Forked Tower: Blood Needs A Normal Mode

This isnt them saying "oops its savage"
They said "difficulty level overshot what players were expecting," or in other words, yet again, once again, another case of poor communication... at this point are we even surprised?
…
Now me saying all this doesn't mean you can't be dissatisfied with how FTB turned out, but saying they don't know how to balance content is wrong because pictomancer is a job, not content lmao. They designed FTB's mechanics exactly how they intended to, people just wanted something different.

The more I think about the two the more it seems like FTB is more along the lines of what people were hoping for from CAR: an Alliance raid only bigger and more challenging, but instead we got Cloud. lol

Then in this instance, for OC, people were expecting more CLL, Dalriada, DRN/DRS for the field op content and instead got BA the sequel. Which feels like a backwards step in the entirely wrong direction.

So I think you’re right, it definitely comes down to communication, as well as a lack of understanding of the divisions in the overall community right now, and what each type of player wants, along with understanding what kind of content could appeal to the most amount of players and even bring them together. I think Bozja, for all my dislikes of it, had that nice balance of dungeons not being too easy right away, but not being so hard that it killed the fun of it, or kept people from even attempting it. FTB fails on that.

FT provided the BA entry while offering us DRS Lite content, talk about adding insult to injury.

Had loots not been so terrible in OC, it would have given people a reason to do the content, even if there weren't an endgame dungeon/raid. Now, all phantom jobs maxing is just to get buff to your character so that perhaps one day you may go to prep and try FT.
