| Re: Is it worth it ?(In my case) Unfortunately, if you liked skillchains and magic bursts, you won't like the state of the FFXI community right now. It has an obsession with thinking as little as possible and trying to apply top-level meleeburn principles to lower-level parties where they don't work now (and groups tend to use PLers to compensate). Unless and until SE fixes party type balance, it won't be quite the same game you loved in that respect.
OTOH, Wings of the Goddess helps alleviate the dead-time factor when you're looking for group somewhat, though less so than it did before this month's update. At lower levels, Campaign Ops give you brief things to do for a trickle of XP; at higher levels, XP from Campaign Battle nicely supplements XP from actual parties. -- Pteryx |
