Prepare for....

Did they say they woudl be harder than Extreme trials? I was of the impression they're basically going to be faceroll easy casual content.

Most players are under the illusion that it will be faceroll easy msq like difficulty. The thing is that people were complaining about coil story gating and people were asking for a story mode. A while later, SE said the next raid will have 2 difficulties. One slightly easier then standard coil and one harder. Immediatly people assume the easier version will be faceroll story mode. They are in for a rough awakening...

Ya. Harder than ex primals but easier the scob savage? Uhm that's what coil was. Not exactly sure how they figure that's story mode lol. There are still people stuck on turn 5 and alot more on turn 9. The people that wanted to just experience the story still won't be able to. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Seriously --- doesn't sound any different from Coil, which will in fact disappoint/surprise some people. Coil isn't ridiculous, but it _does_ require either a static or lots and lots of time in PF. Those without significant time to burn won't be able to complete it, same as with Coil.

But old statements from devs (or even current statements) are not always accurate about actual difficulty (didn't they say Heavensward overworld mobs would be more difficult than ARR? And thats only true if more HP = difficult). We'll find out soon enough.
