Steps of Faith . . .

It's going to be nerfed, no way it's not happening. It's not in S-E's interests to bar people out of the essential content, because they lose money that way. For instance, are these people going to buy heavensward if they can't even access it? The thing people should be worried about is if they start severely nerfing extremes and non-essential content, which isn't really a thing right now.

Deja vu.

Haven't I seen this thread before?

"*insert new content here* is too hard! I'm rage-quitting!"

Every time.

Like everyone else, communication is important. Everyone plays an important role.

The thing is, it's only bottlenecking people out if they want free clears without doing anything..

[SpookyGhost]

Its actually a very fun fight, as long as everyones doing their part.

Therein lies the problem.

Also, I personally didn't find it very fun to have a fight with the camera instead of the actual boss as the adds tank.

[Spoekes]

I don't think the fight is as bad as some are making it out to be here...

The concept of using Berthas + Chains and the Dragon Killer Tower should have been explained in detail in a briefing cutscene or something, and not via NPC speechbubbles during the fight, that'd be my only gripe with it. (Or did they and I skipped it? ^^)

I got SoF in a Trial roulette. First run, we wiped, no one seemed to have a good idea of what to do. I'd already cleared it before, so I stepped up, as MT, and laid out the plan. Everyone understood, and we cleared it pretty easily. Simple explanations always work well, especially for the newcomers to the duty. I actually enjoy it quite a bit, it's so different from the other trials we face. Beat down Ifrit/Garuda/ETC. DPS check on this trial or that trial. Nothing that really pulls a team together to get something done. I would like to see more of this type of content.

This trial is superior to the average one simply because players can't spam rotations alone to expect a win.

In order to succeed, people must:

1. think
2. do their jobs
3. serve a specific role
4. react to directions

Any party can win as long as everyone is capable of being a team player.

Those who 'cannot win' are often part of the problem.

This is why I truly dislike all the COILS complaints about been hard and demand nerf. SOF is very easy and just requires communication/coordination as COILS, yet the mentality of DF groups is to zerg everything.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

The Ultros trial is the same way. I had too many DF groups collapse and bicker when DPS don't gather stacks or don't even jump back in the right spot when they get blown off by Typhoon. It's like the typical DPS player go "deer in the headlights" when you ask them to do anything besides MAD DEEPS.

The difference is complaints about Coil aren't really founded since you don't need to do those in order to unlock Heavensward. Main Scenario quests, as disappointing as it might sound, can't really be all that demanding or Square-Enix is going to be losing players.
