Leves vs Party play

[Achi]

This guild leaves feel pretty boring after doing them over and over again do all rank up job with Leves Behest gets boring after some months.

A party is diffrent each time you can go diffrent camps diffrent Party setups thats the thing i miss in this game the random things you got with a party based system

Doing Leves was fun first time but you get tired on it really fast do it same all the time same with Behest you just do one run then wait for next its same all the time not any tactics or fun at all

Party play atleast give you some diffrent experience every time you not find that in the guild leaves or Behest

I hope they try make the party play fun as it was at start in FFXI

Party play being "fun" or not has nothing to do with the monster grinding nor guildleve system.

Repetition is boring =[ It reminds me of WoW grinding badges.

Oh please D: Don't remind me....

You should never focus on just 1 form of gaining SP

it should never be Leves VS Party Play

but Leves AND Party Play together


youll advance faster that way

I think his opinion is more that leve's are boring regardless of solo or party playing and, in his opinion, grinding on mobs in a camp or roam-style party is more fun. Did I get that right OP?

Mobs are too easy in the game either way so no matter what form leveling is still going to be boring, although I have found that Raptor grinds are a whole lot funner than the leves.

I think both leves and long grind parties can be boring. Currently, battle guildleves are the best source of SP but for now as long as I am getting great SP, I don't mind how boring they are.

I WOULD like party play to be more rewarding SP wise, but I don't think it's any less boring than leves. Even in FFXI, we spent most of our times grinding on the same kinds of mob for hours and hours..

My thoughts:

1. Guildleves should be made more interesting. For example, take the R46 quest: We could have guildleves sorta similar to the fight against the juggernaut. And that's just 1 example. There are all kinds of ways they could improve guildleves.
2. Encourage regular party play. You could boost SP gain from non-leve mobs or offer some other sort of rewards obtained from killing regular mobs, e.g some sort of conquest points that would for example let you purchase gear.

This is my idea for a Guildleve redesign.... The first 3 posts outline it and there is a later post that gives an example of how it would work
