A12 savage World first 3 days after patch

So today Angered from Ragnarok server ( gratz to them i have friends in that static!) got world first A12s 3 days after patch , my group is at A11 at the moment and i can tell you.. This content is really ridicolus , you can clear a turn having 5 6 death + people failing mechanic , we cleared A10s with 2 tank dead at the same time . Dps check = 0 with ilv 240 for a9 and a10 , Dps check = 0 ilv 250 a11 and a12 , share your feeling about this.

Its 2 days, not 3 ;)

Or like Data would say: 47 hours and 30 minutes after server launched.

Ye lol even better.. I miss the old GIT GUD time.. I also think after the content a lot of people will frezee their subscriptions so idk why they do things like this , is a loss for the players , for se , i think even a casual player should be disappointed when they do easy content is like to say.. I give u something like this because you are bad

Easy? You think this is easy? This sentiment is appalling. You have world first (experts) that are spending 16+ hours a day trying to clear content for recognition. My static, which I love tremendously that consists of very good players, is looking to get our SophEx clear tonight before we even start A9S.

The developers ran into issues of people quitting the game and statics breaking up because the last content was too hard. The front page of the FFXIV Reddit even had a tremendously upvoted picture of a raid group that finally cleared A8S hours before 3.4 hit! You have to keep in mind that SE requires to keep 99% of the game interested, and has a goal of pleasing the 1% that outperform everyone else. Quite frankly though, if you're a world-clearer, top (metric) individual, and you don't find this game a challenge, by all means, there are other games out there that may challenge you.

@pasquale:
cause the larger part of the server population might have a chance to down it. seriously if that 1-2% of the player base that can down it rather fast unsub for a while the game won't die, but if the mid-core ppl have actually something to do and slowly progress towards the clear, it is way more healthy for the game in the long run.
and just cause one group which probably put 30hrs since tuesday in this downed it now, it's still not easy content. especially if it's mechanic heavy

Well Dev's said it was going to be easier then Midas which I don't mind, means I can take all of my FC through it so there topped gear for the expansion lol.

Me for the Final raid? I think it should be the harder then this since it is the final Raid till the new expa comes out in about 9 months I would say.

Midas had the perfect difficulty level.

Well... People asked for it... Kinda... Sometimes one should not listen to the playerbase. <_____<

Now we wait and see if the clear percentages make any substantial increase this tier. If it's below 5% I heard they're axing hardcore raids once and for all.

If the top group is able to clear it in 3 days , the mid group will clear it in 1 month , soft group maybe 2 month .. What's fir the 4 other months?

Admittedly, what I have heard about A9S-A10S is... disconcerting. But it's still too early to gauge the overall success of this difficulty scale. If midcore groups are starting to blow through it within the month, then it won't look promising.
