Actually, I thought the fight was really easy in 1.0 and found it to be slightly harder in ARR.

SMN in PvP got farked pretty hard. miasma + miasma II has been reduced to pretty much just another DOT and no more rez- Miasma is still functional but miasma II is pretty much garbage. I can't believe people were crying about this- you resurrect with so little HP 1 hit from anything will kill you. How could anyone find this OP? I understand (and expected) the miasma change, but they hit it harder than I expected. The change to reduce parties of 3 is odd, but I'll take it. It does reward bots, but it also rewards pretty much everyone else.

Even though it's just a technical update patch, there are a lot of good improvements in it. I for one am really happy about the GP recovery and retention.

Ifrit ex from 1.0 is so much harder than 2.0 Ifrit ex. >.>

Anything that was hard about ifrit ex from 1.0 was artificial. This being animation lock and lag. Mechanically and healing wise, 2.0 is a lot harder. I think the only thing that might be a bit harder in 1.0 is the dps check on the last set of nails.

Who am I fooling? These posers wouldn't touch content like that if Yoshi paid them personally.

And no I would never sit in front of my computer for hours on end fighting one boss. That's just foolish to think that time spent = difficulty.

Watch tomorrow and there will be a 40 page thread about nerfing extreme modes.

People complain about Titan all the time. Though it's still mostly HM (sometimes EM), so I guess that's where they're stuck.
It'll probably be nerfed eventually.

I don't know about how easy Thornmarch is now. I felt it was pretty fun the way it was tuned.
Yoshida put it well saying it was between Garuda HM and Titan HM. Though, it honestly required more group coordination than either of those fights.
I guess we'll see post patch. At least, it'll make for a smoother weapon farm now.
