Loving #ffxiv so far. Level up for the first time, haven't even gotten into combat yet. :ok_hand: Also, very nice night lighting. ~ bloom ~ https://icosahedron.website/media/8o1XIVxR5bpIdDj7OYg
@oyasumi Not looking forward to the raids personally. Here's hoping you can just go questing instead.
@oyasumi You win some you lose some, I guess. At least I'm a healer so people won't get angry at me... Oh heck.
@neon There's some 4-8 person trials(basically small-group raids) that you have to do, but they're not very difficult these days. The game does have a lot of forced group content though, with dungeons starting at 15 or so, and new dungeons every few levels that are required to beat to continue through the main quest.
@OberstKrueger Well I'm glad they're at least easy, it's always very stressful to play hard multiplayer co-op games. Fear of letting the team down and so on.
@neon When I was leveling up, I told the group whenever it was my first time doing a dungeon or a trial. Most players in the game are understanding and will help, or at the very least be quiet and not rude.
There are some fights that are more challenging, but you won't hit them for a while. There are also quick group content called guildhests that open up at level 10. They're not required, but act as practice fights for different mechanics. They're good practice if you want.
@neon The game requires you to run like half of the dungeons to proceed. It's not bad though, the frustrating ones are optional.
