PServer player here.
I am currently playing both Classic wow and ffxiv side by side and I can say that classic is unironically a better MMO from the top-down even when saturated by chinks.

Wanna explain why FFXIV copies WoW more than FFXI, OP?

>forced to join tranny discord just in order to do baldesions arsenal
>currently waiting five hours and counting just for the privilege to do one starter run

NA was a mistake.

I dont understand your post
They both copy eq theme park style, but while Xi was boring and uninspired clone without new ideas and downgrades of existing features, developers put actual effort into xiv

Why would you subject yourself to that? What are you fighting for?

>developers put actual effort into xiv
yikes

I just want to get my Ozma mount and be done with it all.

I saw yesterday classic fags discussing how wow wasn't treadmill dungeon shitfest, and how it had journey part lmao

Why is it out of all the MMOs, Yea Forums suddenly has a problem with guys playing girls for XIV?

both
these freaks think they'll have an easier life as a girl which would be true if they could become an actual girl
instead they just end up a crossdressing abomination and still don't fuck

If you play a girl in any MMO with the exception of gender-locked classes and races, you are a fucking lonely degenerate creep

it reminds them that they're all casuals getting out-parsed by discord trannies

how's that pet doing
oh wait

you can clear ultimate without being a speedrun-obsessed parsefag who ignores the world outside
normal people clear savage, clear ultimate, and then once they've gotten the loot they want simply stop running it

Even outside the game you bitches are catty

Oi i'm laffing. No wonder the game is in such a shitty state used to milk retards like you that think rehashibg dungeons since 2.0 is a nice and fine addition.

Fuck you nigger.

worse

hard mode dungeons are pretty cool, it's never the same layout at all and there's always new assets
it's just a way of going 'this is how this place is now since you solved the problems last time'

I think you're lying, faggot
not gonna defend the shitty discord group (I fucking hate it too) but they literally never ban people for that

I'd like to see that in WoW too but without them removing the old version of the dungeon like they've been doing since Cata.

Fuck Blizzard, give me the Edwin fight back.

nah.

at least DRK has his weapon out and in front of him ready to defend or attack
gunblade just sits there with no fucking defensive posture at all. its dumb

Its shitty content that is always finished in 15mins or less to grind Tome Stones for Tome Gear. The only good content are raids and the occasional EX Trial.

Wow since wotlk was loot shorter style game, you clear enemies on one map, then do it on higher difficulty exactly same shit, and then once again
So no, you will never see something like that in wow, it just goes against core design

shut up tranny

Yea Forums has always been notoriously bad at games. It's just that recently said casuals have a boogeyman to screech at to try and make it look like they're not pathetic faggots who can't even play on the same level as a crazy person who mutilated their own genitals

>projecting

So I plan on resubbing ff14. I played for about a month, reached max level and did all the story quest up till I reached a gear score requirement. How do I get stronger gear at end game?

yeah like that, that's the bad thing

nope I've cleared both ultimates and farmed them, just curious about why you people are such angry casuals

shut up Yea Forums is a secret organization of legendary gamers

either by trading in tomestones from duty finder shit, buying/crafting it, or by beating raids
tomestones are the easiest to get

Raid, tomestones, Eureka, crafted gear

Farm tomestones of Genesis to get some Scaevan gear. Upgrade said Scaevan gear with materials obtained by trading in coins from the Ivalice raids.
Run Alphascape 4.0 every week so you get the weekly items needed to get the Scaevan weapon, same goes for Orbonne Monastery.

How do I get tomestones? How do I do the raids?

To get said tomestones you need to run dungeons that are unlocked by doing quests found in the overworld. Quests that unlock said dungeons usually have a blue icon. You unlock the raids the same way.

Unironically best caster dps i know is a tranny

>be an actual tranny
>come to Yea Forums because you actually want to talk about a game
>be user
>come to Yea Forums to scream about trannies all day
hmmm

don't buy crafted gear; it's expensive and actually pointless
just run dungeons that are around your level, pick some gear dropped in said dungeons and save your tomestones for better stuff, then get the ilevel to run 24-man raids and keep looting stuff, or run 8-man raids and grind items that are traded for good gear (you unlock them in the overworld, usually inside the important cities/hub: Revenant's toll for ARR, Idiylshire for HW and Kugane/Ralgh's Reach for Stormblood)

I'm playing XIV but I'm probably leaving for classic.
Also how many "XIV whining about Classic" threads does that make now? Seems like we're having them every day now

>don't buy crafted gear
I have too much money in this game and dont give a shit about housing. Ill gladly spent over a mil to make leveling easier for 3 levels and repeat.

