its the new boss fight, its not better it sucks, no one was asking for harder msq content. they made very punishing, before if a someone was new and under geared the rest of the group could carry them through and you wouldn't be stuck in that crap hole for a hour. now it just sucks.

Thats not the approach you should be taking, and is a player problem not a game problem. The new fight isn't even that hard, if you're rolling up under geared to the point that you need a hard carry through content then there is an answer to that. Gear up.

Which is absolutely incorrect. There are many players that have been asking for MSQ content to be increased in difficulty.

Normally i disagree with them but when it comes to the original versions of the initial expansion level cap duties, I usually agree. It's an awkward experience when new players do the level 59/69/79 dungeons and ilvl sync places the party at an appropriate ilvl for the dungeon then turns around at the first level 60/70/80 dungeon and ilvl syncs the party to X.5 ilvls instead of starting X.0 ilvls so it's faceroll. Those duties end up a letdown for what should be the more memorable moments of the MSQ.

Now Ascian Prime feels like an Ascian Prime (comparable to the player level) where in the past it was "I thought Ascians were supposed to be powerful and dangerous, this was easy". You can still carry that one player through the duty if the rest know what they're doing. Right now, we're still in the learning period as players who haven't been in the duty since the change get used to the new mechanics. As more learn them, runs will go more smoothly.

If you're struggling, use Duty Support to practice. The NPCs know what to do, learn from them.

so you can't just zone out and ignore mechanics like it's Crystal Tower, therefore it's bad? you and i have different ideas of what "bad content" is.
