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

[genuine_stranger]

I'm not seeing an increase of difficulty in "normal" content either. Not to say it isn't fun, but this is still the same easy mechanics we've always had in normal mode. Some of the normal Eden fights would destroy these mechanics, judging by how many times I see people get deleted by the shadowdog, and Dadcred.

While it may not seem like casual content got harder, it definitely became faster and a bit more chaotic. You now have to press your buttons while paying attention to ongoing AOEs, the castbar, and the environment more than in the previous expansion. In my opinion, this is a noticeable change.

While it may not seem very different for people who do harder content, it is a step up from the usual brain-dead fights and is definitely the right direction moving forward.

If casual content suddenly had a huge difficulty spike, many subscribers would leave in frustration.

Although Savage is cleared in hours, there will still be players who will take more time just to prog/clear one savage fight. At the end of the day, as long as players have fun and/or are satisfied with the Savage fights have to offer, the fast clear time would not matter.

Lol except this tier is more of the same slop of "light party" "in/out" "near/far" "stack/spread" recycled bonanza.

If the turn is fun

But it's not fun lol. It's more of the same formulaic slop we've been seeing for 10 years. Only M2 barely tried to go beyond the formula. I mean, more power to you if you find "in/out" "stack/spread" "proteans/pairs" or the million permutations of debuff soup raidplan mechs that can be boiled down to a glorified test of remembering "get X: go to Y" interesting.

for M4s we didn’t see the enrage cast but it was a clean pull (no deaths/damage down) + full pentameld/new pots/new food, the 4th turn is probably slightly undertuned in terms of dps check (yet still, does the last fight need to remain very strict to be fun or even hard?) but I had a lot of fun

My static didn't see enrage and cleared with 5 deaths. The DPS check is non-existent, not just undertuned. I know friends from AG3 and they told me pentamelding was completely unnecessary.

You are fortunate to have a static to begin with. Most players don't have the benefit of a static for high-end content. As a result, they would have to pug and take the risk of failing the easier savage mechanics because one player was in the wrong spot at the wrong time due to coordination issues.

Didn't they already effectively admit to having undertuned the fight(s) DPS-wise? So it's not like it was completely.. Intended.

What does that have anything to do with how boring this tier is.

Yes, but you'll have FF14 fanboys defending the error in this thread even when Yoshi P said it's literally a mistake and they won't do it again (/doubt)

I was not replying to how you felt that the tier is boring. I quoted you because you cleared the fight in a relatively short time compared to the average player.

Everyone is clearing this tier much faster, PF and statics.