It's not but that's still not even remotely an easy way to gear up.

so 4.56 is April the 2nd?

No, next week

26th.

Probably the 26th.

On the contrary, all four Eureka zones still get decent traffic, and the elemental leveling bonus makes it fairly quick. Well, at least for Anemos and Pyros.

Anyone playing WoW or wanting to play Classic is a perfect example of a sunken cost fallacy, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes to both, and it will be a shitfest because WoW classic will have modern WoW mechanics/stats. Glad I didn't fall for the hype.

Man, FFXIV is the most boring, depressing game I have ever played. Every part of it feels so hollow and lifeless, and every aspect of the gameplay is so slow and boring. Half the quests I did were just telling me to run around like some sort of messenger boy and the story was the most generic shit I've ever seen.

I have no idea why people like it so much. Does the game even have PvP at all? It just seems like complete garbage. And trust me - I have given it multiple tries and leveled to 30 on my most recent try.

Modern WoW blows dick too, for the record, but comparing FFXIV to vanilla WoW is like comparing a turd to the Mona Lisa.

You can raid entirely in a Pug, outside of ultimates, if you dont want to deal with any potential drama.

Raiders make static groups because it's only 8 people, you don't need to join a guild to raid at all. You can also pug whatever.

Why would I want you to convince you? Make up your own mind, you weak-willed sissy.

Just don't? Nobody cares.

Nah, you gotta burn through it asap or you'll never get it done.

no don't

What if I play a massive cow person?

I would say the MSQ is boring up to finishing Titan, then is good until you beat Ultima Weapon and is boring from 2.1 to about...2.4.Until then you do literally fucking nothing except fight some primals which are the actual highlight.

HW's post MSQ suffers a similar issue of just doing nothing until stuff actually happens 3 patches in

what

dumb ESL

What do you not understand? All classes, regardless of gender and race, share the exact same animations for all of their skills, autoattacks, actions, and movements. Even the aborted babies.

There are only so many ways you can make a humanoid body run and swing a fucking weapon. The animations between races are different enough, especially in emotes. Unless you want to be bouncy as fuck and slide across the ground like the dogshit male Au Ra running animation for the sake of “uniqueness.”

>an MMO which, in 2019, has all race/gender combinations share the exact same animations except idles that only play when you are standing completely still with your weapons put away
It's like you had an idea to shitpost with, but you didn't even take 5 seconds to make sure what you where saying is true. Honestly a part of me wishes they had the same animations as some races takes on many of them are trash. Yeah, Class/Job animations are the same Except on lalafels because they are the only race they spent extra time rigging shit with but beyond that emotes, movement and jumping, even swimming alters depending on what race you are.

xaela: tranny or VERY thirsty basedboy. raen: either similar to a cat player or a midlander. normie or hyper submissive degenerate.

Literally all races have entirely different emote sets and movement animations. You can tell which race someone is by their running animation, and in certain cases for subraces too though I can only speak for Hyur in this regard, Highlander and Midlander are functionally different races. Male Roegadyn even have a couple of unique animations for Warrior that they didn't want to get rid of from 1.0 because they looked good. Likewise all job poses differ by gender - Samurai, for example, has males hold the sword to their side in a reverse grip in their idle pose, while females hold it at their waist in a normal grip with the other hand on their hip.

Attached: ____.png (250x418, 121K)

FFXI did. A literal PS2 game had unique gender/race/job animations, for all types of weapons. What excuse is there in that regard, user?

Refer yourself to
Nobody gives a fuck about emotes. There is no excuse for any sort of shared combat animations to ever exist. FFXI did all of what you are attempting to excuse this shit amount of effort, and more.

Going to be comfy.

Why do they need unique attack animations specifically? Why are you autistically focused in this one aspect despite the races and genders having unique animations in literally every other regard?

They're the same thing really.

