Dodore over nerfed(and other nms too)

[Abriael]

Interesting to see that the OP feels the need to open just another thread on exactly the same topic as others he (and others) already opened. I wonder if they have been proven wrong too much there, and feel the need of an artificial clean slate?

Also, quite funny to see that he obviously (and very conveniently) forgot to mention that not all the NMs have been nerfed, as the Great Buffalo has been made considerably more powerful, with the damage it deals sizably increased.

So no. The conspiracy theory doesn't hold water. Some content has been balanced down, some up,some has been left basically unchanged. That's all there's to it. Sorry to burst a bubble, but it's up to SE to identify the target of every piece of content. Demanding that everything should be balanced over your tastes is rather petty.

Buffalo is not any easier...not by a long shot. Uraeus was already easy. Mosshorn, Dodore and Goblin just had their lacky size decreased..

[ApplePie]

Wait, when did Dodore become an HNM?

[Laughlyn]

lol...dodore.. HNM

Omg Shiyo... stfu, and give it some time. The dev's know exactly what they are doing. This game is far from finished, they have a whole new battle system coming up, new job type system, materia system, and yet you're complaining about one or two mobs being to easy... give it a damn break and let them roll out the systems they have planned, and then if it's not better you can start complaining.

Dude... The combat system is hard enough for people. If they did NM's like WoW bosses, only a small handful of people would be anywhere near skilled enough to kill them. Plus theyd have to do something about all the 'not-being-able-to-move-while-performing-and-action' stuff first.

There's a reason I said that combat would need to be tweaked or changed. You can't have a boss like Heigan the Unclean or Nefarian or (heaven forbid) any of the bosses from Ulduar because the current character movement would make it very hard to move about as needed.

I play final fantasy XIV because it is not WoW, WoW is easy mode ZERG, and sit in city.

blah blah blah "you didn't raid if you think WoW is easy" and yes, yes i did back in vanilla WoW when the game was bearable and actually difficult.

i guess the 5 person party with 1 mage that dropped the buffalo 3 times today were just that good. i can vouch for it because i was there. the buffalo is not harder by any stretch.

I love you <3 I always agree with everything you say, every single word! ^-^

Yes, it makes me sad, I say that all the time about video games. It makes me so sad, I might have to quit video games ;_;

I DO NOT want to solo! Solo is boring! I hate soloing, I play MMOs for teamwork and partying and playing with other players, its STUPID that they want to encourage soloing! Sigh >_< I want challenging party based teamwork based gameplay.

I think its more the Nostalgic Community that kills the Games.
There is no better Game than the One you loved before the new ones, its common.
Solo is pretty much for the Casuals and as long as they dont overdo it there is no problem with that but i agree, Solo is boring, leves are boring (well Solo though), so it fits and i think that is enough of Solo content.
Most Hardcore people seem to tend to mistake what Casuals want and what not.
Im neither Hardcore or Casual but a Game should be Challenging.

I don't think they're ever going to add challenging hardcore content tbh.

Omg, i hope they will add Challenge, i dont want a 3d Chat that eats my PC Hardware.

What one must consider is the difficulty of Dodore when you don't have a THM in the party. With the full number of minions with only 8 people in the party and no THM I believe it may take considerably longer to kill the NM. They can't balance content with the assumption that every party will have a THM as that's just not balanced.

To increase the difficulty of the Dodore battle they don't need to add more minions. They just need to improve the AI of the mobs so that they always move into closer range.
