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

If A7S isn't cleared by reset after next you may have a point or something. Until then we are only on the fourth day, if anything it would be considered to easy most likely if it was cleared by this point. Though if A6S is actually buggy then yeah needs to be fixed.

This is what should have happened in Gordias. Part of A3S' issues was the sheer lack of a difficulty curve. You went from a challenge to a sudden insurmountable wall. Lucrezia and Elysium will probably have it down by sometime next week, which is a huge step up from the five weeks it took for them to clear Gordias.

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

The same reason Dark Souls and Bloodborne are so popular. People like a challenge. Frankly, I find a lot of games far too easy nowadays. Things like this are nice for those who want it.

Quoting Yoshi P he said the first Savage was too hard which had grave consequeinces like people forced to switch servers because they couldn't find a group to clear it on their server. And we see now the same thing happening again.

yes... the same thing happening again... on the 4th day of brand new content

[Felis]

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

Whatever floats your boat I guess

4 days is not weeks

he meaned the dps checks.
Do people now fail the dps checks or the mechanics in the new savage?

I'll give you that it's still very early, yes. But honestly from someone who really doesn't shoot for server/world first clears A5S feels like they didn't attempt to curve the problem they had with Gordias. But only mask it with lesser DPS checks and higher mechanic based fights.

sooo it's actually how Savage raiding is supposed to be? People are not penalized for going non meta groups and taking a paladin main tank, or an astrologian off healer, but the fights are sufficiently challenging to keep the players engaged?

I didn't find Bloodborne that hard, minus the out of whack camera and bosses that were too big and made said camera issues even worse.

Uhh. But... the problem with Gordias was hellishly steep DPS checks and boring mechanics?

I don't follow. ._.

Can't say I've ever been stuck on a boss longer than a few hours in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1/2 or Bloodborne, the games really aren't hard and aren't locked behind artificial checks either. Got the boss moveset down? Congratulations, you can clear it while naked with a ladle.

Lucrezia's not in the race; their raid group broke up over a month ago.
