Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[Aurelius2625]

I've already given up on this, because so many people will come up with 99 reasons why they can't get better at the game. These people are nothing more than worthless failures in my eyes. I started out as the scrub, and now with multiple clears of ultimate under my belt, and prepping for the next ultimates, I've proven to myself, and anyone else out there that if they want it, they can be as good as I am, and far better than I am as well. Put in the effort.

But that's too hard for people, or, how DARE I demand people have more than two functioning brain cells while playing the game?@!? "IT'S JUST A GAME! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PLAY WITH ITCHY SKIN/DEPRESSION/RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME/ IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME/ XYZ EXCUSE I GIVE TO GET OUT OF GETTING BETTER!"

Content should be ramping up in difficulty, the further you get into the game, but, I've made my peace that this game is filled to the brim with casuals that don't want to get better, and just want to accept mediocrity. Whenever I queue for anything non savage in PF, or recruit for Ultimates, my bar is very, very low.

As long as the dps are doing the most dps, followed by tanks, then the healers... I'm content. Do that, and I'll be content.

It's like Kratos says in God of War to Atreus: "Keep your expectations low, boy, and you'll never be disappointed".

EDIT: Also, this is the SAME playerbase that had trouble with the Garuda fight in the FFXV crossover event. People LITERALLY couldn't beat this AS A DPS CLASS AND NEEDED HALLOWED GROUND ON PLD TO BEAT IT! But you know what? I've seen so much shit that I didn't even bother worrying about it. It was expected that people were going to get stuck. These are the same people that can't understand the difference between Larboard and Starboard, so honestly, just do what I did: make peace with the fact that a lot of people just aren't interested in being anything than mediocre at their very best.

Making it sound like job, sure sounds like a fun way to play a game

when the dragon flies up there is no way to discern where his path will be that I can see)

This one is simple. Just Sprint around the edge of the arena. When you get close to where he's hovering, his trajectory appears. Usually, if you've 'found' his position, you'll be in a safe spot.

To be fair... I never seen Larboard or starboard before so I got tripped up so hard there. WHY COULDN'T IT BE JUST FREAKING LEFT AND RIGHT SQUARE!!!!!!

heck Starboard and Port would've been better, but Koji loves bringing in outdated terms and memes/references XD

I wouldn't hold on to hopes for this too much, since PotD and HoH were basically supposed to be this, and to get to that "savage" level of difficulty instead of making the content itself especially difficult, they just ramped up the punishment for failure (hope you like reclearing 100 easy PotD floors before getting back to the harder stuff), so it seems to me like they don't really know how to balance 4-man content as tightly without gimping certain comps vs others.

The HUNT would like a word with you.

Never understood why people were so triggered about those real terms, if square had given the skills names which told you nothing about the aoe shape like in other fights, less people would have complained about it.

[Ceasaria]

Anything outside of savage mode raiding is exactly the same difficulty as it was back in ARR. Infact I'd argue that there are some things MORE difficult now outside of endgame raiding then there were back in ARR. Two examples off the top of my head is shinryu, I don't recall either of the 2.0 MSQ dungeons being difficult back then yet when SB launch it took my a few tries to get a group that could do this STORY quest. Same with the zenos trial at the end of requiem... a lot of people seem to struggle with this and I cant think of a solo challenge that compares to it.

I wasn't there but Pharas Sirius, Amdapor Castle and another dungeon were nerfed.
The Step of Faith trial too before HW.
The Vault too during HW.

Concerning solo content, I remember the first complain about difficulty was when you control Y'shtola (or it was during the battle of Bardam against other tribes).

Larboard is what gets me(naming wise, mechanic is fine), its outdated by a long time, it was stopped due to confusion when yelling it out so Port became the replacement for Larboard, i'm fine with using any name they wish to give so long as its appropriate, Koji wanted to use nautical terms then he could have used current ones not so obscure that even in RL it will never be used again XD

I remember at Fanfest Koji apologized for that one.
