From the sound of it, you'll never need to reset SoF. Literally everything about it was nerfed.

I'm seriously disappointed with the nerf to Steps of Faith. It seems that everything besides Coil has to be idiot proof these days. Because expecting people to direct, listen and follow extremely simple tactics is too much to ask for. It's better to save those communication skills to complain on the forums.

And yes, I've done it via DF quite some times, explaining it and directing people. Sooo hard, I know. Helping in the ROULETTE without being paid for a carry? Madness, I say!

Square, it would be better if you gift people their 10 tomestones just for logging into the game. It's going to save you time nerfing things.

Holy shit! I expected a nerf on steps of faith. But this is a HUGE nerf.

All they needed to do was either increase the cannon dps. Or lower the adds hp. Going full nerf mode on this by lowering dps+health of boss + adds. Makes this a bit ridiculous. I guess they really want steps of faith to not become a roadblock.

Why do people even care about the Steps of Faith nerf?

Normally I hate when they make content easier just because some bad players can't beat it, but it's a story trial without any loot or anything... I completed it on the 2.55 release day, and only did it once more after that. Unless you do the trial roulette, there is no reason for you to even bother with that fight, so why even care?

You have to remember that there is a lot of new players preparing for Heavensward right now, and it's not just the bad players that could get left behind. Even the good players can be left behind because of other bad players, and players that don't have patience...

They could have just implemented the vote reset so ppl wouldn't QQ about it being nerfed to the floor.
See this is what SE likes to do lol
And now ppl will also be disappointed when they see the news for headstart of new relic in 3.0.
Surprises me that se didn't add a reset in all those nerfs.

It was probably more trouble to add the reset than it was to nerf the encounter, since we don't have a manual reset in any other encounter in the game. Lowering damage values is much more simple.

Damn it, you beat me to it while I was typing my own entry. -hehe-

hehe yeah.
I'm actually quite happy with the level of testing the current team engages in. It takes longer (other games would have a hotfix in for SoF within 2 weeks) but what we get actually works.
Sure there's still bugs, but it's an MMO.
Which is why i crawl down peoples' throats when they suggest super complex ideas for the game. Everything added to the game MUST be tested, and retested, and tested again with as many permutations as possible. There's a reason they started developing outfits for the Au Ra almost a year before even announcing them.
