Alpha First Look: Video 5 - Quests and Combat

[Rustyhagun]

See I agree. When you initiate a levequest you go and fight the same mobs at the same level over and over again. Take away the leve initiation and you're still fighting mobs over and over again. Same thing with the "WoW Method." They are all different methods to the same end, grinding.

Leve questing is the involve version of mob grinding. But most of you youngsters are to young to see that.

And I want my story driven mini side quests/missions. All RPG fans should want this. You don't like to read? Whats wrong with the gamers of this generation. Lore is Lore and any MMORPG gamer should welcome it. Or your just a wolf in the fold.

Main Story will have CS and even VO's. wait and see. We looking at alpha, once again.

FATE is a new system, which might be even better than GW2 version.

Crystal tower, if level based, might be a great way of gaining exp if its for mid to end level players (a tower that unlocks higher levels along side the level cap.. till lvl99) << I hope people aren't foolish enough to think Crystal tower will be fully playable for the current 50 level cap.

Bahamut's Lair

Grand Company missions, these are fun. Gaining up in your ranks to unlock new gear.

Who knows, maybe Old fashion grinding is viable with a party fighting mobs 6-9 levels higher than them. It just might take longer.

Anyways, I see a bit of ways to gain exp, with the above listed, in game features. Not sure why everyone is stressing over one lvl4 quest and one lvl10 quest. each being 2.5 mins each.

Along side:
-Fishing, Cooking, Foresting, WeaponSmith, Armoring, Goldsmithing, Alchemist, Woodsmith, Miner, Leathercraft.
-PvP (Instance style) Raids? Not much info.
-Raising/breeding Chocobo's
-GoldSaucer

-Hidden/easter eggs quests around the world (I would laugh if there are hidden, unlock-able quest that pop up, but only if the user completes certain vanilla quests first, in a specific order. Quests that branch out from other quest)

This game is all about the journey.

Sometimes, the vein on the side of my head pops out, reading some of y'alls fears. You naysayers are ruining, what could be a very fun experience. .... complaining about quest cuz you have to read and you can't progress fast to end end game..... pfft...... A.D.D, I tell ya

If the opposed player base can't except that. All the other WoW type, rush too lvl50 end game content mmorpg's, are there on the internet for quick download & play.
