So what is this about content becoming harder with the Savage cleared in 9 hours

Scroll up. We've got PFs on 4. That's pretty damn telling that in 24 hours, even PFs are on 4, when that wouldn't even have been a world first.

Yes, I saw. And this is what my PF looks like right now:

Who cares. WoW catered to World First Races and look how that turned out.

The depressing part is I feel like a lot of the people wanting drastic changes to 14 are people who are "WoW refugees" but then they want Squeenix to change everything to be just like that game they ditched.

I know this will come as a shock.. but the game is designed to be beaten. Last time it wasn't designed to be beaten, we got Gordias...

I really don't think difficulty or the length of the world's first race matters at all.

FFXIV has a fundamental content design problem in that everything is instanced, scripted, with samey jobs and daily or weekly lockouts. You learn the fight once on Tuesday, you log off until next Tuesday to run it again because what the hell else are you going to do for the next six months until the next content update?

Just to put it in perspective for me, what's the normal cleartime for a savage on day 1?
Thanks

12 to 14 hours more or less

also the "content becoming harder" is for casual content not for high end content

[CaedemSanguis]

20-30 hrs

2nd/3rd tier take 30-35hours, first tier is 12-14hours usually

Fact 1. The Devs promised harder content.
Fact 2. The same skill level of player that cleared the previous content cleared this content in half or even a third of the time it took to clear previous raid tiers.

Conclusion: The game did not, in fact, get harder. And with equal skill level, got easier.

These are not stretches of logic, these are not assumptions. These are actual facts. It's not like these players suddenly got double or triple the skill level they already had.

half/third of the usual time

from 12 to 9 or 14 to 9 ? xd

Fact 0. You dont know shit

"But it's only easy for the highest end raiders!"

meanwhile, Isala didn't even clear m1s

Cleared first fight and progging second. The difficulty is about what I expected for the first of the expansion, I kinda assumed they might be conservative with difficulty as well given their switching up of mechanics. Give players a tier to experience and adjust to a new style of encounters.

Honestly really enjoying them so far! A breathe of fresh air for me personally. I don't need savage to be difficult enough to make a long world first race, It's nice to watch but I rather savage is enjoyable for a majority of the playerbase.

I expect the next tier will have more difficulty and a longer race, looking forward to doing the rest of this tier over the next few days.
