I love whats been done with the battle system and exp system in 6 and mostly 7. From what i've heard, you dont get super crappy exp when soloing at higher levels..havent tested it for myself but it wasnt so bad using 2 characters goin at it solo, and with a wide player base its alot easier to find parties too. ^^
The new battle system is just what the game needed to top off the storyline so intricately designed by Dagolar. Spells, abilities; each class with its own, well developed characteristics seperating it from others. It really brings a new level of strategy to partying.
Now all we need, are boss fights and other battles that might require even -more- strategy into the fight against the enemy, rather than the strategy being focused on the party, but on how to fight the enemies. woot good job ^^

actually fen, the exp amount received has been reduced in all areas. that, and exp is reduced even more with more people in the party. this was because in v5 everyone would gain a level after every ambush and such.
even so, 1k a fight (old v4 stats) is considered to be supppper low now. believe me, leveling is easy in this version

anyways, for the bosses, Magora used to be an hour long fight, and if she was with the skills she has now, it qould require a lot more strategy, and besides, the new dungeon? heh heh heh. good luck.

meh magora didnt require much strategy...more like hit, hit heal hit hit heal...once she used nuke just heal the nuked. rub? she only used that skill once throughout the entire fight and the fight lasted forever

One word when against Magora: Barrier.

ah Taterz, you forget. I fought her without Rub/Nuke/whatever else she sot and with 25k HP along with a Thief,BM,2WMs,Knight and i think something else? anyway if her new defense ges added in and her new uhmmm, skills shall we say, she will require strategy to a point.

hiro, i did fight magora with her skills in. another 7k hp would not have been a problem even if she did have it. she might have casted rub another time, and perhaps even 2. she was still not a challenge. her minions were worse than her

perhaps, but the mages will do more damage than the melees will. we were busting out a maximum of 600 or so damage a round. thats one whitemage's white or a blackmage's nuke

White on Magora does roughly 400-500 damage, which is oddly low for a high-end spell. I've yet to see Nuke on her, which is what I'll be watching out for when I get a Blackmage there.

Nuke is roughly 700. Mind you, that was out of a possible 2700 to 3000 average damage.  |

Well, the main strategy to killing Mag, would be to kill her minions with high-end skills/spells, barrier ASAP with Mages, then have people with cure to heal, and everyone else to just attack. Not TOO much strategy there, just need some speed against those Middle Demons.

We could make it two guards per person.. >.> Would that help?  Maybe maybe 3 magoras in that fight.. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED!.. Reset it so there's only 1 guard per person (including geyzer), and put in 3 of the boss characters in the fight.. I'll get started on discussing it with the rest of the BH. Enjoy life while you can. Muahahah! |

yea thats nice and all, but melees will not be able to match the damage that those spells can dish out on magora. sure a beevar could do it, but they have more important things to worry about (keeping people alive)

SO that means she will recieve new ones, harder ones, more evil ones. good luck. [EDIT] i know i quoted myself.[EDIT] |
