Any doubt that the game lacks enough challenge?

[XStruckX]

First of all, while allowing us to switch classes for the last Job quests is nice to one extent, it would certainly be more 'interesting' and thus 'challenging' if this wasn't possible.

Oh, and



Extremely challenging content that's been beaten less than 48 hours after patch? {Hmmm.}

Lol 40 hours of the 48 hours after the patch was spent trying to beat CC. When we did beat it we got 1 chest... So I guess you think its quite easy so I'm sure you are already getting 5 chests. Anways what Tsubaki says its true...could be a while before someone learns how to speed run and 5 chest it. The challenge is there all right...

The armor is not supposed to be a huge challenge. It does sound like the AF weapons will be the prestige items, though. ^^

On a side note, from now until 2.0 is basically a promotional period with the exclusive content. They probably want to make sure most people who stick through it and pay can experience most off the stuff since some of it will be going away.

Yeah I agree.

I was totally hoping I'd have to grind a rare item with a 0.01% drop rate off of level 60 mobs for one piece of gear, and fight four Ifrits in one arena to get my 15 minute skill.

Damn developers have no clue what they are doing we need more tedious content since it only takes about 3-4 hours to complete a job quest if you're already 50.

Quitting right now.

Now adays it is almost impossible to create a video game that WONT be beaten hours after patch/release. Honestly its a loose loose situation. Make it too hard and people complain its tedious and not fair, make it not hard enough and people whine its to easy. The point is these raids are fun, give us something to do...and not EVERYONE is beating them(Af armor missions included) 8 hours or 3 days after the fact. MOST players have an average learning curve.

You want challenge wait for AF2 lol

Difficulty was perfect and I love these quests. If it is too fast for you, do not play through 24 hours.

I also agree with the above coment, difficulty was perfect!!!
It has solo parts, it has party parts and you get some deaths here and there.
There is no point in doing something 1000 times to succeed, I only want to have fun.

If you dont want this to end quickly dont play 24/7, read the damn story texts and watch the cutscenes.
Took me 7 hours to get full Monk and I am taking my time with the rest of them, its not like next patch is tomorrow...

When I started my first job quest straight after the servers came back up I thought "no, SE why? Not just farming those damned NM's we've all solo'd a million times again!"
Then it became a bit more challenging and I was happy. Cutters cry was a nightmare until we figured out how to get around properly. Soe of the boss fights took five or six attempts before we figured out a strategy, which I think is about the right level of difficulty for af quests.
I'm fairly pleased, I think SE got this one right.

Oh look, it's this topic again.

Do us all a favor and post in the other five and stop wasting space on the forum.

AF is for higher levels.... I think that's where OP is getting at, the af shouldn't be so easy to obtain. I agree.
