Very Easy option for solo duties should be available on the first try

Obvious troll thread but it does have a kernel of a good idea. The game lets you choose difficulty after the first failure. So a good QoL change could be just give you that choice from the get-go. Since solo duties tend to be rather long and often don't have checkpoints, it lessens the chance someone will get all the way through to the end but fail on the last part.

Something they could even do if they did introduce difficulty choices is they could make a harder version that someone could choose as well.

There were multiple people complaining about the MSQ duties at the end of 4.1, 4.4, and 4.5, so yeah, people were getting stuck before they added the difficulty settings.

I agree, there should be a very very easy mode as well . because i have been stuck doing the 77 duty for several days . could be i suck but i like msq but serious after 10 tries . should just have the dude die . so i can watch the cut scenes and move on . That very easy mode while playing thancrid is not easy enough.

So yes.. this is a troll thread.. but make no mistake.... this playerbase has asked for much much worst.

Gonna throw out there that solo duties are why my husband quit the game.

He was a clicker and keyboard turner and couldn't do them so he quit. -_-

As a keyboard turner myself, I couldn't handle Navel Normal, so I switched to gamepad for that trial alone and been doing decently since.

Not sure what to say about this one..

OP is right, playing a game is overrated. We should just do everything in a series of nonstop cutscenes (you can save and pause tho) and eliminate all solo duties as well as all dungeons and story trials. Team-based online content is toxic anyway, have you ever seen WoW? This community can't be trusted to play with each other so we should just eliminate multiplayer content from the game.

Take Praetorium, remove all player controlled segments, do every solo duty and every dungeon, trial, alliance raid and savage raids this way.

Done.

P.S. For those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting this person before, they're a troll.

These are easy to derail.

You can just die quickly by going to help your son and when you get back the character will be dead and you can pick easy.

Problem solved. This is a very weak troll with extremely low effort.

Not going to lie I know I should not laugh but this made me laugh. I had to change my shirt got coffee on it.

Last I checked, we don't have a necromancer job, so where did this thread come from?!

They made a very easy option for people who are bad at the game.

Not everyone who needs this option is 'bad' at the game. Disabled people play as well as elderly (my 72 year old mother comes to mind) While she does fine in dungeons and raids, solo duties give her trouble because many of them either throw mechanics at her that she's never done before or ask her to play as another character who has a totally different skill set from hers. At her age one starts losing the ability to take in new information quickly. She isn't 'bad' she is just suffering from age. The very easy option means she can complete the duty herself. Normally she would try about 5 or 6 times then hands the controller to me. I see it more as an accessibility option for people like her and those who live with physical disabilities than trying to cater to people who are capable of getting better but don't want to.

Necro'd thread... wait... I mean Reaper'd thread!

Agree so I can waste as little time as necessary in these duties
