They are catering ultimates to casuals like they did with Elden Ring.

some people just dont like to be happy I guess.

How to tell everyone you've never played elden ring without saying you've never played elden ring.

How to tell people you don't play video games anymore without saying you don't play video games anymore.

Not to you Angry I'm just adding to your qoute as I agree.. but I yeah. I stated my opinion.

You're describing a warp point, not a checkpoint.

They're effectively the same thing in the particular situation I described. The only difference being if it was a warp point you would actually have to do something, like walk into it, click it.

A warp point moves you from A to B as you move through a dungeon. A checkpoint saves your progress at a certain stage so you don't have to start over if you fail. They are not the same thing.

Intial fight>thoridan>Estinien no check point between thoridan and Esty. No one should be saying how difficult a fight is until after they have cleared it themselves.

This patch is the biggest slap in the face in all of ffxiv. Ultimate raids are supposed to be the highest expression of skill in this game. They're the best designed fights in any mmorpg, and they're the one thing this game had on WoW. And what does sqenix do? Put in a checkpoint like I'm playing new super mario bros with my baby cousins. They purposefully delayed this. Multiple times. E8S was supposed to be bis for this ultimate, except it wasn't. They said that they had to delay content because of covid, and they prioritized other things. That's fine. But then E12S came and went, and still no ultimate. Then we were told Endwalker was on the way, and there were bigger fish to fry. If any of you are unaware, here's a handy little chart:




Mark my words, this is the move that will kill their game

In case you didn't catch the memo, this is, in fact, a game made for casuals.

until this fight is cleared, its too early to judge if the checkpoint is neccessary

[hagare]

... nono wait.. I have to hear how this relates to elden ring somehow?

Because people say that elden ring is the easiest out of all the souls game.

[Ivtrix]

I’m waiting to see the fight in its entirety to make a judgement call on how we feel about it.

Gonna be a while tho we just saw p1 enrage last night
