Well, they actually did it, the absolute madmen

Every once in awhile I get screwed by one of those instances in msq that has no benefit to heals whatsoever. This will come in handy. Sometimes I feel like the instance quests are only for Tanks and DPS.

[Awha]

This reminds me of that whole star fox zero thing, Only thing will help a player improve is personal desire that is all. People are overreacting.

OP here.

Does anyone else remember the 2.0 days?

MMOs change. It's the way of things. Just like them, players need to learn to change and adapt as well.

I could spend all day here listing how EQ and EQ2 (the two MMOs I spent the most time in) went from hard as heck to "baby" in a few years. But I won't.

I love how we as gamers seem to regress from the early days of Super Mario to today. Its hilarious.
I dont personally care how hard single player content is, but they also keep making dungeons and other multiplayer content easier and easier every patch. No good game design goes BACKWARDS in difficulty from beginning to end. FFXIV keeps doing this. With this new patch, there is ONE single fight for people who dont want faceroll content. ONE. Thats the absolute bare minimum of what you can do to cater to people who LIKE to press 1,2 and 3 in the right order. Everything else is purely catering to supercasuals, popotos and people who play tapper games on mobile phones as the peak of their ability. Its a disappointment.

Eden Raids are hard as never especially savage, hades raid is also pretty hard, dungeons are not easier they are harder as well mobs hit a little more and there are more punishable mechanics at boss fights.
Latest alliance raid is so hard that people are actually dodging it, ealier raid is not easier either.

Maybe you just play better, i myself dont feel like it is any easier.

I would choose the very easy option because those battles are really boring and long. Just wasn’t to hurry it up so I can unlock the good end game stuff.

Same here. I just want to get it over with and move on with the MSQ.

Im waiting for the 1 button consolidation of your whole classes kit that will automatically play itself

That's basically roleplay duties. Your only job is to click click click and not stand in AOEs. Which is too much for some people still.

Also, speaking of disabilities, here's a video of a kid playing with his feet, at a level most current players can only dream of. Don't use disabilities as an excuse.

I reiterate, not everyone has the same disability. I'm glad that kid can play the game at that level, but NOT EVERYONE WITH A DISABILITY CAN DO THAT.

Boy it sure is lucky that all disabilities are the same. Otherwise this would sound unbelievably stupid.

Some of these solo instanced fights when you are 'at level' are not easy... this is why I try to be several levels above and well-geared before I go into most instanced solo battles. It isn't even about mechanics, especially with many job instanced battles, it's usually just a drawn out slugfest that's just not fun. Nobody likes dying time and time and time again, it becomes incredibly frustrating and some people will give up and walk away- some come back- some don't. Thus, I think it's a great option for players, especially those who just want to enjoy the story, level their jobs, and progress without a bunch of stress.

And yet we have people who complain about the difficulty of some of them. I can't recall them by name but I do distinctly recall some being telegraph city that even tested my abilities to dodge things at times, and I regularly play in content above normal mode.

We even get people complaining about having to play as Y'shtola because apparently reading three tooltip abilities was too much to ask for.

I remember there were some complaints about Ranjit too. I think there was something with his last attack, and people didn't know if they had to defend or just bash into him.
