Disappointed by Alexander (story) difficulty, fear Savage difficulty

[Remilia_Nightfall]

I honestly don't understand why people can't put a bit of effort into finding a somewhat decent raiding group.You don't need to be hardcore to raid properly - even 4 or 5 hours a week are enough to have fun with friends, trying to tackle difficult and engaging content. From my experience, most of the "endgame raiders" I know have most likely less playtime then the so called "casuals" who had the time to farm 5 relics but never set foot in Coil.

I really fail to understand what kind of psychological barrier stops people to actually say "Ok, I am not an idiot, I want to enjoy the game fully, let's try to find like-minded players and form a good team". No. A lot of people prefer to just join df\pf with random strangers, only to then label "endgame raiders" as "elitist" when the only thing those "elitist" players do is to just put a bit of additional effort into developing inter-personal relationships.

The age of "hardcore raiding" is long gone. Nowadays everyone with a functioning brain and the will to go slightly beyond the "press button to shoot fire" mentality can clear content in a timely fashion.

So yeah, if you play at least 5-6 hours a week and you found Coil difficult, you are a bad player. There is no getting around this.

This being said, i am confident that savage will be brutal. I am sure SE does not want people to clear it within 3 days like it happened with fcob.

I don't find it difficult, but I have a very irregular schedule so I cant be in any kind of static, I have to be somewhere with pick me up groups, but those don't always align either

But it's always a team effort. You can even only find something easy if you and your team are good at what you're doing. When you are in my position, you can't prove you're good because you joined too late - you can't clear t9 and above because everyone who has doesn't want to take a rookie. Do you know how bad it sucks that no static will take me because I'm both a Dark Knight and have never cleared t9? And I can't clear it because nobody wants to do older content with someone who hasn't!


So I can find things difficult, even though I can also probably beat them - it doesn't make me a bad player. There are so many variables, it's close-minded to think people don't do things just because they don't want to or that they aren't capable of it.

Sometimes circumstances just aren't favourable.
