Castrum Fluminis is way too difficult

Please let this thread die, it is obvious bait, it's not even subtle.

"this fight is way too difficult"
No, it's not. And i say this as the casual i am

"The instant death mechanic from the half moons is very unforgiving"
Ohh, indeed, it's so hard to make our characters move to the other side every three stacks; And it's so hard to look at our debuffs, right?

"is an extreme steep curve in difficulty compared to the other fights you've done"
That's an awfully big exaggeration

"I hope the developers will nerf them"
How about just learning the fight instead? Have you ever played videogames before, aside from this one? What do you do when you cannot clear a level/boss in your first try in any other game?

It's a level 70 fight, you should already know how to play by the time you reach that Trial

Crap, i didn't notice it was the same troll as in many other posts before

Kay. I tried, in the case you are really struggeling with the trial. Since you are either trolling or don't want to do your part anyway I'm outta here.

Can't wait to hear his evaluation of the Mist Dragon in The Burn!

As much as it's an obvious troll post, that's also how all "the game is too easy" posts look like. Irony.

I hate saying this, but given the context and who it's directed at I will. Also I will use a PG version for obvious reasons, lol.

How can someone with a name like "Titan Man" be such a wimp? Dude, "Man Up" and show the rest of us "pathetic lifeforms" how a real man beats on a sexy moon bunny.

In all seriousness though, can we like report these guys? These threads are becoming too commonplace.

The best thing to do is not reply and let it fade into obscurity. Feeding the troll is exactly what he wants. I do see the irony in me bumping this thread (I really didn't want to), but if nothing is said, people will continue to reply and feed the troll even more.

Threads like this are why I am an advocate of a thumbs down, so we don't have to reply to show disapproval.

The instant death mechanic from the half moons is very unforgiving and is an extreme steep curve in difficulty compared to the other fights you've done. Shinryu and Yotsuyu are just such a sudden jump in difficulty that if your healers are both new to the game you'll be stuck in that fight for two hours. I hope the developers will nerf them (give 50% echo right away maybe?)

In my opinion its all about communication, not difficulty.

There are couple of fights during leveling process, that can be obstacle if you are not aware of mechanics.
Ex: Efreet (nails), Chrysalis (tear), Lakshmi (Vril), Shinryu's iced-floor, etc..
It's never more than 1-2 abilities, that are truly problematic.

What is needed to overcome this, is for one - JUST ONE - person who knows the pitfalls to open chatline and write it for new people - and for them to listen.
I do this, when I join these instances in roulette and it becomes apparent, there are multiple new people.

Rarely, you can join parties where all the old-hands are too full of themselves and can't be bothered. OR you join parties, where new people are not interested in taking advice.
Those parties then disband, because they failed to play as a team.

Should SE be fixing this for us? I say no.
