Save the Parties!

[Rokien]

With 2.0 coming around the corner, parties will be going straight. Typical parties will no longer exist, and a single player game is on the rise! You will be lone adventures seeking quest, after quest, after quest.
With those quests come dungeons, oh those dungeons, they can be a lonesome, dark, scary area. Though, don't you worry! You will need at least 4 to enter any type of dungeon, because all dungeons will be instanced, so get your instanced grind on if you run out of quests!
Those poor mobs, who will grind on you, sorry, but no one... It saddens my heart to see a party of 6 take down a Camate no more. Why can't old school parties be just as good as quests or instanced raids? Come! Join me! Together, we will be the salvation of Final Fantasy 14!

SO WHO IS WITH ME! LET THIS BE THE START OF SOMETHING OLD!


Save the Parties!!!

Edit: That was too harsh... My sig is how I feel every time I read one of your threads.

That's alright for whatever reason, but really
""RPG Site: As far as gameplay goes, how will grinding vs. quests work for leveling? Will players find more reward from taking on more quests as opposed to just outright level grinding?
Yoshida: We will be moving away from a grind-oriented leveling system to a quest/content-driven leveling system. No longer will randomly defeating public monsters be the most efficient way to level your character." "

This.

Where is it mentioned that you have to do quests solo?

[Mijin]

It's kind of ironic to me that when FFXIV came out people told SE that they hated the solo leveling system (leves) and wished for the XP gains from group quests to be raised so that we could do exp parties because its what we enjoy. In lieu of this someone at SE got their head out of there a** and made that change happen, we were all happy.

Now they are taking that away from us again, not really sure why... If they want to dumb the game down to appeal to WoW players that's fine and all... but at least leave group exp parties an equal and viable options in conjunction with the new s****y quest system... Apparently learning from past mistakes is not one of SE's strong points...

Yep, not possible. Nope, no way we'd ever be able to team up on these. Cannot be done, no siree.

In all seriousness I would like to imagine these quests will be more like guildleves that actually have some sort of fleshed out story, perhaps interweaving into a greater tale. As you complete them more parts of the story might become available to you.

Rokien you seriously need to calm down with this "the sky is falling bit" every time you decided to jump to conclusions. Though I hear tale there is a mat that could help you with that

Sarcasm is lost on the internet

Both are equally as bad.
