The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

[Xaruko_Nexume]

I fail to see how it is a controversial complaint that orange circles on an orange floor can be hard for some people to see. Months later and I still have to squint my eyes and really struggle to see some circles in this game, and the last boss of that dungeon does stand out.

Prance is cake. You only need to focus on the first circle and watch where Ra La goes after that. Go the other way and wait for the 1st to pop. I think they intentionally did it that color to present a challenge. If you get something that actually contrasts, it becomes way too easy.

I don't find the prancing hard, I just find seeing all that yellow to be a major annoyance and as I said in my original post an eyestrain. If I ever do get a chance to get to p3 savage I am sure as hells skipping it. You can make mechanics hard to see w/o making some people's eyes bleed.

That's exactly my issue with p3s and why it's my least favourite fight of the tier by a good margin and the reason I considered a shader for the first time since starting with FFXIV.
E6s was bad enough but apparently they learned nothing and designed another fight with that colour scheme even after receiving lots of feedback that all the orange-on-orange is an eyesore. I like some mechanics on p3s, not my favourite mechanic-wise but it has some good parts - but if I have a headache after a raid, it was almost always after an evening where we spent lots of time on p3s because it strained my eyes.
It's not a conscious "Aaahhh my eyes are getting burned make it stoooop" but rather a subtle, constant strain for me. And it's entirely because of the godawful colour scheme and saturation. It doesn't make the mechanics more difficult or interesting in any way, it only makes it an eyesore. That's it.

Wait, heroes gauntlet was hard?

First boss in Gauntlet is a pain, tbh, but doable.

Last boss has a couple mechanics that are def different to most dungeon bosses, but it's only really an issue on your first run. Once you figure out to stay inside the rock pile and then that you can avoid rampage by going into one of the craters, he's fine.

[redheadturk]

My issue with the last two bosses in Dead Ends is the lack of contrast for the last one and the unclear cues to how the mechanic works for the second one until you've done it a few times.

The Dead Ends is the only dungeon to make me physically cry with emotions.

That's all I have to add, have a good day everyone.

Sorry to say but, skill issue.

I haven't wiped in dead ends doing expert roulette in months.

i don't think it's at all hard tbh... although it's weird they worked so hard to make the aoe indicators consistent across the board to the point of reworking old dugneons to use them only to then throw a bunch of brand new ones in your face at the last dungeon. why try and make them all consistent only to them spring a bunch of new ones on players?

tho for real prance is very, very easy. you get a massive amount of time and can just run to the 1st one and then walk to the 2nd, 3rd and then 4th in the order they appear. so. idk. i figured more people would complain about the 1st or the 2nd boss than the last, honestly.

[Midareyukki]

It's not hard. You just need to have a bit more awareness than the average dungeon, but it's basically no different than the Shiva ice drops\Tsukuyomi's Zashiki Asobi.

I'm colourblind. Mt Gulg was hell, P3S is even worse. Prance isn't that bad. The colours may blend if you have a different sort of colourblindness, but it's got a glowy effect that makes it noticeable enough. P3S is just daft, there's no comparison.
