Why the hate with endgame fights?

What do you actually enjoy about this game? Seriously. I have only ever seen you bitch and moan about everything yet you'll be among the first to jump into a parse or Savage thread and cite how toxic raiders are. You'll, of course, omit the fact you don't actually participate in that content. Your entire stance can be summarized to "I only want content I like. Everything is a waste of resources!!" And you'll promptly prattle on about concepts you have no idea about as Sebazy as so eloquently demonstrated. So instead of telling everyone else to stop complaining; to find another game. How about you take your own advice?

You forgot to add the community to that list.

Usually, I have an issue when someone says "why are you still playing this game?" because its usually used in an over-exaggerated manner in response to someone disliking ONE thing about the game.

But Riyah just...seems to hate everything.

EDIT: oh. Except Diadem.


I think.

I agree in regards to the lack of learning curve. In 2.0, there were a few dungeons that posed some problems. Now, with overgearing, even thats gone. Had Sastasha for leveling roulette last week, had a brand new tank, first dungeon run. ME and the other dps were helping him out. Healer didn't want to wait and ran ahead pulling things. Since you don't really need a tank in that dungeon, the tank learned very little.

While I'd like to see some content that ramps up the challenge towards savage, would it work? The community is all about rush rush rush. Harder content means things will take longer and some groups might wipe. Seeing as the community is intolerant of such things, people would leave. People instant leave aurum vale. They left Pharo Sirius before that got nerfed.

One thing I'd like to see is a rework of normal mode raids. For this raid tier we had:
omega normal - 320 gear
tomes - 330 gear
savage - 340 gear.

If they want to keep 4 man dungeons as easy as they are now, then swap the tome and normal raids so tomes give 320 gear, then kick up difficulty on normal mode raids a notch and have it drop 330 gear.

Is that even possible?

Wouldn't that defeat the idea of having the normal difficulty raids so people can enjoy the story?

Well, since the entirety of the 8-man normal story occurs outside of the actual duty, I don’t see that being a problem. The 8-mans aren’t like Coil anymore; all story occurs before the instance, or after. There are no lengthy cutscenes during them. So them dropping higher ilvl gear from the tomestones won’t affect those who want to view the story.

You're right!

Mockery aside, I normally feel the same. I just can't understand why Riyah bothers to continue playing since there doesn't seem to be anything she likes.

Why can't people who want to progress the story actually have to earn it? Normal doesn't need to be bleeding edge difficult, but I don't think it's too much to ask the supposed "world ending boss" not roll over in five minutes.

I want the sense of danger in dungeons, so I have been thinking about one mechanic to make a hard move dungeon feel truly hard. You know, since I haven't really posted specifics. Anybody remember in most ff games, there are enemies capable of stealing from you?

See where I'm going with this?

I do but iirc, the items were insignificant consumables like potions. But that's only from what I remember.

If you want some real danger though, you could always frog-lock yourself in FF7. Good times lol.

If this were reddit, I'd probably get downvoted to hell, but I've actually never played FF7. Of all the main titles, I completely missed out on all Final Fantasy titles before FF8 - that was my first FF.

That's fine. I actually have not played FF 1-3 and 5 and while I'm aware FF7 is an incredibly popular FF game amongst them all, I barely bat an eye when I hear someone hasn't played it.

If anything, today the only reason I would recommend anyone to play FF7 is just so I can shamelessly promote one of its compilation game: Crisis Core. Imo, its the best FF7 game out of them all.


But look at me ramble on. Here's an idea of what it looks like. (You can watch the whole thing if you want but if you want to avoid any form of spoilers, stop at 1:21)
