New players in Heavensward

[Drako]

We will need to wait and see what the patch notes look like. It might relax a lot of our concerns.

I'm sure this game that is infamous for dragging people kicking and screaming through old content will do a sudden u-turn and leave all the new players to rot thus sealing the fate of the game as a whole and bringing it to ruin. Oh wait, I don't think that will happen at all.

I'll be rotting away back in the old days, I'll get em all through to pass them on to you guys in your fancy new lands.

Didn't they say new dungeons will be added to the 1-59 LLDR, also known as leveling roulette?

[Nadirah]

Its not the dungeons. Its the 8 player trials.

*Those* are what has folks worried.

No one likes Castrum or westwind as it is.

Just a note:
I am helping a friend try to catch up. She is just completed "Let US Cling Together." Now onwards to the last patch.....
NOPE! To even start the arc of "Before the Fall" she was to go and do Titan, Garuda, and Ifrit in hard mode. Why? The is no freaking reason why a new player should have to do these. It is not apart of the MSQ. There is no precious "Lore" that supports her having to be stopped in the MSQ to do these fights. At least we have a good FC that will help her punch these out. so it is really 13 Trials, and 3 are not apart of the sacred Story.
New players are NOT going to be happy campers trust me.

Three fights that can be cleared in 5 minutes or less, introduce slightly harder mechanics, and drop pretty weapons that MIGHT even be a temporary upgrade for such new players. When you consider the grind that the game eventually involves, is this something to really be upset about?

[CYoung187]

They have found ways to avoid this problem so far, i doubt that will cease to continue.

What can be done vs what is done are two totally different things. With everyone over geared, yes five minutes or less. New players in for the first time, vote abandon. Did a ton of Titan HM more often its way longer than 5 minutes.

Also back when people actually queued for trial roulette, but every sense they added storms of fate, its a completely different ball game.
