Isn't it a bit disheartening whats on the Horizon to all Hw content?

[bswpayton]

What I mean by this is I haven't used the feature yet, but just a glance at pf just makes me sad of whats to come. Many will disagree but I'm really worried that unsync is gona take over this game and just become the standard for everything once storm blood comes out to just face role everything.

I understand progression and all and wanting to do the latest content , but I still view this game as a complete game. I mean I may be an extreme case but for instance if I run say a extreme primal on one tank, Id wana see how I could do it with each job that I'm decent at not even so much for gear just as a way to see If I'm doing a decent job. I know everyone isnt like this, but it just sucks to no that anybody coming to the game will basically have the option of unsync face roll or get in sync parties and see people leave after one mistake. If I was playing any other game I would expect to be able to legitly do any content that is in the game, but as time goes on that will be less and less likely to happen.

I just wish that SE would give some incentive other than wt to create an experience for those whom want it, to be able to do sync content to see how they fair and give extra rewards for those who have done it already. But we are talking about 75 percent of a game that with jump potion, and unsync that will be a totally worthless for anyone that wants to face challenges that those before them once did. Im seeing stuff like Sastasha (Hard), keeper of the lake unsync stuff that could literally take 15 to 20 mins in party finder unsync. This is what will become of everything hw and its a bit disheartening but I know most will disagree but yea theirs progression but I know in other games people have no issue with the same content, and to an extent they dont here. Hence the roulettes , so maybe SE could put in a pool all the extreme primals , or something and make it a roullete and give great awards to allow some players to have somewhat of a real experience in clearing the content instead of just face rolling it.

...once storm blood comes out to just face role everything.

Heck yes! Bring on the unsynched bird farms!

I didnt say turn off unsync , I just wish it was a way to have both , I love the videos of people soloing primals I think thats awesome Id like to try myself sometime. But what Im saying is for anyone who starts playing the game and wants to do the content we are enjoying now they will just be out of luck.

I don't mind it at all, because I see it in a fairly simple way:

If the content was more fun synced than unsynced, people would run it synced all the time every time. So people who would rather not do it synced will get more value out of the content with unsynced.
Meanwhile, the people who do find it more fun to run it synced can still do that, they just need to find 7 like-minded people across the entire data center - we just got cross-world party finder to help with that. If they cannot find even 7 people who would also rather run that content synced, I dare say the content isn't particularly fun synced in the first place, so not much value is lost here.

If the content was more fun synced than unsynced, people would run it synced all the time every time.

I don't think so, cause just look at the community why would they want to run anything synced vs unsynced if they had the option when would take longer? Cause everyone seems to want their stuff now now now! and if it take longer then they think it should they throwing a fit cause you know gotta shave that extra 5-10 seconds off.

I don't mind it at all,

I think people are willing to take or do what is the norm more than anything, for instance if someone says in fc once stormblood is out do you wana do bismark extreme I wana do it. And then their fc member says sure lets do it unsync and will clear it for you , cause thats what happens now.

So its not a matter of if its fun , its more so a matter of it just being a trend and people coming to the game if they wana do something and the first thing their fc member says is yea will do it unsync then they arent gona put up a fight about doing it any other way. Its one of those take your option things, even if youd rather do it a different way what I was saying is maybe a roulette or something that gives really good rewards and mounts thats constant that would give everyone else incentive to do the content sync for newer players coming in.

Well to be honest, I will never run a synced Titan ever again. Like... just shoot me now.

But there are people who still like that. You may not find them in PF, but I see FC's willing to run content like that all the time.

But the first option is always unsync tho, and it will be the norm for all things not storm blood and I believe it really effects players overall play if this is all that they end up doing until they finally get to whatever extreme awaits us in stormblood.

You can't solo any hw primal to begin with. Well the only one would be ravana all of the others are designed around multiple people doing mechanics

This will be the first time I actually agree with you on something. Unsyncing is pretty awful, especially when it's almost seen as the default way to do things-- whether you're new to the instance or not. And it's only going to get worse. Nobody needed to unsync ARR instances, as they were already set to i140, which is even higher than the absolute best in slot gear available at the time!!

Unsynced needs to die or they need to stop incentivizing it and start rewarding people who actually learn and play the game, not the people who slam in their Game Genie at the first sign of trouble (or worse, before even trying at all). Wondrous Tails shouldn't have even allowed unsyncing duties (nor should it have allowed "retry" or have had nearly as many "free space" options).
