Excluding Players from Ultimate Savage is Not the Right Move

[Keridwyn]

Wait so they locked the absolute hardest content in the game behind the almost hardest content in the game?

That seems...normal. I mean it's not as if you're going to need the gear and skills gained in one to beat the other.

Oh wait...

I apologize on behalf of the Odin server for unleashing this nuisance into the world. Gotta work on our troll sealing mechanisms.

If you can't clear O4S, I can't for the life of me figure out why it matters whether or not you can get into Ultimate. I'm still waiting for a good reason as to why this needs to change.

I think they just want to see the fight, you know for the experience, they did imply they didn't care about beating it.

[Sandpark]

Nah it's a perfect move.

You can't make super challenging raid content for raider lifers and let anyone come in day one with no experience. Wait a few months to a year and the path there will be easier.

/goes back to endless progression open world mmo hopping.

Youtube? Because otherwise they will see, what, first 10 seconds of fight?

[Driavna]

I don't know... sounds like the real problem is that an experienced raid group can't sell clears right away if the person doesn't have Omega Savage fully cleared before. The progression follows the logic used so far by the game and is nothing new, why complain now?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

This... makes no sense. If you aren't able to clear Neo Exdeath, why would it even matter to you Ultimate mode is locked? You won't come close to scratching it as the entire purpose was to giving raiders additional content once they've finished the current tier. The reason it's gated is, quite frankly, to prevent players who have no business attempting a harder difficulty from doing so, only to get frustrated and blame the game for their impatience. I know it sounds silly, but I also many people who insist on playing games at a higher level than their skills allow and ultimately quit. The devs don't want people doing that when they can barely get through V3S.

[Darwen]

This is some quality bait. Unless you were serious. In which case, stay salty amigo.

[Couchpirate]

I dunno why Ultimate Savage being locked behind a clear requirement is an issue... I mean, if you haven't cleared O1S, you can't do O2S etc... so not being able to access Ultimate Savage if you haven't cleared O4S makes sense. And this just seems like a way of rewarding the people who devote lots of time to be able to clear their most difficult content, which seems like a nice thing for them to do. After all, I see the Ultimate Savage content as a reward, for people who dedicate enough time to be able to clear the hardest content. As someone who hasn't even cleared O2S yet, I don't feel like I should be rewarded unless I can prove that I deserve it.

[Balipu]

Yes, it totally is the right move. Since I would probably die with the boss being at 95% health I won't be experiencing the content anyway.

Ultimate mode is a special piece of content for players way better than me. As it should be. There are tonns to content to choose from. Let hardcore raiders have something for them.
