altered to be included, or skipped entirely.

Can't edit on my tablet for some reason. I meant 57 to 71, of course!

So just eliminate the need for players entirely? Yeah, that sounds just... awful.

I don't recall 60-70 being an issue when I leveled my combat jobs through that range. However that was during Stormblood and everyone was running the new deep dungeon at the time.

Hyperbolic, but I’ll bite.

Yes.

To level in dungeons, I should have the option to *want* to interact and play on other people’s time, but asking me to *need* you is gatekeepy and gross, and doesn’t reflect the fact that everyone logs in alone.

20-61 and 71 to “when I quit because they dropped trusts” function just fine without this gatekeepy need for each other. Asking the devs to close the loop and support the 60’s on this front isn’t unreasonable at all.

PS: I’ll see you all in MSQ roulette, because of course I still run that when pushing a job.

Are you suggesting that the level range of 60-70 is the glue keeping player interaction going? I have zero problems finding DF runs outside of that level range when I queue, NPC's are just an option for people if they want to use them.
