    Pandaemonium raids are too stressful

    I'm not having fun anymore in this game. After I died in the tenth Circle 6 times I just closed out of the game. I really want to see what happened to Themis but I'm now too scared to go into Duty Finder :/

    The raids are insane in this game and have so many mechanics thrown at you over and over again. It's so overwhelming and honestly feels unreasonably difficult for new players. They seem to be tuned for players who have played this game for years. Hopefully they make the next raids a bit less stressful.

    They will get easier as people's gear improves. The difficulty won't last. Plus, the mechanics are extremely well telegraphed in the tenth one.

    p9-11 seemed pretty well choreographed, it's 12 that turns into a real clusterfuck. and if you feel overwhelmed or unsure, it never hurts to ask any questions! most people will be glad to answer them than deride you for being a total n00blet. questions and practice (being able to press buttons without thinking so your attention is fully on what's going around you) will take you far

    Yes this. If you take a moment to observe the telegraphs and figure out what they are doing, all of the mechanics can be done on the first try or almost that. It's just the last one that is most likely going to hit you with things a bunch until you get used to it.

    They were not difficult to begin with.

    Players just have an open expectation the content in the game should fall over by looking at it.

    Seems like they only cater to raiders these days and make everything for them.

    Hate comments like this because 9/10 times SE listens and kills the difficulty. It's supposed to be challenging it's endgame.

    How to make another troll alt.

    1. Put water on it.

    2. Feed it after midnight

    Repeat steps 1 and 2 for more alts.

    Look that the OP's pic who do you think is making this thread? Just another hot take thread to stir the pot about the game being too easy by trying to make it seem hard. I don't see this as being any harder than previous raids personally. It takes a bit to learn the dance for a weekly duty.
