Who Thought Adding Difficulty Levels To Instanced Quests Was A Good Idea?

[Saefinn]

I didn't realise people used the MSQ to learn how to play their jobs.

If people are worried about people of a lower skill level causing wipes in content, people tend to learn game mechanics from dungeons and trials and not MSQ. Dungeon and trial difficulty throughout the MSQ is progressive.

It is a good thing actually, i have older friends who have in the past struggled to do some of those solo fights which are required to move on with MSQ.
I do also see the viewpoint but will point out like someone said jump potions and also .. Palace of the dead or heaven on high that some use to "learn" jobs, but whatever players do what they will do it is whatever, lol

Yea, I've been playing through the story at the default difficulty. It doesn't teach or require any real knowledge of how to play to complete. If you know which button makes damage happen, you're good. Adding an easier mode won't change anything, though it does feel unnecessary.

Honestly, I wish there was a harder difficulty and an option to solo dungeons with AI, though. Besides a handful of trials everything has been a faceroll; I have no idea if I'm playing well because it's never really seemed to matter one way or another.

I'd like the option to actually fail content if I screw up, so I can retry and learn some stuff.

I’ll remind you of this next week when the mouth breathers are all vote abandoning the new 24 man because they suddenly can’t mindlessly faceroll through something.

Sure, I'll wait...

[Nalfein]

No really, that will happen. It happens literally every time there is a new 24 man. It's practically part of the patch content at this point.

I'm surprised because it never ever happened once to me since the beginning of 24 man content..

You're either lying or you have incredibly good luck. This happens to me for two weeks after the release of new 24 man content since I came to the game. With the exception of Void Ark because that was always very easy.

They're listed as being on a JPN server, so that's probably why lol. If they're clearing savage in DF, alliance raids shouldn't be an issue.

I'm not lying and I'm not lucky either, which server are you on again? And besides, you should not call people liar.

If you were on a NA server you would be very lucky for this to not happen. I've seen many abandons on Hashmal when it was current and Cid to this day still carries that risk. I've seen an abandon or two on Deathgaze since ShB released.

You guys should know by know that you're expected to carry weaker players.

The only thing I'm upset that its not a hard difficulty i wouldn't mind having. Other than that I'm okay with.

It's not like the solo instances as is teach you how to perform well in a party or even demand any sort of mastery of your class as is. Not a big deal.
