Please scale the difficulty of Royal Menagerie

[Rokke]

I see your point but..

If the majority of fails is due to falling off then an echo buff or over-gearing would not make this fight any easier unless people are dying on the DPS checks. Which is why I recommended adding group synergy moves to mitigate falling off, rather than the current individual blame game. Sure overgear would make the fight take less time and deal with less mechanics, but then if most mechanics can be bypassed or ignored due to power creep. I would argue the fight still ended up being easier in the end.

If new group mechanics were added they would not require a brand new fight since we already have a bunch of re-used mechanics in fights now. If anything, it would make future content more dummy proof and require less work if any introduced mechanics had a clear information tell.

That said, I don't think this fight is too difficult and can be overcome. The question is can everyone complete the MSQ before that point comes where they just say screw it and eject to a different game.

This fight has obvious tells to the mechanics. The tidal wave gives you time to move to safety. The aero has the green ring in the center. The fly over has the GIGANTIC aoe marker. The tail smash has an arrow over someone's head. The fire has a castbar + the odd puddle on the stage. Its not the healers or the tanks or the dps' job to keep derps from falling off the stage. If you pay attention, you won't get knocked off- its really that easy. As it is many of the new fights (including this one!) are already dummy proof in the sense that multiple deaths do not inherently equal a wipe.


According to famitsu 89% of new players beat RM their first run. The fight doesn't need adjusting, people just need to actually be awake at the wheel.
