What makes certain people say that wow is better then FFXI.
From the people i talked to they all

agree, it is because you can solo
In this game solo is not good and this is bad for 2 resons to this game in

perticuler.
1. In other FF's you could solo, i realize they were not mmorpgs but still.
2. In other MMorpgs

you can solo, better at some jobs, worse at other but still.

Meaning an mmorpg can be made more soloable

then FFXI and less soloable then lets say wow, wich is too easy and doesnt have anywhere near the great job,

story system.

My idea is to make this game soloable by following the FF guidelines not the guidelines of

other mmorpgs.
How did in old FFs you get through hard fights, you used alchemy potions.

Now we do have

potions in this game as well, but face it are you gonna use a 5k potion every fight? no.
Also if we do lower

prices for them this game becomes too easy, can u imagine people using potions every second in parties, they would

be too easy, and whm would die.

So we need a diffrent type of potions. Due to the fact that we all ready

have diffrent types of items, and are now getting a new type item -apprasied, we might as well get

anouther

It would work like Rare and Ex items only we would call it Solo, and it would only apply to items

you can internalize. They will not be ahble and will be sold for cp and gil from npcs at prices that are cheap

like 80 gil for hi potion.

This would criplle alchemy a bit so they could add more potoions like STR

potions to that guild.
TO make sure no one Par-solos or joins party, kills, disbnads,potions, etc we can have a

party timer set up on potions of 5 minutes not allowing you to both use Solo gear and party within 5 min of one

anouther. O f course whm will still not solo, or at least the changes to its soloing capacity will be minimal,

but if you want to solo as a whm go play wow you noob.

So all in all this sort of a borrowed idea from

many other sources all piled into one with my own twist. Also not just hp and mp potions should be made soloable

echo drops etc should too.

Tell me what you think, critisize, but dont flame plz. BBl to check this out and

edit to add more info Ice.

A

couple of false assumptions.

1. The people that believe WoW is better are correct.
2. That the game

could be changed to solo better without completely breaking it.
3. That SE even wants to change it to

make it solo friendly.
4. That the older FFXI games were solo... (wanna name which one you are talking about

because I dont remember any that were solo).

i

a=only ready half of it, but i reckon they should lower prices of potions drasticly,
but not make em stackable,

so u wouldnt be able to have millions.

[Demonblade]

That

was the most unintelligible piece of garbage I ever read.

heres an

idea.

How bout an item similar to an empress band that gives more xp when soloing, say 200 xp for an even

match, etc. Give it a time or total xp earned limit, and a big recast time. Also, make it so that it instantly

wears off if you join a party. An item like this woulnd't affect the game economy, and wouldn't necesarily allow

you to gain xp any faster than if you were in a party. I mean face it, sometimes youll be in the mood to xp, and

you just cant find a party, so why shouldn't we be allowed to solo a medium amount of xp?

they did.. its called

chariot band, gives ya 75% bonus, but why not just use your Emp band, take the 50% (free 1k exp), throw your flag

up and start killing shit, take what exp you can get and if you get a party congrats, time not wasted and any

Dedication left can go with you. 3 hours is a fair amount of time to get enough mobs for 2k exp. .. just my

2cents...

FFXI is

based on partying. If you make any of the basic job types able to efficiently solo, then there will be no need

for them to party, and the whole system collapses. Imagine trying to put all your experience parties together

without any tanks, because they're all out soloing.

FFXI is intentionally not solo friendly so that people

have to work together to achieve goals. If you can't accept that then you are in the wrong game...
