Wasn't new Savage supposed to be easier than first?

[Ryo-Yuki]

Finally overcoming a major obstacle in a game after a few hours? Yeah, that's definitely rewarding and can be a lot of fun.

But weeks? That's ridiculous and I know a lot of people aren't doing it for fun, which is what a gaming is supposed to be about. Hardcore raiding is toxic in a lot of ways.

But don't be so thinskinned it's just one guy's opinion.

Different strokes for different folks.

The ilvl went up an entire 31 levels(assuming i245 weapon will push and extra) and the stuff hasn't been out for an entire 4 days its not the end of the world.

Expect the raid groups to have trouble. Also there lots of gearing up to do and Sephirot weapons to get. That means more DPS.

I know Zay is a troll and all, but how do you confuse the words "Savage" and "Easy"?

Edit. Btw A6S cleared a hf an hour before I posted this.

It was said, the DPS checks will not be that hard again.

Well, like a week in patch and A7savage is down. Guess its a proof of easier DPS checks
But i'm disappointed about Sephirot EX difficulty.

It was never said it was going to be easier.

Only that there would be a lesser focus on "dps checks". Which is something the game needed to move away from.

I would hope then that the people struggling to clear it are failing the mechanical / survival sides of the fights. And not simply struggling to clear dps checks,

We knew from the start that Sephirot EX was going to be easier than Thordan EX.

Like hard content? Do it.
Dont like hard content? Dont do it.
Pretty much that simple. Which reminds me, Didnt a lot of people avoid Coil Savage?

[FeliAiko]

"Easier than [the] first" doesn't mean an absence of difficulty. The difference here is that it's more mechanics-driven over DPS, and even then it doesn't mean there's no DPS checks within said mechanics either.

Also i220 pentamelded isn't the equivalent to i240 gear. That would make no sense.

[Andevom]

Well, now that A7S has been cleared, I'd say it's pretty apparent this is easier than Gordias was for the top tier groups. Obviously less gear dependent, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily looser DPS checks, just more...the DPS checks aren't insurmountable without better gear.