Lalafells usually get unique lots of things simply because their proportions demand it

>Everyone naruto runs with their knives
>Lalafells can't do it so they run with their arms spread out in a T instead

Because every other regard is literally a filler that means absolutely nothing since only autists would bother standing around doing emotes at nothing, and you only ever run with your weapons put away inside a city.
Are you so violently hollow in your brain and soul both that you can't understand why it would be important for distinctively different races, with distinctively different societies and bodies to fight differently, or at least hold their weapons in a way that makes any sense whatsoever to their builds, which is the only part of the game that remotely matters?

oh i thought it was a leak of a new sch fairy or some shit but this is just a reskin of an SMT demon isnt it

>mch get a new sprint animation because of lalas
>weaponkills arent changed to be 2 handed

You have seriously been beaten down by years of constantly swallowing mediocrity, jesus.

It's a pointless detail that only autistic retards like you care about

Why don't you go ahead and just admit you don't give a fuck about what you consume so long it's padded with shitty anime designs, grinding gimmicks and a braindead gameplay that makes sure you don't need to think about anything but the above listed?

>for 200 quests
It's only 186, you big baby.

I would know. I've leveled about 9 alt characters to 70.

2.x is exactly 100 quests.

I thought ARR was 200 quests and 2.1 through 2.5 was exactly 200 as well

>I would know. I've leveled about 9 alt characters to 70.
alright, lets get this out of the way right now
why?

>Races holding weapons differently is the only thing in the entire game that matters
You are the only person in the entire world that cares about this, let alone makes it out to be such a gigantic fucking deal. It is painfully obvious that you are just reaching for random crap to whine about because you have a grudge against the game for some reason. Did your erp boyfriend break up with you or something?

k

I suppose poor selene is neglected enough as it is, yeah

Oh shit is this a mod? Gotta install this when I come back.

I want it to be 2002 again, with all my free time and friends back.

I didn’t say anything about emotes you braindead illiterate nigger. And no, it’s not fucking important, you’re the only one who fucking cares. What the fuck do you want, Roegadyn White Mages to wave their fucking staff slightly differently? What difference does it make?

Let me see if I get this straight. Out of a whole post, you choose to grab one point to go "y-y-you are wrong about this one part!", then when you get told out on how it's in fact entirely true and how the predecessor game did it perfectly correctly so there is no excuse not to do it here (which is also a fact), your argument shifts to "nobody cares, you autist! hand-picking! grudge!"... As if it hadn't been you that picked this particular subject out of all the glaring faults in the game to begin with.

All so you can excuse a perfectly valid, straight up factual lack of effort invested in a part of the game because you feel personally attacked over it being pointed out.
Yikes, man. You need to pull the plug.

Here's hoping we get some good gunblades.

>good

It's a fundamentally retarded weapon, I'll be surprised if they can manage to make even one that looks halfway decent

I’m a manchild because I’m not crying about combat animations? Of all the things to bitch about in this game, this is the hill you’re going to die on, you insufferable faggot?

You have a sauce on that?

Not at all, it's the hill you tried to climb in some ridiculous attempt to prove something that is straight up undeniably lazy to be wrong, when there was a perfectly apt and developed list of why the game is absolutely garbage which could have been discussed.
Out of all the subjects you chose the one that can't be denied and somehow I am the autist for pointing it admist the rest of the glaring bullshit.
Go to your dumbass corner now if you can bother.

Fine.
It makes no sense for any character to fight differently because you actually, canonically learn everything there is about fighting in a fucking guild.
Have you ever studied martial arts? Do you know what form is? Nobody gives a shit if you're three metres tall, fat or a literal stick, that's the fighting style and that's what you should follow. And, except for lalafells, we don't have any outliers in terms of proportions (Read: actual fucking proportions, not just height), it makes no sense to have wildly different animations because of that (like, say, what you have in FFXI with Galka because their arms are literally longer than most characters are tall).
Guess what, though, Lalas get unique animations for all your autistic needs! As do Roes.

Gunblades were real weapons retard.

Because it's comfy. I'd load up Netflix and enjoy just running around doing MSQs and dungeons, and seeing all the themepark sights again.
There's a lot of effort invested into this game's writing, especially in 2.0 when Koji still gave a shit, and it's fun going through the story to see things you missed the first time. This means things like journal entries, the dialogue of random throwaway NPCs that change between quests, quest item descriptions, etc.

I'd also transfer HQ gear from my main across to the alts for smooth grinding and give myself things like poison potions to try and style on the DPS (I pretty much always leveled healers for the fastest queues). I'd also use it for practice, since I'd get bored of the endgame grind and unsub for large stretches of time: so when I come back and feel rusty at healing? Time to level another alt and polish up that muscle memory.

