Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Coratanni]

have fun with your inefficient rate of poetics and exp i guess? I guess you are not a DPS, cus that is not true for that.

Ill be funny to me if Tanks stop becoming instant for this though

Perhaps you didnt read what I said. I ran it with different classes. Let me broaden my comment. I went as a Warrior, a Bard an as an Astrologian. The Queue times were the same for me as they were before when I leveled my other main's classes to 70(i have 18 level 70's if you don't count both arcanist jobs for each). I've leveled ALOT over the last 3 years.

Chill it with the doom and gloom. Most predictions in life that are that way, will prove to be false. I can promise you that.

So two out of the three runs where with jobs that barely have any problems getting into stuff anyway. Maybe you got lucky with Bard and it was on a good time, maybe we are all just too negative about it or not..at the end SE already decided that the reward is not enough. Why would they increase the reward if people are fine with it and running it like before? Well for me it seems more that their data does show less interest than before and that people might not feel like the reward is good enough.

You are either lying, or lose track of time easy. Some people care about efficiency, and how their time is spent. It is clear you do not. That is fine, but do not go acting like everyone shouldn't care how their time is spent.

If you are playing for 3 years and do not have everything at 70 by now, it is clear you are not in this for efficiency, again that is ok, but you shouldn't be speaking like everyone has your mindset. (for the record I also know people that been playing less then 3 years and has everything at 70, all DoW, DoM, DoL, DoH) Also the queue times do prove my point, more people care about efficiency then those that do not, thus high queue times for dps.

Development should not be making changes that give players no choice like this, making thee SC unskippable is a huge joke. (it is even a bigger joke of a change when you have no control over the speed in undersized/premade and in the inn, also confuses me why all the white knights for this change do not comment on these issues)

Also let us not forget an important part of one of my posts:
"It started with more then 30 min wait with a ticket number of 16, 30 mins later it went down to 6"
So this shows how many people are really queueing for it. This was not happening before the change. If you call me "doom and gloom" I am going to cal you blind, blind to the effect this is having.

During the first half of the Ultima Weapon fight, each phase change was shown via one of the Primals being taken out/"freed" from Ultima. When all three were released the first fight ends, then we get the cutscene before going to the second Ultima Weapon fight. Near the end of the second fight it does indeed begin casting Ultima, which if it manages to do so causes a wipe.

Ah, phase changes. Now each phase lasts for about two seconds and Ifrit's fire circles are overlapping Titan's earth circles...

So I guess it was meant to be that we fought it for long enough to deplete that primal's power stored in the Weapon?

During the fights there's flashes of light from Hydaelyn.

I believe those coincide with the primals getting stripped, and they also refill stuff like mana and tp iirc.

In the couple runs I've done recently I haven't seen any overlapping mechanics that didn't before. There are mechanics that are supposed to happen pretty much about as fast as a RDM doublecast though, all of which are Ifrit and Titan ones if I remember correctly from the ARR days.

Basically though the first round against Ultima Weapon we are tying it down long enough for Hydaelyn to pull the primals out of it. Then she shields us from the Ultima spell, leaving her heavily spent for the fight,and other consequences afterwards.

They REALLY should just make it a solo instance and maybe let the player have a couple npcs with them during the instance similar to squad dungeons, so they could maintain the difficulty of the duty and new players doesnt have to wait for ages to queue into the duty PLUS feel actually accomplished something for finishing the duty.

I just run Labyrinth of Ancients now if I really want Poetics. The wait time is less and goes by really quick. Only downside is it has a higher chance of failure on some bosses where as MSQ you're guaranteed to succeed on every fight.

Labryinth of the Mechanics are for Cars? Haven’t had a wipe in there since mid-HW. Hell the Atomos trash has been more responsible for wipes than any of the bosses in my experience.
