The Will of the Moon

[Kurando]

You can tell the OP is trolling when you click on their profile and it states they enjoy playing AST. And suddenly they have an issue playing as a healer in one simple duty, seriously....

If i ever had to replay one of those, I'd quit.

I'm guessing you quit games very easily.

4 button too hard pls Nerf to 3 button

3 button too hard pls Nerf to 2 button

2 button too hard pls Nerf to 1 button

1 button too hard pls Nerf to cutscenes

Cutscenes too ez make hardcore unskipable

I don't its very hard for me to quit games. However some things I just wont stand for. if my reason for playing is being invalidated every few quests I won't stick around I'll find some game which doesn't pull that ****

I agree with you . I have just cancelled my subscription because of this quest . I didn't have any problem with Sadu in the first part but its when I played Y'shtola I ran into problems . Whatever I did I just couldn't do enough damage in that last minute before the meteor drops . I eventually decided to do it on very easy mode just because I couldn't be bothered being frustrated anymore . On that mode its a cakewalk until you get to that last minute and I still had the same problem I just couldn't kill that last boss . If it had been my own character I wouldn't have minded so much I would have just gone and got some better gear and kept attempting it but given its Y'shtola I couldn't do that . Looking around online it seems a lot of people have quit because of this quest . If you go to very easy mode there should never be a situation where you can't complete a quest that is part of the main storyline . I couldn't advance so I quit the game.

Perhaps in early content, or via some means of failing the content (perhaps echo), there would be enhanced markers. So like a green healer icon marker point to the person. Or on a related note perhaps sometimes role specific markers, like tank buster for tanks is oh gawd red, but for healers it's heal me green. The fight wasn't challenging if you had a sense of what to do, imo, but via a means that isn't too in your face initially it might be helpful for some players.

Could be a new general feature, if echo is available and perhaps also if the team / person dies, libra is unlocked - which greatly enhances combat awareness (and perhaps could be a soft in-game defense against some of the more powerful third party tools). So like cleave attacks would be marked, unmarked attacks.. are now marked, spread markers have improved readability (so you know not to stack the AoEs), etc. The unfortunate part being someone would have to go label those contents properly now lol.

Let's pull an "In From the Cold" on it! Do it, you cowards! :^)

If you look at the character information of those posting in the thread about it being too hard, you'll see that most of them made it to level 80 or 90 so it seems like few actually ended up quitting. Instead they stuck with it until they beat it.

If the game in general has stopped being fun for you, I can understand quitting. But you shouldn't let this one single fight get you down.

First help Hien kill the add attacking him to get it out of the way so you can both focus the boss. Try to keep the boss pointed away from Hien so he's not hit by AoEs.

Now, when you say meteor are you thinking of the axes? The first set is easy - just kill the one in the middle. For the second set, follow Hien. He's going to use a LB to destroy one of them once you move to him (he's going to have a huge arrow over his head, hard to miss). After the second set, it should automatically move into the ending mechanic that Y'shtola handles on her own.

I'm not a fan of the RP encounters myself but they're not that frequent fortunately. Don't be afraid to go to YouTube, enter the quest name and watch the encounter so you know what to expect and perhaps can see some tricks on how to complete them easier.

The only RP encounter so far I've truly enjoyed. Kind of ironic considering how much hate it gets from players who otherwise like the RP encounters.

The only one I really can't stand is the one in Ahm Araeng in Shadowbringers. Don't want to spoil it due to people in this thread who haven't gotten anywhere near it yet, but it drags on way too long.

It's a good idea, maybe on very easy mode it's enabled.

My friend has been stuck on this darned quest for more than a year now. I think he's pretty much given up ever getting it completed. So we spend most days with him tanking Gazelleskin maps (duoing them with me as a healer) or running unsynched extremes (same, duo with me as healer).

He just can't get into his head he needs to heal, and how to do that. Despite me trying to explain. And it's weird as he has no problems throwing a heart of ___ on me in an extreme. Just something about being yifftola freezes his brain. So yeah, I'd love to move on in the game, but yeah, can't do that until he completes "Will of the Moon".

But honestly, I wonder if just splitting this (and others like it) into 2 parts would make it easier.
