The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

[Tint]

i'm fine with destroying fights which never were fun. like they destroyed t7. i am not paying this game to get stuck in a fight wich i absolutley hate. i have finished t9 and steps at the same day and t9 was more fun xD

there is a difference between a difficult fight wich makes fun and a difficult fight wich makes no fun...

[Nestama]

I actually really liked T7 before it was nerfed... don't even suggest Savage T7, as that is an entirely different beast (two Renauds, two Shrieks and two Venomous Tails).

[Tint]

i only know the healer-pov. and as a healer t7 was reaaally boring. and so was steps. plus all the time the people running out of heal-range, the adds will rape you and in the end you are watching helpless how everyone die. i can't run after all of them, especially if i am playing bait to lure the adds to the cannons.

Going off what Krylo said; Only one person on cannon, presumably the first Dragon Killer landed, no Snares on second, killed him before third.

Pretty much. I was on DKs so first landed, yeah. Second one I shot after he used landwaster because he was already at 11% hp and I had run all the way up there and felt like doing a slight troll (which killed at least one DPS from his jump smash) as we already won anyway. He died like. . . right after the exploding kegs.

Definitely over nerfed, but then I guess people will have no reason to leave duty anymore.

They also cut stomp damage roughly in half (I ran under one of his feet at the start to test it).

I just hope they're not now looking over Heavensward content and thinking about nerfing it before we at least get a shot at it. If they think this kind of response was needed, then they must have even less faith in the average player than I have....

Why alienate the people that put commit time to learning how to play your game? Why pander to the people that have no commitment to learning how to play your game?

The people that learned it are past it, and they're not running it again and a again for fun now. How does this alienate them, by letting bad players get the expansion?

So another instance becomes faceroll easy. It wasn't even hard to begin with, and mine and most pugs beat it in 1-3 tries. As another poster mentioned... the tension was amazing and actually made the fight interesting for once.

Only thing needed was a reset instance option.

As much as I liked SoF, I have to agree. People are going to be buying heavensward for heavensward content, and the way many people were abandoning the instance(and the new people within) would've been a lousy scenario ending experience just like Praetorium.

Also the original ilvl for this is i90, correct? How many of us "OG SoF pro-folk" actually went in bearing zeniths and antique gear? A few, maybe. The vast majority went in with poetics and soldiery gear. I would love to see if this is still hard when the lowest ilvl options in 3.0 come out.

Until then, I'm glad people are not getting sectioned off from ishgard by the ragequitters. We don't need another sour note of a finale wrought by how we treat each other.

^ 100% this!

Fixed.

I'm sad how people's opinions can literally destroy all the fun because "they can't beat it", having a huge pack of people who actually beat it behind them.
