    Just wait until release and when it does you'll be horribly disappointed.

    The upcoming dungeons are estimated to be, in a nutshell, "really hard". I also confirmed the dungeon boss's difficulty with the dev team.

    If you ever hope to defeat The Dzemael Darkhold dungeon boss, you will need to clearly assign roles amongst your specialized party of 8 rank 50 players. Furthermore, you can't just think of the boss as just a strong version of an ordinary monster. You will need to use special, boss-specific strategies to achieve victory.

    I haven't played it myself yet, but I am looking forward to it
    Sounds like it could be that we'll have to perform incapacitations in order to kill him. This would tie each party member to a specific role (attack right, left, etc.) and also require a "specialized party" (to target specific areas). I hope there's more to it, though.

    Hi Lautus,

    Yah, I hope so, too. Perhaps the Boss inhibits the party in certain ways, maybe there are different phases to the fight. It could use different Elemental Defenses throughout (something like what the Pudding do already in the game), or more.

    This is the first major content patch under Yoshida-san, so I'm holding out hope it's good.

    SE version of really hard is Pandemonium Warden, Absolute Virtue, Vrtra, U/O fight, etc....

    When SE says something is hard, especially since this is compromised of a lot of old XI devs, it will be hard...

    Hi Gath,

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I would be pleasantly shocked (in a good way) if the Boss of The Dzemael Darkhold was as hard or harder than Absolute Virtue.

    Or maybe give us a more tactical version of the hard Emerald & Ruby Weapon.

    AV = unbeatable for a couple years(except from the first glitched times) so i dunno if people would like it harder

    SE's version of really hard = Overly difficult and complex... I mean, have you played FFXI and tried to battle Absolute Virtue?... I'm pretty sure no one really figured out the way to kill him without glitches for like a good 6 months or so... Probably longer if I remember correctly

    I'm just going to go ahead and say the midlevel content will be a joke. A bigger one that the R50 dungeon.