Pretty sure it's 186, as I counted the 2.X quests, but I could still be wrong though.

Fem Midlander side ride all of the primal ponies, don't know if anything else like that exists since that's all I've ever played

Sure, and they're fucking retarded

They tried this with the Black Rock Foundry patch in WoD and Heavensward and it failed miserably. It actually turned out horrible for them in general, since WoW players didn't appreciate having content in a content-starved expansion being delayed four months for such a pointless reason.

The kind which are just a gun attached to a sword or knife were real weapons. The Final Fantasy kind where the gun doesn't shoot anything and just vibrates the blade are too stupid to have ever existed.

in XIV the gunbreaker gunblade seems to fire actual shells but not as bullets, but explosions and other effects like magitek barriers

Attached: file.png (1280x720, 2.06M)

It’s not laziness, there was just no point in doing it to satisfy babies like you. Do you genuinely want unique animations for every. single. skill in the game between the six races, future eight? What would those look like? Would the incredibly minute differences outside of lalafells and Roegadyn be worth the time and money? Obviously fucking not. There aren’t a lot of ways to swing a fucking axe or a sword. The animations in 11 weren’t THAT different.

Worked for BRF and Heavensward!

I'd just read or watch a guide beforehand for any tank specific mechanics.
If you're forthcoming and explain you're new at the beginning of a dungeon run (and aren't a total fuckwit) most people will be fairly forgiving.

Just go in as tank. It's difficult to fuck up a dungeon badly enough to cause a wipe. If you're really scared you can just say you're new and ask if there's any important mechanics you should know, or look up a guide beforehand, but it's not necessary.

I didn't read any, I guess I just have a knack for reading tooltips and understanding what I'm supposed to do. Basically the shit they're pushing has your second DWT early and Bahamut timing like two seconds early. But that's enough to fuck you. For example, his guides have you using Tri-Disaster just as the Bahamut window ends, but you should be using it during Bahamut.

Why do these threads always start out seething about WoW? How has it managed to live in heads of other MMO players rent free for damn near 15 years now?

How would you fix your main job, Yea Forums?

How is Elidibus going to be comparable to Zenos in terms of style and combat anyway? He's possessing a body but he won't have the same nature or personality that really pushed Zenos to excel and perfect his combat skills. Am I going too deep in this and should I just turn my brain off?

Elidibus has been alive for thousands and thousands of years. Possibly since the first fucking era. So he's had a lot of time to git gud at fighting. But I get the feeling that you're exactly right and that's how we're going to kill him. He's assuming Zenos's body will give him the power to kill you, but that's not going to be enough to carry him to victory.

I'm sure he'll have have access to his memories and thus fight style. If anything, he'll throw in more magiclike stuff in combat. Personality will be pure Elidibus

everybody love this TRIUMPH theme but it plays rarely. only in some dungeons, not in all of them.

WoW Classic describes the state of the vidya industry. No one manages to create original IP's anymore that dont suck ass or are based on a formula that an older IP established.

if you read the rest of the lyrics it kinda makes sense. it's talking about uniting together and using the power of bonds to persevere. also most nips don't understand english so it sounds cool.

I can't fucking wait for the Fanfest, I need to know who's getting btfo

Reminder ignore XIfags. You have them to thank for 1.0, eureka, and BLU.

Redditors who read secondhand accounts of XI are to blame for those things.

wow is a dead meme, mmo's in general are a dead meme, change my mind

will eureka 2 will allow gatherers to enter?

Pretty sure i forget a good bunch of things aswell. Either they're going to be really quick about all these things, skip some of them, or we're gonna go over those 3 hours by a hefty margin.
Or worst case scenario, a lot of things are scrapped away.

It will be the "one month game".

People will subscribe in huge numbers due to "muh nostalgia". They will soon realize that WoW 1.X is the equivalent of an Early access indie MMO now and quit.

Most hardcore fans will still quit but claim that "Blizzard ruined classic WoW".

Yeah, they're called people who don't skip cutscenes

they're saving the job reworks/combat changes talk for the May liveletter. they're going to be talking exclusively about that since it would be too long for the keynote.

the rest they're going to talk about at the keynote are just standard stuff. new job, new race, new gear, screenshots of new content, misc announcements, etc.

What if XIV had a 9999 damage cap?

