Crystalline Conflict is the least fun I've had playing this game.

No thanks. And abilities that burn HP is one of the worst design ideas ever.

To each their own, I've played games with functions like these before and it worked fine. Even within FFXIV we have playstyles like Double Edge L Warrior in Eureka or Irregular Essence with Aethershield, Font of Power and some Auto Potion in Bozja to circumvent the extreme damage intake. Those are similar to HP spending since you lower your effective HP for either of these.

HP spending just tacked on would be awful, but designing the kit around it does work even in PVE.

Alas can't expect the community to be willing to accept obscurity. I suppose we need to dumb down kits further.

And by least, I mean that it isn't fun at all!

I really expect better of you guys and I'm so disappointed. It feels like you threw this mode together without even considering the issues that would crop up. You touted this as a new fun PvP that would fix all the problems of Feast, but in the end you didn't fix any of them.

Finally got my Raigo pony and the Archdemon coffer so I never have to touch this god awful mode again. Thank god for that...

……….it’s one of those things…….you CANNOT please everyone.

It wouldn't matter in pve because healers will just heal you instantly making it a pointless concept, but in pvp is an idiotic concept. You shouldn't lose HP for using an ability, especially in a game mode where the TTK is already low. Warriors literally can't use oregany outside of LB because its just killing you faster, especially after the bloodwhetting nerf.

6.0 endwalker pvp maybe is not you cup of tea. However is good to see dev team did some change.
To me mostly problem with pvp is server latency and netcode and purify/guard delay. Job balance has issue however compare to 2.0 to 4.0 is far better than PVE button in PVP. Since there is no restriction with job role now queue time also a lot better compare to before with job role. Crowned control is bit overdone but is during purify frame delay and netcode.

Fair enough. I would have dropped out of CC a lot sooner and saved myself the stress, but I had GARO ponies to grind out.

God I hate FOMO...

FOMO isn't real.

[Sindele]

It's very definitely real. Claiming it's not is pushing the boundaries of absurd claims around here, which is impressive given the absurdity this forum gets up to on the regular.

That said, stressing yourself out to grind something that was last around for two and a half years and had its end announced something like six months in advance is.. questionable..

This thread alone is proof enough to me that even content like CC is subjective, because me and my friends have had some of the most fun we've had in years with Crystalline conflict- and we lose alot- but the key to our enjoyment is having learned how to get into the same instance with one another so we get to kill each other for giggles.

I guess the point I'm making is, maybe Crystalline conflict isn't for you, and you should find the content that actually makes you happy; instead of trying to force something onto yourself simply for the sake of it.

So what you're saying is that people should eat whatever bile SE drops onto their plates? Gonna have to disagree with you there buddy.

FOMO has not been recognized in any official capacity in the medical world. It's not real. People who claim to deal with FOMO in reality just have anxiety issues.

[Sindele]

I.. don't think anyone implied it was a standalone condition? It's just an increasingly common phenomenon.

That said, there are also quite literally dozens of papers discussing it and its implications for mental health treatment.
