16 hours of cross server zurvan extreme party finder: my thoughts

[LunarEmerald]

This fight is all about dps, really.

Soar is the most threatening mechanic and you can skip it with high dps. Most people don't have i270/275 weapons and have trouble skipping the 2nd phase's soar entirely. This also means they're going to deal with it a lot more in the last phase. Of course the fight is gonna be super easy if you already have weapons better than what it gives.

Yea the whole floor lighting up should tell people to move. As for pulling all the mobs the dungeon allows at one time that really depends on your ilvl, if you\\'ve got a higher ilvl it\\'s not bad but if your ilv is lower it can be rather hard. Back when neverreap was a expert dungeon when I unlocked that with my alt char my ilvl was just above 140 and I struggled to keep the tank and everyone alive because he was pulling it like everyone had an ilv of 170 rather than the 140

Does nobody find it funny that the OP had 16 hours to dedicate to a fight first day and was mad that others weren't as trained as her?

I dunno, I think it's funny.

Tho, we are talking about Zurvan Ex. A fight that requires 20 to 40 minutes to learn.

What he is trying to point out was that the OP was able to spend 16 hrs on the first day of the patch which is also a work/school day. That also relates to a previous post if mine about an article I read in the paper about the increase of people that stay home on financial assistance/welfare playing games all day by their own choice.

Was it a right wing "they took urrr jaaabs" rag you were reading? Certainly sounds like it. No offence but there's very, very few people who would actually *choose* to be on welfare, believe me.

It wasn't one of those gossip type papers for starters.

Secondly with the advances in gaming they are a lot more appealing these days, there has also been studies done and video games have been identified as an addiction for a lot of people in this day and age.

Thirdly I have actually met people that are doing that exact thing, living on welfare so they can stay at home all day and play video games.

The content is up for only 24 hours. Let's judge it again in some days ok?
That being said I do agree on some degree and the skill lvl of players of this game went lower.
It's not one thing to blame but a combination of:
We get constantly new players.
Job Quests doesn't teach you anything.
PotD is bad place to teach anything. PotD is nice alternative way to lvl up secondary jobs but it's terribly casual to teach anything to new players.
Content becomes easier and easier. We are getting fewer dungeons and they are shorter and easy. No real danger in the "lol Expert" roulette anymore.
Yoshi wants to introduce a jump potion. Imagine how much more bad players we are going to get in the future. Wallet warriors with no experience poking mobs around.
The game needs better and more engaging tutarials for Jobs. Those pop up help windows need to be revised and appear every time you get a new skill to teach you the rotations.

Oh I agree

Im afraid, that the existence of the jump potion can cause a content disaster. Why? LEts see. How can play a novice, who just jumped to a 60 level and begin to grind fates or even GO TO THE DUNGEON? He cant play at all. Very soon he will decide, that the game with it's mechanics and battle rotations of classes is too hard to play and begin to ask to nerf, to make content more easy. SE looks at the statistics and see, that INDEED, very little amount of players have cleared the new primals and Savages. And nerf the next content. And it will continue and continue

If the SE will not make any skill-UP challenges, the amount of unskilled players will grow

Dont look like se willing to do so.the problem is that most of the mmo players now days are one of 2 .
1. I play how i want, dont tell me how to play .care for your game.
2. Give me all here and now.

Non of this 2 are good players or even people you want to have in the party.