How do I do more damage with my bard, he is level 30. I feel that he does so little damage compare to my lancer

Bard's job is not to big a big dick deeps.
With that out of the way, keep your crit buff up at all times, spread your dots.Use your offgcd arrow ASAP. That will do for a 30 bard

>Ratchel

Heh

BRD does mediocre damage and requires a Dragoon debuffing the boss to do it.

keep dots up, have straight shot up, play your songs, keep your ogcds always on cooldown.

The A Challenge is impossible this week. Let's get Physical can't be done because the bombs in the arena count as magic damage.

Top quality content

It used to have a 999999 damage cap and it also used to zero the last digit in any damage value that was above 32500 or something like that, they changed that sometime during Stormblood.

Goes to show how little they cared. And OF faggots defended this garbage.

But FemRoe exists and is 100x cuter than that thing on the right.

I see, thanks for the tips but, what is ogcds?

in-game they're called abilities but most people call them ogcds. it's because they're off the global cooldown. meaning that you can use the ability while your weaponskills/spells are still refreshing. an example would be how you can still cast bloodletter ability or your songs while straight shot and other weaponskills are still recharging.

eventually this game will have to do a number squish anyways. numbers are getting too bloated and the scaling is totally whack for old content.

ARR: 150-550 DPS
HW: 800-2400 DPS
SB: 3500-10000 DPS

I'd say we're doing fine for now.

thank you very much, damn that community is great

As long as we never hit 1mil. I kinda hope we never surpass level 99 either desu.

Why are they wasting time and resources on this shitty Trust System again?

Will gear ever be more than stat tokens?

because eventually I'll be able to dress them and force my weird and degrading fetishes on named characters instead of just a pineapple slut and a bubble princess

Because they're trying to transition it from even less of an MMO than it is now, to more of an 'online game with a lot of things to do'. The Trust system and BLU are both elements of that. They want playing with others to be an option, not the expectation.

It depends on where you ask.
/xivg/ will mostly ignore you for example.

because they already developed the AI for squadron command missions. this is just a reskin. I want more squadron content with my hand picked and glamoured recruits though.

they hardly have to put in work into it. they already have the framework set up, you've seen it already with squadron dungeons. all they gotta do is just add story NPCs and some text/voices when they do skills.

Great... who plays MMO's to interact with people anyway? How did it come to this?

MMO crowd grew up

you either have illusion of choice that creates insane balance issues or you end up with FFXIV where the content is the gatewall not the gear.

>implying we don't have balance issues right now with CDH being over 200% damage

It's also to solve queue times for dungeons. You get in instantly with a Trust setup instead of waiting 30-45 mins as a DPS.

I wanted to try FFXIV with twitch but the fuckin jank ass downloader wouldnt let me finish the download and it didnt cache download progress

I really like ffxiv but I hate how dead the world is, you just idle in town waiting for raids or dungeon queues, maybe you leave once in a while to hunt shit, but nothing more
Can’t wait for classic and actually go out and explore
Heavens ward was kino though

everything can clear and is viable which means its balanced well enough. unless you want to end up like WoW where certain specs are severely lower than the other to the point they're useless or how RNG effect gear can determine how well your spec actually is.

Maybe some DPS shitters should play something that requires a bit of effort and queue times wouldn't be so terrible.

what good is having best in slot gear when mechanics >>>> gear, always.

It also affects tanks and healers too. By 5.0 launch everyone will be playing the new jobs and the queues for both of those roles will be awful.

They started trying to appeal to people who hate MMOs.

I love Ozma, Thunder God is a shallow imitation.

there are people who unironically think this way

Yeah I'm a healer and not looking forward to the bandwagoners. How long do they usually last and shit up the queues?

>hard mode dungeons
>effort
Theyre not even hard as their namesake implies. Theyre literally saving dev resource and time by reusing as many old dungeon’s assets with the changes to the design at most being an L shaped tunnel instead of a straight line or a C.

why does the west do party on right of platform and tank on left? It's the opposite here on jp. It's fucking retarded because the orbs in cube phase come in from right to left. I've not seen a single stream that did not have 1. party dying from tank not separating far enough from them when soaking orbs, 2. tank dying from being too close to party when soaking orbs and catching the magic vuln from the stack

Atari 2600 limitations. Please Understand.

Because Japan reads from right to left.
Pretty sure people on NA used to do tank on the right (same in original Ozma too). Must be brainlets doing the content now.

