MSQ Capstone Fights - iLvl requirement set too high & fights skip content as a result

Decrease the max ilv for Endsinger, and while we're at it, decrease the max ilv of Thordan, LotA, and Syrcus Tower.

I don't think you realize what a joke the fight are, they die in like a 2mins instead of there initial design of probably 6 mins.

MSQ are design with initial ivl requirements for each lvl cap 70/80 etc. At each lvl cap, 3 tiers of gear are released and players going in with highest tier gear will absolutely melt the end boss because it was meant to be kill with itial ivl tier.

I mean even as far back as Heavensward the game's fights became more colourful where little moments, not just cutscenes, made the fight more memorable. If people are genuinely into the game for story they should appreciate the feelings and colour that are created by a fight that runs its full duration with all the little "hahaha, I have you now" moments from the boss, or time to savour the physical designs of bosses. Imagine if Seat of Sacrifice melted like Thordan.

Just slowing down the DPS vs boss health ratio isn't suddenly going to make these fights impossible, just last an extra minute or two which is all the time needed for the to fully feel the epicness. I did a Stormblood fight the other day and man, barely even got to see the fight, just a wait? what? moment.

It's sucks that now you can beat Endsinger before the banger (chorus) even starting...

Prove it. Lets see a vid of that happening.

Why don't you do it by yourself? Everyone and their moms already proved it...

The 2nd phase of that instance cant be skipped. We both know it, so really, no.

Mate: word of advice? If you play " to be envied" or if you play OUT of envy? You need a BIG perspective check. One does not play any video game to "show off" how much gear you have..we had that back in WOW, with players "hard parking" to show off how leet they were, so people would ooh and ahhh at their "epic armour"

Which led me to ask one of these...people..if they were wearing the armour and weps...or if the armour and weps were wearing THEM. If you raid to be no more than a glorified clothes horse..then thats a reality check for you. I dont "envy" anyone in a video game, nor do i really CARE.

I could if I choose, pick up a savage static, ive been invited at least twice, so no, Saraide, there is no "envy" of any kind...I, like many others, are way past that kind of childish behaviour. My measure of a person is more on the lines of not what they wear, or what achievements or content they have done..I measure people on who they are. How they treat others.

You might want to consider that...mmmkay?

Yup, posts like that really show how "little" you care. As does you showing up to antagonize in pretty much every thread about raiding. Truly only someone who doesnt care would put so much effort into posting. Keep coping.

This reads like someone high on copium, who is trying to convince themselves by saying "those high end raiders aren't better than me, I'm definitely good enough to do what they do, I just don't want to.". I'm not necessarily endorsing any allegations of jealousy, but if you're trying to convince people that you're not envious, you're failing. Might wanna reconsider the choice of wording.

I get the feeling that they either know it's true and they just wanna be a contrarian, or they just haven't done Endsinger normal in the past 6-8 months. To be fair, I've only gotten it once in trial roulette in the past 6 months so wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.

There's a compromise in between min iLvl and max iLvl, and it's at the first tier of endgame gear available for that part of MSQ.

For Endsinger, that'd be about iLvl 570-580. Higher than the dungeon gear people could have picked up from Dead Ends, but not the 630 that most players are equipped with.

Using CT as the example, ilLvl 90-100 would be a good compromise, not the 135 that someone wearing augmented ironworks would roll in with.
