Petition against Level Sync

[Jinko]

Yeah, now that I think about it, THAT is what I want in FFXIV...have dozens of areas with absolute no meaning to them(even less then they already do). Would make the world feel more alive too. /sarcasm.

Here's the kicker, all the zones in FFXIV look the frikkin same anyway, so its like it matters huh.

If I'm at Nophica or Broken Water it all looks the damn same to me.

I played for quite some time after the addition of level sync in 11 and never had a level sync party that remained in Qufim, so you are either exaggerating or it was something specific to your server.

Now Collibri TP burn that is what truly ruined the game for me.

So I've transformed into Jinko now? lol

I didn't start that thread dude. Nice try though.

Poor Colino you are doing a good job fighting in my honor o/

@ DyskoFox I think you will find that Rokien started this thread in response to mine and not the other way round, please check your facts.

Actually, the level 50 doesn't even need to be in the party. As long as the lower level person attacks/claims a monster, the 50 (anyone, really) can just run in and kill it. The one who had the claim gets the benefit.

True =)
It's for the safety of the party though. A L30 party taking on a group of L40 monsters could be dead at glance, so here goes the L50 trying to do the job for them.

My opinion is same as it always is

your level is your level, why would you want to play level 30 on your 50? To help friends sure, thats a good answer, but lets be honest, they can get help from so many sources its not like you are obligated to do so.

Level syncs are good in theory, but then you get stupid people who do the same things they do in every game where they start using it as a way to power level without ever leaving the lower areas and so on and so forth.

No level sync, we dont need it

Ummm i'm an actual friend to my friends, when they need help I come running, why does this game have such a hateful self absorbed player base? It's still playing the game, haven't you ever re-played a game you really liked? I have beat Ocarina of Time like 10+ times, same content, still fun. If you really enjoy playing FFXIV why does it hurt you to experience the fun all over again? If you aren't having fun playing, then...stop playing? For those who still remember this is a game, I salute you.

I mean I am just sayin they already say they're gonna put it in the game guys, so no sense crying over it. It's just a way for lower level players to play with their friends, also makes it easier for ppl to bring their friends into the game after they are already leveled up, they can go be noobs with their buds again.

It has very few downsides really.

Does anyone else see Irony in fretting over a feature that really requires 2 things we don't have right now: 1) A bunch of people actually playing the game, and 2) a gap in levels higher than 50.

Lets work on the 90,000 other issues this game has yet to overcome before jumping the gun on an issue that is literally so far down the road, its in another time zone.

Looks like your losing lol look 2 post down from your op alot more people are disagreeing with you. Looks like it back fired for you. Better luck next time ;P

Ahh of course, I guess all those low level players who can't get an XP party are just making it all up.

I know right, did this guy just not read ANY of this thread lol ?

I'm a low level player. I don't have any job at 50 yet. I have basically solo'd my only high-ish level job to 42 on my own. There aren't any parties to be had period, at any level. A lot of that is due to the fact I am on a server that never has more than 300 people on at a time, so yeah, I think I'm making a fairly valid point. If we have a situation where we had 1000's of people playing at a time that couldn't get parties, then sure, level synch the shit out of this game. But thats not really whats causing the issues right now. Parties of ANY level require people to be in them. Why would a bunch of people that have all their jobs at level 50, which is like most of the people on my server at the moment, want to party with a group thats 26? The short answer is, they wouldn't.

Is level synching something that could be implimented later on down the road (which it is from what I have read here), you bet it is. My point was, its not exactly a huge priority right now in light of all the other things the developers have going on, and the current type of population of the game.

[Jynx]

It's a valid point that party options might need to be looked at after we have a large enough player population to have people actually partying.

Powerleveling and quick leveling speed in general act against having a healthy community for new and old players, 2.0 is going to come out and new players are going to find themselves stranded in a sea of max ranked players who don't have anything to do with the new players.
