Changes to the Battle System and More (2/1/2011)

Now all you guys who want the party leader to /sea all job lvl range every 30 seconds can go fuck yourself in the ass with a fucking cactus.... twice

I hear ya, but it's fail for ppl that want to find a replacement too.

Seriously, why not just add the standard /sea to the current system. So many ppl act like it's gotta be one or the other.

They need to change the terrible targeting system asap. Giving more xp is a 5 minutes tweaks that had to be done, but it's not enough.

However, it wouldn't hurt to have an option for people to "flag up" so to speak and specify what kind of party they are looking for, so that party leaders can search through a list of prospective party members. As it stands now, a lot of the leg work of finding a party falls upon the person who wants to join a party rather than the person starting the party. Having both methods would be ideal tho.

Yeah, and it's awesome. More the merrier though. XI went too far with the responsibilities it put on the leader, really. Of course the system here needs more work but this will do until that time (which shouldn't be that far away regardless).

I don't care if the optimum party size in FFXIV is 8 (or whatever) just so long as it is still worthwhile to get by with 6, or 10, as needed. *THAT* is what will make this "casual friendly" in my mind

Yesss. If SE thought "solo" and "easy" equals to casual I hope they've now learned something important. Grouping is their strength, so they better not fuck with it.
