Please Give Support For Solo Savage Raids

[Vishas]

I'm sick and tired of having to rely on others to get items I can only get from savage raids. Everyone keeps quitting after losing one fight, not having patients to form a whole party. Or doesn't know what they're doing. Please make solo player adjustments for savage raids

I could get behind this. They already started this to some degree with the "super echo" in HW content and under, but I think after a certain point (2-3 years) most pieces of content should be easily soloable.

I think either this or Packetdancer's take would be the right path. If they didn't want to provide alternate paths to getting items, then a path that wouldn't cut too much into development time might be building on that Epic Echo idea for older content. For instance, if missing a multi-person mechanic would result in a wipe, then allow the Epic Echo to let missing it be recoverable from instead.

Even outside of Savage, someone mentioned the Yojimbo fight and how a mechanic makes that fight require a certain number of people. So in that case, SE could still have the chains happen, but it wouldn't result in instant death and a party of lower than that number could have a chance of clearing.

That's what statics are for. There is plenty of solo content available outside of savage raids. Alliance raids and normal raids are the way to go if you want to raid solo.

The only way to get the item I want is from alphascape v4 savage

I disagree with OP proposal but i kinda agree with him in a way that savage/ultimate raids biggest difficulty is to find group(s) to do content you want.

It's super frustrating to do savage in party finder early weeks and current ultimate you will never do in party finder unless you play on NA or probably Japan and no life it aswell.

I play on Light and DSR died quickly in PF and i barely managed to clear even UCOB in PF in a month where like 50%+ of my gameplay was simply AFKING FOR HOURS WAITING GROUP TO FILL.

It is kinda funny that SE hates THIRD PARTY TOOLS that just give bigger font for cooldowns but in order to FIND STATIC you have to RELY ON THIRD PARTY WEBSITES.

I have started playing in like august, so soon it's going to be 12 months me playing ff14, i got to 80 in september and i still didnt found savage group for 6.05, 6.2 and dsr aswell ( i got to p2 dashes but every group that desperate to kill are p5-6 already and finding dedicated group from my point will be probably more impossible as time goes on as people will jump to do new savage then even more new content like relics and even new ultimate)

Maybe it's time to implement good system to find people/groups to do content in game atleast (LFG static LFM for static)? No one cares about party finder listnings and also why would i afk 24/7 to have my listning in party finder?

I'm a bit baffled they haven't implemented something like this yet when it's pretty standard in modern MMOs.
The interface for this is basically already ingame: the PF interface. Increase the limit for the custom text, add boxes for casual/ midcore/ hardcore and maybe some additional things like blind prog, voice chat, fixed schedule/ flexible schedule, add the option for setting multiple duties as the ones you're currently progging. The minimum item level is a good option for statics, same with first timers welcome.
And in reverse you can use the same interface for your LFG listing: tick all the classes you're willing to play, choose some duties you want to do/ are currently progging, add your item level, add preferences for the direction etc.
I'd personally prefer to have something similar for FCs ingame as well because the Community Finder is okay but it doesn't get used nearly as much as an ingame feature would - if implemented properly, that is.

But I strongly suspect the reason for not doing it is something something server load, you already have PF/ linkshells/ that other thing I even forgot the name of (we don't).

Lazyness and not caring about raiding scene is an answer. Yoshi P never solved puzzle of finding static for ultimate yet he urges people to play it if they want more engaging content.

To be fair, pickup groups in JP servers for savage stuff is A LOT more common than on the western servers. He more than likely assumed that the same thing would happen in the Ult scene over there.

It's not his puzzle to solve. That's what social media is for.

As much as I love being on Crystal, Crystal pf kinda sucks for raiding. Would have loved to not be stuck in p3s for 6 months for example.

I wanna say give Primal a try, but I tend to stay away from that beyond EX and unreal. It's definitely active.
