The Heroes' Gauntlet is yet another misstep in the trend to make all content hardcore

For players who just want to do the story, there shouldn't be any mechanic that will insta-kill you, period. Even when playing with trusts, the Necromancer can insta-kill you if you did not know that the corpses will explode soon, since the trust NPCs sometimes just put the corpses together. That means you get hit 4 times and die... The issue is there is no yellow AOE indicator and that mechanic is totally new so unless you look up a MrHappy or MTQ guide there's no way to know how that mechanic works... After so many people complained about Mist Dragon how come Square Enix still insists on making dungeons harder and harder? Please stop lol

(dislike).

That aside, what did you have for breakfast today? I hesitated between crepes and some cereal but then went for a yogurt instead.

Isn't coffee amazing as well?

Also, RIP ChiChi Devayne :(

The newest dungeon isnt hard it's just another minor step up I would argue that the corpses isnt even a new mechanic since spread .markers appear for a brief moment which you should recognise. The only new mechanic is on the last boss to avoid the massive aoe. Dungeons have always increased slightly in difficulty and people arent wiping to this one as much as they did to the one in Stormblood I would say this one is easier in comparison.

Are you serious or a troll? Because mechanics are NEW to ALL player on a NEW DUNGEON. It means: you wipe one time, you learn the mechanic, you remember HOW the mechanic works and that's all, you won't do the mistake again. Or you wanna do 1/1 because you're in a hurry? If you have enough time to watch cutscenes (or gpose), you have time to wipe one try.

Can't he be both?

Imagine that you perceive satirical trolling as a vital public service, and you're quite serious about your duty in that regard. See? Dilemma resolved.

THIS dungeon is an insult, we get full stopped on so many places where we gotta wait till a npc cleares our way, the mechanics are so easy and forgiving unless you literally roll on 450 or smt and its super linear - if they step up from that the next dungeon will literally be a rail shooter with us being locked on a platform for all dungeon lol

It clearly suffers from the need to be Trust friendly... (and its like 90% reused assets?)

It was certainly the dullest dungeon in memory for me, be it in terms of novelty, fight design, aesthetics... pretty much any consideration. It was kind of like the opposite of seeing Pharos Sirius for the first time back in the day.

Agreed, the extreme emotional strain brought on by this dungeon ruined my marriage and lost me my job.

SE please fix this immediately, or else I will downgrade from 20 retainers to only 19 of them.

I know this thread is very clear bait, but I know there's people who are/will be fooled by it and even agree, so I have this to say:

With regards to the necromancer killing you in one shot: learn by doing. Lots of things in life, not just the game, involve making a mistake and going "oh I see, I understand now" and then not doing it again. Not everything has a neatly written guide for you to follow. Sometimes you just have to do it and see what happens. Making mistakes isn't the catastrophic failure that people have lead you to believe.
