nerfing orbonne was hella unnecessary

Square enix proceeds to kill the earlier content leaving us dust to lick on.

Instead of scaling it up for lvl 80 and make it so people could play it on max lvl, naaah just make it pointless and useless.
And they are cutting the amount of playable battle content casuals could play as well.

95% of content is only playable for below lvl 80, usually synced and this is making me drop the game all together, end game barely exist. I have more stuff to do in D&D neverwinter online at max lvl, ESO or GW2 than i have in this game.

It should have been nerfed much earlier, the third fight was as hard as savage content because 1 guy could fuck up everything.

Ive seen ppl leave the instance soon as they got Orbonne Monastary it was bad.

I'm honestly pretty upset by it too, Thunder God is my favorite 24 man boss and most of the fun was the difficulty. I'd rather wipe on a fight a few times over facerolling through everything. It was already easier now than it was on release with most people being synced down. I hate that they keep doing this, all of CT has been a total joke since HW, the HW 24 mans have all been way too easy too.

Looks like they even nerfed Red Chocobo Savage. Such a shame, that was an unintentionally hilarious and fun part of the questline. So many AoEs, so many deaths, it was beautiful T^T

Lol yeah that was hilarious.

I was like... what? Did I just get wiped out by a Choco Meteor?

I was just dumbfounded.

That said...

Honestly yes I wish it wasn't Nerfed. You could STILL play that content as a Viable 80th level Alliance Raid it was that challenging. I am sorry to see it nerfed.

Honestly Nerfing any dungeon/raid/ex is not needed as long as 1 group has cleared it everyone can thus it shouldn't be nerfed period. Honestly the same goes for character abilitys shouldn't try to balance them when most the game is pve it doesn't matter just need to upgread the AI to counter it to create a challage.

Oh good so I can afk in this 24 man now as well.

Of course. It's how the game is meant to be played.

I don't get why they nerfed Orbonne lmao. And I don't understand people who are saying "lol it was necessary". If you stopped ilvl cheese the 24-man raid roulettes, maybe you would have learned earlier how to handle mechanics on Orbonne. And iirc my last run on Orbonne, we already get the Echo from the start.

So no, it wasn't necessary.

Don't confuse hard with punishing here.

24-Man content should not have 'one person messes up, everyone suffers' mechanics like those from the Thunder God, as they are VERY frustrating to deal with once this happens.

TGC was definitely not as hard as savage content. You could limp your way through that fight since there is no hard enrage but as always, rather than players attempting to learn the fight and improve they drool over their keyboards until SE nerfs it into the ground.

Having a slightly more challenging alliance raid was fun while it lasted I guess.

[Chrysalis_Zolwe]

They need to add a minimum ilevel roulette or something already so I can actually experience content when they nerf everything, it will never be the original but hey at least I'll have to use my brain a little bit.
