Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

[OSUBuckeye4]

This is not an issue with the difficulty of one dungeon and one trial. This is an issue with an overall lack of content in the game because the game is still very young and content is limited for everyone. It's getting a lot better as time goes by. There's a LOT of stuff you haven't done, you're just not interested in doing it. Which is okay, but you can't blame the content and you can't blame one hard dungeon for that.

I agree somewhat with this. The thing you're ignoring is that most of the new content that has been added, has been placed behind the brick walls that are Titan EX and Coil Turn 5.

I know that SE is allegedly addressing the Titan EX problem in a few weeks and allowing players to bypass it, but, it's been this way for months and a lot of damage has already been done.

I've played this game daily since Closed Beta. I still have lots of stuff to do. There is a TON of content for mainstream gamers. This idea that because a small slice of content is "reserved for troll elitists" (for a few months until they make it easier) and somehow this is ruining the game and making everyone quit isn't just wrong, it's ridiculous.

It's not that a small slice of content is reserved for the elitiests... it's that adidtional content that is released is placed behind that wall that 90% of the server can't get past.

THAT is the problem, and you keep dancing around it.

SE says, "we've added these amazing new Turns to the Coil, but, if you haven't got past T5, you can't check them out". Or, "we've added new primal EX battles that will tests your skills, come check them out!" then the player logs in and realize that if they haven't beat Titan EX, they can't access that amazing new content.

That discourages a lot of people.

You're telling me it doesn't... I know it does, because I've watched over a dozen members of the FC I'm a member of leave because they got discouraged by this very issue.



And I'm not saying nerf it and make it easy for everyone, then you're alienating your hardcore playerbase, and that's not good at all. I'm saying, add an additional story mode for people who want to experience it, but don't have the time to find a static and spend hours upon hours getting the memorization down pat. Don't offer rewards, but allow them to experience the content. That's all.

Or, make it stand-alone content and allow everyone to try and fail and experience it.

Just, don't promote all of this awesome new stuff and then have people log in and realize they can't get to any of it. That upsets people.
