I tried to behest, but a level 18 conj cannot solo a rank 20 behest. Those elementals are painful.

[miokomioko]

Apparently the update note about adding new mobs (Diremites) to the game was a rough translation of "Good fucking luck getting to Camp Broken Water on foot ever again, assholes!"

[Lucavi]

Did they ever fix the low volume problem?

[Celeras]

Well perhaps not if you do the leve over and over again, but I was comparing it to people doing it solo. Deciding between leve-link and leve-share probably depends more on how much guardian's favor you want to burn and how much time you want to spend for slightly more SP.

Linking doubles SP, and being in a party with someone within boost range is x1.9. So compared to doing it twice you'd get the same exact SP: 100x2=200x.9= 180/mob versus 100x.9= 90/mob, x2 for doing it twice. There's no benefit to doing that unless you're in a group where not everyone can link (2/3, 3/4, etc).. in which case you're talking about doing the same leve multiple times for a minimal percentage gain in SP based on how many people aren't linking.

Also: wtf are you guys talking about regarding Behests? On Rabanastre, you're standing in the NPC spawn spot a good 5 minutes before he pops with 20 people.. fastest fingers or get left out. With a full alliance you're looking at maybe 40 mobs and 100/SP each on average.

Palamecia is still in the stone age then. The most people I've ever seen participate in a Behest was that group of 5 Japanese linkshell buddies, and then us random 3 that got dissed.

Most of the time I'm solo, or spamming the other 2 idiots to party up.

[Lucavi]

4 people signed up for the tranquil behest. 3 of them were pre-20.

Duh? They'd be at the level 30 camp if they were post 20. Tranquil Behest should be 13-22ish

[miokomioko]

Does the Behest at Emerald Moss' still have that Giant Slug that one-shots everyone with Mucous Discharge?

[Greedouw]

Honestly don't think I'm gonna renew until the PS3 release unless SE keeps giving us freeplay.... I haven't logged in for weeks

[goodr]

Fucking stop giving me recipes for Sea Sand and River Sand as a reward. How about some guild marks.

[goodr]

And someone fire all the god damn level designers. Tiny step-sized bumps in terrain that prevent you from continuing suck. They suck even more when the map says you should be able to pass here (e.g. in uldah).

I'm not noticing a lot of people catching on to Behests yet. Even if people do them, they don't seem to want to group up and would rather attempt to solo. I've even encountered a Japanese group (mostly the same linkshell) doing a Behest, and wouldn't invite the 3 English speaking players into their party for it. We ended up grouping up separately and it was a retarded competition on claiming mobs because they just had to be douchy about it.

SE just needs to fix the behest model and make it like Besieged/Campaign. Make people sign up still but let everyone hit all the mobs, making people compete for mobs because someone wants to be a dick and exclude people is retarded. I know they set the behest limit at 15 so that everyone can get in one giant party but unfortunately, people are assholes sometimes (most times?).

[Riposte]

The three class quests I've done feel like they were designed for rank 15(maybe 10) and pushed up to 20 without any sort of scaling. This is a shame because they could be fun otherwise. Marauder's especially, if I had a sense of urgency to using AoEs.

LOL I haven't seen that many people at a camp since launch week, let alone all doing Behest (Melmond)... The benefit of being on a once 'overpopulated' server like Rabanastre I guess.

and having to scroll up to read LS comments I was having with others because that swamps right through. Only people in my blist are Japanese shouters ><

I see behests done sometimes, but yea, usually large LSes, and of course when my group wants to try them, one person WHINES and WHINES that "OMG ITS TOO HARD" cause we died once. (Granted, it was too hard, but we almost had them dead, too -.-)

Why do they do this in FFXIV? Are they just exploiting the fact that there's little to no delay between lines in shout macros, unlike FFXI? No one did it in that game unless they were making a multi-line ASCII picture, so it's weird seeing it come up so much in 14. It annoys me mostly because the Japanese are the ones least affected by the absurd character limit, yet they are the ones most raping the chatlogs with their needless multi-line shouts.

Dumb shouts are one of the reasons I have shouts in a separate log as not to mess up my chatlog (I don't like filtering them out completely, bleh).

I don't like the leve camp flow in this game either. I have leves for "Camp Nine Ivies" but I'm level 13 Thaum. How the hell they think I'm going to roll up in there with that Mithra, rock-slinging asshole sitting right outside the camp?! Sometimes, it's like they aren't thinking about the world as a whole but more so in small increments. As far as behest, I just chuckle when the NPC pops up around Emerald Moss because it's a ghost town. I usually try it just for shits and grins only to be destroyed by the monkeys or the roselings that are apparently on HGH.

One day, I'll get through to Crimson Bark to deliver. At the moment the diremites in one direction and the raptor in the other aren't keen on me getting the leve reward.

Bleh.

Not based on what I've seen on my server. I see more small clumps of post-20 than any zergs of pre-20's, especially as there's never any zergs, period. Maybe its different on your server. I know I wouldn't be trying some 20 behest solo as a conj, even if I was 20. Does? No thanks. Elementals? No thanks. Gnats? Yeah.

This is not something that's done on purpose, but it's how the game interprets things it believes to be all one word.
