This game is just way to hard...

[Linadae]

Troll or not I do feel there are too many instant/near death mechanics. I have no issues having to dodge but one tiny lag spike and you'll find yourself taking a dirt nap. Instant death/near death mechanics feel like an artificial way to inflate the difficulty of an encounter. Primals both story and hm are fine, well except for Titan (I'm sure many of us are still traumatized by the struggle to get our zenith weapons) Extreme modes however...they have taken it a little too far.

Do we REALLY need 90% of Titan's platform covered in both Landslides and bombs at the same time?

My problem isn't with difficulty it's the mechanics themselves. I feel more like we're fighting our own Latency than the boss and that's not how a boss is supposed to be.

I hate to say it but perhaps they should take a look at some of the more interesting bosses in WoW. Very few instant death mechanics (at least until the stat inflation became too high) Karazhan for instance had some fun boss battles. The Opera bosses were hilarious. I'm looking at you Wizard of Oz. That fight was pretty much controlled chaos, and another was just pure humor with the big bad wolf turning someone into a little female gnome with a red cap so he can chase them. Naturally there were more serious fights after all, Karazhan really had one of the best atmospheres in WoW to date.

He.. i was with one of those "epic good players", who constantly is posting on this forum how easy the game is, in DF the other day and well... he was not that great actually. Constantly blaming the other 7 people for his own mistakes, yelling and swearing and then left because apparently everyone but him sucked. I think some people need a reality-check lol.

Sounds about right. I haven't seen a person who has actually done all the content call this game easy, just sounds like hot air out of frustration.

IF THIS GAME IS WAY TOO HARD WHAT DO YOU CALL DARK SOULS ?

funny enough the main difficult in boss fights comes from the same stuff. huge attacks that (almost) kill you if you dont mitigate or evade them. learn the patterns and it'll become manageable. Just that FFXIV requires 8 ppl to do this at once, making it way harder for the individual, because it is beyond one's own abilities.

lol.

No, No it's not.

I played XI for 3 years. Even soloing a blm to lvl 60 is wayyyyy harder than any of the content I've done so far. Not that I'm complaining I don't need every game to be that hard but just based on my experience of playing these two games, claiming that XIV is in any way tough is kinda... funny.

Would you mind showing your Achievement Page and how many times you have beaten Coil, if you have beaten it actually and so on? According to your Gear you have not touched it yet.. which means you fall into this Category;

Oh so you're just crying about how the current hardest content in a MMO is too hard even if it's like 0.002% of the game.
Moving on nothing to see in here it seems =)

Punch Out would like a word with you as far as memorization goes.

That's hilarious. Just the other day I was telling some friends that Punch Out was just priming people for Titan EX and they didn't know it yet.

lol? I am not the one who is complaining about the actual difficulty, but sorry.. if you can not backup your statements, you are just another troll full of "hot air". I've seen tons of those Statements and they hardly come from people who have beaten the given Content. So if you want to play the "smartass" here, with some common troll-phrases go ahead, nothing i have not seen before. lol

So if you have not touched the actual Endgame, which is the only part of the Game you could consider "hard" until you get used to it, you may should not talk about it lol. kthxbye

Snip!

He stated only about the content he had done. And when someone says the game is easy, it's the overall game itself. Having 1-2 super hard fights, does not make the game super hard.

Turns out if you ignore the hard content for arbitrary reasons this game is easy, ground-breaking revelations here.
