Weekly or party play in general

FnFn

hi, i'm fairly new to this server and i notice there's really little interaction in #lfg, if i have to suggest, maybe add something like a weekly quest where you have to do it in a party or maybe just faster if you do it in party. Or maybe just make a harder version of some instance so force to do it in a party, after all i think party play is the core to MMO game and i'm sure this server can grow more if the #lfg is more active. Thanks

Sadly, I think this is merely a reflection of the direction RO is going.
The powercurve in the last few episodes/dungeons, be it the 4th classes or the endgame gears, is ridiculously over the top.
An endgame player can dish out billions of damage, easily melting any mob in their path, even the toughest (Depth).
And even before that, with the gear available, an early-mid char can attain a power level strong enough to solo most of the content already.
There's neither incentives nor advantages to team up anymore, and it shows.

If you want partyplay, your best bet would be to join a PvM guild or find a group of players that'd agree to limit themselves to 3rd classes/200- gears, as it would mean you'd have to pass up on some of the most broken things the game has to offer.

Ah bummer, thanks for the replay tho, hope one day there's a new instance / dungeon where you have to party like 12 people again to complete it like the good ol days, i really like this server so far.

FnFn There are biosphere runs sometimes, and I'm sure guilds run constellation tower. There is plenty of difficult content out there, but the server is very accessible to solo players, and gravity made it possible to solo most content now.

I personally haven't done depths myself, and died at the boss in constellation tower (with a friend) so, I'm curious about those areas. Unfortunately, we can't make any of the current content harder, or it wouldn't be fair to anyone new. There was discussion regarding instances being more difficult, with rewards actually worth party play incentives. Not sure where we've gone from there, but I hope they implement something like that, or some custom fields which require large amounts of people, with an added quest which can possibly last a week. I wouldn't mind something like that.

Party Play happens. Not publicly tho. Join guild.
