The MSQ Endwalker Trial Bosses are WAY too hard for newer players to FFXIV

I hope you rekindle some interest, but if it’s not fun, you really shouldn’t force yourself.

That said, I don’t think this is a you problem here- they tried to do a lot of different things in Endwalker (and to be fair, each expansion). A lot of times things just don’t work and are tweaked to be easy once the expansion is old. In EW, they tried many very new ways to play and a big problem I would argue is the directions were unclear or just straight bad on how to do it.

Fortunately they are far and few between, but they are draining! I distinctly remember the solo fight against Zenos in Yanxia being a burn out for me. Took way too long… I thought “oh ok, it’ll end when I get him to 90% I guess….” Nope….

Yeah - it is definitely more a 'me' problem and I was certainly never "callling for major nurfs" as the post previous to this states (although I'll acknowledge the comment wasn't directed toward me specifically).

Anyway, I think I'll continue this discussion in a thread I created to too long ago, which was more specific to this issue being around me being apallingly bad at the game rather than this being some game-related issue.

Well, take heart at least that my wife is in the same boat as you. Our group all love her, but she is near dead weight when it comes to anything new. She needs to take a lot of time to get comfortable and gets easily upset or grumpy at failing mechanics. If you did that solo thing in Garlemald, she cleared it after 3 days, and once clear she took a week break.

And that is 100% ok. The good news is that for her (and you), the game does gradually just get easier with tweaks in patches, or just being geared above the content. No worries, and good luck!
