New low level summoner avatar battles

['Shy]

Seems all the summoners in the world are a tad pissed off about this Oh no, wait, just the whining yanks, heheh

A loverley VN Board thread all about the new avatars

Oooh, and another!

Thums up to SE for giving Summoners a chance of obtaining Avatars without having to get Lv60+ char first. Good job.

However

The thing that worries me is that it looks like they've given into the whiners and made all avatars (Fenrir excluded) obtainable at level 20.
I'd rather seen they added 3 new (Alexander, osv..) Avatars for earlier levels, or made it so the battles are capped at different lvls. Garuda Lv20, Titan Lv25, Ramuh Lv30, Shiva Lv35, etc.. Whatever seems suitable.
And as far as for VN boards, i can somewhat understand why some people are annoyed over that they build up lots of fame, got job to Lv60+ and got the Avatars "the old way", just to see it being changed so they'd only had to get Lv20 Smn. Must feel like a wasted effort.
But there's also a great point in the other points about Summoners never should've been that way. Having to level job to 60+ to be able to play your desired class is rather pants too.
To repeat myself i'd rather seen that you got access to more battles as you go, much like the other FF's.

I prefer it this way than spending all my time asking for help to kill an avatar. Should have been this way from day one.

And I got Shiva! :O

 

['Shy]

So, would having baby Shiva now help against fighting big Shiva?

I think it's nice lower levels can get avatars, but from the long time players points of view it's kindof spoilt the whole game for them. As Rhyna said, they spent all that time levelling and getting the fame, making the friends, getting their avatars the hard way. One point to make is, that you still need level 6+ fame in all cities, so it's not as easy for noobs as maybe I first thought.

Now all I need to do is get my summoner to level 20 - still 4 at the moment!

Summoners were a "Free" job for all that was released with the zilart expansion when the cap went to 65, it was high level content aimed to give those players something to do. The anticipated US release probably didn't cross their minds too much.


I got the avatars the "hard" way and I always made friends and had fun doing it.
They simply should have made the difficulty of the battle set off the highest party member, the routes to the protocrystals themselves would have made it a lot harder for lower levels to do it, although still possible, it would make it possible for all players to get avatars, but stop the leeches.

 

[ST^]

Well honestly, at a decent kinda level the only ones worth using are titan and fenrir really.

I won't play with a smn who doesn't have fenrir because they are a waste of PT space^^

Iv heard that 2 level 75 ppl can do it on their own anyhow. And there is a jp smn that has a vid of him soloing shiva

Yes its possibly for a single 75 to do it ( nin/rdm ) ( rdm/nin ) ( smn/whm ).

Other combos can probably do it as well.


I'm certainly going to try and solo a few when I make 75.
