I expected absolutely nothing and was still disappointed with Ultima.

Unless the succubus was moved to my FC house, I call this a net loss. (but not a big one)

So I just did Dun Scaith, and what are people complaining about?

It died in the last 10 seconds for the countdown at the end, and there were way more mechanics than the trash pull. Was a fun fight.

It's a for fun boss made during Stormblood's crunch time, we still have the Diadem and story continuation to come, they added the fight to the game for fun. Tell me, do you remember how bad queues for Odin got toward the end of ARR? Everyone had what they needed, so no one did it anymore, this is a 24 man raid, can you imagine how bad the queues for a 24 man? Don't get me wrong, I'm a little disappointed myself, but it's not the end of the world, and I can see them adding the fanfest version in after the feedback anyway.

How bad was your raid's DPS?

Must be an Aether thing.
No problems on Elemental.

In Aether. Beat him in 90secs

I'm not going to defend the fight - using it as a replacement for a Pretty Interesting trash pull is kinda lame - but I am genuinely surprised at the meltdown happening around it.

Least of all, because: Proto-Ultima was not especially hyped. We knew it was going to be in the game, sure, but it didn't feature in the trailer, and I don't think it even featured in a Live Letter. Is the ultimate implementation disappointing? Absolutely. But it's not like this is the lynchpin of a patch cycle, here; it's a Fanfest gimmick fight plopped in after the fact, at the climax of an expansion development cycle AND the middle of a two-parter patch. I don't think it can reasonably be extrapolated into the actual direction of content going forward.

But then again, I don't think the game is on any kind of "downward spiral" in terms of content, either, so I may not be coming at this from the same angle.

While I am disappointed the fight was not either it's own trial or harder version of it, I also can't blame them for putting it in Dun Scaith either. They know a majority of people will run it for their weekly drops. So, eh, why not put his weekly for the accessories there too? This could've been handled better that's for sure, but what's done is done. It'll be irrelevant when the expansion hits anyway.
