We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[RiyahArp]

I too think they should reduce this game to "Push one button over and over to win and get my shinies and cutscenes".

I did make a serious point there. If you think harder is better, I would suggest doing a lot of trial content, and watch how often they wipe, you come in progress into a duty, or just how often newbies lay on the ground. Now imagine you just made the game decently harder at 50 up, more harder than trials are now. Like spend a night or two doing tsukuyomi as a non raising dps job. You guys always assume everyone is going to be like you and like it being harder, or they will just do well at it. People want it harder, but they really assume they will still one shot it if push comes to shove.

I mean...look, people try and do minimum ilvl parties for the challenge, and good lord, trying to fill those is ridiculous. Because people know that people will wipe ridiculous amounts on any hard content, and a lot want to be one and done rather than wipe repeatedly for the challenge. I was actually going to write a post tonight annoyed at how many people would just leave roulette hard mode content, if it wasn't one and done. I don't think that problem is going to get better if it gets harder.

I mean...do Hydra. he has all of two mechanics, maybe three. 1. don't stay in the center of the arena, so you dont have ice or fire there. 2. Run to the center of the arena to avoid fear itself. 3. Somebody kill the wyvern. People fail all three mechanics! Steps of Faith Hard, people will still do the 2nd and third dragonkillers before snares and make him dodge. Titan hard, someone is going off the edge once per run. Ramuh, someone is going to be tethered till he dies or they do, a good part of the time. Somebody is going to die from ifrit's triple rush. If they do make it harder it's going to be funny.
