Is anyone else really disappointed with the nerfs coming in 2.2?

[Gormogon]

I ain't disappointed and I don't see how it even affects you in anyway since you already completed.

If old content doesn't get a nerf the percentage of people that will get to do the new content is just gonna keep on diminishing and we know how that will lead to less subscribers since that's the only content to experience at end game. Also you wont even be seeing millions of these people that will complete it.

Also while there's nerf to old content that wont mean people still can't die to mechanics. Since Extreme Garuda and Titan will still have a 1 shot ability.

If you aren't doing the fights already with minimal requirements then you have no right to be complaining about these nerfs because that ain't hardcore.

So I'm glad they are easing XIV content in a timely and thought out manner.

EX primals have barely been out 3 months, at this point they might as well just release leviathan x with the buff too, wtf is the point in releasing in unbuffed at all? f**k it, echo buffs should just be on all content the moment its released, if people dont like it they can just click it off. seems legit

You get bragging rights if you have completed difficult content before it gets nerfed.

New content usually raises the bar somehow and gives you new bragging rights if you stay on top of it.

Even if old content gets nerfed and people catch up to you and subsequently surpass you, they will never have the bragging rights of having been there, done that with all the pre-nerfed content.

The EX primals themselves don't even give gear that is best in slot. You need to kill all 3 per week to get a better version of the zenith weapon which only applies to some weapons. So I don't get the sarcasm.

also, people need to quit with the idea of "oh if the content doesnt get nerfed then new players will get stuck"

no, they wont. its common practice for players to join groups for relic clears or dungeon clears long after they have in fact cleared the content themselves. i join PF groups almost daily just to help out completely random strangers on content like titan HM and ak and i havent needed any thing from there in months.

if people get stuck on content its not cuz the content is too hard its because they lack the drive to complete the content. make friends, practice, gear up. do the things you are supposed to do in an RPG to clear content, stop crying for free loot and hand outs

this hand-holding care bear mentality has got to go

its not about the loot, its about the experience. if people have a hard time clearing titan x they have no business moving on to harder tiered content. how does this not make sense??? personally, i dont want to raid levi x and coil 6-9 with people that could barely get thru titan hm and coil 1-5

Do you study your ass off for a test, get an A and then are really happy for the people who stayed out drinking all night and got Bs and As from the curve? Probably not, you worked harder, right?

This is entirely the point. I don't care what other people do. They pay to play the game just as I do and can complete it however they would like.

Why does it matter to you? Why do you care? Why are you disappointed in nerfs to content you have already beaten? You say it's not an epeen thing so I'm confused to what your hang-up is...

I'm disappointed by the nerfs to AK. I really like that dungeon, but they've torn it to pieces removing basically all the remotely interesting mechanics. It's honestly not much harder than some of the pre-50 dungeons as is (and significantly easier than some of them as you gear up) and didn't need to be nerfed to oblivion.

If players seriously can't clear it, I would have preferred an Echo buff that only stacks if you're doing it for the first time or something. The way they've done it basically deprives new players of the opportunity to experience the dungeon as it was originally designed.

EX Primals are going to be as hard next week as they are today. The echo buff won't even exist until mid april, and then it'll be a measly +5% for Extremes. Maybe in a few months, with the full 25% echo buff, the fights might actually be easier for people who are having a hard time now. But don't act like they are being trivialized 3 months after they came out, because they aren't.

I actually liked it in it's original form but it was more than some people could handle, at least in my own experience. That was why I was ok with the first hit to it's difficulty. It actually made it fun for me to run through. Making it any easier though...well, it is a bit disappointing.
