[Petition] Change the fruits in Aurum Vale. No one wants to go to AV.

[therpgfanatic]

I have tanked everything up to Turn 4, but I'm pretty sure Aurum Vale is the worst dungeon in the game. I and other players refuse to go into it. I absolutely despised this encounter when I had to go through it as part of the story mode, and any time DF comes up with it I wait the timer out to abandon.

The problem is the first boss fight. I and many other players use the Playstation 3 version of the game. This means we're playing with a controller.



It is nearly impossible to select a fruit to remove the debuff stacks using a controller. This is because the game's target selection system has a horrid habit of attempting to select fruits that are out of range of your character (even at the back of the room!) before you can select the fruit sitting directly in front of your character. As a tank, I tend to die or lose aggro while trying to select a fruit sitting right in front of me.

The first time I attempted this dungeon, I wiped numerous times. People kept abandoning. I spent 4 hours trying to clear the dungeon until I finally managed to get super lucky and click on a fruit to clear the debuffs. Once.

For the good of the game, please change the way the fruits operate in the Locksmith fight. Make it so a character can walk into the fruit in order to trigger the cleanse effect.

There is no reason for the difficulty of the encounter to be based on the algorithm flaws of the targeting system for console players.

Anyone who agrees, please speak up and maybe the developers will listen. This is such a minor fix that could make a huge difference. This is the only part of the game where it was clear I had to have a mouse.

Edit: Do not respond giving advice about changing filters. Obviously if I am talking about the game selecting a fruit that is no where near my character, my filters are set to be able to select the fruits. That isn't the issue.