Not that user but going to the extreme end of the other side isn’t good either. Content must be balanced properly which is something XIV fails at. Most of their design philosophy can best be described as “Minigame” at best with so much being turned into faceroll or day to week long content due to the difficulty or rewards leaving raids and Eureka as the defacto content to do and the numbers for both speak for themselves, with the biggest issue of Eureka being the content for everyone.

>Said increasingly nervous fujoshit for the 19th time today

>weapon that has to rest on the shoulder
imagine the clipping. Especially with this games fetish for oversized pauldrons that float above your shoulder. Not even attached

there's 2 groups on each platform, usually one tank is on Ozma and the other is on ball duty.

Also that's a EU run, I can see Gachi Bass in the webm

Skype and later Discord

took about a month for the queues to stablize after HW from the flood of new DRKs and ASTs.

they might end up making it crafted gear in ShB

The moment I finished Wondrous Tails off just running it and getting another full 9 points.

I'm honest to god half-expecting it will be the starting gear set for Gunbreaker. And I'll be so fucking mad.

Does anyone here still run BA? I killed it like 5 times in the first two weeks but I haven't been back in ages. Kind of want to go back to get some other +2 gear but I've heard groups now are absolutely fucking awful. Some guy I know has been trying to kill it for like two weeks now and I don't think I could deal with groups that lose 30 people to AV.

its no different than the usual 'scrub clock'. after a certain amount of time the good players are done with it and only the shitters are left

Yeah there's two tanks but it doesn't change the fact that with party right, the party is standing with their backs inches from where the orbs are being soaked. Someone standing too far back gets clipped and dies, tanks not soaking them far away enough clips the party and kills them. The meteor stack on the party there that inflicts vuln up is massive too and the only way the tank soaking orbs can avoid it is to exit the platform completely and stand on the ring.
All these problems don't exist if you put the party on the left and the MT on the right

Bollocks, I was hoping it'd be better with it being planned on discord but I guess at this point the only ones who still need it are mentally challenged in some way.

well there is a discord, but its cliquish and has retardedly high standards

>lalafell memer with an impossibly heavy lisp

Get me out of this hell

there's zero incentive to do it after you get your ozma, unless you really want to help someone you know.

>has retardedly high standards
must not be the same one I used to clear, they let anyone in

I wish the game had a pauldron fetish. WHEN ARE ASSCAPES AND ASYMMETRICAL ASSCAPES GOING TO BE THROWN INTO THE GARBAGE

I didn't know what you guys meant by ass capes until I actually looked at the shire set.

I'm pretty sure you guys are just being autistic.

Only if you want to get in the private tranny runs.

FFXIV is great but also plagued with the modernized MMO format of weeklies/dailies over all else.

The shire set doesn't even have an asscape so you still don't know what we mean

I really don't. anything with actual shoulder armor has it floating off the model and you can see it in many common animations.

I genuinely do not think its nostalgia, the state of modern MMO design is just that shitty. It doesn’t refine the old formula it just makes it worse and stale. Do zoomers actually believe that instant gratification and microtransactions are the future? If anything I would just keep the old mmo formula and just make it a lot more solo friendly.

Will FFXIV be available on Stadia?

>If anything I would just keep the old mmo formula and just make it a lot more solo friendly
MMOs should never be solo friendly. Doing that loses the entire purpose. Forcing people to come together to solve problems is the core of an MMO and why friendships forged in those older style MMOs were so strong and meaningful.

Sure, as a male mooncat WoL, he's like my mirror nemesis I guess.

>Do zoomers actually believe that instant gratification and microtransactions are the future?
You don't have to be a zoomer to see that it is the future because people are buying it and have accepted it. We've come a long way from laughing at people who pay money for in game cosmetics, to the current justification that "it's only cosmetic" instead of pay to win.

I'm a lot more open to the idea of trusts because it ensures that I don't have to interact with this faggot community.

Thats exactly what I think too but when I said solo friendly, I mean giving the player something to do when they can’t find other people to play with. For example: in FFXI they added the trust system, which is summonable npcs that help you, problem with it is that it invalidates partying with other people because your exp isn’t nerfed when you use trusts but it is when you party with others. If the trusts nerfed exp as well then the leveling experience would be preserved while giving the player something akin to a party.

It's not like there's not other people to play with. If you can't find people to play with you're probably not trying at all.

I wonder what the rewards will be this time
