Wasn't new Savage supposed to be easier than first?

[SuperZay]

A1 and A2 were cleared Day 1 with A3/4 being massive gear/time wall for most of statics which even led to the official apologize from developers.
But now top groups like Lucrezia and Elysium can't even come close to clearing A6S for days in full i220+ pentamelded, which equals to i240 and weeks of progression for regular statics who don't have perfect skill level and play 15 hours per day.
Do we have a raid designed for 1% of most hardcore raiders... again?

Dude...we are 4 days into the new patch, perhaps instead of acting like it can't be done, perhaps be a little more patient as people...LEARN THE FIGHTS. No one is going to be an expert in 4 days...

Seriously...

Instead of Savage the difficulty should be called "Self-torture mode" cause I don't know how anyone can actually enjoy doing that shit

It can feel really really rewarding as a group to beat a fight you've been stuck on for a couple weeks.

I'm loving the supposed difficulty so far

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I'd say I was surprised to see Zay complaining.. But I'm not.

Then mission accomplished, the fights are not simple pushovers in terms of server/world progression.

Weeks of failure/frustration/hating each other for 3 minutes of "Woohoo yay we beat the boss guys"

Whatever floats your boat I guess

The whole Final Coil was cleared in 5 days by top groups with most of statics not being able to clear it for a couple of months. It's not about learning or gear (top raiders learn fast and require much lower ilevel for clears because they play more efficiently), if they can't clear it in i220 no way others will clear it in i230-240. And we are talking about A6S here with A7/8S possibly being even harder.

You mean like any video game that offers an actual challenge and not just hand everything to you like a lot of AAA titles today?
